Good job TL forumgoers.
95% of TL forum-goers are 18-24 year old walking egos with something to prove. The best part is that I can know without even reading the 45 pages of bullshit that they're all atheists, playing devil's advocate and pedantically quibbling over minutia to prove each other wrong and gain some imagined higher ground.

Can't tell if true or trolling. You're literally saying so should never take any risks to make the world a better place.

Hey guys, 1 person wants to cause problems for a lot of people. He's right because it's the law. That's America. Prayer in school causes problems, that's why there is a law against it. For who exactly? People who don't want to pray? A single part of the religious groups called Atheism? Other religions who pray in separate ways? I want to know exactly why praying in school is/should be against the law.
Regardless of why it's illegal, the fact stands that it is illegal. If these guys are bothered that their school won't be holding a school-wide prayer anymore then they should take it to court, not punish the one guy who pointed out that it's illegal.

Kid's praying in school on their on volition is fine and legal, government, or school sponsored prayer promoting a certain religion certainly isn't, and if you can't see why then wow.

So it's against the law for a school to say, "At this time we'd like everyone to pray." But it's not against the law for people to pray whenever they want in school or opt out of praying. Makes no sense to me. Now if they were directly forcing people to pray, as in, "If you don't pray you'll fail." I'd consider this law just in my own views.

- On one side is the short term financial support and a few curse words from some religious fanatics
vs
- On the other hand is improving long term freedom of choice for the whole nation
IMHO it's much closer to Rosa Sparks case than to go hand-to-hand with armed people.

If the majority wants to prayer, they ARE in the right. Because one kid doesn't like it he was willing to report the situation to the state/government and have the entire thing locked down.

The parents were over reacting to what their son did. But disowning him is going too far. Sweeping generalization of an entire group of people? Check Ad hominem? Check Objection to a kid reporting a clear violation of the law and constitution? Check Complete fail? Check Sweeping Generalization because it's true. Funny how that works. Objecting because he was willing to cause problems for a lot of people. Causing problems for the whole is definitely in the wrong in my views. You forgot how the prayer was illegal ? Hey guys, 1 person wants to cause problems for a lot of people. He's right because it's the law. That's America. Prayer in school causes problems, that's why there is a law against it. For who exactly? People who don't want to pray? A single part of the religious groups called Atheism? Other religions who pray in separate ways? I want to know exactly why praying in school is/should be against the law. Kid's praying in school on their on volition is fine and legal, government, or school sponsored prayer promoting a certain religion certainly isn't, and if you can't see why then wow. So it's against the law for a school to say, "At this time we'd like everyone to pray." But it's not against the law for people to pray whenever they want in school or opt out of praying. Makes no sense to me. Now if they were directly forcing people to pray, as in, "If you don't pray you'll fail." I'd consider this law just in my own views.

Editing how, exactly? That's literally what you said and it says a lot. You obviously have no understanding of the world around you other than America = Christianity.

I'm surprised the guy had the courage to stand up, I certainly would not have the courage to speak out, but thankfully I live in a liberal area so even if the majority is religious it doesn't matter.
These kind of incidents shouldn't happen but they do. Religion is inherently divisive because it plays up the morality of one group over the other. I watch an Atheist call in show called "The Atheist Experience" and the fear of being outed as an atheist seems to be a common problem they hear from callers and those who email the show. The main host Matt Dilahunty's fiance's family shuns her and him because he hosts an atheist call show so he "works for the devil." Which is of course ridiculous as atheists reject all deities and if atheists really did work for the devil you would think they would get better funding for the show.

The Rosa Parks case was for another majority(Blacks) against the current majority(Whites).
This case is for a minority(Atheism) against a majority(Religion).

I think it would have been better if the kid just drank a massive bottle of ipecac before the ceremony and when the prayer started he just began projectile vomiting over everyone. Actually that's just a scenario that made me laugh thinking about it his way was probably better/more mature. :-/

You'd be surprised what some of the schools in the south are like. In high school I said religion was all about money and I had kids I wouldn't even expect to be Jesus-y get all on my case.

Heavy. Tough rap. Why can't we all just get along hey. I dare say things could have been handled better on both sides but this kid definitely got the raw end of the deal.

Because a public official for the school isn't suppose to support one religion over the other, and waste class time with that nonsense, have you ever heard of a constitution? Separation of church and state? Do you seriously not see any repercussions in supporting one kid's religious views in a class and spitting on the others? Yes that won't cause problems.
