The majority of people reading this website are gonna have a fundamental ignorance when it comes to places like Liberty. The southern baptist religion is completely obsessed with sex. It truly is creepy how it permeates their every thought. The entire religion is basically founded around it. They are taught that their natural desires are evil and that their only hope of salvation from eternal Hell is through Jesus Christ. As normal human beings typically experience all sorts of different sexual thoughts daily, this presents an enormous internal conflict for these people because of these intrusive sinful thoughts that they just want to go away. As a result, institutions like Liberty emerge because parents, not only concerned that they are going to hell because they had a thought about having sex with someone other than their wife or of the same sex, are even more obsessed about their children behaving sexually and going to hell. I once went to a wedding where a friend of mine, a conservative baptist, was marrying a ultra-conservative baptist girl. We stayed in her parents house that night. It was beyond creepy. The daughter's room I stayed in had a framed "virginity pledge" on the wall signed by her, her dad, and her pastor. The brother in this family, about 19 years old, would randomly burst out into prayer because of thoughts he was having, and told my friend how lucky he was that he was getting married because he couldn't take it (not being able to have sex) anymore and that he was going to get married asap. The kid literally was fidgeting all over the place and looked like he was going to explode. So places like Liberty are where these people send their kids to make sure they don't have sex. The school has all sorts of activities and extensive facilities designed to keep the minds of young people occupied on things other than sex and therefore as far removed from secular culture as possible. Because parents are so obsessed with this concept of keeping their children from experiencing any form of sex or even sexual education before their honeymoon, places like these are big money. You have no idea how much money this place brings in. It's a rather genius business plan. They could probably build 10 medical schools in cash if they wanted.
I personally think it's hilariously ironic that a group that is so uptight about sex that they let it literally control their lives, not by having it, but by trying to avoid it and not get in trouble for it. Of course, the psychological damage that this kind of repression does to one's mind leads them to condemn and try to legally outlaw people who live normally. They are subconsciously furious that other people can get away with what they have to suffer to repress and try to do everything they can to make others suffer as well (legally banning gay marriage, shunning single mothers) or punish them for what they have done (outlawing abortion, expelling students from their schools for sexual conduct, condemning fornicators and homosexuals to hell, etc). The hilarity is that outside of the group of strict by-the-book homeschooled students, the other kids have sex and drink just like other college students, but they don't allow cameras in their parties for obvious reasons.
