THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: Okay, so here's a promo trailer for a book about a New England liberal college student who enrolls in Liberty University, a hard-core Evangelical college founded by the Reverend Jerry Falwell. The purpose of this experiment was to document the hatred and intolerance he found there. Instead what he found was not so hateful nor intolerant at all. People were nice to him. He discovered a different kind of diversity, with a wholesome quality, and he started to like it. In fact, his book turned out to be a dissertation on why Evangelicals aren't so bad, and how the secular world can relate to them in a meaningful and productive manner. His book was immediately received with hatred, intolerance and scorn -- not by Evangelicals, but by the very liberal audience whom the book was written for. Oh, the irony!
