Honestly, Liberty would have been better off to stay on campus without going off to Spring Break and/or home, and then going back to campus. Best of all, of course, would have been to go home and stay there. Now they managed to bring anything they picked up on campus home, and then anything they picked up at home back to campus, not to mention a small town.

What a great idea.
This will backfire in a couple of weeks.
One of the central beliefs of the Falwell/LibertyU verson of Christianity is that the only key to Heaven is to proclaim one's faith in Jesus Christ. No acknowledgement or repentance of sin is required. One can even participate in the deliberate killing of millions of people without remorse and go to Heaven.
Many of these people do not care if they kill people outside their community due to ignorance and carelessness. I note not all at Liberty necessarily think that way.

Right...subs are not teachers. Most are retirees who want a side hustle or unqualified parents who cant find full time retail work.

Uh, you do realize that it's not Liberty's version of Christianity, right? Jesus himself taught that faith in Him is the one and only way to eternal life. Churches that are inclusive and open to the "all roads lead to heaven" approach are not teaching what their leader taught.

For real?
Wasn’t it another Virginian who said, “Give me Liberty University, and give me Death!”
7 million children will die in Africa of starvation this year. You could have saved thousands of them by sending $50k last year. I am glad to hear that you did that. But if you did, how are you posting without a phone or internet? I assume you don't have a car either because you could use the money to save even more lives and you will eliminate the risk of additional car accidents. Oh, you will cut down on air pollution also which will save lives.

gotta love ye olde christians.
if you can 'pray the gay away' then maybe you can help with covid.
of course, it was their all loving, all powerful god who controls all things that chose to unleash this virus on the world in the first place...or he didn't chose to unleash it, he's just not powerful enough to stop it. either way, it's a good thing their god doesn't really exist. otherwise he's the biggest asshoole in history.
it's turning into a suicide death cult. they think if millions die jesus will come back to save them...and f everyone else.

Nah, they'll just say God (gotta have that capital G) chose to unleash this virus on the morally wrong as a way to cleanse the world of sinners...or some sh*t like that
Trump vs virus:
One is a mutant,
a leech,
unlikely to be alive next week,
agnostic,
apolitical,
asexual,
has no brain
etc.
Pretty close fight so far, but the virus still looks fresh.

Of course it is, and of course students are back on campus. Freakin' ridiculous. We can count on Liberty University and other like "Christian" universities to politicize a virus. While when push comes to shove, I wouldn't wish hell on anyone, sometimes part of me wishes hell was a real place. MANY people at Liberty University would be going there for sure.

Bad Wigins.... you’ve tarnished your name on these boards over the past week. I’m not sure you’ll ever recover from this.
Then put most of the kids back in school. You really think I'm wrong because you can nitpick? Get in line. You're making me look great. Point STANDS. Schools should never have been closed, and this infectious disease expert agrees.
Someone even seems to have reported it and got it deleted. On what grounds, I wonder? Other than too many facts, made too much sense, they feared losing the debate.
And if you really believe you can shame me, look around - an emerging majority on the boards agrees the panic was way overblown. The tide has turned.
You're an idiot. You actually challenge Sally Vix on these boards for the biggest idiot here, and Sally is the dumbest person I have ever encountered. Congratulations!

Amen to this, brother! QFT!
Browns coach Sam Rutigliano coached there in the '90s.
I never thought I would say this, but a bunch of born-again fools are now officially smarter than the rest of the country. I guess it proves the old adage that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

What planet are you from? Welcome to Earth! Religion's influence in politics has been steadily declining for at least a century or more now. Religion in general has been seriously declining for a long time. So I have great news for you, you can stop being afraid now.

Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them...
Unwillingness to compromise is certainly not unique to Christians. There are many Atheists who are as uncompromising about their ideologies as any religious person. Religion is not the cause of being unwilling to compromise, it is merely the excuse. In its absence, people can and do find other excuses.

And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? ... I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.'"
You must be in possession of a time machine! What year did you come from? In the present-day, it is overwhelmingly the Left that is trying to force their morals on everyone else, and the conservatives you so despise are on the defensive and mostly just trying to fight for the right to be left alone and allowed to maintain their own beliefs and not have the Left's morals forced on them.
