<p><strong>EP.609</strong></p><p><strong>Dr. Owen Anderson, a professor of philosophy and religious studies, joins the podcast to discuss why Christians should be prepared to "fight," which he clarifies encompasses both physical self-defense and the ability to defend their beliefs through rational debate. He contends that a decline in Christian willingness to engage in intellectual arguments has contributed to the dominance of left-leaning ideologies in universities, which he attributes to Marxist influence. Anderson shares details about his lawsuit against Arizona State University, arguing that its mandatory "inclusive communities" training promotes a divisive, anti-"whiteness" agenda. He emphasizes the importance of limited government, free speech, and the ability for individuals to form their own beliefs. The conversation touches on political polarization, racial essentialism, and the perception of Christians and conservatives on college campuses, exploring the tension between promoting inclusivity and respecting diverse viewpoints. Anderson maintains that he treats all students fairly, regardless of their background, and strives to create a learning environment where they can grapple with challenging philosophical questions.</strong></p>
