Who gives a ?
A judge has granted Kountze High School cheerleaders a temporary injunction that will allow them to use Scripture banners at football games.

Well, it's TX, no surprise. TX is a "Christian" state, not a secular state.
Who gives a ?
Obviously, ShazBot does.
what does this have to do with anything? It's like you saw Manny's (relevant) thread about a judge's ruling and got jealous.
The Fundamentalists can keep East Texas.
Would TX AG have sided with Muslim cheerleaders with Koranic verses?
It seems free speech advocates would be happy with this result. Perhaps some folks are not as liberal as they pretend.
It's only free speech when they agree with it.
"Christian" Taleban, "Christian" supremacists are super pleased that their religion is preferred and exalted, and one more nail in the Separation clause. Students representing a taxpayer highschool on taxpayer property pimping the Bible.
Ignorance is never a position of strength. Instead of trying to eliminate religion from schools, we should have classes that contrast and compare the various religions including athiesm.
The world will always be at war until we learn what drives one another, how one another thinks, and why. This embrace to the isolation of knowledge is the muscle that ends up supporting dicatatorships.
"we should have classes that contrast and compare the various religions including athiesm."
The "Christians" wouldn't stand for it, esp not itn TX. They want only the Bible taught, and all it fairy tales as science.
Academic, comparative religion studies are more often at the college level, not at HS level, and certainly not at gradeschool level.
Maybe. God bless
If all the cheerleaders are fine with it, I don't see a big problem. *shrug*
Agreed. Those of us that are rational atheists don't give a what a cheerleader squad does in a 2 bit town.
This is the kind of bull that distracts from actual Church/State Separation issues.
What did the scriptures say
I John 8:23 "And verily I say unto you. Blake is a knucklehead."
Pretty sure that was it.
Actually, I think it was "I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me".
At least that's the one I saw on the news this morning. The article makes it sound like there might be more.
lol..saw some of the banners. Most of 'em center around their mascot, the Lion.
"...But the righteous are as bold as the lion."
"the lion is the mightiest among all beasts"
You and I are going to get along just fine. They teach mythologies in english class. they can fit Yahweh in with Zeus. What they do not need is a theology class in what is supposed to be a secular state. You can have your churches and your fairy tale pow-wows but I would just as soon not have my son proselytized on the states dime.
Make no mistake I am a devout christian. But as a christian I know my deeds are the representation of my faith. I do not believe that you can or should force a belief on anyone including the belief in atheism.
There's no "belief in atheism". That's like saying, "a belief in a lack of belief in god/s"
I can see why these cheerleaders are getting crucified.
Yeah, if it's a school sponsored event, they shouldn't be allowed to hang that particular verse.Actually, I think it was "I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me".
Nor should you force your nonbelief in atheism, nonbeliever.
I could get into grammar and how negation works but i do not feel like going around in circles with the christian fundamentalist's current semantic playbook.
