Football Coach for Christ - Out of a job

[Katzndogz]

It's no longer necessary to pray, or even get down on one knee. Merely a second of pointing skyward is enough for punishment. In a year merely looking up will be too Christian to tolerate.

High school football player penalized for pointing to sky after touchdown

That player pointing to the sky: He may be asking God if God loves the player as much as the player loves himself. It`s possible.

He could have been saying "it's Superman." The boy was suspended for silently pointing to the sky. How long before merely looking at the sky is prohibited?"

 

[PaintMyHouse]

That is not how this started. He was leading prayers in the pregame team meetings and was told to knock it off.

and he did, didn't he?

He opted to have his prayer after the game, by himself.

Still not allowed and also not how Jesus taught the faithful to pray, which is not in the middle of a public high school football field on our dime,

NOt how Jesus taught the faithful to pray?

Been a long time since I've seen a Bible, much less read one, but I seem to remember him doing a lot of praying in public.

Sermon on the Mount.
while he was on the Cross,
etc

You plan on bringing up one or two incidents where it says to pray in private, and ignore the rest?

No, he went off to pray alone, just as he taught the faithful. You really don't know the faith at all.

I know he prayed, and sermonized, quite a bit in public.


Possibly the best known prayer in the world, the Lords Prayer, according to google, was part of the Sermon on the Mount.

Was he alone when he intoned that prayer?

Jesus was teaching them how to pray, not holding a group prayer. Praying is done in private, and you desperately need to reread Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Forget John, it's crap.

Matthew 6 Parallel Chapters

5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

He should not be praying in public, period, and especially when we are paying the tab...

 

[Katzndogz]

The school should just announce that the state will now enforce religious law, as they see it to be. Now the coach is a heretic!

That was almost too easy.

Bye bye, American Taliban. Keep your god out of our schools, or else...

"A high school football coach known for praying on the field after games has been placed on paid administrative leave after Satanists asked to hold their own invocation at Thursday night's game.

Bremerton School District, located near Seattle, said late Thursday that coach Joe Kennedy had been placed on leave for his "refusal to comply with the District’s lawful and constitutionally required directives that he refrain from engaging in overt, public religious displays on the football field while on duty as a coach."

Kennedy had been asked not to pray on the field after games, but has continued to do so and has even threatened to sue the district.

He was placed on leave shortly after the local chapter of the Satanic Temple said it had been invited by at least one student to give an invocation on the field after the game."
