I could say quite a bit about this too myself , Although Christianity does have its good points, the exclusive nature of many Christian sects opens the door to Christian bigotry. Christian bigotry is a disgusting and insidious evil. To Christian bigots themselves, their bigotry is usually invisible. It disguises itself as piety and righteousness. But to non-Christians at the receiving end, it is often plain old unadulterated bigotry.

“Atheism is the last accepted form of bigotry in our country”

I thought I had read every form of ridiculous bumper-sticker tripe, until I read this comment posted by Steve.

While there are plenty of atheist bigots, let’s not forget the anti-Mormon bigots that stalked Mitt Romney. Remember how only 38% of polled Americans said they could never vote for a Mormon? The pastor of the Christian church I USED to attend said, when discussing the supremacy of the bible over any other text, that “Mormons were an evil heretical cult.” Nobody in my enormous congregation batted an eye.

Let us also not forget the Catholic and Southern Baptist prohibition of female preachers. Homophobia is still a perfectly accepted form of bigotry in some circles. What about all the anti-gay bigots in California that are screaming and yelling about Proposition 8? Don’t forget many fundamentalist Christians’ favorite passtime, Catholic bashing. And so on, and so forth.

Please put down the O’Riley Factor Taling Point Memo and look around, Steve. There is plenty of bigotry for all of us.

I understand each person’s right to be heard. Do realize that if we keep letting them take freedoms away that one day will not be able to cheer for our team in the stands because it is detrimental to the self esteem of the other team. We will give these young people a complex by rooting for their defeat while they are trying their best. You may laugh, but we are headed in that direction.
If coach wants to join his team in prayer it should be his right; just as it is his right not to join in. This is not all about religion, but the freedoms we are giving up. What are you going to say when someone steps up and sues the school system because they play the national anthem? Are we not infringing on those from different countries. If we let them the government will legislate every decision for us. Most people do not realize the freedoms they are losing because a few speak out against something

I could say quite a bit about this subject. Things that the “enlightened” would have a hard time dealing with rationally. But this is all I want to say to the “tolerant”.

Atheism is the last accepted form of bigotry in our country.

Congratulations bigots your winning.

Eventually Xtianity and the other “modern” religions will go the way of past myths like Greek Mythology.

I find it ironic that they will castigate the Christian prayer while schools routinely have readings from the Koran and allow Muslims to pray.
We restrict those that the establishment wishes to destroy but applaud those who would do us harm in the name of diversity.
We are a nation lost and will soon be pulled apart by those within who wish our downfall.

Joe the PLumber,

This guy in this instance (ffotbal coach mentioned above) didnt try to force anything down anyones throat.

I am completely in favor of the seperation of church and state. 100%

We have to legislate with common sense though. Period.

Matt P.,

Doesn’t referring to this mass of people as “a nation of sheep who like to follow the words of men who on occasion break out the crystal meth and screw male prostitutes.” Sound an awful lot like a ridiculous and naive stereotype that a moron 90 year old right-wing bible banger would use to describe all the “hippie faggots” trying to desicrate the bible by allowing gay marriage. Or the “Pagan Devil Worshipers” who want Under God removed??? You are just as bad as they are!

The horrible stereotypes and lack of understanding from both side in issues of morality is the NUMBER ONE problem in this country.

How is not allowing the man to participate in a voluntary student led prayer any less a violation of civil rights than forcing a student to participate. These instances have to be dealt with on a case by case basis.

If it is found that he is initiating or leading than by all means enforce the separation issue. I understand the argument that he has the power to influence them. But to deny this man the right to participate in something the students initiated is ridiculous. Not to mention a violation of his rights.

Michael,

your comment starts out with the phrase “Bible Bangers” which is incredibly stereotypical and prejudice. I pray… I believe in God! But I don’t push my views on anyone… ever.

Personally I think telling them what the cant’ with regards to religious practices is just a much a violation of making them something in particular.

Is there even a question? The Constitution CLEARLY outlines what it has to say about religion, and that is that no one shall be given any religious test as a qualification of office. That’s it. That’s all it needs. This is not a constitutional issue, and as much as I hate to say it, only time will weed out the religious zealots until at last the issue is behind us. It makes it hard when you have countries like China who are by law atheist, it makes the rest of us look bad.

Exercising religious freedom is fine at home and in appropriate places, but I don’t want my children being overrun by a nation of sheep who like to follow the words of men who on occasion break out the crystal meth and screw male prostitutes.

Yes it’s a shame that the constitution is so inconvenient. Perhaps we should just rip it up and make up our own rules.

As far as the comments about the growing anti-Christian bias you have one party to thank for that – the right wing republicans who try to force it down peoples throats. Even try to force anyone to do anything? Doesn’t work that way.
