You dont deserve rights, you should go to some Middle Eastern country and see how you get treated.

 

But didn't the Declaration say: We are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights?

 

If God endows them then who are you to suddenly pronounce that not everyone "deserves rights?"

 

I can almost hear the storm troopers in the streets now.

So now those who don't share your beliefs are stupid. Gotcha.

 

You would've thrived back in the days of religious prosecution, where if you didn't believe a certain way it was common place to burn people at the stakes and behead them.

 

"The Inquisition, the Inquisition, what a show!"

You are what you are.

Getting a little chippy in here...

 

I'm just curious.. How many of the posters arguing this point (either way) are actually from Bell County/actually go to Bell County football games?

Not from Bell Co. Never attended a Bell Co. game. Pretty much stick to Trinity games for the most part, with a little Male, Manual and Central thrown in once in a while, or an Evansville North.

Never been, never plan on going. The location of where the football game is played is irrelevant to me. It's a matter of public prayer at a public school event.

Never been and don't plan on going to any Bell County football games. In fact, I don't go to high school football games period.

Bell Co , never been there , and Unless they'll play NCC I'll never go .

Do you see a difference between public prayer at the school event & public prayer at the Inauguration? Should it be disallowed at school (publicly funded), but permitted at the Inauguration (also publicly funded)?

 

I only ask because you seem level-headed, but also because that's the current setup & it seems insanely contradictory to me on the part of the justice system.

I don't even know where Bell County is located. :lol:

Personally, I don't see a difference. However, I'm assuming the difference is the prayer at a public school could be seen as a sort of indoctrination (I think that's the word I'm looking for). After all, in a school setting we're dealing with kids who the teachers have an impact on their way of thinking and can leave impressions that be unwanted. That's the only difference I can see. :idunno:

South... Along the Tennessee border in the eastern part of the state. We have an office in Middlesboro I used to visit quite frequently.

This point continues to be ignored in this thread because it doesn't "fit" the mold. No one seems to have an answer or explanation for this. Someone please tell me what the difference is between this and the public school prayer? A prayer is also said on the congressional floor to begin each session (aloud) by a tax payer funded chaplain. Why has this not been stopped by the atheist?

That's an interesting take. But I would think if that is indeed the difference, the football game (a non-educational event, or less potential for "indoctrination") wouldn't fall under the same guidelines as a Monday thru Friday school day. Does that make sense?

 

So am I correct in saying you think the prayer should be disallowed in both venues, since you said you didn't see a difference?

Good and please do not start. You may get offended and hurt feelings. I am sure Bell fans would not want you either.
