We would prefer a Stone Henge on the 50 yard line. The field is nice and big with plenty of access to the rising and setting sun if it's outdoors. Which is why we now demand all indoor stadiums be demolished.

Because you're a Democrat and a longtime DU'er, I know that your concerns must extend beyond your own pressing matters.

Utah. We had prayer in school there and I sort of started a religious revolution. I am not proud of it.

Just about everyone in my HS was Mormon. We started every convocation with a prayer. I just blew it off. It's stupid. But I always worried about the nerdy little kid who was RLDS and the super smart nerdy kid who was the only Jewish kid. They were fine. They were like me. Blew it all off. So did the Catholics.

We got pressure but as soon as the Mormon kid zealots found out you weren't interested you became instantly invisible to them. Didn't matter. Didn't like them anyway.

You want to open those floodgates, well, I would be happy to be an agnostic supporter of the former over the hypocritical latter.

That people pray over a damned high school football game at all seems intensely blasphemous to me to begin with. It is a GAME!

All groups can do the same now. Real religious extremist groups now are allowed to do the same thing. Also religion could be suggested to be taxed soon if they accept it into the government like this.

I would like to see a player curse God because he didn't catch a ball in the endzone.
