There's something to be said for being polite and being a rude. There's also something be learned that want someone to address you in a specific way doesn't make when others choose not to do it. I think Westley Snipes character said it best with, "that's who you remind me of an evil Mr Rogers" and "look, you can't take away people's right to be an assholes" I think this professor is absolutely rude and is hiding behind his Christianity and using it as an excuse to offend people but free societies have lots of offensive people and "toughen up buttercup" is something people need to learn. I do think instead of people expecting the world to conform to them they should do a little bit of their own self-reflection and say they will accept that others are offensive and as long as that offensiveness does not deprive them of their education, in this case, or their participation in society then practice some of the acceptance and tolerance that they want people to have of them. The smart student would simply begin to address the professor in a way that they consider offensive. Then when the professor attempts to discipline or correct them because of it they simply appeal indicating that as long as the professor will address them in a way that they perceive offensive they will address the professor in a way that the professor perceives offensive. Equality is equal for all. Then if the professor wishes to foster a rude classroom then a rudeness is the speech of the day.
