No, it is in fact a public public school with no religious affiliation whatsoever. Don't get me going on the Catholic school system. It's not healthy to foam at the mouth.

Aren't all Evangelicals already Republicans? It appears that the GOP has a redundancy problem.

Too meta for me. RE: Typically, using my own special organizational system, things that are on the \"top shelf\" are usually 3-6 months from being thrown out.<br /><br />---

I did not mean to suggest that the school -- or the kid, for that matter -- could be held legally liable. I was actually responding to your remark "I couldn't care less if a student gets up to give a prayer so long as it's not hate speech even at a school-sponsored event".

And a shorter response is: "I do care about that. I don't like it."

"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, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

-Matthew 6:5-6

The thing that gets me about that story is that, ok great. Sons, I get it. But, in order to continue the family line, doesn't someone need daughters or will the new moms eventually fuck their sons?

Oh, wait...duh! South Carolina!

I don't think it's a good idea to see the words "catholic priest" and "pegged" in the same sentence this early in the morning.

Modern Christianity:

♫You've got to accentuate the positive / Eliminate the negative / And latch on to the affirmative / Don't mess with Mister In-Between ♫

The sad thing is it's very likely that none of these people has ever been oppressed or persecuted. One of my more holy acquintances ranted about Christians being persecuted in this country, all because her kids school couldn't have a taxpayer funded manger scene outside and prayers in the morning,

Persecution = having your head hacked off f when the authorities discover you have a bible in your house. It's when they round you up and put you in a camp and kill you. It's not when you WAAAAAAHHH don't get to have a manger scene and pre-school prayers.
