Beej, I was wondering something. If you go to college and the professor has a different belief than you, can you still learn other things from him as long as you hold on to your own faith?
And even if he would now and then talk about religion or politics on the side, in a way you don't agree with, can you still take notes and study to make a good grade on the rest of what he teaches on?
As long as I'm not forced to make a public statement that goes against my beliefs to get a good grade, I have no problem with someone believing differently. But I've got enough sense to know I don't fuss with the professor in his classroom unless I want to be asked to leave.
Have you tried lately to see if you are still banned? There is always alot of interesting things to learn. :)
