I'm a Christian, and we can pray out loud in public where ever we like, freedom of speech says so.

Why is it wrong, don't you believe in free speech?
A blatant strawman.

Quote:
I see the world as my church and home, and I am allowed to have that opinion.
You are entitled to your opinion. Religion belongs in the home and in the church. The public sphere is not your church. It also belongs to other people. Ever hear of separation of church and state?

Well maybe next time I'm preached gay rights at, I'll just ask them to keep it to themselves, to only think it.
What you babbling about. There is a clear distinction between giving athletes a moment of silence to themselves and coercive group prayer.

You are, you are displaying bigotry.
You are displaying idiocy. How am I being a bigot? I don't believe in coercive prayer nor do I believe that prayer should be allowed in school. Keep the 10 Commandments out of public property.

To highlight the bigotry of this football coach:
"Borden’s actions came under scrutiny when parents complained about his prayer practices. At one point, the coach allegedly told athletes who did not want to participate in the prayers that they could wait in a bathroom."

Sounds like second class treatment if you didn't join in the christian ceremonies. I wonder how that affected your gametime.


p.s.You can still prayer as long as it does not affect other students.
