RI atheist teen gets prayer taken down from school[views:21241][posts:161]_______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 4:59pm - yummy ""] I would love to go back to 1963 and find that 7th grader. You listen here fuckstick! That's a beautiful little hymn you got there. It ain't goin up on that wall. After all the money in legal fees it will be nothing but a thorn in this schools' side. Not to mention the impact on florist shops. Get it the fuck outta here! |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 5:08pm - STLUCIFUREVA ""] if it was a Muslim prayer to Ala , lets see how fast it wouldn't have been taken down . |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 5:09pm - STLUCIFUREVA ""] when your in a public school , you should have to even look at religious ghosts and goblins. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 5:23pm - Yeti ""] Samefag said:My point was that a prayer hanging on a wall is not prayer in school. RECITING the prayer on the wall is prayer in school. Without drawing such attention to it, it's simply a piece of school history. this is the worst argument i've heard yet. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 5:25pm - Yeti ""] yummy said:This prayer was written by a seventh grader. Sure, the point being that the school should've never put it up nor allowed it to stay up I agree with. However, people consider things like this part of the fabric of their society. my cousin said the same thing, but then followed up with the fact that if it's a part of town history, put it in a town museum. and all the points about if this was a Muslim or Atheist document are spot on, it would have been taken down before the last tack was put in. |

Bullshit, and a weak argument itself. The prayer in question can be aimed at many MANY faiths. Including Muslim, for that matter. It's rather vague, ambiguous, and non-denominational. You're making a huge leap here in your logic, like most overzealous atheists do. (like the twat in the story, as well). By the way, I'm an atheist too. Just not a retard like yourself. |

What town are you from that has it's own museum? Never seen a "town museum". Good reason not to put it in the town museum, don't you think? RETARD. At least your cousin proves, it's not your fault - it's a family trait. Meanwhile it's part of school history, so they kept it in the school. More specifically, it was a class gift from a departing class. Most likely did not consider it a "prayer". |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 5:53pm - STLUCIFUREVA ""] Warwick has a museum in Apponaug . That is where this banner belongs before the court orders it to be shredded . |
| _______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:00pm - hlrie ""] I'm an atheist. I would be that twat to make sure this shit was taken down as well. Fight me about it. Be religious if you want, but if you put it in my face or in the face of others in a public place paid for by tax payers, it is a fucking violation. Written, posted, spoken, whatever, it's a violation of Separation of Church and State. PERIOD, end of story. Moving on... Any person who thinks this or any other prayer has a place in a public school, whether spoken or posted, understands nothing about the separation of church and state. |

RETARD. :middlefinger: I didn't say they don't exist, did I? They're not the norm, or to be expected, thus refuting the Yeti family's entire line of logic. I inferred that not having one is a good reason not to put the banner there. And LO, they don't have one. Who woulda thunk? |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:20pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] this is fun. we're having a good time. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:30pm - yummy ""] I doubt anybody would've considered this ending up in a museum until any of this. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:32pm - Pires ""] Ok. Fuck this cunt. The news just said they asked to interview this idiot, and her PUBLICIST said she was unavailable for comment all weekend. |

| _______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:39pm - Aril ""] I banned myself. Maybe the trolls banned themselves too? |
| __________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:41pm - Samefag ""] yummy said:I doubt anybody would've considered this ending up in a museum until any of this. Certainly not the seventh grader that wrote it on the bus before school so he could turn it in for class 50 years ago. Who would have thought? |
| ________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:47pm - burnsy ""] All the butthurt Cranstonian's should just where the fucking t-shirt with the prayer on it. Express your religion within your rights that no atheist can take away from you. Problem solved. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:47pm - hlrie ""] I love that this girl who did the correct thing, whether she is an atheist or not, and fought for what is just and protected, is receiving death threats and needs protection from the public for which she stood up to defend. Awesome. Some douche should get on their knees and pray for more people to do what she did and stand up. Without the proper protections provided by the separation of church and state your churches will have to pay taxes, claim their income with the federal government as income, and justify tax exemptions like all other businesses. That happens and say good-bye to your organized religious organizations. Damn these people need to educate themselves. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 6:55pm - burnsy ""] FWIW, this girl didn't do all that much from the way the article reads. She was the poster child of the suit. She didn't say anything at first. A parent submitted a complaint to the ACLU. Girl speaks at the hearings. ACLU asks girl to be plaintiff of suit. Done deal. Just a poster child. |

The original complaint came from someone that was neither a student at the school nor a parent of one. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 7:00pm - burnsy ""] It reads "a parent who remained anonymous." Either way, I don't give this girl too much credit. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 7:05pm - arktouros ""] The girl may just be a borderline fascist for all we know. A panel of arguably corrupt experts on American law decided it for us, so that's that. A lot of anonymous fucking coward going on in this thread. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 27,2012 7:09pm - hlrie ""] It seems she got up and spoke at each hearing on the case and was a plaintiff. Doesn't matter if she spearheaded removing the thing, she has now become associated with the case so much that she needs protection from others. The point is that separation is there to protect churches, not really atheists or agnostics. If these morons understood what is truly being protected, they would shut up about prayer in schools. Or put it in schools and be prepared for government intervention in religion. |

Did you miss history class? It's meant to keep the CHURCH from interfering with the government, not the other way around. You also keep bringing up separation of church and state like it's interchangeable with out constitutional right to freedom of religion. Two different things, retard, as close as they may be. |

Yeah, that makes total sense. Especially over "trivial" issues like separation of church and state. You are false. |

| __________________________________ [Jan 27,2012 7:43pm - Samefag ""] Comprehension help for you: I edited your comments to focus on the HIGH HORSE. Note I took out the whole part about the threats, retard. The girl doesn't deserve to be threatened and harmed, you're right. However, she's established her agenda and stepped on a lot of toes, and for what gain? So the four hours a year the students spend in the Auditorium is spent watching the talent show instead of being threatened by the big bad in your face prayer in school? Thank god she saved us! |
