However, Duke and USC renounced affiliation with the church long ago and I don't believe were ever actually "controlled" by the UMC, as has been SMU, especially not USC. Correct but once again they also pump out a lot of Methodist ministers. One of my favorite theologians Will Willimon was a professor and dean at Duke University. The UMC unlike other religious organizations doesn't manhandle universities like institutions named Baylor.

We actually have a fucking beautiful chapel and church and a great library that's awesome to study at. That's called being inclusive and having principles. It's an institution founded on principles and we uphold that. Send your kid to SMU they're just as likely to come back Jewish as they are to adopt some lunatic Christian philosophy. The undergrad curriculum and experience is not religious at all. You got a little silly being defensive that SMU isn’t religious. It’s a private school with a theology component. It’s not BYU, Notre Dame or Liberty level, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of to say it has historically been backed by a church.

You should probably just post on the SMU forums if one exists, you fucking coat-tail rider.

December 8, 20241 yr Are you a Methodist? If you are then you would understand.I’m a Methodist and have been all my life. I got married in Perkins Chapel over 30 years ago. My church remains UMC. I have no clue what your point is here.

I’m not shitting on that at all. It’s just what it is.
December 8, 20241 yr Hailing from North Dallas, I agree that SMU is not really a religious school, It's more a drunken rich frat boy school that used to have some really obnoxious fans especially during the Mustang Mania days, IMHO, they live in a bubble over in the Park Cities. It was really unbearable during the Mustang Mania days when they were obviously cheating and the local press did not seem to care. With that said, I have to give the Mustangs their due tonight. They fought hard all night against a very bad start. Yes, they should be a playoff team.

When I was there, you were required to take one class on religion as part of the common core. I took Intro to the New Testament and figured it would be easy as hell given all the church I had been forced to attend growing up. I failed the first test and worked my ass off to pull a C IIRC. It was basically a history class disguised as a religion class.
