She might just learn herself right out of the Christian worldview! I did. It's so very narrow that it's easy to find things that lay outside of it (like most of history) once you start learning about the world around you. Down goes the house of cards!

I think she's on the right track! Even if she is going to a college that likes to keep education as narrow as possible. Gather as much knowledge as you can, and lots of it will be tied to the outside world - because you can't cut off reality!

If she marries and becomes subject to religion's, especially evangelical, subjugation of women, she may never reach intellectual fruition. Or perhaps she may, but have to then choose children and family over personal realization.

I saw the photo and immediately felt frustration, moreso when I read her comments. I hope as Balance states she can eventually find a wider perspective on the outside world.

Realistically there are many so called educated women within the christian world but their education is strictly religious and religion loves an uninquiring mind. Believers, becomes like stone, unable to change despite the wind, rain, snow and heat that is applied over the years. It is truly a slate, with no chance to be writ large only hard and immovable.

Religion and Reason have a hard time living under one roof. While attending one christian-elite university I was "saved" by Philosophy and World Religion courses (and reading Emerson and Whitman!). Some who are homeschooled don't get far in the intellectual environment of any college. Did Patrick Henry say, Give me Faith or give me death? Freethinking just doesn't go with Faith.
