<p>Whistle - *It will be the rare professor who encourages, nurtures, and/or embraces biblical views of many social issues. *</p>
<p>Biblical views figure in history, art, lit, languages and the social sciences. OTOH, in a class exploring different events, philosophies, interpretations and perpectives, it is not enough to try to “prove” by referring to just one source, ONLY one source, the Bible. </p>
<p>Many devouts can comprehend that; often, the exploration deepens their religious beliefs. </p>
<p>But, if your purpose in college is to study the Bible as your primary focus or study topics primarily relying on the Bible, sure, go to a Bible-based college. </p>
<p>How many colleges do you have experience with, Whistle? Can you speak for those you have no experience with- because many of us know a variety of schools, work for them, have kids at them, read the professional journals, follow the ethics discussions, etc.</p>
<p>And, we know about college religious clubs, pastors, activities (including religious and some meant to bring in new members) - AND we have no problems with very religious people-</p>
<ul>
<li>as long as they are not telling us they alone know what’s up and we don’t.<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, modesty is a virtue.<br>
OP, see how we do accept?</p>
<p>Sbj, good comments and I believe you and your son explored to find what would work best for him. That’s what kids should do- not take another’s hearsay.</p>
