Not Just Another Praying Football Coach

 

"Hey Coach, pretend like you are praying so we can get a picture".

Well, ya gotta give the Supreme Court credit - right out of the gate they are letting us know what we can expect for the next 8, 10, 30 years.  It is truly Christmas in July for Conservative Christians.  It seems if they can get their case, any case, before the Supreme's, they will likely win.

Honestly, on this one, I really don't give a $h!t.  The only thing more stupid than a school board firing a coach for praying at mid field surrounded by his team - is - a coach actually believing that he is doing something constructive, meaningful, or worthwhile by praying at mid field, or praying period.  

This entire fiasco was a complete waste of time and resources.  Who knows how much money was spent, on both sides, over the past 7 years since Joe Kennedy was fired from his coaching job.  And pretty much all that has been accomplished is Christians have been able to feed their already obese persecution complex.  

What I would like to know is this - where are the Christians, you know, the ones who actually care what the bible says, and why aren't they quoting the bible to Coach Joe?????  It seems to me that he either doesn't know what his bible says, or just doesn't care:

But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Matthew 6:6

This is Jesus speaking.  Is this verse to difficult to understand?  I can understand it perfectly, so it has to be obvious.  What is even more obvious is that Coach Joe and his multitude of supporters don't care what the bible says.  In spite of this bible verse they want to pray out-loud, in public, for all to see and hear.  

Hmmm, on 2nd thought, if they pray at the end of the game, those that have no interest in watching this useless display will have an easier time getting out of the parking lot.

Never mind, yall just keep on praying.
