How to Hurt an Atheist

[Praxeas]

A federal judge has ordered a Texas school district to prohibit public prayer at a high school graduation ceremony.


Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery’s order against the Medina Valley Independent School District also forbids students from using specific religious words including “prayer” and “amen.”


The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by Christa and Danny Schultz. Their son is among those scheduled to participate in Saturday’s graduation ceremony. The judge declared that the Schultz family and their son would “suffer irreparable harm” if anyone prayed at the ceremony.

How is this kid going to make it in the real world. Watch out if a Muslim puts their rug down and prays in front of him. It happened to a friend of mine at a lab where she was waiting to get her blood drawn. She left.

If I was God and I believed in the tornado is going to get you theory...just say'n.............

As a Jewish kid listening to and even participating in prayers during public school hours and functions I can say it did me no harm, actually it let me know that God is available to everyone....

The Muslim religion is accepted because it doesn't convict of sin like the name of Jesus or his written word. The Muslims teach conversion by progression and not repentance now.
They teach that their god will start a progress that will cleanse them..
Our religion says, Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, turn from your wicked ways. And all that is in present tense which means do it now.
Hell is going to be a big place. Someone told me once that God had to enlarge it once already. I don't know where that is in the bible, but the person who told it to me would have known.

As opposed to the majority? Craziness! How does ONE family get to have their way?

On the news tonight, it was reported John Cornyn (R-TX) was standing behind the school district in appealing the ruling, as is the school's valedictorian. I commend them both, as it is absolutely absurd ONE person made many suffer.

Two or three in the audience should stand and recite the Lords Prayer most would join them, and the judge's "order" would be a joke.
