How to Hurt an Atheist

[Praxeas]

A federal judge has ordered a Texas school district to prohibit public prayer at a high school graduation ceremony.


Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery’s order against the Medina Valley Independent School District also forbids students from using specific religious words including “prayer” and “amen.”


The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by Christa and Danny Schultz. Their son is among those scheduled to participate in Saturday’s graduation ceremony. The judge declared that the Schultz family and their son would “suffer irreparable harm” if anyone prayed at the ceremony.

How is this kid going to make it in the real world. Watch out if a Muslim puts their rug down and prays in front of him. It happened to a friend of mine at a lab where she was waiting to get her blood drawn. She left.

If I was God and I believed in the tornado is going to get you theory...just say'n.............

As a Jewish kid listening to and even participating in prayers during public school hours and functions I can say it did me no harm, actually it let me know that God is available to everyone....

If she left then there is cause for concern ...if a Muslims prayer can hurt , then just think of what a Christian's prayer could possibly do to an athiest..

I have a problem with those who want to be seen prayin.. and you can tell that's all they want, since they are willing to press the matter in court..We have too much church on our shoulders in America..Madiline murry Ohair sued and offended every right winged Christun in the country..when she stopped prayer in public schools through the Supreme Court decision in 62. but she lost her son whom she sued for when he became a Christian...And Christians
lost their manners , showing themselves to be but carnal..Prayer in public schools would probably continued the false belief that we're Christians by birth in this country..a lie that continues to plague most of this 80% Christian, 47 billion dollar alcohol guzzling population..

The Muslim religion is accepted because it doesn't convict of sin like the name of Jesus or his written word. The Muslims teach conversion by progression and not repentance now.
They teach that their god will start a progress that will cleanse them..
Our religion says, Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, turn from your wicked ways. And all that is in present tense which means do it now.
Hell is going to be a big place. Someone told me once that God had to enlarge it once already. I don't know where that is in the bible, but the person who told it to me would have known.

LOL. I immediately thought of the same verse.

... though, it does say that "hell" (sheol or the grave; "death") has enlarged itself. Austin's friend seems to have been implying that God had expanded a place of eternal torment because the "original" didn't have enough room.

You could probably hurt an atheist with a sledge hammer.
