Welcome Thelonius Kwiggz!
Good to see a lurker beginning to participate.
Theres a range of views on matters spiritual here and I guess we could be described as a broad 'Church' in this regard.Im not surprised that the professors at a Christian University would be a little hesitant to really discuss alternative viewpoints.
Once more, welcome to your active phase at the Nexus.
I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.
