Why should I feel any kind of sympathy for this girl?

A piece of cloth with a pray written on it harms nobody. If you make it a stand to try and get it removed it looks like you are fucking with people's faith for no reason except to fuck with their faith.

Holy shit, these little bastards need to grow some thicker fucking skin if they want to actually survive in a world where their religious views are not the god damned norm.

>Jesus Fetus Fajita Fishsticks.

Ahaha jesus christ what.

Also if it's a public high school they shouldn't be hanging religious banners in the first place, hurrurururur, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal either.

Firstly, the atheist girls needs to get a grip.

Secondly, the religious people need to get a grip.

Thirdly, the courts need to get a grip.

Every action taken by every person in this story is completely wrong. Fuck society.

time to remove all religion from this world. one banner at a time.

>>1105802
>it shouldn't be that big of a deal
The religious reaction is fairly good example of why it's a big deal. Imagine the religious backlash to a banner advocating atheism. Hell, they became quite upset about legally purchased public bus advertisements.

>>1105804
This.

Everyone involved is treating this like she tore the banner in half, burned it and pissed on the ashes while bad-mouthing religion at the top of her lungs for all the world to hear.

Didn't she realize how stupid doing that would be?
I mean those christians are overreacting as always, but what she did was retarded in the first place.

>hate christians
>complain and play the victim when they hate you back

what part of this banner is offense to anyone? unless you are butthurt by the mere mention of God which is fuckign pathetic. who the hell cares about a sign taking up a few feet of wallspace in an entire school, she doesnt have to look at it and she would only have to tolerate it for 4 years.

anyway, she is now hated by her whole school and will probably kill herself.

You've been posting news with random pictures in multiple chans for years now.

It's usually a porn picture or anime, and it always says "pic unrelated" at the end.

Who are you, mysterious crusader?

>>1105853
I'm an atheist and that's actually a pretty good banner, just saying.

>>1105853
It's a fucking banner. Does it matter if it stays or goes?

>>1105765
>that delicious christian butthurt

>>1105853
It's not that it's offensive on its own. It's that it doesn't belong in a public school, because of the separation of church and state. If it was in a Christian school, it would be fine.

>>1105765

She's not an Atheist.
She's a fucking bitchcunt asshole.
Real Atheists have no problem with Christians and other faiths putting their symbolism up.
The 1st Amendment protects their right to free speech. This is a violation of the 1st.
Nowhere in the Constitution is the "Separation of Church and State" written, and nothing pisses me off more than people who don't know anything about our founding documents.

As an Atheist, I want to apologize for this shitty behavior, but I don't want to take the heat for a shitball like her.

And as an Atheist, that prayer is very positive and uplifting, and is a good thing for students to honor as it promotes positivity and decency.
Really, FUCK HER.

>>1105923
>yapping on about the constitution
>posting an eagle

No, go fuck yourself.

Guaranteed 80% of the school didn't give a single fuck about the banner. If it was just taken down one day they probably wouldn't have even realised it was gone. Typical christfags getting angry over a non-issue.

I'm an atheist, and I understand why she complained. But personally, I wouldn't give a shit about simply seeing something religious. Nobody was forcing her to pray. Nobody was forcing her to do anything.

Seeing a religious banner would mean just as much to me as seeing a sign for a school club I'm not interested in.

But I'm definitely not holding her responsible for all the bullshit she's getting from people in her town. All these loving, non-judging Christians sending her death threats, and trying to get everyone to beat the shit out of her.

>>1105923
You're not an atheist, and stop fucking capitalizing the damn word.

>Hey guys, I hate america, Im so cool and edgy!!!

Fuck off asshole, I'm not even that guy, but you're just a faggot.

>>1106105

I would have done the same. Not cause I'm atheist but because

>that delicious christian butthurt

>>1105923
do you even 1st amendment?
separation of church and state is part of the fucking 1st amendment.
>The First Amendment provides that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

I would be alright with the banner as freedom of expression in the school, but not the "school prayer" type thing. Makes it seem to much like it's been endorsed by the school somehow. If students made a banner and wanted to display it in the school without making it appear that it was endorsed by the school, this would be acceptable in my eyes. Naturally, the same would go for atheists, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc expressing themselves. The problem with this is that it is much too close to the school ENDORSING Christian prayer. Removing the "Heavenly Father" and replacing the "Amen" with "So let it be." or redacting it entirely might also be acceptable? Clearly, it is important to be sensitive to the need for freedom of expression while avoiding the direct endorsement of religion.

Firstly, (this probably happened in the U.S, but I don't know since I won't read shitty articles) the country affected needs to be bombed.

Then all the women and men must be put to forced labour to work for dear leader.

Then, fuck you and burn all the churches.

For some weird reason most of the english translations of it read off like some Chinese guy did it... Fucking frustrating.

Just because Christians are nice sometimes doesn't mean their beliefs aren't bullshit.

If a Nazi gave you candy, would you suddenly support Hitler's regime?

Fuck you people are retarded.

The girls an idiot. The constitution says there is legal seperation of church and state, but that doesn't mean we aren't supposed to acknowledge religion as a factor in people's lives. Whether you disagree with religion or not, that's the truth.
That said, there was no reason for that to be there and everybody pissed off about it getting taken down is also a fucking moron.

>>1105853
Because anything that mentions god is evil and homophobic. It doesn't matter what it actually says, just what I think it says without actually reading it.

>>1106781
Probably. I like candy a lot.

>>1106781
>If a Nazi gave you candy, would you suddenly support Hitler's regime?
Nope, that would require a job, house, or vehicle. Well, I would also accept the equivalent value in USD.

As a poster already alluded to above.

A similar banner spouting Muslim beliefs or Athiest Beliefs or whatever else that would be non-christian would never make it up there and the same "christians" raging about theirs being taken down would rally to have anything contrary to their belief taken down as well.

This is bullshit.

I don't find it offensive, but it has no place in a public school.

>>1106781

>If a Nazi gave you candy, would you suddenly support Hitler's regime?

wow. you must be new here.

To all the people wondering why she is so butthurt about a banner... why did it need to be there in the first place? Legally, the school is 100% in the wrong for having it there. Why are THEY butthurt about someone pointing this out? It's unnecessary and illegal for it to be there. Why did it have to go to court, why couldn't they just say "Oh I guess you're right, we'll take it down without making a big deal out of it".

I think that most atheists aren't mad about the fact that banners like this, 10 commandments statues, nativity scenes, etc. are present in public places. I don't see the word "god" and suddenly OH MY SCIENCE, MY EYES BURN ARRRGGH IT'S SO OFFENSIVE. It's the attitude of entitlement that Christians have that their religious beliefs, and ONLY their religious beliefs, should and MUST be expressed in places where it is inappropriate to have them.

I don't think it's the banner she cared about, it's the attitude behind the hanging of that banner and refusal to take it down that she's fighting against.

>>1106781
>If a Nazi gave you candy, would you suddenly support Hitler's regime?
How much candy are we talking here?

>>1107255

>why did it need to be there in the first place?
Why not? Why is it the atheists must have the default position and all religion be thorwn into the closet (while they're allowed to live free in their atheism)?

>>1107255
>Illegal
Nah. The establishment clause the government can't restrict the practice of religion or enforce it on people. Says nothing about banners some gym teacher put up. Same reason we still have "in god we trust" on the money.

>>1105853
This is the banner in question. It's barely even a "prayer" so much as a motivational speech.
Only reason anybody would get mad about this is if they have a serious stick up there ass.
Likewise, religious people hate the idea they have to water down their beliefs for some teenaged cunt who didn't like seeing the word "amen" in gym class.

Political correctness is fucking stupid and so is anger over nothing.

>>1105804
>Firstly, the atheist girls needs to get a grip.
True. She's a cunt.

>Secondly, the religious people need to get a grip.
True. They're tremendously butthurt.

>Thirdly, the courts need to get a grip.
False. They just made a decision with accordance to the law.

Free speech can be a bitch.

Religious terrorists. Should seize their church's assets as "supporting terrorism" and ship them off to Gitmo.

>>1107299
Because it was an unnecessary and inappropriate expression of religious beliefs in a public school? "Why not?" isn't an answer, you just don't have a good argument for why it needed to be there in the first place. Students can still pray without there being a banner with a prayer printed on it, they can still have school pride, there was no reason to have it there.

>>1107304
Well the courts (very predictably) ruled that it should be taken down so I'm pretty sure it was illegal.

That banner is totally inappropriate for a public school. It gives the impression that the school fully endorses christianity and it gives of a churchy vibe, there shouldn't be a churchy vibe in school. Churchy vibes make non-churchy people uncomfortable.

Like some other people already mentioned, the banner wouldn't be tolerated for a hot second if it had a muslim prayer on it.

and all those kids going after the girl are just making christianity look really bad. they're fucking stupid, why not just start a little christian club (which I'm pretty sure is allowed) and get together and say their little prayer? They would rather get all bitchy about it. Try and pretend they're "opressed" or some shit.

>>1107304
They don't have to water down their beliefs. They can believe whatever they want, government institutions however cannot endorse religion. We have private schools for exactly this sort of thing. I spent many years in a school where we learned evolution was false, Catholics were evil and not really Christians, that we were likely the last generation before the end times, etc. and there wasn't a damn thing anyone could do about it because it wasn't a public school.

>>1107407
When I was a Christian churchy vibes made me uncomfortable. The sort of people and atmosphere of churches always seemed so antithetical to the teachings of Jesus not to mention just being plain creepy.

>teen atheist
>being taken serious.

Actually, most athiests in general are shit. I'm an athiest too, but I don't go around forcing my non-beliefs on anyone. People have a right to believe what they want just as I have a right to not believe.

SOME KID DIED AND NOW THEY'RE SAYING A PRAYER? OH MAN BETTER GO ALERT THE SUPREME COURT ABOUT THIS RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE I'M EXPERIENCING.

>>1107419

It was a banner in an auditorium.

That's not forcing anything.

>>1107428
yeah, I'm on the fence. I'm pretty sure I'm a christian, but the churchy vibe still weirds me out, I'm somewhat religious, but if I saw that banner at my school or my kids school I would feel very disappointed.
Religious stuff in the wrong context just makes people uncomfortable, and you shouldn't be made to feel that way at school.

>>1107447
How is she forcing a belief on anyone? They are free to believe what they want to believe, they are not free to use the state as a vehicle for expressing that belief.

>>1107461
you completely miss the point, it's basically a school endorsement of christianity, and thats wrong. it creates a certain atmosphere that should be avoided in a PUBLIC school

>>1107461
I never said they were forcing anything, but its mere presence is government endorsement which the Supreme Court has clearly shown is not allowed. There are plenty of contexts where I'd be totally okay with religious stuff on government property, but it all depends on context. The ten commandments in an Alabama courthouse is pretty blatantly a religious endorsement, but the ten commandments along with other things like Magna Carta and Hammurabi's Code seems less like a religious endorsement and more like a display on the history of law.

America is a country with a great view on religions. Our publicly funded government systems and services can not endorse nor prohibit anybody from practicing whatever religious views they wish. This is great. And because of this, there is an option provided to every American when it comes to education, allowing parents to send their children to a private, religious school if they wish for their children to be educated in and exposed to religious ideas. If you want this for your child, awesome, that's your right and I support it 100%, as does the constitution. What the Constitution doesn't accept, however, is this kind of thing being posted in a public school, where there is not supposed to be any religious ideas period.

She is only being insulted because the banner was christian. If the banner had had a Muslim prayer on it, she would be a national hero for stopping the terrorist agenda to make our kids hate america and our freedoms. Pic related.

>>1105836

You know, honestly, I have to agree with this.

My initial reaction is, "Dude, why is this such a big deal? It's a banner. Grow up and ignore it if it bothers you."

But then, sit and think about the reaction if, like that anon said, it was an atheistic/Islamic/Jewish/Wiccan/Buddhist/etc. banner, rather than a Christian one.

Can you imagine the public outrage that would be generated? There'd be more violent opposition to it than there was to this ruling.
