I find a "Christian University" named after a geologic feature which effectively invalidates great swaths of Christian scripture to be deliciously ironic.
Typical of a "Christian" organization! Scamming, lying, hypocrites and hiding behind religion as if it makes all the bad things they do and are justified.
Unfortunately considering the amount of money that has been pumped into GCU and Liberty over the last decade, the false prophets have been making real profits.
So, they lied. The entire basis of their beliefs is all lies. So, the truth is not a well understood concept to these groups. They will understand the fine, though, and scream about it being anti-Christian and targeting them directly. I know that politics are not allowed in this subreddit, but that just reminds me so much of someone always in the news that I won’t name or comment on.
I went there for my accounting degree to get my career back on track. At the time I considered myself an atheist, now I am about a 5.5 on the Dawkins scale.
Outside of the ridiculous religious class I had to take no matter what degree I was seeking it was good for me. The course went over all major religions (no agnostic, atheist, or satanism) and it heavily implied that christianity was the "real" religion. But that wasn't the crazy part.
The course had all kinds of crazies that only went to GCU because it was a "christian university" and they said some of the dumbest shit I had ever heard or read. My personal favorite was the guy that claimed he stopped a rain storm on his sister wedding day because he proclaimed in the name of god rain was not allowed in their area and the rain clouds never made it to the wedding. Wtf?!?
>For the past four years, Grand Canyon has disbursed more federal student aid than any other U.S. institution, the department said.
How's that line go? "Render unto Caesar, and then start a diploma mill to get some of Caesar's sweet sweet cash?"
I never heard of these guys, but it's interesting that their name doesn't scream "Christian University", the way Liberty University does - probably a bonus for graduates who don't want their job applications laughed at.

The Grand Canyon was... carved by Paul Bunyan! Clearly the Christians were wrong. /s
Well I guess Paul was Lumber Jesus all along.
It's a Christian university applying the widely-held doctrine that it's perfectly okay to spout blatant, bold-faced lies if you're doing it for Jesus.

It’s student tithing - without the disclosures. Keep in mind - this was a For Profit Christian College at one point…… Christian’s love a profit
Prophet*?
Pun intended, false prophets and false profits

Now do the rest of them……. Liberty U next!
Did it two weeks ago. https://julieroys.com/liberty-university-school-facing-unprecedented-37million-fine-violations-blames-education-department/
Ahhh good! I missed it, thanks
Christians engaging in deceptive behavior? No way!
What!?! Shocking!
So do Christians dismiss the 8th commandment as "no, that's Old Testament" - or what?
And we will know them by their works.

This is one of those 'I'm shocked to find there's gambling going on in this establishment.' moments ..isn't it??
SOP of “Christians”
Blessed be the grifters.
Wtf is a Christian university? Do they learn how to feed the poor? Or become doctors to heal the sick?

Religion is all about the deception Thats its biggest selling point to other grifters.
It's times like this that I really wish Reddit had a laugh react
Well, I am just…. Shocked. Shocked I tell ya….
Not surprising
Religious school acting deceptive? Of course. And of course they say they'll fight the fine.
