SlymDayspring 01/30/12 6:54:00 AM #14:	paper, what is 'ridiculous' about the girl? let us take a look at the prayer "“Our Heavenly Father,” the prayer begins, “grant us each day the desire to do our best, to grow mentally and morally as well as physically, to be kind and helpful.” It goes on for a few more lines before concluding with “Amen.” " now, you can be like "IT IS A GOOD MESSAGE REGARDLESS" Well, okay then. Let us rewrite the prayer to make it for atheists. "You don't need god to do your best each day, to grow mentally and morally as well as physically, to be kind and helpful." do you think that if this message was hung, that everyone would be okay with it because it is a nice message? **. no. it would be a gigantic scandal. people need to stop acting like public places not being overtly religious is just because atheists are whiny babies, THAT is what is ridiculous, because if public places were overtly atheist, then you would see some REAL whining. -- I'm "kind of a big deal". http://img.imgcake.com/cyclo/Cyclopngegpngre.png <cite>SlymDayspring posted [p:726132] in Girl gets ...

Cloud and Squall 01/30/12 7:35:00 AM #31:	Again, I don't see how the school is endorsing a religion. For one thing, the girl had to have the prayer... brought to her attention. A friend brought the prayer to Jessica’s attention in 2010, when she was a high school freshman. She said nothing at first, but before long someone else — a parent who remained anonymous — filed a complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union. Many alumni this week said they did not remember the prayer from their high school days but felt an attachment to it nonetheless. Yeah, real endorsement of religion there when most people seem to not even remember the prayer. -- See You In Another Life, Brother. <cite>Cloud and Squall posted [p:726149] in Girl gets ...

Dauntless Hunter 01/30/12 7:43:00 AM #38:	From: ExThaNemesis \| #030 I don't agree with this broad's agenda to mess with her school's motto It's not a motto. Mottoes are short, like "Pro Scientia Atque Sapientia", or "Perstare Et Praestare", or "Winter Is Coming". This is long as **, it's multiple sentences for 's sake. And it's a prayer straight up, any attempt to say "it's really more of a something else" is just whitewashing. -- Something witty while mentioning SuperNiceDog.

SlymDayspring 01/30/12 7:49:00 AM #41:	so are you saying that it is okay for schools to display prayers as long as it is not one of the things anyone remembers about their high school experience? is that because you hate the constitution? because you hate america? because you hate freedom? or just because you think this girl is SO ANNOYING BY CARING that you are willing to be stupid just so she doesn't get what she wants? -- I'm "kind of a big deal". http://img.imgcake.com/cyclo/Cyclopngegpngre.png <cite>SlymDayspring posted [p:726159] in Girl gets ...

Cloud and Squall 01/30/12 8:00:00 AM #46:	I'm saying it's okay for them to display something written by one of their students. Regardless of religious affiliation (or lacktherof) If they were forced to recite it, then I'd say "Yes, the school is endorsing religion." If an atheist wrote their own version, and said that "Let reason guide us... something something something" and they didn't hang that up, then I'd say "Yes, the school is endorsing religion." I'm for freedom of speech, even when it offends people. So long as everyone's allowed their freedom of speech. I don't see how they're limiting anyones freedom here. -- See You In Another Life, Brother. <cite>Cloud and Squall posted [p:726164] in Girl gets ...
