Talk:Religious Fundamentalism

It is interesting how something that started so small could grow o big. I like that they did community work in the "Black Ghetto of nearby Chesapeake." By working with children they are trying to prevent problems before they start. A lot of people that go to church are to help do community service because it is good and they church tells you too but also out of the kindness of their heart. They are doing what is right, because they want to. I agree with Kate and Samantha too I really like that there is so much diversity in the views in institutions around the country. Diversity is always a good thing. Religion is very important to some and it always will be to some percentage of the population. I love that fact that in this country you are given the freedom to choose which religion you wish to be a part of, and also that you can choose if you are part of the percentage that religion is very important to you, not so important, and even in the middle. I tin Regent College isn't there to "brainwash" (like Samantha said) the students. You make a decision to attend or not attend that school, maybe depending on your personal beliefs. Pat Robertson founded that school with his own strong beliefs. Legally he could start that school with those beliefs, and if you choose to attend you may or may not have the same beliefs as him. He wanted the school to be specific to the same religion as he himself, being the president of the "Christian Coalition." Finally I do again agree with Kate and Samantha that he seems like a sort of extremist, but i do not believe that he is building a so-called "army." -Tamara
