  • @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 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.

  • @FlintSparkedStudios Sure no problem, for the same reasons why Zeus the god of thunder is obviously false.

  • @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!

  • You go girl

  • @PandaMagicFTW

    Just curious here, no hostilities. What makes it obviously false?

  • I'm not religious either, but this bitch is just being a cunt.

  • @bp444701 I know people who go there and there planning on making a whole bunch of t shirt with the banner on it and wearing them around school

  • Everyone at the school who believes in God go Tebow in front of the banner. Do something Cranston West!

    .

  • @PandaMagicFTW Voice of reason. Thank You
