Student Demands Constitution Be Enforced; Christians Whine

Bastrop, La. —For the first time ever, prayer will not be part of graduation ceremonies Friday night at Bastrop High School.

Principal Stacey Pullen said the school received an e-mail on Tuesday from a student who identied themself as an atheist.

“They said if we included a traditional prayer in the ceremony that they would contact the (American Civil Liberties Union),” Pullen said. “We asked our attorney about it, and we are making changes to the program.”

Not only are school officials dropping the prayer from the ceremony, they are being forced to have the programs for the evening’s events reprinted at a cost Pullen said is undetermined at this time.

Mitzi Quinn has been on the staff at BHS for almost 25 years, much of that time as a senior advisor. In the past, Quinn said there have been students who were atheist, agnostic and other non-Christian religions who “had no problems” with the prayer.

“They respected the majority of their classmates and didn’t say anything,” Quinn said. “We’ve never had this come up before. Never.”

Are the Religious Capable of Respect?

Isn't the entire point of monotheistic religion that those who believe in a particular religion are the only ones who will be rewarded in the afterlife and that all others will go to hell? Certainly, “polite” believers will not go out of their way to point that out, but it is very clear in their holy books that disbelievers are destined for eternal torture. If someone is required to believe that all but their co-religionists are hell bound, regardless of how ethical they are or how much they say they love them, I find it difficult to believe that such a person can treat “non-believers” with respect.

To quote truth-saves.com, “Most Christians are Moderate Christians, those who take the Bible in moderation. They tend to only treat select claims as truth, the claims related to what they are seeking answers on. Regardless they still claim the Bible, in its entirety, is the inerrant inspired word of an infallible god. Because of this they are still making it socially acceptable to act upon all of the Bible's claims as truth.”

I propose that when you, the polite, sane, moderate Christian claim that the Bible is the word of a god, you are guilty of giving intellectual cover and complete license to those who take the entire Bible at its word (instead of cherry-picking the nice parts) to enact its Neolithic dictates in all of their barbarity.
