Thanks for the laugh. Your insights on the theory of evolution astound me. Although, what they have to do with the topic at hand, I have no idea.
All I see here is a lot of hate, from both Christians and Non-Christians alike. The way I see it, using a quote from the Bible is a little out of place on a football field, setting aside all the political mumbo-jumbo of whether it's constitutional or not. I can tell you as both a student and an atheist that seeing a sign like that would not have evoked feelings of school spirit, but rather feelings of exclusion.
I'm an American too. I might be in the extreme minority, but nevertheless, I should be able to go to a school function and not be made uncomfortable by a religious quote. I know, I would have the right to leave, I could just turn my head and look the other way, but plain and simple, I don't think that's very fair, especially when another spirited (but unreligious) expression could be used.
I applaud the girls for being original and for using all their own funds and time to create the signs. I know they mean only good by their message, but I don't think they took everyone into consideration when they created them.
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
