As we have reported here time and again, the most hated group in America hands down – more hated than even Muslim Imams and Barack Obama – are atheists. Here we have further proof, not in Mississippi or Rick Perry’s living room but in Rhode Island.
Since the article sited below was written, four Cranston, Rhode Island florists – including Twins Florist – have refused to deliver flowers bought for "the evil little thing." Some of the florists are saying they are refusing because of threats and safety concerns for their drivers. That in itself makes this even more disgusting than it already is. Christian MY ASS!
"A high school student in Cranston, R.I., Jessica Ahlquist has been taunted and threatened at school, targeted by an online hate campaign, and called "an evil little thing" by a state representative on the radio." Student Faces Town’s Wrath in Protest Against a Prayer
Roger Williams, a Christian minister who in 1635 was banished from Massachusetts for objecting to the entanglement of religion and government – founded Rhode Island on the premise that state entanglement with religion violates conscience, divides society, and offends God.
Also keep in mind that removing a prayer that was put up by government school officials inside a public school is an easy constitutional call. The government shall not establish religion. No "a" about it.
No matter, Republicans scream and yell that their children cannot pray in school! That of course is a big fat Republican lie. Students in public schools can pray individually, in groups, they can carry and read their Bibles, they can form religious clubs, the can pray around the flag and can pray in class. Republicans pretend they cannot do any of those things because there is a rule against students cannot pray so loud or long that they disrupt the education of others. Thus the Republican logic follows, students are not allowed too pray in school.
And of course there is this from Jesus himself:
But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
