Shibboleths & Substance

Set aside the pretty girl in Daisy Maes with zipper partly down and tummy exposed.

Set aside the President of a Christian university with skinny jeans, zipper partly down and tummy exposed.

Set aside said President’s glazed eyes, drink-occupied left hand and right hand on said pretty girl’s bare waist.

Now answer me:

  1. What the hell is the President of a Christian university doing with his own private yacht?
  2. What the hell is the President of a Christian university doing throwing a theme party mocking lower-status people on said yacht?

Be it noted, too, that Jerry Falwell, Jr. was not the face of Evangelicalism (as he said, he was a lawyer and real estate developer, not a pastor) until the press decided to make him its face, nor was Liberty University the face of Evangelical education (few first-rate scholars, some of them fed-up and fleeing).
