Turns out there’s dumbness in Missouri. Right now there’s more than usual. House Bill 1227, introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on January 10, 2012, would, if enacted, require “the equal treatment of science instruction regarding evolution and intelligent design,” according to the legislature’s summary of the bill. The equal treatment provision would apply to both [...]
Steve Ford and the MAJORITY
January 13, 2012 By 17 Comments
Steve Ford, noble defender of faith, waltzed into the facebook group Support the Removal of the Cranston High School West Prayer and said something. All I heard was “Please string me up as an example of how faith permits and encourages hatred and stupidity!” “Alright,” I said. Pathetic… As an older American, I see the county [...]

They’re so cute with their tantrums and their arguments they haven’t thought through. legal_eagle wants a piece next. This was from information collected in a 2010 Gallup Poll: “Americans are overwhelmingly sure there’s a God who answers prayers. This fits with most Americans’ views: 92% say there is a God and 83% say this God [...]

Here comes twiggy02919 with the wannabe logic hammer. I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.” This is our history don’t you dare change it.

Ok guys. Jessica Ahlquist is getting some pretty fierce harassment over twitter. Her twitter is @JessicaAhlquist. If only a bunch of sharp-toothed, debate-savvy people on twitter were to rush to her defense. Leave them in metaphorical pieces. Well, that fight got turned around real fast. I freaking love all of you. Stay on ‘em!

They’re like an energizer bunny if he was fueled by obliviousness. SpencerE says: Seperation of Church and State is regarding LAW(read: Iran and a reigious based GOVERNMEMT) and not hanging a prayer in a school. If someone was a true “athiest” why do they even care that the prayer is hanging there? I’m personally agnostic [...]

They’re like locusts. From Frankie 4496 we get: Jessica has been used by her parents….They should be ashamed of themselves for exposing their daughter as a renegade. The judge’s decision is also in error and he only shows that he is not friendly to the religions.. What a terrible situation…. She was used by her [...]
Cranston High School Administrators – You Weren't Heroes Then, You're Not Heroes Now
January 12, 2012 By 6 Comments
I was sent an article today that I wrote (and forgot about) for Atheism Resource last year. It was back when Cranston residents were admonishing the banner committee to be heroes by fighting a losing fight. Jessica Ahlquist is a sophomore at Cranston High School West in Rhode Island, where a Christian prayer has been [...]

More delightful Christians lining up to have their wrists slapped! Matt D says: Hopefully, Jessica and her family will rid themselves of all those evil pieces of paper in their pockets and wallets that contain the phrase “In God We Trust”. I’m not a religious person and see no issue with it, it’s a piece [...]

Onward with comments from the Provo Journal. HeatMiseR says: “The banner has been hanging for 50 years! Who is this girl to come along now and demand it’s removal? Take it down and when she leaves the school put it right back up!!” It was there for fifty years! And how long had segregation been [...]

The posts on this site, including all the Cranston Commenters posts, reflect the opinions of JT Eberhard, not the Secular Student Alliance. The commenters in the Providence Journal article on the Cranston banner are a bunch of animals. I’ve decided to dissect a bunch of them over the course of the next few days. I [...]
