It gets better. Liberty University released a scheduled tweet asking students which courses they were looking forward to in the fall semester. > **[Nonreligious Questions](https://www.patheos.com/nonreligious-questions/)** > > Whether you’ve been turned off by religion in the past or have a question about one of the world’s religions, check out what Patheos has to offer. As the [Patheos.com](http://Patheos.com) article notes, the responses are brilliant. ---

You mean Liberty U. was too stupid to ask that question in a manner restricted to the students? Wow. ---

Yeah. I would think any university would have some sort of internal messaging set up that’s not accessible to the general public. ---

Unfortunately, it looks like that tweet’s been taken down. I saw it last night while it was still up, and the responses were glorious. ---

Note to Falwell: I’m not sure that sexual arousal counts as an emotional toll. ---

> [@ataraxy22](#): > > True story, I used to be Jimmy Swaggart’s pool boy, sort of. His maintenance man would regularly bring a sample of water in from his home pool to the swimming pool supply store where I worked part-time as a teenager, and I would test run several tests of the water quality. So rather than paying for a regular pool-testing service, thid grifter would bring samples in, and have you run the free sample tests for him. Just what I’d expect from such an evangelist! ---
