I can't hate young, brainwashed cheerleaders for doing what they believe is the right thing. But I can despise the adults who keep spooning this kind of belligerent, anti-American nonsense into their heads. Why, I can just see the movie version now, how these God-loving teens stood up to "the people what killed our Lord," as Loretta Hagers used to call Jews on "Fernwood Tonight." "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman."

You want to pray before a game? Go to a religious school, no one's stopping you! But if you claim you're being a Christian, you might want to check out Matthew 6:5-6 -- you know, the verses right before the Lord's Prayer?



And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
