The SCOTUS just took a crap on the US Constitution

[metalwolf]

Nah. But I tell ya what. You’re now on iggy. One last word of advice to you before I banish you to the phantom zone: don’t call people NAZIs, here. This is especially good advice when the person you’re trying to label is anything but a Nazi.

Well, perhaps I'll be held accountable for judgment but, in my opinion, getting on the 50-yardline of a crowded stadium demonstrates exactly what is in his heart: public attention. He could have done it in his office, in the locker room, anywhere he wanted.

On a huge scale, this reminds me of families who make a big deal of praying over their meals in restaurants because, apparently, praying in their car or before they left home wasn't allowed. It's for show.

Jesus prayed where he was; he prayed in public. He didn't search out the most crowded public places. Not at all the same thing.

Pray in private. Don't cast your pearls before swine. Share the good news by living a good life and being an example. Even go knock on doors or set up a table and pass out literature.. Sharing is doing, not showing off.

Oh well. That's where you are wrong. This coach prayed after games, after everyone had gone home but a few players staying to join him in the empty stadium.

The S.C. has failed us in the past. Any normal person would disagree that the Constitution would permit the police to just stop people to see if they are doing something wrong, yet the court did just that to satisfy MADD years ago.

Love it or leave it. Please feel free to leave. We'll lock the door behind you.

So when they take your guns, will you say "Love it or leave it"?

"Forcing religion on children": AG Healey knocks Supreme Court school prayer ruling

The court sided with a former high school football coach who lost his job for praying after games.

www.cbsnews.com

BOSTON - Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is among those criticizing Monday's Supreme Court ruling that sided with a Washington state high school football coach who lost his job for praying after games.

The court ruled 6-3 in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District that the free exercise and free speech clauses of the First Amendment protect an individual engaging in religious expression.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereo [sic]

Considering some of the truly sick shit that you defend being forced on children, your objection to them being exposed to prayer or religion is an embarrassing joke; but not at all unexpected from your degenerate kind.

 

[badger2]

The Court was exactly correct. The government cannot stop someone from praying any time or place. Of course this same Court did shit on the Constitution when they approve California's ban on church attendance during the pandemic so the Court is far from perfect.

That said, and considering that neither you, me, or the Court know this guy's actual religion, I will suggest that he doesn't pray to the God I pray to: the God of Abraham and Moses; the Father of Jesus. It seems he prays to the God of self-promotion. The God of Abraham and Moses, through his son Jesus, taught that those who follow him should pray in private.

In Matthew, 6:5, it says this:

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets and in the center of the football fields and stadiums, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.​

Ok. I tweaked that just a bit but it says what it says. He has his reward. He's not praying to God, he's praying to himself.

Your quote is incorrect. Yes, Jesus is arguing against (the image of prayer [italics]), and xians have a desire to be recognized as members of a protection racket. They have a desire to antagonize all those who are not members of the protection racket via the scopic drive, an arrogant form of pornography. Otherwise, for future potential recruits to this mafia, moral posturing serves as decoy.

Yours is heresay: it cannot be established what god is being prayed to, or even if there is a prayer underway. No moving lips were documented, either, though it certainly looks like a prayer underway.

'But I'm an atheist and I regularly quote the bible to argue against government prayer. In Matthew 6:5, Jesus condemns public prayer as hypocrisy: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen." As an atheist, I use the bible to convince believers not to abuse their public office to promote their personal religion, pointing to the words of their own savior in his Sermon on the Mount. Like Paine and Lincoln, I write to my audience.'

Sigh....again

Jesus said not to do this because the Pharisees were hypocrites. They ONLY prayed to be seen in public. It was not a general rx never to pray in public, which Jesus himself did many times, such as when He multiplied the fishes and loaves.

People who hate the Bible, as it turns out, are not very good at Biblical interpretation.

 

[badger2]

Your argument is taken out of context. It tries to differentiate between the more and the less of a stadium crowd while conveniently ignoring religion's arrogance (for all others [italics]) who do pray in public and identify themselves as protection-racketists.

Too bad, so sad. Gorsuch said you don't get a "heckler's veto". And he's right.

Look away, cry, whatever you need to do I guess.

Nothing fails like prayer, and the absurd contradictions of praying are aptly exemplified when Jesus supposedly performs a miracle. Jesus too was only praying to himself in this particular fairy tale of the bible, where the absurdity of faith is hawked as a substitute for the scientific knowledge required to explain this absurd 'miracle.'.

 

[Oddball]

The problem that we have here is that many self-proclaimed Christians support the teachings in the Bible as little as many self-proclaimed conservatives support and defend the Constitution.

They only like it when it fits and they reject it when it interferes with their narrative.

The Bible is quite clear.

Something about getting the plank out of one's own eye comes to mind....

 

[Oddball]

So, they need to get back in the closet, huh?

Another absurd argument that excludes science. The religious addicts have no right to accumulate to exacerbate epidemiology. Not one of them, like the Chinese communists, can tell anyone the origins of the virus, so waiting for a non-existent god and his dead son to do clue the prisoners up is also quite absurd.

If the dufus would have bothered to look at the facts of the case he would have known that there was absolutely no forcing of religion on anybody.

Typical Moon Bat hysteria without bothering to look at facts.

Liberals are dumbest mutherfvckers on the planet.

This prisoner's problem in living a good life is that religion thefts from the scapegoat from what the Tin Man always already has, and makes it a rule of its dictatorship. There are plenty of non-religious who also practice morality, so this arrogant claim of exclusive morality equates to 666 kuklos exothen, exclusionary expressions we saw in the acid-trip delirium of John of Patmos when writing the book of Revelation.
