PRINCETON, NJ — In a historic win for diversity, equity, and inclusion, Princeton University's religion department has just hired a professor who believes in God.

According to departmental sources, the decision represents a groundbreaking first for higher education across the nation, as nearly all major university religion departments have been staffed solely by atheists for the last century at least.

"We recognize that religion professors who believe in Christianity — or who are even theists — are majorly underrepresented in today's universities and colleges," said AnneMarie Luijendijk, William H. Danforth Professor of Religion and Head of New College West at Princeton. "We at Princeton are incredibly thrilled to be able to speak truth to power and share this moment as our new professor joins us. We promise to do our best to keep his voice from being marginalized and we look forward to supporting our underrepresented minority in his scholarship."

While the new professor, Dr. Mark Mattheson, has run into significant pushback from the student-led group "Atheists For Religion," most Princeton religion majors look forward to taking religion classes with a man who actually believes in God.

At publishing time, Princeton had scored another win for DEI by hiring an actual English professor into their English department.

It can't be easy to find a highly educated person that believes in such nonsense.

You found one guy, from how many years ago?

Kinda makes the point...

 

[Donald H]

They all need to at least pretend to believe in the god, but they don't need to actively push their beliefs onto others. In fact, it's demanded of them that they don't, at least to reasonable limits.

Any atheist can fulfill the requirements imposed by Christians as long as they're not forced to proclaim the X belief system.

Most societies have advanced to that point at least. Only harmless questions can be forced upon atheists to answer!

Christianity is continuously involved in attempting to strip that right away from atheists. New laws are needed to protect atheists from Christians attempting to force their beliefs on others!

When Conservatives try to be funny and why it fails?

The Babylon Bee is a conservative Christian news satire website that publishes satirical articles on topics including religion, politics, current events, and public figures. It has been referred to as a Christian or conservative version of The Onion.

Fails because it's coming from the wrong angle. The Onion satirized and poked fun at Bill Clinton, Joe Biden liberal sacred cows as well as at the right et al.

Like Dennis Miller who became a Yuge failure after turning into a partisan nitwit (yes many progressive attempts at comedy fall there too), the Bee is a failure. It speaks to the choir (pun intended).

Glad to see an education was never wasted on you.

There were just too damn many to list, so I stuck with the ones currently living.

How many on that list? How many of them working today? How many universities in this country?

Thanks again for making my points for me. I always appreciate a good assistant.

Maybe if you had gone to college yourself, you would have realized i didn't claim none existed.

A point worth considering: The Babylon Bee is no more satire than any religion or superstitious belief system.

That can be stated as fact, just as honestly as Christians stating otherwise. Therefore, I would contend that it's not appropriate for a moderator to move a thread out of the religion section, based only on his/her beliefs.

That amounts to Christianity imposing their beliefs on others. That's a complaint! A valid complaint?

Will they then force all of the writers on Babylon Bee to die on a cross like Christ and his followers?

Fake news is such a threat, isn't it, especially when about half their made up stories come true.

 

[Kilroy2]

So we are to believe that no current or previous college professor at this college believes in God?

Did anyone ask

Generally employers are prohibited to ask about religion

If they don't want laughed at and fired they will keep their mouth shut

It is comparable to the former USSR. but there if you say you believed in God they would kill you.

Kinda makes the point...
