I mean this with all due respect, but if you believe that the Bible (or any other religious text) has all the answers you'll need and that nothing you'll learn at a university can change that, then you should not be going to a university.
It's a waste of your time and it's a waste of theirs.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

‘Denim’ gets its name from the French words ‘de Nĭmes’ meaning "of Nĭmes," because it was manufactured in the city of Nĭmes.
‘Jeans’ comes from the city of Genoa (earlier known as Genes) because the pants were worn by the Genoese navy.
'JNCO' means “Judge None Choose One."
