Do you post without thinking or base your posts on your prejudices?

muslim can be used as if something does not have allah and mohommad in it, then you are unbelievers and can be killed for being evil.

So basically this tramp gets to choose for everybody then cries when people treat her the same way.
Oh wait she probably isn't a tramp because my guess is NO ONE wants anything to do with her, THAT is what she is upset about.

There is NO such thing as separation of Church and State.

And for all you atheist, you can shove it. Crap like this happens to Christians everyday. Matter fact, it's been happening for over 1000 years. Christians have always been ostracized by society and nobody ever had anything to say. Now that your getting the same treatment all of you people are coming out the woodworks. Spare me your sob stories. She's getting exactly what she deserves. The girl is an idiot.
Oh cry me a river... lots of people have been persecuted, many (most) to a MUCH more serious degree than the Christians. Not that any persecution should be accepted, but I'm getting really sick of the complex some Christians have today. And calling a child an idiot? Real classy and Jesus-like of you.

I wonder if the situation were reversed, and it were a Christian girl being harassed for standing her ground... would you be calling her an idiot too, and saying she's getting what she deserves? I'm guessing you would not, in fact I bet you'd be livid over anyone saying such things to her.

Welcome to Atheism...where nothing matters but making sure that the few short years here on Earth are free from personal responsibility or consequence, and where hurt feelings are criminal actions that require society to change its ways.

The only upside is that you fools get to rot in hell. Remember, it was your choice.....and you DID have a choice.
Ignorance is bliss, I suppose... must be nice having a fantasy to believe in, but some of us are more concerned with reality. And fyi, only a weak or evil person cannot behave themselves without the threat of hell and damnation. The good Atheists & non-Christians (and Christians) don't need threats or fear to be decent people - they just are.

This is what the banner said....

Our Heavenly Father. Grant us each day the desire to do our best.
To grow mentally and morally as well as physically.
To be kind and helpful to our classmates and teachers.
To be honest with ourselves as well as with others.
Help us to be good sports and smile when we lose as well as when we win.
Teach us the value of true friendship.
Help us always to conduct ourselves so as to bring credit to Cranston High School West.

Amen.



To me it doesn't look very offensive at all. And I'm not really a religious person.

She demanded it taken down, and now people don't like her and don't want to do business with her. I can't say that I blame them. Even though I think she was somewhat used as a pawn in this whole ordeal. She still seemed like she was more eager to make a point than that she was truly offended by it. I don't think people should threaten her by any means, but I feel that she is obviously unwelcome in her community and should probably go elsewhere.

I see quite a bit of cheek-turning and forgiveness in this thread

If someone ever wanted to do an essay on the hypocrisy of most religious people, this website would be a gold mine.

With every loopy post like yours, I become more aware of how many crazies are out there and how much guts it took for Jessica to fight this case to the end.

Now that the ACLU has a feather in their cap over this I wonder how supportive they'll be to this girl with the backlash she's getting from her community.
