"The prevailing orthodoxy at the elite law schools is an extreme rationalism that draws a strong distinction between faith and reason," said Bruce W. Green, Liberty's dean.

After all, they're just LAWYERS. They don't need silly things like reason.

Nothing like reviving the good old days of Salem trial process.

ACTIVIST JUDGES vs. FALWELL LAWYERS
15 ROUNDS AT CAESAR'S PALACE

 

[Chesapeake Silt]

No socratic method because socrates was a pagan.

 

[boredJonathan]

Well now what am I gonna do with all my 'Lawyer in Hell' jokes?

Oh..

No they'll still work.

Probably better too!

 

[Socreges]

No socratic method because socrates was a pagan.

Socrates was religious, actually. Just in an unorthodox way.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Socrates was religious, actually. Just in an unorthodox way.

In the mind of Jerry Falwell, unorthodox is a big word for faggot pagan.

 

[Hitokage]

Socrates was in no way christian, and if you're not judeochristian you're "pagan". Rather simple.

Don't think for a moment Falwell cares about religious freedom or religions in general. All he cares about is advancing his own.

 

[Socreges]

Socrates was in no way christian, and if you're not christian you're "pagan". Rather cut and dry.

Considering Socrates came before Christianity, I figured he was saying that he was non-religious, which is another interpretation of pagan.

1. One who is not a Christian, Muslim, or Jew, especially a worshiper of a polytheistic religion.
2. One who has no religion

The first definition covers the second, and this IS ancient greece we're talking about.

 

[Socreges]

Covers the second?

At any rate, I only meant to address a common misconception.

 

[Hitokage]

If you have no religion then you aren't a Christian, Muslim, or Jew.

And what misconception? Socretes was a pagan.

 

[Socreges]

If you have no religion then you aren't a Christian, Muslim, or Jew.

Alright, I see. Having 'a religion' follows subscription. I was thinking of:

1. Having or showing belief in and reverence for God or a deity.
2. Of, concerned with, or teaching religion: a religious text.

And what misconception? Socretes was a pagan.

That he isn't religious. That he doesn't believe in a God.

 

[Mike Works]

God was a pagan. Granted this was before Christmas was celebrated. By Jews.

 

[CajoleJuice]

God was a pagan. Granted this was before Christmas was celebrated. By Jews.
