Santorum: Colleges diminishing faith. WHAT!




Santorum claimed in this video that the left uses colleges and universities to spread secular and liberal ideas, following with comments that it’s “no wonder” President Obama wants kids to go to college.
Santorum continues:
If they taught Judeo-Christian principles in those colleges and universities, they would be stripped of every dollar. If they teach radical secular ideology, they get all the government support that they can possibly give them. Because you know 62 percent of children who enter college with a faith conviction leave without it.”
Santorum concluded with a call for individuals to stop donating any money whatsoever to colleges and universities. As a side note, Santorum has a B.A. from Penn. State, an M.B.A. from Univ. of Pittsburgh, and a J.D. from Penn. State Dickinson.

He claims that the Universities are teaching the left  RADICAL SECULAR IDEOLOGY! What is this radical secular ideology?  Does he mean enforcing the First Amendment of separation of church and state? How about equal rights for all? How about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? How about an open and free democracy? How about compassion for your fellow man who is in need? How about fair and equal opportunity in all things, including economic justice? How about individual freedom that allows a women to choose what's best for her and her reproductive organs? How about not having religion taught in publicly funded school and universities or requiring students to pray?  I guess all these things are RADICAL SECULAR Ideology.

So I guess in his America. In order to hold office, you would have to be a devote Christian, all laws of the nation and states must comport with the laws of Christian theology, government has the right to control a women's body to include denying contraceptives, including condom use, establish person hood at the time of fertilization of the human egg in the woman.  Make any homosexuality activity a crime and punishable in prison. Elimination or exportation of any non-Judo-Christian faiths like Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and Atheist. Compel all citizens to attend a Christian church every Sunday. Tax citizens to support the Christian churches and their operations. Only married couples can cohabit, no more live-in mates. Doing so would be a crime and punishable by prison. Divorce would be eliminated, once you marry, that is it. The only way to change that is if one of the spouses dies. The government will determine what kind of clothing is allowed to be worn. It must be modest as defined by his law. All books and entertainment will have to be approved by the Department of Information Control to insure it reflect Christian family values. No sex, nudity, or any suggestive content whatsoever.

Now you think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. He has made such statements over the years. To him personal freedom is directly tied to observance of Judo-Christian laws and tenets. He has no concept of actual personal freedom and liberty.

For his information, colleges don't conspire to diminish faith. What they do do it give the students the information that is founded on provable scientific theory, which in turn is based on facts of observation, testing and peer review, and the students apply the critical thinking we are asking them to use.

Thus they come to the conclusion all their own that religious dogma is not supported by the facts, therefor they leave with a better understanding of the universe they live in. Not the fairy tale of two people created in a garden, Noah gathering two of every living thing on earth in a boat about the size of a large cabin cruiser for 40 days and nights, while the entire human population is killed by this loving and compassionate God of theirs.

Talk about un-American... To ask donors to not support American universities is outrageous. This guy is a danger to our secular, separation of church and state, constitutional guarantee.
