Hundreds Rally to Support LFO Cheerleaders

What was this country founded off of, if it werent chrisitanity?

Would someone please enlighten me on what glory to God can come from football... I'm not God or an angel or anything close so I can't speak for Him, but I have a sneaky suspicion that God doesn't give a rats behind about football :0)

How about instead of fighting over stupid banners, you go out and show what it truly means to be a Christian. Christians can spread God's word much more efficently if they go out and do works of Christ- like helping with the flood cleanup, helping out homeless people, etc. All this time and money that has been spent on debating whether or not banners with scripture on them should be on a football field could have actually gone to some good. Stop claiming you are a Christian and go out and show it. Take this as a loss, and try to show people your religion other ways.

For those of you who have already posted comments saying questioning that if a muslim person or a person of any other religion besides Christianity showed their religion that they would get into so much trouble YOU ARE WRONG. If you can't already tell by my first sentence I AM a Christian and I am PROUD of it. What I am saying is that you people are misled. If any other religion had done something like that I can assure you that nothing would have happened or at least nothing worse than what is going on right now. Religion is Religion and like the Constitution says we should not discriminate based on religion and that is what is going on with the LFO cheerleaders. People are getting mad at them because they posted up scriptures on signs and isn't that discriminatoin based on religion? For the few of those people out there that if having a verse on a sign that the team runs through offends you,I am sorry. There are probably many more people out there that love the scripture and DON'T want you to try to change anything that the cheerleaders have done. I am very proud of the LFO cheerleaders and students who are forming up rallies to support scripture.HOORAY! to you all and God Bless.

It sure seems funny to me all you southerners spouting about the constitution, freedom and what not. About how this is America. Hey, didnt YALL seceed from the UNITED STATES of AMERICA? Want bible verses? Go to church. As Salaam Alaiekum. No wonder the Koran calls you infidels.

Guess what, guys? It doesn't matter if every single student and parent in the school supported this, you can't endorse any one religion at a public school event! And another newsflash - they're not violating YOUR rights. You don't HAVE a right to use a public school venue to display Bible verses. The law doesn't back you up, past precedent doesn't back you up, and the Supreme Court doesn't back you up. You know why? 'Cause you're flat-out wrong on this one.

It just goes to show that anywhere people are enjoying themselves, some liberal nutjob will stand up and claim to be offended by it... Im so sick of you liberal pinkos. If you dont understand why there was ever prayer in schools or why religion is important, then thats something you will someday answer for. Put simply, If you are offended by this or any other display of religion... DONT GO! STAY AWAY! Enjoy your sad, empty life quietly by yourself.

Should students of other faiths have an equal opportunity to present similar messages?

To those of you saying that if this was any other religion the signs would not have been questioned, let me ask you this: If Muslim students got together and put up banners from the Qu'ran or Jewish students put up banners from the Torah, you wouldn't have a problem with it? Please. There are people complaining because immigrants from the Middle East built a place to play cricket. By allowing one religion to display their beliefs, you then must allow all religions. A public school football game should not be turned into the war of the religions- it should be an outlet for fun and competition. When the Founding Fathers came to America, they were trying to escape religious persecution. That is why they decided to put into place the separation of church and state. By only displaying one religion's message, you are essentially doing what they were trying to escape. If the students want to join a religious based club, then by all means go for it- off of publicly funded and sponsored school events. They can still wear their shirts. But if they want to put it on a football field then they need to go to a religious based school- not a public one.

Has anyone stoped to think for a moment the desicration of the Holy Scripture here! Ripping through a verse from the Bible? What does that really say about the reverence and respect for the Holy Scriptures? Sounds like another ploy for the religious right to be vindicated in an "press op". Just leave God out of it and go on with your lives!

Looks like I'm not alone with this one. I've had multiple people tell me I need to contact FOX and tell them about The Cheer Leader at this school Lauren Alaina Suddeth. You see she just released a Patriotic song titled MY KIND OF COUNTRY and it pretty mush tells America how she's proud to be from the USA...The song is worthy of giving it a listen and the video is even better. So heres a link to Laurens song...If you like it pass it on. You might have to copy and paste it.

Sorry Guest, but you are absolutely wrong. Had it been any other religion, no one would have questioned it. In fact, it probably would have been endorsed. But because it is Christianity, it has become an issue.

Yes, it DOES remove freedom of religion. The original idea of the constitution was to prevent government from dictating religion - allowing students to print a sign and hold it up at a public, school-organized event is in no way an example of government dictating religion. No one is forced to look at that sign, any more than I am forced to look at pornography.

Once upon a time this country was majority rule. Sadly, the majority must now walk on eggshells to avoid offending the fragile sensibilities of the minority - who are in no way hurt by a simple banner.

Why can't these people grasp the concept of "separation of church & state"?
Their rights are not being infringed upon. It does not take away their freedom of religion! If anything they are infringing on others rights to not have other people's religion shoved in their faces on the property of a FEDERAL establishment.
Had this been any other religion other than Christianity, these people would have rallied together to make sure that those signs were banned in a New York minute!
