It's interesting how they all complain about religious freedom being suppressed, yet they fail to cite a single example.
The true beauty of a self-inquiring sentient universe is lost on those who elect to walk the intellectually vacuous path of comfortable paranoid fantasies.

GC just goes in splurges. Go check some of last year's posts. This is what scares me about religion. The muslims have got nothing on GC.

Once the money is passed to the students, they are given the right to do whatever they like, as long as it relates to cheerleading. If they thought a saying by Confucius would have inspired their players to play better, they could have put that up too. When our Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they had in mind that 1) no political leader should rule over the church; 2) no church authority should rule over the state; and 3) no single national religion should be established. In no way did they suggest we have freedom from religion.
So, how would you feel if they had quoted the Koran instead?

Obviously I can't answer for GC, but in order to be consistent - at least by his own demonstrated standards of consistency - he'd have to be perfectly fine with that. After all, "In no way did [the Founding Fathers] suggest we have freedom
from religion", isn't that right, GC?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
