[orleans]

Link to tweet

if a Muslim walked out to the fifty yard line and led a prayer service, Justice Gorsuch would shit his fucking pants

[dchill]

1. In that case, let's make that happen!

[TNNurse]

11. My first thought

[McKim]

24. Absolutely!!!!!!

Absolutely, this is about Christian Nationalism taking over another aspect of our lives. Love this comment!!!!!

[calimary]

25. Bring it on!

[Rebl2]

29. YES

[roamer65]

2. Dearborn, MI.

I hope they do it there.

[Jerry2144]

3. Satanic Temple needs to apply to pray on the 50

[orleans]

6. hartmann was just talking about that a few minutes ago

bringing the goat statue onto the field.
lol.

[McKim]

26. HILARIOUS!!!! MAY I SUGGEST THE GOLDEN CALF OR THE CHURCH OF ELVIS??

[cloudboy07]

28. the golden Trump at the republican conference?

[Celerity]

36. or

[PatSeg]

23. And include some Druids, Pagans,

Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Taoists, Jews, etc. All at the same time would be effective.

[soldierant]

33. Church of the FSM also.

And maybe a Sikh.

I am a lifelong Christian, and I would pry with any or all of those before I would pray with a Talibangelical "Christian."

[Ishoutandscream2]

4. Yep, lay out that praying rug at the 50

Watch heads explode.

[Gore1FL]

5. It's a great recruiting opportunity for the Hare Krishna folks, too! nt

[2naSalit]

20. Yeah, how could we forget them?

[Joinfortmill]

7. Amen

[BradBo]

8. As they say... "Let's Go!"

[rubbersole]

9. Pray and take a knee.

For Jesus. How could they bitch?

[Tadpole Raisin]

10. If a Muslim coach prayed on the 50 yard line after the game he

Would be fired, deported and republicans would say it was shameful and evil for other people to be forced to watch such a display.

Cretins

[jO456]

12. Playing time now based on if you join?

Part of the reason he was fired, was players felt play time was based on if you joined.

[onecaliberal]

14. We were talking about this earlier. Want to even be on the team?

[former9thward]

16. That was not the reason.

He started praying by himself. He did not request anyone join him. The school board cited three games where he prayed as the reason he was fired. In none of those three games did any player join him in the prayers.

[intrepidity]

34. Well, the Bible says he should pray in a closet

Not on a football field.

People who pray in public do it for one reason only.

[former9thward]

44. The "Bible" has gone through countless translations from its original language(s)

So it says a lot of things, some contradictory. Myself, I don't care. If I decide to pray I will pray wherever I feel like it. I don't care what anybody thinks.

[intrepidity]

45. The context was very clear on the meaning

I believe it was Jesus who was making the point about how public prayer is often about the person's ego, being seen as pious by others.

[former9thward]

46. Do you get upset when President Biden prays in public?

When he is not in your "closet"?

In fact he puts his prayers right on the White House government tax supported website

We pray for our nation as we face an inflection point in our history.

So much is going to change no matter who’s sitting in my job. The world is changing. The world is changing.

I — there’s a — the moment — but there’s also a moment of great progress, of lives saved in this pandemic, not just the ones lost — new jobs created for people, new hope for rebuilding the nation, but also a moment of pain for the lost lives and the — and the lives lost in this pandemic. And the cruel twist of fates that occur.

You know, at a moment of great division of our democracy is at great — grave risk. I pray that we follow what Jesus taught us: to serve rather than be served. I don’t always do it. I hope try. I don’t always do it.

I pray to keep the faith. That very promise of America, believing that there’s nothing we can’t do, where every person is created equal in the image of God — no matter who or where we come from, who we are, or what our color, or how we choose to pray, or whether or not we choose to pray — they deserve to be treated equally throughout their lives.

Faith in the very idea of America that can be defined, in my view, by a single word. I’ve been saying this for over 30 years. When I get asked to define America, one word: “Possibilities.” “Possibilities.”

37. Players should keep a record of

the playing times of prayers vs. non prayers. If there is favoritism, then sue for violation of their civil rights.

[lefthandedskyhook]

13. Gorsuch is toothpaste from a tube of feces

Hard to put him back

[erronis]

15. If every cult is given a 2 minute time to prey, there would be no play after half-time.

I did mean "prey".

And I bet the action on the field would be far more interesting than some stoopid US football game.

[former9thward]

17. He prayed after the game was over,

In the court case the school board admitted employees were on their personal time at that point.

[erronis]

19. Oh, darn. So much for my self-perceived "witticism"!

[jaxexpat]

18. ....and that, folks, was the oddest half time show ever.

Not so sure about that. Per J. Durante, You ain't seen nuttin' yet. They gotta mill-yun uh vem.

[Duncan Grant]

21. Shouldn't we be returning our attention to drag queens?

Priorities, people!

[Evolve Dammit]

27. That appears to be a proud boy assignment?

[Six117]

22. TRUTH!

[czarjak]

30. Prayers to the Mormon God though?

[Ford_Prefect]

31. If the coach may do it, so may we all, unto our varied denominations and deities.

Huddle up y'all.

[moonshinegnomie]

32. im thinking a pentagram on the 50 yard line

[wnylib]

38. Works for me. Hope somebody does it.

[lindysalsagal]

35. Unable to reply for fear of being ejected.

I wish I could agree with you.

[SouthernDem4ever]

39. So are you going to ever tell us why you keep using this position

???

[SouthernDem4ever]

40. The church of the flying spaghetti monster demands equal time

everyone meet me on the 50 yard line.
Bring garlic bread.

[onethatcares]

42. I got the pesto

and a cheap chianti.

[Icanthinkformyself]

41. SCOTUS

would hold 6-3 that only the Christian religion is permitted. All others are pagan and/or invalid. After all, they know everything, amirite?

[GoCubsGo]

43. And, if Jesus saw this coach out there, he wouln't be too thrilled, either.

Jesus had some things to say about public displays of prayer. But, it's not like these clowns actually care what Jesus ever said. (Or, didn't say, as in the case of abortion.)
