This guy should not be teaching any religion classes. He is basically an atheist. That's how he teaches the class anyway. I do not understand why they replaced the Religious Studies professor at NSU (who was a pastor and retired) with an atheist. He is a very common person and gets along well with students. Do not take him if you're a Christian.

But if a Christian professor taught comparative religion, and Christianity came out to look like overwhelmingly the best option, that would be okay, right?
Explain to me again who respects free inquiry and who wants campuses to be politically correct indoctrination centers.
Also, what HoJuSimpson said.
"Do not take him if you're a Christian"? Doesn't that sound very sexual? Shouldn't it be something like "Don't take his class" not "Don't take him"?
Anyway, I agree with all the people who say that atheists are more likely to teach a good class in comparative religion. More people should take that kind of class too... It seems like most fundamentalists aren't even very well aware that there ARE any other religions. It would do them some good to put their religion in some perspective.
So, since he isn't a christian, he couldn't possibly understand christianity. Yet christians believe they can fully understand (and put down) everyone else's religion. Fuck off, bitch.
This reminds me of a class on comparative religion I almost took while deployed (I'm in the Navy). The teacher was the ship's Chaplain, and on the first day (not even halfway through the class, in fact), the text book started talking about the evolution of religious ideas. He started ranting about how evolution is just a theory and there's no evidence for it.
I walked out.

Philbert McAdamia, you, sir, are made of awesome and win.

Or if you want a degree that means something...
BIOLOGY BURN!
I knwo of a Christian religious studies teacher. I'm told he's very close-minded and disissive of the beliefs of his students. My teachers are, as far as I can tell, both agnostic (one definitely is), and both are quite willing to listen to any opinion.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
