Clemson Stadium on Saturday

[Franb]

So what were the words of the prayer? I didn't hear it so I don't know, but you must have. No one was injured in the UT game I attended.

My bad - I was confusing the prayer at UT and the prayer at Clemson.

Drop dead at your convience!

That puts you at odds with numerous court rulings on prayers at public school events.

Are you praying for folks to drop dead, or just wishing for it to happen?

It was pretty much to keep the players safe and thank Him for the opportunity we had to enjoy a football game. It was very similar to saying grace before dinner.

A public university, high school, middle school or elementary school shouldn't have any type of prayer at any event or gathering.

Not what our founders intended

What great fans and great Americans at Clemson. At the game on Saturday this is the only place I have been that before the game played American the Beautiful, The pledge of Allegiance, and the National Anthem, with 100% participation.

Get a grip. Not even close to 100% participation. Trust me, I was there. The prayer was nice, but it's meant for church and our own, private daily lives. Not some evangelical revival meeting masquerading as a football game. Tell them that in SC the next time you see a confederate flag waving by on a pick up truck. America is beautiful. The National Anthem is too. I don't pledge allegiance to any flag. I pledge allegiance to God and Jesus Christ. In my room, with the door shut, as my Father in Heaven told me to do it. I pledge to God and Jesus Christ in Church. I live my Christianity. Stop the idiot speakand right wing crap on this board pretending to talk football.

Oh, you talked to them? The founders? Respect religion. NO STATE RELIGION. NO ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

Freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. You keep your traditions and let us keep ours.
