I took some time away from campus. Now during my time away I was hearing things every once in a while

things that were related to the changing of the campus.

This is a very important one, one that made me think about whether I really wanted to go back.

Danny Aiken, who is the president currently and was the president then, made a video in 2015

for openly secular.

And in this video he talked about having a common cause, a common love, and a common belief

with secularists, an atheistic organization that put this out. And he talks about

their common cause. He said, I'm the president of a Southern Baptist. In fact, you

know what I'll do? I'll put the link to this video in the

description so you can see it. But he basically said that we have common cause

with secularists because we care about poverty and environmentalism and we can join hands on this.

And then we have a common love because we can work together with love and respect not only as friends, this is a direct quote, but as good friends.

He's saying this to an atheist organization. And then they have a common

belief. He says, no one should be coerced. No one should have, everyone should have the freedom

to express their belief. No one should be put down because of what

they believed. It's interesting with what's going on at Southeastern Now with people being targeted for what they believe in a sense that these

statements were made but joining hands with a secular organization like this for the purpose of secularism.

I mean the video is called openly secular was really concerning to me.

I thought what in the world is going on down there now at the time I didn't really

have much of a choice but to go back to southeastern I had transferred credits from

other places and I needed to finish off and and so I didn't have the option of really not continuing there

But that bothered me and I was wondering about the direction of the school
