Football fans were not on board with a Georgia school district’s decision to prohibit pre-game prayer. God-hating bullies in the Freedom From Religion Foundation were behind the move, threatening to sue if individuals were allowed to freely express their religious beliefs.
Through its convoluted, skewed interpretation of America’s guiding documents, the FFRF alleges such prayers are unconstitutional. Apparently, Haralson County school administrators either agreed or felt the issue did not warrant their resistance.
The resiliency of believers, however, was on display at a subsequent game. Wearing pro-prayer T-shirts, hundreds of students and their parents showed up to join in a prayer before kickoff.
Since the prayers are not being broadcast over the loudspeakers (and thus are not school-sponsored), it seems this group of praying football fans beat the anti-prayer bigots at FFRF at their own game. In theory, the hatemongers wanted to quash all public prayers; in reality, they just gave praying football fans a common cause and renewed dedication to show up early for the pre-game invocation.
This isn’t the first time FFRF has used this scare tactic against schools for precisely the same reason. Almost exactly a year before the Georgia incident, just as football season was warming up, the group forced a Kentucky school district to end its tradition of beginning games with a prayer.
Despite social media backlash and a huge majority in favor of the tradition, administrators decided surrendering to the foundation’s atheist will was the most prudent choice.
Instead of inviting (not forcing) attendees to join in a prayer for the safety of the players on the field and U.S. troops around the world, FFRF was successful in silencing the Pentecostal pastor who had led the prayer for the previous two decades.
Knowing their contention that allowing prayer is tantamount to endorsing a religion is extraordinarily tenuous, these godless creeps resort to using the mere threat of a lawsuit to force the hand of spineless officials.
One group of Georgians spoke for the silent majority of believers in this country when they proudly stood up for faith and freedom at that high school football game. They proved that the silent majority won’t stay silent indefinitely!

Great to hear there are still people that have a backbone and stand up for our rights. We need to get "our America" back the way it used to be.
Good for them, it's about time Americans stand up for OUR rights and stick to American values!!
FFRF needs to be sued for violating our right to pray! turn the tables on these marxist heatherens. Im proud of these Americans for standing tall againest the bullies!
Here is a GOOD law signed by Pres Reagan see Public Law 97-280 4 Oct 1982…YES They should be sued!! Lets get er done!!
The FFRF is a bunch of low life losers. All they believe in is after someone shots your sorry ash for trying to stop prayer at sporting events, then its time for someone to pray that your sorry ash dies from the bullet someone put into your non-believer in GOD sorry, low life body. We have to get this country back on track, stop letting the 15% non-believers try & wreck our country. Its time for the 85% believers in GOD to stand up & start kicking some the 15% ashes of the low life losers. GOD HELP AMERICA!!! IN GOD WE STILL TRUST!!
IT is because of bigotted idiots like this that the U.S.A. is in the trouble it is in! Madeline Murray Ohare tried the same thing and got prayer removed from school…one little bigotted minority is "APARTIED" remember that term…the MINORITY of a few pecercent telling the majority that God and prayer are illegal! To "HELL" w/that line of thought! ITs God on nothing! TELL the freedom from religion they are free to do what they want, but shut your stinking mouth about what I do!!! As for me….I choose to serve the LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!
Amen!!!

Thanks there Seeks, I think I will. But too, we should all of us, EVERY CHRISTIAN out there, and ALL OF US WHO BELEIVE THAT JESUS WAS BORN IN A MANGER, and WAS THE SON OF GOD, we should, I am, put up NATIVITY SCENES IN OUR FRONT YARDS! And then HOPE some dimwitted, stupid atheist comes along and has a problem with it…………..well, we could GIVE them A REAL PROBLEM OR TWO! Private Property, and if they do not understand what Private means, explain it to them, along with how Jesus came to earth as a baby in a manger, and grew up to die for us all, including their sorry butts, die on the Cross for lost souls, just like theirs is unless they turn from their wicked ways, and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior! I assure you, THIS year, I am going to put a NATIVITY SCENE RIGHT IN MY FRONT YARD, SO THAT THOSE WHO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD HERE CAN SEE IT! That’s right, tell me I CAN”T do something, and that WILL BE EXACTLY WHAT I DO! And, if someone doesn’t like it, they can either kiss my butt, or BITE ME! I have two dogs who might retaliate, and as long as I have a “beware of dog”, (and my dogs have their rabies shots) sign in my driveway, no one can sue or do a thing about it. A police officer told me that, the sign is a must in order to avoid a law suit, or problems over dogs. Of course, I live in a very conservative town, where there are LOTS of Nativity Scenes, but just in case you know, someone may need to hear the Real Story Behind the Birth of Our Jesus Christ. It never hurts to spread the Good News!
But, thanks for this address.
