Again, people are already praying NOW...and the injuries are stacking up higher than ever.
Why do you have a problem if they do? I don't have a problem if you DON'T pray. See the difference? What is this girl from Italy wearing? Olympics are becoming softcore porn...........pray for that to end.

In order for the world to be without religion, human life would no longer exist. So, the question is whether the world would be better off without humans.

Religion would be awesome without humans mucking it up.

Precisely. The University of Connecticut obviously believes that Jesus does not belong in the huddle and I seriously doubt that he would have had to resign if students had not complained. This is a state university based on secular principles. Notre Dame is a catholic institution--big difference. Why should a diverse student population of a public university have to deal with religious proselytizing? It was a very reasonable that he leave if he could not stay on-topic with his students.

What would be the reason you think yourself capable of dictating what others do? It makes me uncomfortable.

I could either ignore it or I could make sure someone pays dearly for my discomfort. I should NEVER be made to feel uncomfortable!! I think it's unconstitutional for someone to make me feel uncomfortable. I think I'll sue. That's the new American way.

By '' resign '' you mean forced to leave by liberal PC bullies who find God, Jesus, and anything that is good and moral to be offensive?

Not that I'm saying liberals don't have morals or are not good people, but the Marxists who run the Universities are seriously out of line with the real world. Political Correctness is nothing more than an attempt to destroy the first Amendment. You cannot believe in the Freedom of Speech and support this man's resignation.

It would be different if he forced people to pray, but he didn't. Just over sensitive liberals getting bent out of shape over nothing again. If someone praying seriously offends you than you have some serious problems Lol.

I have no doubt the Earth would be better off without humans. And I have no doubt humans would be better off without embracing superstition and trying to make everyone live by their particular brand of superstition. Whether humanity can advance to that level of intelligence is up for debate.
