I am Catholic, but I love Liberty's format. I just dislike all the negative people who bash on Liberty's education because Liberty implements a lot of religious information in the courses, which I don't mind at all. Of course everyone's opinion might differ, which I perfectly accept! Or the employers who dislike Liberty due to that. Like I said, I still have Liberty on top of my list. Besides Liberty, I am looking for it to be online (obviously, heh) Master degree program, preferably a MBA. Baylor, TCU, Notre Dame, etc. are "conservative Christian schools"... Liberty is in the "crazy" camp with Bob Jones, Oral Roberts, Regent, etc... There are plenty of conservative Christian schools in the US who can do a great job in educating students without encouraging religious zealotry and ideological purity.

This made me laugh. I skipped over Regent's government program because the university was founded by the false prophet, Pat Robertson, and he's still alive. He always makes these predictions on his show that don't come true. It's kind of creepy. And he had the nerve to say that Presbyterians, Methodists, and another denomination harbor the spirit of the Antichrist.

Yet Liberty is so beautiful, as a campus. The student life. The online environment. Yet it has to be so "crazy" to differ me to other schools.
Like this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep8MYANIv1Y
Bill Maher expresses his opinion on Liberty, Sanantone and Yanji your thoughts? Lol.

And BTW, I don't mean to offend anyone at Liberty University. Like I said, I love Liberty's format. I am just so skeptical about it. So if any Liberty University grad students or even undergrad here on the forum, I don't mean to offend anyone with the Bill Maher link. I honestly don't even like Bill Maher. I just provided that link to show what type of criticism a Liberty University student can face.

I didn't like how Bill Maher's "documentary" really only attacked Christians, Muslims, and Jews as if those are the most ridiculous religions practiced today. On the other hand, I do not think that Young Earth Creationists follow the scientific method. They are trying to create a theory to fit what they want to believe. That is not science and I don't think you need to believe in Young Earth Creationism in order to be a Christian.

Well said. I'm not at against religious-affiliated colleges and universities (there are many great ones all over the US) but trying to twist science and facts to fit your own views and passing it off as fact in the name of religion is objectionable. I'm sure Liberty has some redeeming qualities and I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of students who attend Liberty are well aware of the school's reputation and have no issues with identifying with the school.
