Every Friday at High School Football Games
all across Texas, A Prayer is said in the locker
room by BOTH Teams led by the Coach.
then the WHOLE Stadium stands for the
National Anthem followed by a
Prayer led by a Preacher or Deacon.
Usually "Our Father"
Texan's don't fool around when it
comes to GOD or JESUS..
I've seen people get punched out
for disrepect when it comes to GOD
and The Flag! :thumbsup:

Every Friday across Texas, good music gets prempted for high school football games on the radio.
Texas isn't exactly the yardstick by which I would judge the world.
Personally, I like living in the 21st century, what with the freedom of speech, thought and belief etc.
Tell me, when does construction of the camps actually start?
Have you started recruiting the security staff yet? Try 'The Todt Organisation' - they are in Yellow Pages.
I'd get my orders for Zyklon B in early, if I were you. It seems there has been a sudden increase in demand.
Yep, we should all be a bunch of ignorant, hateful, violent rednecks. Sounds AWESOME.
(Note: I'm not saying everyone in Texas is an ignorant, hateful, violent redneck, just the ones who think like Easyrider.)

And usually one team ends up beating the other. Either your god plays favourites (nothing new there), or all this praying amounts to everyone talking gibberish to themselves.
Which is it, I wonder?

Yeah -- violence for Jayzus! That'll show them hippies who's got the religion of tolerance and peace!
Texas if friggin awesome, and what he said is totally untrue, at least in Huston, Austin, Dallas...all the places that mean anything.
This IDIOCY requires that I am very ASSURED about MY CAP LOCKS, because I KNOW that FOOTball teams in TEXAS make LIFE better EVERYwhere in the WORLD and my CAPLOCKS are ensuring the UNIVERSE'S betterment because I'm FROM Texas and MY utterances ARE from TEXAS and therefore BETTER and SHIT - I"M FROM FUCKIN' TEXAS, DAMMIT, so we play FOOTball and GOD is INVOLVED and then there is THAT FLAG and, dammit, I am from TEXAS and, and, and, and...
(Wife's commit - Are you done yet?)
(Neighbours' comments -1) Is that stupid horse done fucking his wife?
2) What the fuck is that braying shit from next door?
Sieg Heil mein Fußball!
(Yes, I know Fußball is soccer, but it fit so well).
I like the way the post is formatted. It's like a poem. A poem of batshit insanity.
If God answers prayers, why is it that both teams don't win? If that happened, I'd definitely start believing he existed.
And punching out someone for disrespecting God? Yeah that's the way to show his love, isn't it.
And at these high schools they teach nothing about sentence structure, paragraph formation, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, or punctuation I take it?
Really? What if they do not want to pray? Atheists can play American Football too. I mean if you are not letting atheists play... then we have a problem.
When I played rugby for my uni, some guys would pray. I would go tape my hands up and prepare for the game by keeping busy to calm me down. Different people have different ways.
Jeebus gives you a new commandment that you love one another as he has loved you - It's not really new, since he did that before he got nailed to a tree.
You guys take more than 2000 years to listen to him, eh?

YET EVERY NIGHT AT LEAST ONE OF THEM FAILS TO WIN!
Despite all the tough talk, Texan rednecks are not any more likely to punch someone out than rednecks anywhere else. Also, like other rednecks, they are primarily dangerous to themselves and to each other and pose little threat to anyone else, except during election years.
Even when I was playing high school football, umpteen gazillion years ago, I always thought that it was absurd to pray to God over a football game. I thought that any God worth his salt had more important things to do than worry about whether or not we won a damn football game.
So, you advocate the use of violence when someone doesn't believe the same as you. I'd be willing to bet you openly condemn the use of violence by radical Muslims against people who don't believe as they do. Oh the hypocrisy is so blindingly obvious. And you wonder why people are turned off by Christianity.
Yeah, fuck praying for an end to poverty, famine and war. I want God to win me this game! And when you lose, who gets sacrificed for a lack of faith? Or is it the gays summoning demons to make you lose? I've always found this to be curious.

Didn't someone once say something about turning the other cheek? No, I must have been imagining it.
Whom would Jesus punch?
@freako104:
It's insulting, not assaulting. Apparently easyrider's ilk are the ones who like to punch fer Jesus and his Flag.
And if they want to behave foolishly in a private venue, more power to them. But this is high school football--public school, one assumes. There's the separation of church and state to consider, especially when you've got a pastor hanging around in the boys' locker room.
So, yes, keep that all in mind.
Yeah, just like Jesus when he used to go around socking the shit out of people for looking at him or disagreeing with his sermons. Texans also don't fool around when it comes to: tax evading super-churches, massive belt buckles, driving with open containers, unconcealed weapons, and the belief that their state should be a separate country.
Texans also see nothing wrong with your sister being your wife, or your brother being your husband, for that matter. Texas also has a high crimerate and i owe it to the bible thumping inbreded morons. That's the way it should be, crime=christianity, :thumbsup:
You're a pussy. The way it ought to be is to have Catholics throw Protestants onto bonfires for God, just like the good old days. Back in those days, gays weren't the only ones called faggots, you realise. Kiss that crucifix, under pain of pain! Now THAT'S violence for the sake of gentle Jesus!
"Hey man, we're Christians and we don't like what you said."
"Well then forgive me."
Later, when I was lying in the parking lot...

I'm a Texan who often doesn't even say the pledge in school, and when I do I omit the words "under god" in both the US and Texas pledges. (Fun fact, by the way - the Texan pledge did not have the words "under God" in it until a few years ago.)
Is Texas still part of the US?
I thought they were gonna secede.
psst..you forgot to take Oklahoma with you.
"Every Friday at High School Football Games

Two words, Easyrider:
Touchdown Jesus.

I love the smell of destroyed arguments (and graven images) in the morning. Smells like... victory.

He's a Texan. And an Atheist.
I love the smell of annihilated arguments in the morning. Smells like... victory.
Being a Native Texan, I can say that Football is a religion down here, but of all the games I went to for Middle & High School, there was the National Anthem and then the game. No deacons, no preachers, no prayers.
Pat Conroy, one of my favorite authors, has a wonderful view of Southern culture. He describes a locker room scene something like this.
The coach says, "I want you to go out on the field and massacre them. I want you slaughter them. I want to see their blood on the field! I want to see their guts on the field! Go out there and hit them! Do I have me some hitters?"
"Yes sir!"
"Do I have me some fuckin' hitters?"
"Yes sir!"
"Let us pray."
Yes, I know, Texas. The place where they'll defend the second amendment to the death, but trash the first amendment and call it "tradition".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
