TheGrunt Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I really hope no one was offended. "We're just respectful, God-fearing people up here," resident Tony Bentle said. OhhhK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I suppose one could come up with any number of slippery slope arguments about how a non-religious kid could feel left out and such, but that would be about as lame and the religious right's assertion that the fact that people are resisting faith-based legislation is somehow an attack on their way of life. But this seems pretty lame. Primarily because it was student run and the coaches simply bowed their heads. I mean, that makes you think that the coaches are actually sensitive to the situation and acted appropriately. It sounds like they're religious, so they're certainly not going to tell the kids not to pray, but sort of stayed on the side and let them do their thing so that nobody felt compelled to do their coach's bidding and join in. If people want to pray, they're going to pray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the most religious person, but I do believe in freedom of religion or religious expressions; so long as it is not malicious in nature and doesn't call for destruction of anything. Peaceful faith is good and I fully support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrunt Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Oh heh. I meant to say *not*... Exactly.

Peaceful faith is good and I fully support it. Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
