All students must sign a "Statement of Faith" before they arrive, affirming belief in what the college considers core Christian doctrines. For example, students are asked to acknowledge "Satan exists as a personal, malevolent being who acts as tempter and accuser, for whom Hell, the place of eternal punishment, was prepared, where all who die outside of Christ shall be confined in conscious torment for eternity", and "Christ's death provides substitutionary atonement for our sins."[23] The college professes non-denominational Christian beliefs.Teaching faculty must also sign the "Statement of Faith", plus a more detailed "Statement of Biblical Worldview", which represents the College's requirements for what should be taught.[24] For example the Biblical Worldview Applications states that, "Any biology, Bible, or other courses at PHC dealing with creation will teach creation from the understanding of Scripture that God's creative work, as described in Genesis 1:1-31, was completed in six twenty-four hour days."[25] New Scientist has claimed that Patrick Henry College and the homeschooling community in general were "possibly threatening the public school system that has fought hard against imposing a Christian viewpoint on science teaching."[6]In an interview with Fresh Air on National Public Radio, PHC founder Michael Farris commented that the college held the view that its faith was the only true faith ("We believe that there is truth and there is error."), and he expressed disapproval of religious and social toleration. "Tolerance cannot coexist with liberty" because "the crowd of tolerance wants to ban speech."[26]

Miss Arkansas Alyse Eady - I wanna be a cowboy sweetheartI rest my case.
Sadly for Miss Arkansas, it just occurred to me that out of all possible compliments than can ever be given- "you're one hell of a ventriloquist" might be the least complimentary. It comes in somewhere under "you're one hell of a pet waste removal specialist".
Is this really relevant to people anymore? I'm willing to imagine it was once, back in a time when there wasn't much entertaining stuff going on purpose for women's existence beyond presenting themselves as fantasy objects for male consumption, but... what's the point?
