At a Tennessee Football Game, not a joke.

>> Christianity is now the target of persecution...
>> THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON.
>> I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT.  
>>  
>> Tennessee Football
>> This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School , Kingston, Tennessee by school Principal, Jody McLeod
>>
>> "It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."
>>
>> Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style," and if someone is offended, that's OK.
>>
>> I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK.
>>
>> I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable" Means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem...
>>
>> I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology.."
>>
>> I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.."
>>
>> However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.
>>
>> This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. 
>> Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.
>>
>> Nevertheless , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical. I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression.
>>
>> For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time.
>>
>> " However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so.. As far as I know, that's not against the law--yet."
>>
>> One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray.
>>
>> They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box!
>>
>> The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America- the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD."
>>
>> Somehow, Kingston , Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains!
>>
>> JESUS said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER.."
>>
>> If you are not ashamed, pass this on ..
>>
>> I'm not one bit ashamed to pass this on, Are you?
>>  
>> THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON.

Thank you Walter for passing this on. I really pray this is a eye opener.
