    3. Minding businesses causes situations to fall into the issues we are facing today. Hell no, speak up, our voice together matters. Minding businesses is just a nice way to say, shut up and do what the suits tell you to and how to act. NOPE!

    2. Why is it that so called “devout” Christians always ignore the words of Jesus? How much clearer could his words be?

      Matthew 6:
      5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

      One of the characteristics of most Christians in the US is that they don’t actually follow Jesus, and ignore almost everything he said and taught.

  3. “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.”

    1. @Sexual Harassment Panda you obviously just hate all Christians which is the same as hating all Muslims or Jews. I don’t think there’s any point in even talking. Take care.

    3. @Sledzeppelin Your comment is ridiculous there’s no way Democrats wouldn’t support Muslims. Everyone knows it including you maybe you’re just joking

  4. Praying for civilians who’re suffering from indiscriminate rocket attacks on both sides of the Ukraine conflict.

  5. Can’t wait until an atheist coach/teacher holds “a moment of silence & thought” & then sues when they are fired for promoting a “religious” belief.

    People celebrating this unAmerican decision have no idea what’s coming, & that the separation of church & state protects both the religious & nonreligious.

    1. Progressive Humanist, what a handle lol. There is a nice little read, its called the US Constitution. Its fantastic, I would tell you about it, but I don’t want to spoil it for you.

    1. @Thornboy🥀 Yes, I am finding it hard to see any problems with this ruling. As the coach said, even if it were a Muslim or whatever religion it doesn’t matter. If the person prays it is just a reflection of their personality and culture. If they force all of their subordinates to participate or give advantages to those who voluntarily participate, then that is an entirely different issue.

    2. Do they not allow football players to pray anymore? I haven’t heard anything about it but yes they will have the right to pray just like all Americans have the right to exercise their religious beliefs. This is not just a big win for football it’s a big win for the United States of America.

    4. @Em D the original comment is referencing how taking a knee during the national anthem in protest of this country is ok, to the left and democrats, but praying after a football game is not.

  7. LOOK AT ME EVERYBODY!!! LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! (The man needs to take a look at Matthew 6:5.)

  9. My opinion is that the word please and thank you are prayers.,🙏 Kneeling and praying are meditation, also a ritual. there is a difference when you publicly meditate on your knees, you could stand close your eyes and meditate. But the gentleness of your meditation should not be for ego. That’s why there is a lawsuit by this man. It was not prayers.

  10. Either YouTube can’t get rid of the “Fuk what you saying it here 😠” robot on CNN posts or they don’t want to do so….😄

  11. Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

    BUT PLEASE, OH LORD, HELP US WIN THIS MID-SEASON HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME!!!

  12. Dear Lord I need an organ transplan….”SHHHHH it’s on the 2 yard line and the defense team’s coach is making Me a Hella Deal. It’s H.S. football so you’ll have to wait.”

  15. Better headline: High school coach loses 80 percent of his games. Realizes the lord hates his team. 🙏

  16. So, he’s multiple denomination?
    Or, is this a carve out?
    The Court’s corruption cannot be ignored.
    Who provided the funds?

  19. But – as believer’s – remember this – prayer: is to be attended for – as in private.
