Do these people honestly have NOTHING better to do? I mean, NO ONE on the damn team complained about anything. If these people want to lose all credibility and piss off even more people, they are on the right track by going up against southern football.

Atheist Group Files Complaint Against Clemson Football

Just a snippet from the article:

Quote:The FFRF is asking Clemson to “immediately stop team prayers, sermons, Bible studies and ‘church days’ for players and train staff about their First Amendment obligations.” The group referred to the coaches holding prayer and bible studies as coercive behavior.

I'm sure someone on the team complained.... And sadly this will get traction like it did with app state.

At a point it becomes about preventing free expression.

Seems that would be a pretty big point for the press to point out. There was no mention of it in the article.

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't Clemson a private school?

If someone in the team reported this, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PARTICIPATE.

No, it's a land grant public university.

Southern football is probably about as close to religiously based as any college sport but prayers where no more a part of my college athletics experience than the man in the moon.

As long as participation in religious rituals isn't forced, have at it.

Attention Atheists. Get out of the South. Don't move to the region and complain. If you don't like the religious undertones, get your crap, load the Honda and get the hell out.

That sort of ain't how it works.

Fact: Every Hail Mary pass hurts the feelings of atheists.

I never thought I'd get to this point, but ..... EXACTLY. Get out of town if you can't stand the mere mention of God. God believing people should hound atheists with scripture everywhere they go...since, it sooooo offends them. I am just tired of that BS.

The state of Alabama's deity of choice.

That is a terrible idea and not remotely how to win friends and influence people.

They will pipe down when people tell them to buzz off. Instead we have universities, organizations and institutions cowering to them. They have become a national pest that can now dictate what happens across state lines. Why even have states when a New York based atheist group can sue regarding the activities in Georgia.

F the so called atheists. They are nothing but an anti Christian movement that lives on the internet.

Those people aren't "friends" and not worth the time to try and "influence". I mean, it's like they look for content people that have no issue with religion and try to stir up trouble just to appease themselves. It's no different than a toddler poking his content sister trying to get a reaction. It's childish.

For every atheist that is anti-Christian, there are 99 who don't give a sh!t as long as you don't bother them.

And for every obnoxious bible thumper, there are 1,000 that leave people alone to live their own lives.
