I just want to clarify that my point was that when the University Book
store sells material that many people would see as objectionable and
even morally apprehensible namely material that exploits women and
perhaps even other such created things, then that means that the
University is making the declaration that even things that are seen as
the most morally apprehensible things have a place in the University.
The point in this is that when Jesus Christ is seen by atheists and
other such people as being a morally objectionable thing even more so
than the exploitation of women, then we can point out the things that
we see as morally objectionable and show their existence in the
university as well (this gives us the rights under man’s law to
evangelize without legal consequence as well as to show our rights to
inhabit the university along with all the other things that are seen
as morally objectionable). Unfortunately the private sector and lower
levels of education are very different because in the private sector
and in the lower levels of education anything that is morally
apprehensible to anyone is thrown out (this especially includes Jesus
Christ), and then the only thing that get promoted is "what we know"
so to speak according to the minds of the fallen world or "what we are
supposed to do" according to the minds of the fallen world. Overall,
the point is that because the fallen world does not "know Christ" so
to speak and because the fallen world as a result do not know what we
are supposed to do thus Christ gets rejected from the private sector
and from lower levels of education in the United States (this ‘causes
the enslavement to sin’ of Adam (not Adam Colbert) like what I have
been talking about).
We however know that our freedom does not depend on any man because
Christ is the King over all the universe, and when the war between the
devil and his angles and God and his angels occurs then their will be
a furnace prepared for the unbeliever to go into and be no more.
Hear is some biblical context for what I have said, "Then the LORD
said: "I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will
do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The
people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the
LORD, will do for you. Obey what I command you today. I will drive
out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites
and Jebusites. Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in
the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you.
Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their
Asherah poles. Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name
is Jealous, is a jealous God. "Be careful not to make a treaty with
those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to
their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will
eat their sacrifices. And when you choose some of their daughters as
wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their
gods, they will lead your sons to do the same." Exodus 34:10-16 (NIV)

I just want to mention that the woman whom was found in the act of
adultery that was brought before Jesus for a verdict was doing the
very thing that the nations did that had been driven out that God gave
the land of Israel to. According to the law of Moses evil was to be
purged from the land, and we are not to pervert justice. Neither the
law nor Christ was wrong in what they did and both are in agreement.
Christ did not make a treaty with those whom God was purging from the
land, but instead Christ said, "he who is without sin may cast the
first stone" then the accusers left and he told the woman to depart
from her life of sin. The point is that we should not make a treaty
with the unbeliever or with those whom God is driving out, but instead
like Daniel we should attempt to refrain from those things that defile
us, we should bless the earthly powers by saying "may you live
forever", and we should purge the sin from the land and destroy the
idols that men trust in by just simply showing our God to the world
through the gospel (birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ).
