I ran across this on Comcast this morning. Why on earth is a Wisconsin based 'foundation' threatening to sue a school in Tallapoosa if they pray before a game, how the he!! is it any of their business? Stay the frick in Wisconsin and don't pray at your own football games.
Now having said that, I don't prefer public prayer in an organized setting, but I'm not going to knock tradition and act like a jacka$ about it. Why can't people just go with the flow and not be offended about EVERY STUPID thing on the planet? I don't like 6 inch heels, but I'm not trying to ban them from every other woman that wants to wear them, I just leave them on the shelf and buy the 3 inch heels instead. I don't wear a burka and if I see someone in one like I did last week, I'm not going to sue her because it somehow makes me feel uncomfortable.......it's not my business and I don't have to wear one, so how is her wearing one hurting me? OH WAIT.................it's not.
People need to clean their own house long before they insist on trying to clean someone elses.
I don't think anyone is knocking 'tradition' (if you could call it that sometimes) and it seems people want to be offended about anything these days, that statement does swing both ways. But what must be kept an ever vigilance against is the insertion of religious interpretation, institutionalization and incorporation into the public legislation, laws and education by these groups seeking dominance, preference and to marginalize or deny the rights of others based on their groups bigotry and religious interpretations...

Our country was founded on "one nation under GOD" our money has "in God we trust" printed clearly. This is America and there is freedom of speech.
You have the freedom not to participate. It is not a meeting but simply a few moments to acknowledge the beliefs our COUNTRY was founded upon. No one makes you close your eyes or say anything but is it too much to ask to just be silent and think of whatever you choose for a moment or two.
Give your moments to think of our soldiers if you have no spiritual beliefs. What is the harm?
It was fine for 200 years in our nation and things seemed much better then.
Wow, that's about as ignorant a statement as I've read yet. You are truely blind and deaf to all around you except for the darkness that you have created around yourself. Even after the historical explaination on the history and dates of the things like "One nation under 'god' " and "in 'god' we trust" you will still refuse to believe them. Seeing only what you want to see, hearing only what you want to hear...

BMR. Did you mean "What's good for the goose is good for the gander"? Hate is hate my friend, no matter how one justifies it. If one is praying in public just to piss off those not of your religion, you are acting out of hate. God is NOT HATE...

Werd!
And the only thing he should be deciding is what shoes he will wear today. It's all he is qualified to do and that is even questionable.
People really aren't thinking these issue through when they want stuff like "prayer in public schools and sporting events" The federal governments regulate everything to death when we give them the chance. Now let's put them in charge of teaching Christianity in Public Schools? If President Obama is really a closet Muslim, can you just imagine the interpretations that are gonna come out of the White House on the requirements for public prayer services??? People just don't understand the slippery slopes they are allowing when public officals get those kinds of policy making decesions. And politicians ride the whole "Christianty" dog and pony show for all it's worth if they think it's what will get them into office....

Now the anti Christian folks have another issue to fuss about. They have put the 10 Commandments up at the Capitol. Prayer at football games and the 10 commandments at the GA Capitol. They can't allow that now can they?
Don't worry, it won't be up for long. It's been removed before and it will be removed again. Just more pandering to voters by politicians and they fall for it. And as I said before, prayer isn't the issue at school sporting events. It's the Public School System sponsoring the prayer service that is the problem. Do you really want the federal government sponsoring such things? Do you really want the federal government in everybodies religion? Do you want President Obama deciding such matters on what the national policy for Christianity should be and the interpretations that would be applied? It never ceases to amaze me at so many people not wanting government in their lives but government in their religion...

Pretty standard fair in the Georgia High School Association, GHSA. It has been that way for years. When my son was at Riverside Military they were part of the Independent High School Association. His junior year they switched the the GHSA and had to quit having an organized prayer before the game.
The team said a prayer.
The band said a prayer.
Many parents said a prayer, especially if the other team was full of 350 pound monsters.
But the school could not have the chaplain say a prayer.
In small town public schools and public sporting events it is all too easy to run roughshot over the rights of others and think to oneself "so what"... "they'll get over it'... "they can sit there and shut up if they know what's go for 'em"... "The Jewish boy is just gonna have ta deal with it"... "I hope I pissed off that Muslim kid, moon god kid deserved it" ... I wonder about peoples true intent sometimes with such matters as prayer in public, is it devotion or agitation? Does making yourself an a$$ about these things in public make one a better Christian when the motivation of such actions is just to piss people off??? Seems like it would drive off far more than such actions would attract. That's not spreading the Gospel, that's spreading hate...
^^^ +10! Let them Pray!
They can pray all they want, no law against that...

Thoughts:
Actually, they can do it at the game if they want. Fact is, if they wanted to try and shout down the band, they could do it at half time. They have freedom of Religion.
What is prohibited, Thoughts, is the guy selected by the school delivering as a part of the event, a formal, approved prayer with the consent and approval of the school administration.
And, I'm moving this article back to county wide news.

PS: More power to those organizing this 'rebellious event.' I suspect that the prayer will be more sincere since it is not tainted with government interference. This grass-roots prayer is the essence of what is freedom of speech and religion. They don't have to ask anyone's permission to do what they're doing.
This was my point in it's entirety. For the school system to sponser the event. If they want to protest and preach, go right ahead. Scream to the heavens at the football game. But the school system cannot sponsor the event and even has the right to eject the protestors from the game if they become disruptive at such events...
-
No one is stopping them from holding a prayer service before the game OFF SCHOOL PROPERTY and NOT sponsered by the PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. You wanna have a prayer service before hand, knock yourself out. Just do it somewhere else besides at the school at the game. You can even have it right off the school property on private property all you want...

Another peice of my childhood slips away and the world grows ever so colder. I was taught by both Mr and Mrs Veal when I was at PCJHS. It's even more disturbing seeing schools and buildings named after people I actually knew when I was in school...

Not sure OJ is a good example to make your point.
Next time maybe name someone that didn't do the crime.
No faith in our justice system, the Mob found him guilty. How can anybody have any faith in our justice system if we decide from the outside a person is guilty or innocent rather than relying on the system in place. OJ was aquitted of all charges by a Jury of his peers as per the laws of this country, but that's not good enough is it? I didn't like the verdict either but I have faith in our system of justice and had to accept it. No faith, the Mob knows better, right???

Private citizens discussing allegations are not bound by the same standard as the government. Due process is for the courtroom.
By the same token none of us would want to be judged in the court of public opinion. But the far reaching effects for the so charged often last a life time. Child molestation charges are always page one, but the not guilty verdicts are on page 12, if they get published at all. The reputation of the guy will be damned forever and I doubt he'll ever get a teaching job again as The Mob have judged him guilty and school systems will always find a way to keep him away, people will not want to "take the chance" around their children, even if the charges were totally dropped. Not to mention the financial destruction of one's life having to defend yourself against such charge and the deep pockets of the DA's office. We're all not like OJ Simpson who had the financial means of defending himself and still got destroyed by The Mob. It is the ultimate no confidence vote for the Justice System in this country, the Voice of The Mob...

not when it comes to CHILD PORN. Lock them down... ask questions later...
Ummm... you see... there's this thing in this country called... What is it??? Um... Oh yeah... DUE PROCESS...
It keeps the state and government from depriving you of your rights until you've been found guilty of the crimes against you. So I can't accuse you of being a child molester, load up your computer with nasty images with a little hacker program I have called NetDevil and then have the Police beat the snot out of "this evil child molestor" and lock you away until some distant time when your lawyer can prove your innocence and a court of law can find the charges against you not guilty. You are probably right about the FBI having evidence against the guy, but this country still has Due Process and a reasonable doubt always needs to be kept in such sensationalized cases until a Jury can sort out the evidence...

So much for innocent until proven guilty...

I shoulda finished off the wings there at the restaurant. When we picked up the girls from Six Flags they destroyed what was left along with the fries. I'll know better next time...

How many people ate ONE HUNDRED wings??? I know there's not much meat on wings, but *dang* .... 
We took 40 home. There was 6 of us but only 4 ate wings. Were working on the other 40 as I type this...
-
We went tonight and the wings were
FANTASTIC!!!
We got 60 wings to begin with then, because we were the last customers there, they asked if we wanted the rest of what they had left for the night, (we paid for them) we ended up cleaning them out! Those wings were that good!!! I think the final total was 100 wings...
