“i really wonder why, as Christians, we think it's ok to go to a secular university and have to sit through their classes on psychology, religion, science, and whatever else. do we really need to subject ourselves to that?”
Well, let me tell you what this one guy said about that:
“Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances, …and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn."
-- St. Augustine, "De Genesi ad litteram libri duodecim
You, of course, may prefer to sound like an ignorant Christain, and feel the scorn of those laughing at you…
“I personally think apprenticeships are more appropriate for most if not all fields.”
Yes, yes. That’s perfect. I want MY next surgeon to say, “Okay, my Master never did show me how to remove an appendix, so I’ve never done it, but there’s an excellent Youtube on it…”
Or my financial advisor, “The guy running my Master Program didn’t believe in tax shelters, so I can’t offer any, but I’ve heard good things about them.”
