This isn't even specifically about Christianity, it's about faith. Then you have your historical revisionists that attempt to lob little things in their to cause you to questions your belief in Jesus Christ as well.
My beliefs in Christ were most certainly changed -- but all for the positive! It was hard not to have a different appearance after a 5 years at the University! When you wrestle, it's not always pretty.
Critical Thinking alone isn't enough for a professor that has more credibility in most student's eyes than a preacher, who has a pulpit to say what he wants, how he wants to say and has no need to build the student up -- they have succeeded if they can just tear them down. Let's not be naive. Too many of us have been there, done that and understand it's a battlefield in the classroom. Wisdom University, True-U, TruthProject are all responses to this problem.

If Pragmatist is the exception then SOMETHING IS WRONG and it's not with the University.
