Well, damn, it’s actually real 😂

I guess we're just sitting around waiting for more geography flat earth theories or maybe some deep dive into the evolution of living organisms starting from the dawn of time back in 3697 BC.

Look at it as a positive—it just gives me more opportunities to learn. 👍

If we’d actually had the chance to pick that subject back when we were in college, maybe we would’ve actually gotten hooked on it and ended up making a career out of it after graduation😛

It’s been part of the curriculum for quite a while now. It sits among those seven or eight humanities electives you can pick from, all of which carry just as much weight in the degree structure as any core requirement. 😁

There’s actually a decent crowd that signs up for it, whether it’s because of their specific career interests or simply because they think it’ll be an easy pass—though, if you ask me, I don't think it's any easier than the other options.

And here I was, under the impression that Hall &Oates were strictly electro-pop... 🤷

It’s probably more likely for a college student to thread a needle than for them to actually stumble into biblical theology (Wisdom 9:12).

Learning Outcomes

1. Identify abbreviations, chapters, and verses within Bible books
2. Determine the right study materials for analyzing biblical texts
3. Analyze biblical passages using modern exegetical methods
4. Explain selected biblical passages clearly
5. Recognize core theological themes found throughout the Old Testament and New Testament
6. Apply biblical perspectives to personal spirituality, social issues, and business ethics
7. Replicate key themes and draw conclusions relevant to today's world
8. Analyze and evaluate specific books of the Bible

Bring back Marxism and you'll be forgiven for everything... 🍿

Man, there were times... Thank God for those days!

I’m just sitting here waiting for an app that pings my phone whenever I get close to a group of gay guys or a doctor performing an abortion.

Reddit is the largest and one of the oldest American general-purpose internet forums. It was launched in 1999 by Željko Anderlon.[1][2] It originated as a section of the website CNN, but was eventually singled out with its own domain in 2003.[3][third-party source needed] As of August 2017, the forum has nearly 504,000 registered users with nearly 50 million messages.[2] The forum most frequently attracts highly educated individuals, between 18 and 35 of age.

"The site usually draws in a crowd of pretty well-educated folks, mostly in that 18 to 35 age bracket."

So, basically, FC Barcelona fans are your typical Reddit users ☕

It mostly draws in unemployed students and guys with philosophy or political science degrees. ☕

Rotations on steroids

It’s a shame those types don't actually sign up. They just lurk in the shadows, occasionally checking in on what people with completely different personalities are actually talking about.☕

Honestly, I’d love to see you all get hit with a massive reality check reform—get up at 5 AM and get your hands dirty in the fields ☕

There are certainly some high-quality college courses out there where one could pick up a fair amount of fascinating material.

But what about the Old Testament or the Geneva Convention, or perhaps the dynamic between a woman and the Church—exploring equality through the lens of humility?

Though this does feel a bit revolutionary, considering some prominent church scholars still quite clearly argue that women should be secondary to men...

Maybe it would be better to just design a course specifically for women, focusing on reconciling those feelings of being second-tier, the drive for career success, and the natural desire to start a family...🙂

The kids get priority after all...
