i just can't wrap my head around what happened at VA tech. why?

it's the end of the world and we're still here...

no, i'm really serious. the intense version is being played right now at cedarville university.

after an hour+ long debate in the bathroom on this, the eve before the chapel that is rumoured to contain some authoritative statement from the higher-up, my mind is racing and i can't sleep.

what's more important: holding to a strict doctrinal position or encouraging critical thinking and personal faith? which purpose is/should be higher for a christian "liberal arts institution"?

i don't mind being the minority, being branded the "liberal," but i don't really understand what all this will accomplish. in the end we're all saying the same thing, aren't we?

who knows. i will in a week.
