Assuming the court sides with the Xtians on school prayer: As the country gets browner, we will start seeing Muslim and Hindu teachers and coaches. I can't wait for Xtian heads to start 'asploding once the followers of the gods Allah and Kali start to assert their First Amendment rights to virtue signal and proselytize on the clock at public school events alongside the Evangelicals..
"By granting review in this case, the Supreme Court is threatening to upend decades of strong separation of state and church precedent in our public schools,”
Which is exactly what they want to do. In spite of all their weasel words and promises before they were confirmed.
"O Lord our God, we humbly beseech you to ignore all the pain and suffering in the world and give us the might to inflict pain and suffering on our adversaries on the football field. We ask in the name of your son Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen."
People in positions of power at public schools should not be able to use those positions to promote their religious faith. If you're a Christian and you don't have problem with this, try imagining that the coach was a Hindu or a Muslim, or a Satanist, or any religion besides yours.
This should have been over when the SCOTUS denied him the first time, even if they indicated they were sympathetic. I thought that’s the end of the line.
This is why the Supreme Court has got to be extended. It shouldn't be just 9 anymore. It should be much more than that to balance the number of Justices that are out there.
Who falls asleep in Democracy, wakes up in Tyranny! If Liberal America don't get their shit together and punches back, one not so far day it will wake up and find itself in an openly Fascist regime.
My students and I were having a discussion about things inside the solar system (such as the Sun, planets, moons) vs. things outside the solar system (black holes, stars, nebulae). One student said, "God." I told them, in no uncertain terms, that science class is NOT the place to talk about religion. I actually asked him, "Which god?" I have a Muslim student in that class and she smiled. I told them they'll have to take a comparative religions class in college. I also told them I was pretty sure their parents didn't want ME talking to them about religion. ;)
Well thank goodness we have such brave people standing up for public prayer, or footballs across the country might be insufficiently blessed before they're kicked around! The spittle might affect their aerodynamics, or something.
If I were an omniscient, omnipotent creator-god, and my creations kept bugging me with prayers for trivial little bullshit like the outcomes of football games- with both teams asking for the same assistance, no less!- I think I'd be investing in a good set of noise-cancelling headphones.
Evangelical Chris-chins entitlement is Play to Play...while Catholics' m.o. is Prey to Play (i.e., priests on alter-boys). Which one would Jesus do? The answer is: he goes both ways.
I've said it before and it continues to be true:
Christians are like date rapists. They simply refuse to take NO! for an answer.

Christ wasn't happy about prayers in public but it's another one of those things ignored by Christian Nationalists.

Why is it that there are so many Christians who are just like him, and ignore what Jesus had to say about turning prayer into a public spectacle?

I keep this link handy for times like this. Yes, it’s from the World Net Daily. The mystery to me is why they published it.

Is there any word about when this goes to the new site? We are no longer in early January.
