@musicmanjams1 Why is it ridiculous? It's all about separation of Church and State (School, in this case) Or is It okay as long as it's your religion that's being forced upon others' throats? Why don't they have Koranic scriptures in American schools whose populace is made up of mostly Muslim children? Or have a big Koran in front of a Court House (if the judge so happens to be a Muslim) or teach Muslim-Creationism in schools?
Excluded are you kidding me. Christians are the most excluded people. We can't do stuff in public without being persecuted on it. Athiest have more rights than Christians have. You guts are always trying to start stuff. Who gives a shit if you " feel " excluded. You guys just want to start stuff.
@MsJokert6 Christians are the most excluded people? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you don't live in the United States. To even be nominated for any office you have to swear fealty to our lord and savior...We (Atheists) are constantly bombarded by religious adverts all over the place (mostly Christian since they make up the majority of this great, Secular nation but others as well) Freedom of Religion also means Freedom "From" Religion. We are American citizens as well.
@kaoken1981 my point is quit complaing about evey little thing. you guys act like your so offended by stuff. This was something small that she made a big deal over and caused trouble that just wasnt needed. I'm mean seriously get over stuff. If it's not killing you then get over it. and this goes for everything. She just wanted to start stuff. We have the freedom to express our religion you guys are just going to have to get over it.
Stop complaining... I'm an atheist in South Africa, I cant do jack because all of my family, friends, people I know are christians. My school has mandatory pray and bible sessions each day. And each day It feels like solitude. I've gotten more insults against my believe than Jessica ever will, but you don't see me bitching over a little banner. So before you get offended again over a banner, think about others that don't have the freedom you have in the USA who aren't complaining about it
@Acidsubzero180 We have a Constitution to uphold. If we let the little things slide, then Christians will take advantage of that and start introducing more random religious shit. Just listen to them talk--they always say that crime, sex, and drug use has gone up since public prayer was taken out of schools. You're telling me that they're not going to try to reinstate that?
@Acidsubzero180 Social change is also on different levels for every country. Just because your country has tons of a lot more social injustice doesn't mean we shouldn't be worried about our own.
CONGRESS shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion". It is also stated in the 10th Amendment that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
States are individually permitted to establish a religion. The FEDERAL government is not. People who think she understands the constitution do not have the slightest comprehension of it themselves. Neither does this girl.
Even if we did not have the Constitution, it would still be logical and better for public schools to be indifferent and have no sign of religion. Either that or the government have to hang a religious banner representing about 2000 religions, otherwise it is not equal and fair towards all the people.
@alo754 Logical and better in your view. What matters is what the Constitution says, not what you think is proper. And just because the school puts a banner respecting the Judeo-Christian interpretation of God up doesn't mean that STUDENTS can't do the same for the Muslim interpretation of God, Allah, or Buddha, or any other religious figure. At the core, this issue is outside of Constitutional doctrine and is a state-bound matter to be judged by state standards and laws therein. That's the deal
Tthis kid is being overzealous and is trying to get her name out there. The argument is dumb. You go to school to get an education, that's it. I went to catholic school because it was a good school, not because I was catholic. Do you see the point? If she doesn't like it she doesn't have to partake in it. What she should be fighting for is the right to do that. Just because you are a minority and feel excluded doesn't mean everybody else must change for you.
@bigbuzin555 How on earth is the argument dumb? What the school was doing was against the constitution. When called out on the fact, they refused to do anything about it.

This shows that the world has no culture any more, does that icon bodered this girl so much that she would want to take it down, you don't have to belive in god to be christian muslim or jewish etc, Dawkins " I am a cultural christian" if that christian sybmol bodered ,she should have put an hindu buddhist symbol aswell near it, if she wanted to show that her school is too christian too much attention for ppl who use atheism to rebel against society or their parents or just want attention.
@axvm2 Thats not the point. School is a government funded public place. Separation of church and state makes it pretty clear no religion should be forced down peoples throats. She doesn't care that it is christian specifically. Your example wouldn't make much sense in that case. She's not rebelling against society jeez, shes just changing that tiny little aspect of her school hallway. And I'd rather be a rebel than a mindless sheep any day
@MrMeYouAndNo1 I am secular, but I will never say that an icon of any kind any religion, would make me feel uncomfortable or a church mosque or temple etc, state and religion should be separated in some countries but america is still majority christian, and this have nothing to do with beliving in god or not, but culture, i guess that americans are sick of religion since america is one of nations in which many forms of extreme christianity still exists.
@itsazy I can not understand american system of education, but all this for an icon? I mean for gods sakes, sounds preatty much like wanting attention, this days atheism is a a way of teenagers to revolt against parents or society, I do not think that Dawkins would be bodered because of an icon.
@axvm2 What has this got to do with Dawkins? The idea of atheism isn't just to follow whatever Richard Dawkins thinks and does... It was unconstitutional, and the judge agreed.
@mandy26lez Many atheists celebrate at Christmastime. Perhaps you are not aware that before Christmas became a celebration of the birth of Jesus, it was a pagan festival that long predates the birth of Jesus. Although many atheists celebrate the holiday season and the end of the year by giving gifts to people and relaxing with family and friends, they don't mind still calling the event "Christmas." No big deal. It's nice to give gifts. It's nice to celebrate.
@mandy26lez Gift giving has nothing to do with Christmas and everything to do with a pagan festival. It's the result of a culture shift. Christians used to be banned from giving out gifts on christmas because it was seen as pagan and NOT christian. To change this pastors made up a bullshit justification so followers could partake in gift giving with their pagan counterparts who had converted to christianity. Religion will ALWAYS bend with society and that's why it's bullshit.
the "liberal knuckleheads" that you speak of have managed to beat Osama bin laden, end the war in Afghanistan, and have reduced the national debt by about 25% in this past year while Obama was in office. Want to know what your "Conservative Geniuses" are going to accomplish when they get elected this year? They're going to:
.Ruin our economy once more by starting pointless wars in the middle east,
The banner is being taken down in about 2 weeks from now. She was right, and everyone else was wrong. Including you. So stop acting so cocky. You just got owned by a 16 year old girl. What are you, 20? 25? She knows more about the constitution than you. So, I'm sorry. But you don't get the privilege of forcing your beliefs down others throats anymore. The information age of hysteria, has just brought down the axe on idiot America.
I bear witness that there is no god but my penis and all my past girlfriends have profited exceedingly in their pleasure and with god's pleasure and they have all testified that my penis is god from their own mouths by saying: "God! Oh my God! Oh my fukcin' God!" And I bear witness of the truth of my testimony.
Athiest, jewish, Catholic, etc. Everyone and everything in America can write and say what they want to. If she had any sense, she wouldn't waste money, only to get owned by the constitution in court
why the fuck do you even bother about that shit why would you give a shit watever ther fuck the school write on their walls i dont even give a shit about what anyone says this days so why would you its pointless
She couldn't just look at the banner and role her eyes like any other teenager no she has to go do a fucking law suit. lol teens today are the biggest ass hole ever. This little girl is gonna have a very tough life good luck sweetie.
@Fashion4life Right, Right you are and if she believes what she says she will be publicly canvasing to stop Muslim prayer in public schools this week. Wouldn't want to think she was just picking and choosing religions right?
@DustyMorals OF course not, but knowing that islam is the minority in that school, she probably doesnt care. But I believe that religion shouldnt be part of the school system at all, because like she said herself, then people ought to go to a religious school instead. peace&love
So the majority has to have their faith silenced because of a stupid, atheist girl? This is the new world of BArrack Hussein Obama and his liberal knuckle heads. Never seen this before in America-- before that Kenyan and his dumb progressives came to power.
@SeraphimSword Wrong! She got a $40k scholarship and she's become a hero for the secular movement. Sounds to me like she's enhanced her life not tainted it.
This is stupid! If you don't agree with the school and it's policies don't complain or sue, LEAVE! And the term separation of church and state is saying, you have freedom of religion NOT from religion. The government can't force a religion it protects it.
@sugarprincessof1997 Welcome to the new world of BArrack Hussein Obama. This never happened before he came to power. Since that idiot became president, you see more and more liberal judges across the U.S imposing their belives rather than following the constitution.
@Marc10205 You obviously have not a clue what the constitution is..the girl knows her rights and the government cannot endorse any specific religion in a public setting...besides not every tax payer believes in fairy tales like the school does..just a thought i might run by you =)
@killingwithasmile182 What a dumb comment. OMG. Please don't waste my time anymore and think again who doesn't know what's " the constitution ". lol Clearly, you didn't even go to college, must be just another young, naive liberal boy and totally clueless-- and dumb as hell. It's like that dumb judge in Texas who said that he would arrest any school employee who said " Merry Christmas" to their students. It ended up at the Supreme Court where it was overturned.
@killingwithasmile182 Listen, naive, clueless, illiterate boy who doesn't even " know what's the constitution". lol Come back to me after the supreme court overturns this ruling like has happened with some other dozen previous similar cases since Obamer became president. You clearly have no clue of " what's the constitituion, on what it is based and its precedents-- nor even at least read the newspaper. lol I would at least expect that from a liberal knuckle head. lol
Seriously? This is ridiculous. Who cares if the banner says "heavenly father" and "amen", it's just to make the quote sound more meaningful or have some character. I do not in anyway believe in a god, although I understand why people like the idea of a god. Personally I think people who truly do believe in a god are stupid and ignorant because it is so obviously false, but suing over a harmless quote is just plain retarded. Amen =]
@bp444701 Tebow needs to chuck a football at her head. (If he could complete a pass) I love you Tebow! JK no violence! (Atheists aren't built for actual conflict)
@FlintSparkedStudios Exactly. I don't know much about that topic, and I'm sure no one really knows, but since science seems suggest with the slightest shred of evidence(mathematical calculation) we live in an ever increasing multiverse, I will side with that theory until some definitive evidence is found, but I'm afraid I will not live to know the answer or if we will ever know in the future. What about you?
@PandaMagicFTW You should read....I was gonna think of one particular writer/ philosopher, but then I realized you could pretty much pick ANYONE who's ever written a sentence on the topic of justice or civic virtue. But maybe MLK could sum it up: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere..." What if the school had separate pencil sharpener for colored students. They're just pencil sharpeners, calm down!
@wutdaFU3K There's a difference in your example because your example discriminates against a group. Maybe it's just me but when I see phrases like that I don't think of them as being its literal meaning, thus separating religious from non religious, but rather being a figure of speech to add some flavor or characteristic to a passage. Same as saying "Oh my god!", there is no discrimination or any real meaning other than to add character to that exclamation.
@PandaMagicFTW No, "OMG" is semantic satiation. "Heavenly father" and "Amen" refer directly to the Judeo/Christian God. The banner's message is full of pride and symbolic of school spirit, but a major connotation is founded deep in religious faith, specifically Christianity. It doesn't have as much to do with discrimination as it does with ostracism. Sure this is a very small incident, but it's unconstitutional nevertheless.
@wutdaFU3K I believe you and many others are over thinking this a bit much. It's there just to make the passage sound "cool" and full of character, without any real christian meaning. I wouldn't be surprised if the one who wrote it didn't even believe in god. For example if it had written "our great nation" instead, wouldn't it be absurd if someone that had came from another country to study feel ostracized because it was not their nation as well. It's just a figure of speech nothing more.
@PandaMagicFTW There's nothing unconstitutional about "our great nation".... I'm sorry but can you just reflect back on how bad that example was without me having to explain it? A better example to illustrate your point would be like if the banner said "our soda-drinking nation". Some people may not drink soda, but tough for them cause the constitution doesn't have any provisions which protect its citizens' freedom of beverage. That would have been my response.
@PandaMagicFTW I'm saying that Jesus,Bugs Bunny,God and Unicorns are all make believe, and calling other people retarded just because they don't believe in them is pretty ironic...
@trespanther Fuck you,you idiot.She doesn't believe,many people don't believe.They have good reason not to.Leave your worthless messages about "the heavenly father" off of videos like this.If god really looked after people,the world wouldn't be what it is today.
Step one for the communist takeover of America. Congratulations Jessica. Perhaps you should put some energy into studyingthe historical account of the 3rd Reich. Once you take God out of our lawful system you bow down to the communist ploy to takeover everything that makes this country great.
@truthseeker439 The reich wasn't communist, nor atheistic. There goes your whole argument. Besides, all this god on money/money/pledge nonsense wasn't originally a part of our country. What makes this country great is freedom, which was there from the start - not christo-fascism, which has only become significant in the years after the red scare's McCarthy-ist brainwashing.
"make HER feel excluded at school"... oh well, never mind those who believe in things she doesn't...they don't count in the so-called FREE thinking world...
@trenchyninja Well what?! Guess you didn't grasp that I believe in a FREE thinking world...FREE wills and all that...i.e. I'm not about to go tearing down something just because I don't believe in it...I'm Christian, but I don't get all up myself like the radicals who want to wipe our beliefs off the face of the earth just because they don't believe in it...good old democracy...NOT!!
@feebeedee Have you ever heard of separation of church and state? Which allows prayer on your free time, but doesn't allow anything religious to be hanging anywhere in public schools, and many other things religions do. Besides all she did is take down a prayer banner, it's not like she was against the building of a mosque a few blocks away from ground zero, or was saying hateful things about religion.
@trenchyninja Sure have heard of separation of church and state...historically speaking, it is NOT utilised as originally intended in today's politically correct climate, where radical fundamentalist, "my way or the highway" personalities dictate to the rest of us that our "prayers" and "beliefs" are cramping their way of life. Politics aside...mosque or prayer banner...there is no difference. In a nutshell...anything Christian rubs her up the wrong way. Period!
@feebeedee Your allowed to pray and belief whatever you want to believe, in school. I think that it's ok for someone to pray in school, and believe what they want to believe, and even if I didn't think that you still can, they can't do anything about it. What do you mean by radical fundamentalist? You mean that she acts like all the people who "attacked" her by saying she should burn in hell? Btw, she says she has loved one who do believe.
@Niefkolubecky "What a little fuckin bitch!" (you sound like such loving person,god bless you) Last I checked the Christian cult believes all non Christians burn in hell,sorry but I find that offensive! If it is unacceptable for Hitler to burn Jews that it should be un acceptable for Jesus to burn Jews not to mention the only crime of just not being a Christians how loving is that
Warning! The 1947 Supreme Court edict that an impregnable wall should stand between Church and State was in part based on Jefferson's letters to the Danbury Baptists (who did not favor a federal religion). He pointed out that God's laws were 'Unalienable' but Government or man made laws were alienable and Men must not interfere with God's laws (a Lien is a fine against property)
Abandon God and hand all your lawmaking to Man or Government... I call that Secularism which is the communist dream!
Just cover the words and it's a statement of the school I'm sorry she's an idi it's a historical thing and should stay up it's just a part of the history of the school would you have us change the pledge of allegiance so people will stop saying under god? People need to under stand that atheists don't like people saying god and other religious things but here's a atheist trying to change religion as a whole I'm sorry but she's and idiot
I'm sorry Jessica without God this country is nothing you are just a selfish ignorant child , you can go and build your own world in another planet since you don't appreciate that which you have been given to live and enjoy with others.
Her thoughts and face are equally disgusting, trying to force a change through the fact that she feels excluded, I just feel sick thinking about her. LIVE AND LET LIVE but she has the audacity to think that the government shall cater to her every whim.
How curious that in a 'Democracy' who ever gets the most votes... 'The Majority'.. gets to do things their way. Yet still the minority voice seems to win every time.
The Founding Fathers prayed for three hours before writing the American Constitution. Most of them were theologians and high level Bible scholars. In the library of congress you'll find a biblical thesis to justify almost every law passed in the early years of the US.
You should thank GOD for those values and freedom you're losing
@billymodo No we shouldn't. The founding fathers weren't christian. See this: adherents(dot)com/gov/Founding_Fathers_Religion.html. And even if people based laws on the bible? So what? That makes it right? People also base themselves on the Quaran. Are you gonna say the Quaran is wrong now? Wanna believe in bs, good for you, but dont try to teach that shit to the people I know.
@billymodo The US isn't a democracy. It's a federal constitutional republic. Maybe you should learn a little bit about your country and it's founders, LOL.
@Fortune2point0 Republic and democracy aren't wholly distinct concepts. "LOL". The founders weren't happy with particular varieties of direct/pure democracies, not "democracy" in general. Describing the US as democratic is an accurate statement.
@Fortune2point0 According to Dictionary(.)com, Merriam-Webster(.)com and Wikipedia's definitions of "democracy", you are incorrect. Unless you're saying all of them aren't "accurate"?
@Fortune2point0 Thank you, this is an outstanding reply. Now all you have to do is read the federalist letters and discover why it was that the founding fathers chose to create a Republic over all the other options. What you'll discover is that your 'Constitution' and your 'Republic' has been undermined by every government since the Kennedy era.
Nobody in your present administration believes in either the Constitution or the Republic and are working hard to destroy both.
I'm not a Christian either and that prayer wouldn't offend me even slightly. She's making a mountain out of a molehill. If they said "Everyone must recite this daily and believe in it" then yeah, she could be upset. But is it really that difficult to respect the Christian students who want it there? She says they aren't respecting her beliefs, or lack of. But if it gets taken down, she's messing with other people's views and beliefs.
@electricpenguin32 The problem really isn't the fact that she was offended, the problem is that the school was BREAKING THE LAW by having it up. Seeing a prayer banner doesn't bother me, but violating the constitution does.
Yeah let's destroy God in the public arena !!! Then when our Nation implodes we can say that we did it !!! atheists should be shipped to an island with all the homos out there... They would get along fine.
@SeraphimSword I see you're experiencing the peace that only a personal relationship with Christ can give you lol. You want your money spent on prayer banners? Fine. I don't.
@TheImpeacher They're no more, then they're gays in training? How can they be anything if they're no more? Oh wait, you just used the wrong form of the word "than." I'm sorry, I thought people knew simple grammar.
@daNDAYati you fool you are pink like a pussy. The constitution is written by the hand of men not Gods. Any law or rule written by the hand of man is destine to fail. Says not me but say the ways of the world. That little girl has a rough life ahead of her not because she has no religious faith but because she has no faith for herself. She can be ruled by any, shes a weak link like you, speaking up like you make a difference well you don't you filth.
@saroya1919 christian? figures.. thanks for the demonstration on why the religious need to be cornered and controlled.. she defended her constitutional rights.. and you are left being an idiot.
I'm sure with the thousands of dollars that will be spent attempting to remove this prayer could be used to feed the homeless, heal the sick instead of trying to make this girl feel accepted....now who has better morals.
@aaroncogs Imagine if all the tax dollars that are effectively squandered on churches was put to some good instead. Science heals the sick, not prayer. The tax that should be collected from religions should be spent on science. If thousands are spent on removing that prayer it is money well spent on the moral of the story.
@aaroncogs Yep it could've went to good causes, because that banner was unconstitutional and ILLEGAL, the shcool should have just taken the stupid banner down and used the money on better things.
@whitefire1997 Christians on da microphone/ and I know you hate it/ Atheists think they smart but y'all uneducated-I'm that christian female/ jackin' infidels/ Some of my chriggas locked up in prison cells- I'm a hood chrigga/ about 5'2/ What you athees do when my crew decides to ride thru?- We got pocket Bibles/ takin' out our rivals/ aths better run for that slim chance of survival- Deadly rhymes verses/ You athees can't hang/ White, atheist cops think my crew's a gang
If she doesn't like what She see in her school that is been set there for long, Then why she didn't find a School accepts Her own belief as a unbeliever.
@yehSimplyMe not really.. now if she did that where would the fun in be seeing christians having their religious symbols and rituals flushed down the proverbial toilet.
@yehSimplyMe What she believes has no bearing whatsoever on the constitutional legality of the banner. As @brandonbanks21 said, schools are to remain secular by order of the Constitution. You can't just pick and choose what you like and wanna follow.
I'm torn. I am an atheist, but I am not militant about it. Whatever gives these people comfort, I cannot criticize. That said, I can understand why some atheists. can object to such issues. I am a big proponent of separation of church and state in the political arena.

mandy26lez 1 week ago
@mandy26lez Many atheists celebrate at Christmastime. Perhaps you are not aware that before Christmas became a celebration of the birth of Jesus, it was a pagan festival that long predates the birth of Jesus. Although many atheists celebrate the holiday season and the end of the year by giving gifts to people and relaxing with family and friends, they don't mind still calling the event "Christmas." No big deal. It's nice to give gifts. It's nice to celebrate.
AsTheHawkFlies 1 week ago
@mandy26lez Gift giving has nothing to do with Christmas and everything to do with a pagan festival. It's the result of a culture shift. Christians used to be banned from giving out gifts on christmas because it was seen as pagan and NOT christian. To change this pastors made up a bullshit justification so followers could partake in gift giving with their pagan counterparts who had converted to christianity. Religion will ALWAYS bend with society and that's why it's bullshit.

Seriously? This is ridiculous. Who cares if the banner says "heavenly father" and "amen", it's just to make the quote sound more meaningful or have some character.

Personally I think people who truly do believe in a god are stupid and ignorant because it is so obviously false, but suing over a harmless quote is just plain retarded. Amen =]

wutdaFU3K 1 week ago
@wutdaFU3K There's a difference in your example because your example discriminates against a group. Maybe it's just me but when I see phrases like that I don't think of them as being its literal meaning, thus separating religious from non religious, but rather being a figure of speech to add some flavor or characteristic to a passage. Same as saying "Oh my god!", there is no discrimination or any real meaning other than to add character to that exclamation.
PandaMagicFTW 1 week ago
@PandaMagicFTW No, "OMG" is semantic satiation. "Heavenly father" and "Amen" refer directly to the Judeo/Christian God. The banner's message is full of pride and symbolic of school spirit, but a major connotation is founded deep in religious faith, specifically Christianity. It doesn't have as much to do with discrimination as it does with ostracism. Sure this is a very small incident, but it's unconstitutional nevertheless.
wutdaFU3K 1 week ago
@wutdaFU3K I believe you and many others are over thinking this a bit much. It's there just to make the passage sound "cool" and full of character, without any real christian meaning. I wouldn't be surprised if the one who wrote it didn't even believe in god. For example if it had written "our great nation" instead, wouldn't it be absurd if someone that had came from another country to study feel ostracized because it was not their nation as well. It's just a figure of speech nothing more.

The Founding Fathers prayed for three hours before writing the American Constitution. Most of them were theologians and high level Bible scholars. In the library of congress you'll find a biblical thesis to justify almost every law passed in the early years of the US.
