Florida Bans Christian School Teams from Praying Before Games

Actually He promised not to....this time will be much worse

They are ignorant as to what is coming and they refuse to learn.

Back when one of our twins was about eight or nine some woman told her she was going to feel silly if she lives her life believing in God and when she dies nothing is there. Our daughter, bless her heart, told the woman "not near as silly as you'll feel if God is there".

Quick kid.
I ask them what's the downside. And of course there is none.

Exactly, nothing wrong with trying to live the Christian life. I see kids who are being raised in it and kids who are not. The ones that know Christ are achievers, out of trouble and great kids

Oh? When did God say he'd flood the earth again?

What is the downside, possibly not cherishing the life they were given. Every one thinks they are going to see someone in the afterlife, and I believe people should live this life like there is no afterlife. Probably be a lot less wars if everyone had a respect for the life of themselves and others.

Yeah, building orphanages and getting people out of poverty is such a waste of time when instead we can be going to bars and watching Oprah.

Who said anything about Oprah ,or going to bars. Quite living like there is a next life and yes building orphanages is a good thing, for all we know this is it and best to leave a good legacy here while your here.

Interesting.

I suppose if the football is made of pigskin, the Muslim team would just as soon play hot potato as football.

Well you adopted their religion so maybe you are , I should say adopted and changed the parts you didn't like.

Why would a non religious person go to the jungles of a third world nation to help the poor? No reason, it's why you never see any.

May that man kick butt! If some people don't like seeing other people pray to whoever it is that they want to pray to, they are free to get up and leave whenever they are ready to. If we have to deal with their "stink", they can deal with ours!

God bless you and that man always!!!

Who stopped them praying ?

The same is pretty much true for helping the needy here in America, churches are carrying the load, it's very rare you'll see a non religious outreach and if it is it's a government agency trying to get numbers, info, etc.

Yep, atheists and government spend their effort fighting against helping the needy. Recently a Synagogue was ordered by NYC to stop giving left over food from events to a homeless shelter because they didn't have the calorie information.

The left have gone full NAZI mode.

When two private Christian schools convened to compete for the state championship, Florida officials denied their request to pray.

One of the schools — Cambridge Christian — is now suing the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), claiming the decision to deny students the ability to pray violates both the state and federal constitutions, as well as the Florida Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Prior to the game, students at each school, Cambridge Christian and University Christian, agreed to a joint religious observance before the game began. The size of the venue required the use of the stadium PA system. The FHSAA denied their request, telling the schools that state assets could not be used for religious speech. (RELATED: Christian Coach Suing School That Demanded He Stop Praying)

“First is the fact that the facility is a public facility, predominantly paid for with public tax dollars, makes the facility ‘off limits’ under federal guidelines and precedent court cases,” FHSAA director Roger Dearing wrote. “Second, is the fact that in Florida Statutes, the FHSAA (host and coordinator of the event) is legally a ‘State Actor’, we cannot legally permit or grant permission for such an activity.”

Though the U.S. Supreme Court bans school officials from organizing prayer at such events, students may lead and coordinate such a religious observance. Members of both teams said a prayer before the game began, but onlookers in the crowd did not participate due to the logistical challenges.

“By rejecting Cambridge Christian’s request for pre-game prayer over the loudspeaker on the basis of its religious character and viewpoint, the FHSAA unlawfully prohibited Cambridge Christian’s private religious speech and unreasonably burdened its right to freedom of speech and free exercise of religion,” the suit reads.

Seems odd if these schools were renting the facility that they couldn't hold any religious observance that they wanted to.

I bet that Florida does rent state facilities for religious conventions- I don't know how this would be different.

They are ignorant as to what is coming and they refuse to learn.

Back when one of our twins was about eight or nine some woman told her she was going to feel silly if she lives her life believing in God and when she dies nothing is there. Our daughter, bless her heart, told the woman "not near as silly as you'll feel if God is there".

Every one thinks they are going to see someone in the afterlife, and I believe people should live this life like there is no afterlife. Probably be a lot less wars if everyone had a respect for the life of themselves and others.

I have also always wondered what God thinks of people being Christian out of fear or to cover their bases when they die. Not to worship and celebrate their deity, but to make sure they have an upside.

Where does it say Christians must worship? Thinking you can trick God is showing your limited understanding.
