Liberty was founded by the late Jerry Falwell, a Southern Baptist minister often known for homophobia, bigotry, and the Moral Majority. My New York friends know that Falwell's the guy who blamed 9/11 on the gays. He said something about pointing his finger in their—our—faces and saying, "You! You helped this happen!"
No, I can see where it doesn't bash at all :
The irony, though, was that the congregation was incredibly legalistic and nitpicky. If you smoked, you were going to hell. If you drank alcohol, you were going to hell. If you listened to secular music...well you weren't necessarily going to hell, but you were backslidden
Over the past 20 years, I have been in attendance in hundreds of fundamental churches. The Peach State Quartet and Pioneers literally sang in these churches and heard the preaching. These were conservative churches simply by virtue of their selection of music.
I've heard the above same statement made by people who never attended a fundamental service in their life, or if they had, took what the preacher was saying about sin totally out of context. I'm not suggesting such a thing has never been said, but it is a message taught by very few. The minority.
And of course he is writing one side of the story. I'm sure none of it is embellished in any way :'( It is the story of a disgruntled individual, pushing an agenda.
I wonder if this person really was a student or the creation of the writer: (Brandon Ambrosino is a writer and actor based in Baltimore. His has written for Huffington Post and Relevant magazine.)
