September 1, 201115 yr I'm sorry but to me it all boils down to the same thing. Freedom of religion and the rights of the people,By banning the school-endorsed prayer isn't "freedom of religion" being supported? What about Bell County now supporting the rights of ALL the people?
September 1, 201115 yr Correct, but football is a sport, that folks pay admission to see. High School sports is also supported by donations and sponsorships from businesses and individuals. From what I've read the discussion is about the rights of the people.I don't think we are talking about the Bell County Pop Warner football team here. Donations or not, it is still a publicly funded school.
September 1, 201115 yr I don't think we are talking about the Bell County Pop Warner football team here. Donations or not, it is still a publicly funded school. Then a student or a teacher gets killed in an accident and they have there funeral in the school gym. They do this at publicly funded schools. Matter of fact a popular Bell County teacher a few years back was killed in a four wheeler accident. I'm pretty sure the service was in the school. So was this wrong?

Funeral services don't have to be religious....Just a thought.
September 1, 201115 yr Clyde believes in God, only thinks shouldn't make a scene and try to promote it in public, because our government says so. Someone writes "God is Great !" with spray paint on a wall. I don't believe God thinks that is right at all. The law says thats trespassing and maybe littering. I believe God would want those to express themselves in a way that is not law breaking.
September 4, 201115 yr Male High school just added a new entrance. Its overhead and oval and its called "Veterans Memorial Stadium". Its for the Male students who have served in the Armed Forces. On the plaque it states its reason but I saw this part at the bottom.. FOR GOD...FOR COUNTRY...FOR MALE... There is an add in the program about this and at the bottom of the program add it states. Greater love hath no man than this, that a Man lay down his life for his friends". John 15:13 This is so cool. I might start its own thread.

September 5, 201115 yr That is fantastic ! Good for Male , I wonder how long it will be until someone Complains about this ? Totally agree, glad to see this from Male. I also agree that it won't be long until some idiot whines about it.
September 5, 201115 yr Just read what out founding fathers said about God, putting our faith in him and praying to him. Our country we founded "In God We Trust"! Also, separation of Church and state was not to keep the church out of government it was to keep the government from dictating what church you attended. Our founding fathers let Gods word guid them in running this country from it's beginning and now we want to keep Gid out of our governments decisions. It's no wonder our country is in the shape it's in. Of course there are some of you who will disagree and that's your right but I will witness for God anywhere anytime and I know where I will be for eternity! May God Bless you all

September 5, 201115 yr Author I wouldn't be shocked if some on this site didn't go complain about it. BTW, that is an awesome plaque.
