That Offended Me

So tonight I saw a classmate's post on Facebook that was poking fun of people who believe in creationism over evolution. Normally I just ignore these posts and don't look at them with a second thought or let them bother me but tonight it made me think of a few times that I have been offended due to my faith while in college. Now I'm not overly uptight or easily offended, I like all forms of humor and I poke fun at myself often. There are however, things that make me uncomfortable. I once had a professor, don't get me wrong he was a great professor, but he was very clearly anti-christian. When I say anti-christian I am not just talking about him being an atheist I'm talking about how he discussed Christianity.
When he was in class and he would talk about the subject of Christianity he often made subtle jokes about how ridiculous it was to believe in something like that and how obvious it was that Christians must be wrong because of all of the scientific evidence around them. This bothered me for several reasons. The main problem was that he was generalizing the way Christians act and think and the other major issue was that he was pushing his personal beliefs and mocking the beliefs of others openly in a learning environment. As a Christian I do believe in creation. This doesn't mean that I don't believe in science or evolution. I believe that God created everything and due to that he could use science and evolution to make the world work and change. I don't look at blatant evidence of something and say "this is wrong because it isn't in the bible." There's a lot of modern things, theories and facts that aren't in the bible but I know that it said God created everything so therefore I believe he made science and evolution. It really offended me that this professor said Christians were idiots for not believing in it, and I openly let him know what I thought.
Another problem was that I felt extremely uncomfortable in his class because he mocked my faith on a weekly basis, not directly or to me personally but in the comments he made during the lecture. This is a huge problem for students of any faith in any college setting today. Many professors and college students openly condemn faith based thinking because they think that science and the world has given them all of the answers and that people of any faith are idiots for believing in a higher power. I have heard many derogatory and hurtful remarks come from those who don't share my faith but it has become much worse since I've been in college. My theory on this is that people become college students or professors and start assuming that they have all of the answers and if you don't agree with them than you are wrong.
 I would like to see this change. It made it so much harder for me to sit and learn in a class where my faith was mocked. On top of that, personal religious leanings are supposed to be kept out of the classroom, that includes not making fun of any religion openly in your class. My message to professors and students alike that think like this professor is a simple one: Not all Christians are stupid. Not all Christians are bigots who persecute non-Christians. Not all Christians try to shove their views into your classrooms. Stop generalizing and accusing Christians every time a small minority of them does something to aggravate you. We aren't all the same, just like any other group. Also, stop to think about the jokes you are making about other people's faith, especially when someone that practices it may be in your classroom trying to learn comfortably. I'm not trying to have anything forced into your curriculum or dissing your belief system, so I suggest you show me the same courtesy.
