These Are the ‘Top Conservative Colleges’ in the U.S.

When William F. Buckley Jr. published “God & Man at Yale” in 1951, he claimed that liberalism had infected American academia and that the conservative’s “firm belief in Christianity” and “profound respect for American institutions and traditions” had become the objects of mockery and scorn.

Liberals view the belief that “an active faith in God and a rigid adherence to Christian principles are the most powerful influences towards a good life” or that “free enterprise and limited government [has] served this country well” as nostalgic and “uneducated,” according to Buckley.

Sixty-one years later, some critics say what Buckley observed in academia hasn’t changed for the better. In fact, some believe the situation has worsened far more than even Buckley had foreseen.

Are there any conservative alternatives? That is, do those who have a “firm belief in God,” a respect for free enterprise, and no desire to emulate their peers at these “prestigious” American universities have any options left?

They do.

Young America’s Foundation (YAF), the principal youth activism wing of the conservative movement, has released its 2012 list of the most conservative colleges in the U.S.

What were the criteria to be eligible for the “most conservative” list?

YAF explains:

The “Top Conservative College” list features institutions that proclaim, through their mission and programs, a dedication to discovering, maintaining, and strengthening the conservative values of their students.

They offer coursework and scholarship in conservative thought and emphasize principles including smaller government, strong national defense, free enterprise, and traditional values. Furthermore, they avoid trends in academe by continuing to study Western Civilization instead of straying toward the study of Marxism, feminism, sexuality, postmodernism, and other distractions that do not give students a complete understanding of our country, our culture, and its founding principles.

However, it’s important to note that “this is not an exhaustive list of conservative institutions and should not be taken as such.”

Furthermore, although YAF highly recommends service academies such as West Point and Annapolis, these schools do not appear on the list because they are not liberal arts colleges, but rather military colleges that follow a training model for future officers.

Conservative colleges “are becoming more popular as young people begin to find less and less value in a liberally biased education,” Ron Meyer, YAF’s program officer writes. “As the job market worsens, students are asking: ‘What am I really getting for the tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars I spend on my education?’”

“The esoteric, purely academic focus of most liberal colleges leaves students with little practical knowledge for the fields they will enter. Conservative colleges understand and embrace the free market, giving the students the tools they need to become entrepreneurs,” he adds.

These are the most conservative colleges in the U.S. [all block quotes via YAF]:

Christendom College:

Christendom College in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is a Catholic college with more than 400 undergraduates. Six majors and a master’s degree in theological studies are offered. All undergraduate programs begin with a core curriculum that includes study of Catholic doctrine, as well as philosophy, mathematics, and science.

The college was founded in 1977 by a group of Catholics concerned with the direction of higher education, especially within the Catholic church.

“Only an education which integrates the truths of the Catholic faith throughout the curriculum is a fully Catholic education,” stated the founders.

Led by Dr. Warren H. Carroll, the school’s founders also envisioned how, “the only rightful purpose of education is to know the truth and to live by it. The purpose of Catholic education is therefore to learn and to live by the truth revealed by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…”

The original vision of Christendom lives today through the institution’s devotion to Catholic theology and way of life. The core curriculum reinforces a Catholic worldview and teaches students to “distinguish truth from error or distortion, and then to communicate truth accurately, effectively, and convincingly to others.”

College of the Ozarks:

The College of the Ozarks is a unique Christian Work College…dubbed “Hard Work U.” by The Wall Street Journal, [because] it has a special work-study program where students work in lieu of paying tuition.

…the College of the Ozarks has an extensive character education program. As soon as students arrive for freshman orientation, they begin character education programs and abide by a dress code and an honor code.

A core liberal arts curriculum is required of all students, and an optional character-based curriculum is available. The general education curriculum is “purposefully complemented by an emphasis on the development of vital competencies,” such as writing, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary connections.

Colorado Christian University:

Colorado Christian University (CCU), the latest addition to YAF’s list, offers an ideal conservative experience. Not only has the school recently sued the federal government over the mandates in ObamaCare, they possess some of the best conservative facilities in the country.

CCU’s Centennial Institute offer numerous events and seminars throughout the year, featuring speakers including Governor Sarah Palin former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain, Foundation Vice President Kate Obenshain, and many others. CCU’s curriculum requires a course in western civilization and offers core tracks in theology and American History. These courses and others follow CCU’s unique Strategic Objectives statement, which includes a dedication to the “Bible” and the “original intent of the Constitution.”

Franciscan University:

As a Catholic institution, Franciscan lives by a conservative intellectual and social philosophy based on the strong liberal arts tradition and the teachings of the Catholic church.

Many of Franciscan’s programs are devoted to obtaining a deeper knowledge of the history, philosophy, and culture that shaped Western Civilization.

A factor that distinguishes Franciscan is the student body’s devotion to activism on traditional religious values. Public policy, civic participation, and conservative activism groups remain popular among students.

Grove City College:

As a liberal arts institution, Grove City College’s web site states: “Rejecting relativism and secularism, [Grove City College] fosters intellectual, moral, spiritual, and social development consistent with a commitment to Christian truth, morals, and freedom.”

The atmosphere created at Grove City College through its policies and programs encourages “the spiritual, moral, intellectual, and character development” of its students and staff.

Grove City has a commitment to conservative scholarship in various fields. For example, Dr. Paul Kengor (political science) has written several best-selling books and is an expert in the American presidency. He is also executive director of the College’s think tank, The Center for Vision & Values. Dr. Tracy Miller (economics) has published articles examining international and agricultural economics and economic development. Many of Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises’ papers are housed and researched at the College. In addition, Grove City boasts a strong department of religion and a major in entrepreneurship. Engineering (ABET-accredited programs in mechanical and electrical engineering), education and business round out the most popular majors.

Harding University:

Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas is a robust Christian college with 6,500 students. Ninety majors, thirteen pre-professional programs, and twelve graduate and professional degrees encompass the academic offerings. As the largest private university in Arkansas, Harding offers a well-rounded intellectual experience in a Biblical context. The Honors College also offers in-depth and supplementary study for accelerated students.

Majors from all programs are required to fulfill liberal arts requirements that include seven categories: spiritual and moral values, communications and critical thinking, the individual and social environment, the natural world, the creative spirit, the historical perspective, and global literacy. A moral code signed by all students creates an atmosphere where everyone is held to high standards.

Hillsdale College:

Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan is a liberal arts college with 1,300 students. Offering 34 traditional majors, 8 interdisciplinary majors, and 9 pre-professional programs, its core curriculum exemplifies the tradition of a classic liberal arts program. All students, regardless of major, are required to take courses in humanities, natural science, and social science during their first two years.

Independence is an important theme at Hillsdale. Upon its founding in 1844, it was the nation’s first college to prohibit discrimination based on race, sex, or religion in its charter. Ever since, the institution has not taken a penny from the federal government. When some students received federal loans in the 1970s, Hillsdale quickly reacted by maintaining independence and rejecting government quotas.

Hillsdale provides students with a well-rounded education that focuses on liberty. Students learn what liberty means and the moral conditions of its preservation. They develop the skills to be productive citizens and the character to be good ones. The mission statement sums up the college well.

It reads: “The College considers itself a trustee of modern man’s intellectual and spiritual inheritance from the Judeo-Christian faith and Greco-Roman culture, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.”

There are enough conservative and libertarian millionaires and billionaires out there that can fund new institutions of higher learning. All of these schools are great places, but we need many more colleges with a conservative foundation to create more leaders and professors. Its not likely we are going to be able to take back the major colleges and universities now or in the foreseeable future. Maybe in two generations, it might be possible to start reversing the blatant leftist bias in higher education.

  This needs to start way before college, with all due respect. These schools need to open K-12 in inner-cities where liberalism is rampant and where the kids barely stand a chance. Conservatives looking to invest in football teams (Rush) or those needing a good cause should partner with conservative colleges and think hard about this. There are good teachers out there pidgeon-holed in a progressive curriculum who would probably jump at the chance to get away from teaching those lies and, also, the unions. There are parents out there that have no choices.

  Of course you’d like all this to start before college. Not because you truly believe in fiscal conservatism, but because you’re coming from the religion angle. The only way to instill enduring religionism in a person in the modern world is to catch them before they learn how to think. Indoctrination works for religion, which incidentally is why religion is always at odds with education.

  I’m aware that education still existed when religion had a monopoly on literacy in the Western world. This does not excuse the silencing of Galileo, the Inquisition, the Butler Act/Scopes Trial, the suppression of germ theory, even the dinosaur-deniers that walk among us in the US. Humanity has moved on, we don’t need the psychological crutch of religion any more. The universe does not owe us a sense of meaning, time to grow up.

  The problem with comparing Christian murderers to Atheist murderers, is that neither have anything to do with the Bible. Things like the Crusades and the Holocaust, were all about expanding the power of man. They just used different methods. If you were to actually read the Bible, you’d find there are no commandments to slaughter non-believers. However, the same cannot be said for the Qu’ran.
  
  @encinom
  
  Your lack of theology and history is quite obvious. Rather than use arguments like “hocus pocus” and bring up the Crusades (which was started by Muslims), you should actually read the Bible cover to cover. Research where the translation and the texts were derived from. I say this because historians cannot refute one thing, and that is the Bible is Chronologically and Historically accurate. Some of the stories cannot be verified (like Jonah and the Whale), but it can’t be disproved either. This is where people have faith that the “inspired word” of God is real. And for Christians, this is an easy task because the majority of the Bible is historically verifiable.
  
  So, again, I challenge. Take any book of the Bible and try to prove any of the passages to be “hocus pocus.” Opinions do not count, only fact.

  That’s nice, but the best Universities in the United States are Havard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, Stanford, California Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Duke and etc. I’d include UT. But that’s me.
  
  Those are the premier instututions of higher learning in the United States and all are world class. The United States has the best universties in the world including many, many others I haven’t listed (those are just the ones people have heard of). America is exceptional. We are exceptional in the quality of of the higher education we offer. Students from all over the world come here to study – here, more than any other country. The US is exceptional in the quality of higher education we offer.
  
  But the right? They say our system of education is not exceptional, except exceptionally liberal, exceptionally ill-informed, exceptionally bad for America. Exceptionally science-based rather than religion-based.
  
  I suggest, in that case, you send your children to the universities listed here. Or better yet, as Rick Santorum said, don’t have your children get any higher education at all. It’s not for everybody, and how snobbish to say it is! When we shut down illegal immigration, somebody has to do those jobs!

  Why wait for the “rich” to fund anything. You want to end statism but sounds like you want others to do it. We could help these existing colleges by donating to them. Hillsdale is a no-brainer because of all they do, but have to look into the others a little more. We do have to provide an alternative to the socialist indoctrination camps that have been spreading like a disease in this country. As far as starting new colleges, there’s plenty of us and we can all donate towards every new college in every state : ) Yes, it can take time but that’s how the progressives did it. Too bad they don’t comprehend that true followers of Christ are lovers of their fellow man and leave the judging to God.We all fall short but for the grace of God. Rush has over 20,000,000 listeners. At $5.00 per school each, we can raise $100,000,000.00. How much does it cost to start a university, high schools, elementary schools and pre-k’s. How about “homeschooling” schools run by parents. The progressives are surprised that despite all they’ve infiltrated, they haven‘t and can’t destroy a human being’s desire for liberty. I’m sure we can convince Glenn Back to start a real Glenn Beck University too with lots of help from all of us. There are so many of us.
  They can keep going to their schools where there’s no diversity of thought. We can challenge our students to do more with their minds, body and soul. Unlike their schools, the student won’t get lower grades if they have a different

  I am an employer and I admit that I never used to consider if a college was liberal or not. I also used to consider the ivy league colleges as the best. However, in the past couple of years I have thrown out resumes of candidates from traditionally liberal colleges. These folks are not genuine and tend to bring a bad feeling to teams and they are not at all more qualified than a “lesser college” graduate. As for the ivy league schools, my companies were acquired by an equity firmed staffed with ivy leaguers. I have an MBA and was admittitedly intimidated by these guys until I worked with them daily, there degree is not more practicle or applicable than my cheapo MBA when the rubber meets the road.
  I am becoming less intrigued by people with degrees overall, I still require them for employment but I can give a good reason why. I will look for resumes with these schools on them as well as others that I feel represent OLD VALUES that are timeless and not progressive schools that teach entitlement and apathy.

  The “Perfect Storm” began brewing in earnest about 1913 – it gained power in 1947 and then again in 1950′s. Communists/Marxists Progressives laid claim to our Universities (they’ve admitted it recently)
  and their entire goal was to POISON THE MINDS OF AMERICAN STUDENTS.
  
  It has taken US, the Typical Citizen of the USA, about 100 years to CATCH ON. Our text books, our Teachers, our entertainment…all poisoned for the purpose of ‘rotting America from the inside”. Kruschev with his shoe off at the UN podium said so in the 50′s. That tape is probably on YouTube somewhere.
  The way to SOLVE this problem is to 1. Recognize it and then 2. Make everyone in USA AWARE that this has been going on. WE have to get this Child of American Destruction out of the White House this election. This is it. We don’t get a “re-do”. There will be NO Constitution; NO Bill of Rights; NO 3 branches of Government; NO more Presidency – he will become Dictator.
  
  NONE of them, anyone surrounding OBAMA from SUNSTEIN to JARRETT have any ability to tell us what is best for us. They do it because they are Atheists who think they can make the world better but with every move, they make it worse. Enslavement is their next move. NOW or NEVER folks.

  Rick,
  I’m always intrigued by the tendency of religious people, Christians in particular, to point to the nominally atheistic socialist regimes of the past two centuries as a historical rebuttal to any mention of the genocidal legacy of organized religion.
  Whenever I hear the claim that the atheistic governments of China, North Korea, the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc, and Cuba have been responsible for more death and suffering over the years than any theocracy, I can’t help but take the crux of this argument to be the following: If these regimes did not kill in the name of God, then naturally they did so in the name of atheism.
  The notion that godlessness drove these regimes, with varying conviction, to kidnap, detain, torture, and murder misrepresents both the meaning of atheism and the nature of 20th century communism.
  The Stalinist or Maoist ideology calls for state atheism, but then again, it calls for state everything. Totalitarian regimes do not seek to stamp out religion because they hate God, but because they want the inner party to exert the same brand of thought control over the common citizen that the clergy would typically wield. The architects of these governments were genuine, rigid non-believers, the type of people that could recognize the church as an instrument of both ideological and political control, one that stood in the way of the final victory for Big Brother. Christianity and Stalinism have far more in common than you think.

  the Bible holds no secret truth, the bible is no different than Homer’s Iliad. There are some historical truths mixed up with some hocus pocus. The problem is that these so called “universities” teach the bible as literal truth, see the debunked creationism/ID. Were you to argue that the bible should be read as a symbolic book, containing methaphors and morality plays that is fine. But once you begin to tell me how we must today follow the laws of nomadic goat herders that approved of honor killings and slavery. Once you begin to proclaim that dinosaurs and man wlaked together and that ancient man lived hundreds of years you lost me.

Problem is, atheists seem to be able to dodge responsibility or guilt for their actions, because for them, there are no eternal consequences (or cause) to their behavior.

  Bravo your comment on morals.
  
  It humors me how the modern day lib/dem/athiest/progressive seems to have no problem with the muslim, but they hate the Christain. They try to attribute honor killings and other acts of evil to Christians, but ignore the evils of Islam.
  
  Another aspect I find interesting: If us real christians are wrong (and we are not), then we live a life where we believe in treating our neighbor as good or better than ourselves, we believe in taking care of the widows and orphans, and while good works do not save us, we believe we will be held accountable for our works, and try to live accordingly. In the end, we die, become worm food, but have lived a decent life. If we are right, then we still live a good life, and spend eternity in heaven. If the atheist is wrongt, he spends eternity in hell. I think it is a win, win for Christians. Amazing how atheists hate christians though. Reality of the situation, is that when they lay their head down at night, and are all alone with nothing but their own thoughts, they know God is real, and it terrifies them. They hate God, and would rather worship their own minds.

  While you’re on the right track with all that fiscally conservative rhetoric, you make the same mistake as most American ‘conservatives’ when you try to fuse that ideology with the bible or christianity. The bible has absolutely nothing relevant to say about the pluralistic, globalized world that we live in today. Stop clouding the republican message. The GOP has already lost this election because of the completely transparent demagoguery of its candidates who try to convince people that gay marriage, not economic policy, is the defining issue of our time. People like Santorum who derive their entire political worldview from the book of leviticus are rightfully ridiculed these days. If a person has read the books of genesis and revelations, and believes what these ancient scrapbooks say about how the world began and how it will end, then they should have absolutely no voice in govenrment or education, period.

  “But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of the city shall stone her with stones that she die, because she hath wrought folly in Israel to play the whore in her father’s house.”

Do yourself a little study, and see where we fall world wide in realtion to math and science, then see what we spend per year, per student in comparison to the coyntries that blow us out of the water.
  
  Check back and see how our schools did back in the day before the fed gov getting its grubby hands out our education system. Years ago in one room schools, kids learned high level math, latin, geography. Now our schools are heathen establishments more in line with letting little Johnny express himself with his baggy pants, and lack of discipline, respect, and real learning. Kids used to do roped memorization, and there was no such thing as graduating without being able to read. Hillary and the villege of idots have destroyed our schools.

I think you got christians mixed up with the muslims. Funny how libs seem to love the muslim, and hate the Christian, but it is the Mulsims that do the things that libs attribute to us Christians.

If I had to do it all over again, there‘s no way in hell I’d waste time and money going to college – especially with the way this country is now swinging. Working hard and working smart is only going to pay off if you are working in your own business.

What’s happening now and what will continue to happen is that it is much more difficult to stake your claim so to speak, working for somebody else, when that somebody else has to answer to brain-dead Marxists.

Instead of college, I’d pressure kids to learn a solid work ethic and instill an inner drive to produce. Spend the 100k on startup costs. Who in the hell wants to work in the private sector when soon not only what you will get paid will be determined by a bureaucrat in Washington, but “what” you do as well? No thanks. Even if the commies tax your business to death, you’re still “in the game”. You won’t become a worthless slug whose life has no value like most socialists.

  Not disagreeing with you, but for many jobs, a college degree is a requirement. (Even though someone without a degree might actually be more qualified due to experience.) If you’re worried about the cost of college, I would recommend School of the Ozarks. You are guaranteed to not have student loan debt when you graduate from there. In my first job out of college, I worked with several graduates of School of the Ozarks. Tremendous work ethic. If I was a recruiter, I’d make that college a high priority.

Now, I know The Blaze can’t mention BYU on this list because Glenn is a Mormon and many Evangelicals would freak out to see it. But I’m actually really offended by the fact that its missing. I mean, lets put aside all of our biases for a moment and just look at the actual quality of education offered. From an educational standpoint BYU has business and law schools that rival Harvard, Stanford and the U of Chicago. In fact, Wall Street hires BYU grads more often than Ivy grads because of their reputation for honesty. Spiritually speaking, every single class is taught from a Christian perspective and students are even required to take rigorous classes on religion itself. They have a zero tolerance policy for sin. You fornicate one time and you are usually expelled. BYU, in every category, outclasses every school on this list and it really offends me that we can’t just admit that because so many Evangelicals are intolerant of Mormonism without any just or rational cause. I’m not saying these schools are not great, they are all amazing schools! Especially Hillsdale. But they are small time colleges compared to the educational and spiritual giant of a University that is BYU.

  At one point BYU probably could have been on this list but the larger it grew the more liberal it had to become because of the requirements for accreditation for certain majors. Plus not all Mormons are conservatives so not all Mormon teachers are conservatives and the LDS church isn’t about to say “I’m sorry, you have to be conservative to teach here.”

  From Wikipedia
  BYU accepted 68% of the 10,409 people who applied for admission in the summer term and fall semester of 2009.[30] The average ACT score and GPA for these admitted students was 28.2 and 3.8, respectively.[30] U.S. News and World Report describes BYU’s selectivity as being “more selective” and compares it with such universities as the University of Texas and The Ohio State University.[31][32][33] In addition, BYU is ranked 26th in colleges with the most freshman Merit Scholars, with 88 in 2006.[34] For the past two years, BYU outranked every university in the country including Harvard University for the percentage of accepted applicants that go on to enroll (78% vs. 76% for Harvard).[35]
  
  Students attending BYU must have an esclesiastical endorsement. They don’t have any problems with getting enough students. People who go there want to go there for the good atmosphere. There are some bad apples there but it hasn’t been rated the #1 cold sober school in the nation for the last 14 years running for nothing!

  KyleD – I can guarantee you that any teacher that teaches standards, morals, values, etc., that is not in line with the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints no longer teachs there.
  
  In addition, The Church acknowledges that the US Constitution was inspired of God and that our Founding Fathers were raised for the very purpose of establishing this great land. Any teachings that would contradict, the existence of God or His Son (Jesus Christ), family values, chastity, agency, the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, patriotism, Capitalism coupled with integrity, self-sufficiency, continued education from books of truth, etc. would not be tolerated and would be removed from the institution.
  
  A Christian by it’s very definition (i.e., as defined by the New Testament Saints) is Conservative. A practicing member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Conservative. They who would disagree either do not understand the doctrines of Christ’s Church or fail to live them.

Here is the actual pledge that the students were asked to sign and then recite during the graduation ceremony:

I,________pledge to explore and take into account the social justice and environmental consequences of any job I consider and will try to improve these aspects of any organization for which I work. I will further the Lasallian tradition by continuing to learn and by serving others to build better communities and a better society.”

The speaker at the ceremony stated “In the last two years we have joined 200 other universities across the country by making this pledge a new tradition.” The students were told to stand and raise their hand for the pledge. The ones who were taking the pledge were given a silver medallion to wear on their graduation robes.

Tip for parents: Before enrolling your child ask if they are one of these 200 universities making this pledge a “tradition”. If the answer is “yes”, RUN!

I went to Ricks College and then to the University of Utah. Though not on the list, both were very conservative back in the early 80′s. The problem with the U of U is that it has tried to become the anti-BYU, even though most of the students are conservative. The problems with modern education is the liberal faculty and their lock on only attracting more liberal teachers.

  Anyone wondering why you’ve never heard of a single one of these places before? There’s a very good reason. A faith that is at war with the human intellect probably won’t run the most reputable institution of higher learning. Anyone ever stop to consider that the communist/marxist/socialist libs that you demonize might be so prevalent in college faculty because non-religious people pretty much have a monopoly on intelligence? Do you think people become teachers to spread a liberal agenda? Or maybe is it just because they are smart enough to teach, and almost all religionists are not?

He has been(Not really sure what his position on it now is since he will change it to whatever is needed) pro abortion, pro gun control and pro bailouts.

  I post all the time on these forums on many subjects. On to the meat of the issue. You claim my post is anti Mormon. If Brigham Young said those things is that anti Mormon? I dont believe posting things from Jesus Christ is anti Christian. I dont believe posting things from Paul is anti Christian. Maybe the problem isnt who said it, but what was said.
  
  Point 1.
  Brigham Young said, “If our Father and God should be disposed to wak through these aisles, we should not know Him from one of the congregation. You would see a man and that is all you would know about Him.” (Journal of Discourse, Vol II, pg 40). Mormons belief that through faithfulness to the mormon doctrine they too may one day become gods with a planet of their own.
  
  The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us. (Doctrine and Covenants 130:22)
  
  Point 2
  “Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?…when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the ignorant of their fellows. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 271)

  Posted on March 16, 2012 at 4:53pm
  continued…
  
  Point 3
  
  Brigham Young said you are damned if you deny polygamy.
  “Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned,” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, p. 266). Also, “The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy,” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 11, p. 269).
  
  Yes using the man’s own words I somehow and a anti Mormon person. It it that, or you have zero defense against it. Jesus, the disciples, and no other prophets I can think of in the Bible said such outlandish things.
  
  Brigham didnt stop there though. Lets look at other interesting things he talked about.
  
  Brigham Young said you can‘t get to the highest heaven without Joseph Smith’s consent.
  “…no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith,” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 289).
  
  Brigham Young said you must confess Joseph Smith as a prophet of God in order to be saved.
  “…and he that confesseth not that Jesus has come in the flesh and sent Joseph Smith with the fullness of the Gospel to this generation, is not of God, but is Antichrist,” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 9, p. 312).
  
  Need more? OK.

  Brigham Young said Jesus’ birth was as natural as ours.
  “The birth of the Savior was as natural as the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood–was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 8, p. 115).
  
  Brigham Young said God was progressing in knowledge.
  “God himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, and will do so, worlds without end,” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 120).
  
  Brigham Young taught that Adam was God.
  “Now hear it, O inhabitants of the earth, Jew and Gentile, Saint and sinner! When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organize this world. He is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days! about whom holy men have written and spoken — He is our Father, and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do. Every man upon the earth, professing Christians or non professing, must hear it, and will know it sooner or later.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, p. 50).

Cain might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 290).
  
  Brigham Young said that Jesus was not begotten by the Holy Spirit.
  “I have given you a few leading items upon this subject, but a great deal more remains to be told. Now, remember from this time forth, and for ever, that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, p. 51).
  
  “When the time came that His first-born, the Saviour, should come into the world and take a tabernacle, the Father came Himself and favoured that spirit with a tabernacle instead of letting any other man do it,” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 4, p. 218). “The birth of the Savior was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood — was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 8, p. 115)

  This is why I have a hard time reading the comments on here. The hypocrites cry all day long about liberal talking points from media matters but then martinez copies and pastes directly from CARM, a website that goes out of its way to prove why everyone else is wrong instead of talking why they are right, all while taking everything out of context and taking snippets from speeches. You want to comment on a religion that you are too lazy to study yourself. You can’t even take the time to read the Book of Mormon, you have to copy and paste from websites that take one sentence out of an entire speech. You are pathetic. I‘ve challenged plenty of you hypocrites to email me and I’ll talk to you about every single point CARM raises but none of you have even tried but you cowards only like it if you can use your liberal tactics that you cry so much about, throwing out a talking point and instead of discussing one point you just keep trying to throw out new ones.

  Well for one, I didnt get them out of CARM or whatever that is. Secondly, you can take the whole speeches from Brigham Young and try and explain them here and clear up things for us. Remember you only have 1600 characters to do, hence why I dont bother putting the whole speech here.
  
  If the prophets are fake, the religion is fake. Some will say, well why do you care. Well for every person that is tricked into believing they will become a god one day, is one less person that will be in Heaven giving glory to the real God. Also, I have a very close friend who is a Mormon who I have discussed these things with and he has verified that he indeed believes that he may one day become a god. He believes that Jesus and Satan are brothers. He believes God was once a man on another planet. He also believes that when he becomes a god, he will have a polygamous life as a god and populate a new planet.
  
  So save you comments about me, and use your information to disprove Brigham Young said those things, or show us the context of what he said those things.

  Do you have any original arguments to discuss? Which of the hundreds of ”Christian” denominations do you belong to? Who was the founder? Who did it break off of? Which version of the Bible do you read? If the Bible teaches there is one Lord, one faith and one baptism, why are there hundreds? If God is the same yesterday today and forever, and does nothing until he reveals secrets to his servants the prophets, where are the prophets? When Jesus said “my Father and your Father, my God and your God” doesn’t that make Jesus our brother? Those are the questions that led me to the truth.

A well-known Catholic university in my town has been taken over by the Progressives. The crosses that were once placed in each classroom have been disappearing one-by-one. The students are asked to sign a pledge and recite a pledge to social justice and environmentalism during their graduation ceremony. Hopefully, the attack on the Catholic Church by the Obama administration has awakened them and they will reverse their course and return to their values.

Don’t know about the Catholic colleges but never take anything for granted and be on your guard. Our daughter went to a highly recommended, long established in very Conservative beliefs and I was very shocked to hear that they had Muslim professors in some areas and far too many students, who were raised in Bible believing families were starting to believe what was being spread — that Allah is the same “God” as the Christians. I’ve also noted some very conservative churches saying that by pastors. For sure you don’t want to send to any “liberal” type college with lib professors. That’s what happened with most if not all our kids who went there and were “converted” to liberalism decades ago, took that as their “righteous cause”, dedicated themselves to promoting (like Hillary) – got jobs in Govn’t, teachers, etc. and so now we reap what we sowed.

  Allah IS the same as the Christian God, and so is the Jewish God. The Koran contains the Torah which is also contained in the Old Testement.
  
  Think of it this way. There are a number of different Christian religions. They all have different interpretations of the bible but even so they are still all talking about the same God and the same Jesus even if their characterization of those two individuals are different.
  
  Back in the day, however, there was no New Testament and Jesus had yet to be born. You simply had the a few books of the Old Testament and Moses was your biggest figure. People get separated and grew separate beliefs and eventually you have two completely divergent religions. One became the Muslim faith and the other became the Jewish faith (which was what Jesus was before he asked all Jews to follow him and fulfilled the Law of Moses). We’re all worshiping the same God here…it’s just our customs and beliefs in that God have diverged.

She stated what her teachers were claiming that “America = Bad“ and ”Liberals = Good” – “Capitalism = Bad” – “Social Justice – Good”

SHE decided that this college was not for her and is now looking at a private Christian school.

So hopefully – the Liberal MINORITY is starting to be shown for the racists and biggots that they are.
