Getting Back to Church Basics

Re “Losing Their Religion” (March 13): As a Christian, I applaud Baylor University for lifting its 150-year ban on dancing at the school. The view from both inside and outside the church has for too long been that God’s law is nothing more than don’t drink, don’t dance.

The Christian college is not secularized because dancing and drinking are in, but because clear teaching of God’s law and the Gospel are out.

I think the solution to Christian higher education is for the churches to get out of it. What business do they have with educating people? Simply put, the churches only benefit when believers are uneducated. The more people learn about the world and the role the churches have played in our twisted history, the less likely they are to adhere to church teachings.
