That's just horrible. I may believe in God, but I don't believe in religion, and saying the lords prayer at school, I would reject to that because religion is too damn corrupt these days and I honor God in my own way.

Poor Nicole. i've met people who have done similar acts to put me down or hurt me because i am an atheist, but an entire school (or at least a portion of the school)? outrageous. my sympathies go out to her.

Hey, your personal beliefs are just that: PERSONAL. Keep them to yourselves and let everyone else do the same.

Someone who was different was made fun of in high-school, go figure.

Seriously though, I don't expect much from kids in middle or high school, but if the teachers and coaches were really belittling that girl because she's not a Christian they need a boot to the ass.

Hilarious because its true. Seriously though, the anonymity of the intrawebs is the main reason I think. They don't want to get made fun of (judging from the movie as well, most wouldn't do what the girl did)

because its one of the only places where they can openly discuss it, w/o fear of insult (it would be against TOS if someone did) and because Athiests don't usually gather together for discussion in a church or whatever (the exception being in the vid, they had that convention thing)

In my personal life I am only careful about how I breech the subject of not believing in a god because I don't want to come across as being hostile towards those who do. Saying, "Meh, I don't believe in God" can really put a believer on the defensive.

I've only had my beliefs interfere with one relationship that I know of. Someone was asking me about my religious perspective on abortion. I expressed that I wasn't a spiritual person and that I was pro-choice. She said, "I will pray for you" and walked away. So lame, but I expect as much from self-righteous asshats. All but one of my friend's are ether Christian, Jewish or Muslim and we all manage to get along just fine.

I just don't get people who can't be friends due to religious or political differences. I swear I know 40 year olds who have yet to become "grown ups."

Again, I disagree. I don't think people say, "I'm an atheist, but I'm afraid to admit it. I know, I'll go talk about it on the GS OT forums."

I guess the reason is because their different beliefs make them feel good, and the sheer fact that other people can't accept their belief system is a bad thing to them.

you're talking about it as if its conscious thought, its not actually, its sub-conscious. And by places, I should have been more clear, I meant the internet, but more specifically the GS forums because of the rules and regulations that prohibit flaming.

You disagree with both of my posts, yet you have no answer as to why it seems a large portion of users are indeed athiests when only 6 percent of America is (I know other countries come to this site, but the fact still remains valid).

Its not just "because".

It's mainly the south that's religious. So many different sects of Christianity here. So so many churches.

I think it's pretty common in the southern states. I know that at all of the games the band prayed before they performed their drill. It was kind of an uncomfortable situation.

Here in Colorado, you have to believe in God if you want to be a public figure. Unless you live in Boulder. And even there you can get caught in a witch hunt (Ward Churchill).

Religion has NO place in a public school. I wouldn't be suprised if this law suit goes as high as a state court or maybe even the supreme (ya i cant spell) court. But their suit won't get far in a county court room.

You can't honor God in your own way and reject the Lord's prayer in school. That's denying God. And as far as honoring God in your own way, the Bible clearly states not to forsake gathering together which means you should be going to church on a regular basis. You're not a true believer and follower of Jesus based on your own statements.

I play Raptor Jesus.

Also, teachers who tell children to get out because of their belief in God, well, they shouldn't be teaching.

I summon Raptor Jesus into play.
