Re: Kicked out of school for refusing to join prayer circle

THIS is why we don't have prayer in school and why organized prayer should NEVER be allowed.

why is there so many dislikes on this video? this guy is so on the spot on this subject! for the record i gave you a thumbs up and wished i could give you a thumbs up again!

[KingHeathen]

@AkoolStick I appreciate that...the dislikes are due to "votebots" They almost all came after a single campaign against me. Thanks for tipping the scales in the direction of rationality.

I disagree with how school is not a place for religion. In school, you learn what is fact and what is fiction. So, school is a PERFECT place to teach why religion is not valid.

[KingHeathen]

@YoungIvyScholar I'll grant you that take...but in a society that thinks religious has merit, it changes a few things.

When your team is one place and you will not stand with them. Your not apart of the team. Weither they are praying or not. You don't have to pray.

If you say you must go to the corner to pray and then this one atheist stand out in the middle of the basket ball gym and looks at everybody else. Sir the people will not let you Grand Stand Atheism like that.

We in this country have religion and Government but not Government without Religion.

@turtle4aire

So what you are saying is that if the football team is gang raping a girl, and you decide to not stand with them as they do it....

PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS! RETARD!

Let me introduce you to a phrase you obviously missed in Civics class...SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!

Christianity is a cancer

What is pathetic is a friend of my daughters was told she couldnt write with 'Jesus loves you" pencil because of people like you. I dont beleive what you're saying, look at all the aclu's law suits of schools because someone wants to practice their right of freedom of religion. Like you said, dont want to pray, dont pray. But dont tell me I cant.

@sammygod09 It was the coolest thing in the World.

[sammygod09]

My Senior Year 2000 in Wisconsin We had all kinds of different churchs leaders at it saying prayers before graducation.

@Landotter1 Sure thats the reality, but that doesnt mean people cant fight against it, or be angry at it. Doesnt mean they're going to change anything either. Your correct in that the power center will always determine what happens.

Life's tough home slice. Grew up in small towns all my life. that's just how it is. You don't like it, don't move there. It isn't rocket science. The way the folks treat outsiders is deplorable but it is what it is. Leave them alone because believe me, they didn't ask those folks to move there I promise you that. They run that town they way they see fit. always have, always will. You are the outsider? Who are you to say otherwise? You want reality? There it is....

[DieselGTX]

UN clearly stated that Following any religion is a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.But this is disastrous,First a girl is kicked out of a basketball match for not praying then now another person gets KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL for not praying,That's really cruel and unkind,Where's democracy?Where's Human rights?Well done Obama,Keep up the good work with your ragtag band of psychos.

[tarrizzzzzzzzz]

let me get this straight... she got chraged with.. didn't really get what, but they offered to drop the charges if she left the state?!

I'd like to get some clarification, if someone doesn't mind :)

[TheEnlightenedGypsy]

bravo - good video response.

@lizichell2 Religion is a cancer

[nunayafb]

@turtle4aire 1. It is a basketball team not a prayer team.

2. Basketball is secular, the public school system is secular, why are they praying?

3. Why do christians think that only your religious freedoms should be protected and that non-christians should be kicked out of school?

4. Grand standing, you douche, 2 whole fucking teams in an organized prayer and one player opted out and stood quietly off to the side without disrupting anyone, they were grand standing she was courteous, wake up!
