[Why you Should Go To PCC]

Why is choosing a college perhaps the second most important decision you will ever make? Because students most often choose their vocation and their mate at college.
Unfortunately, Satan doesn’t want you to choose a Christian college. He wants to control your future. He often convinces young people to believe the following myths about Christian colleges.

“The community college or state university is an acceptable alternative.”

The outstanding difference between secular institutions and Bible-believing Christian colleges is their philosophy. Secular schools are dominated by secular humanism, which denies the Creator, worships the creation, and considers man only a higher form of evolutionary animal life. Faculty, academics, and campus life are all influenced by this philosophy. No matter how well educated the professor or how well established the school’s reputation, the dangers of humanistic philosophy are very real.

Do you as a Christian young person have a choice?

The answer from a Christian perspective is a resounding no! The secular college is not an acceptable alternative!

Well let's see, I went to one of the most secular universities there is, UC Berkeley.

I spent four years there and I can tell you this:

1) The school offers a wide variety of classes in religion, especially Judeo-Christian studies, and has partnerships with the local seminary schools located right outside the campus. First point - defeated.

2) Not a single class I took had anything to do with "worshipping the creation." No class involved any kind of worship, for one. Second, no one assumed "creation" in the first place. Second point - defeated.

3) I took a class in physical anthropology as an elective. Not once did anyone declare that humans are "only a higher form of evolutionary animal life." Animal life, yes, and that is a scientific fact. Evolved, yes. Higher, no. Third point - total nonsense.

“The christian biased college or university is an acceptable alternative.”

The outstanding difference between secular institutions and Bible-believing Christian colleges is their philosophy. Bible based schools are dominated by biblical belief, and deny any facts that contradict it, worship the bible, and considers man's only calling to be a mindless slave to a deity, any free-thinking outside these bounds is wrong. Faculty, academics, and campus life are all influenced by this philosophy. No matter how well educated the professor or how well established the school’s reputation, the dangers of bible infalliblity philosophy are very real.

FIXED! ;)

As most people in the US of A are Christians, most school authority are probably Christian as well. But in most schools they are focusing on worldly topics, like foreign affairs, economics, medicine, law, transports, construction and so on. Only focusing on religion makes you fitted to a life in the clergy or a monastery, but not much else. It is limiting and inhibiting.
Humanistic philosophy means caring for other people, respecting them for who they are, not worshipping them. It's to better oneself, to make yourself a more informed, more productive memeber of society, and to help others with this task. I can see nothing wrong in this, but maybe I am biased, as a daughter of two university teachers.

I doubt even the most fundamentalist Christians would think the rules at PCC are reasonable. They criticized Bob Jones University of all places for being too liberal. Females cannot leave campus without a chaperon, even the most casual touching between males and females, such as a hug or a high five, is grounds for immediate expulsion, and students are frequently punished by not being allowed to speak to anyone else.

The reason people stay after going here is that since the school is not accredited they can't transfer their credits elsewhere. Pensacola definitely plays down the fact that it is unaccredited. But it's true, and it makes their degrees about as useful as toilet paper.

I go to the type of school where you could get sent back a year for failing Bible and also could technically be kicked out for not attending church regularly (I mean, if anybody bothered enforcing that rule. Probably too in need of funding for that, though.). It's in SC, so there's a really big push for alumni to attend either PCC of BJU.

I remember this one time I heard one of my classmates talking about her college plans; she said, in full seriousness, that she wouldn't attend PCC on the grounds of it not being Christian enough. Something about its rules being too lax or it being too liberal or something. Honestly makes me downright concerned for the girl.
