Freedom From Religion Attacks Again

Tried out for waterboy: no luck

Those brave, kooky folks at the Wisconsin atheist group known as Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) are at it again, this time asserting their God-given right to be offended at a teenage football team, called the Seminoles, in Sanford, Florida.

One of the kids got hurt on the gridiron and was being tended to by the coaches and trainers. Upon seeing the severity of the situation, the team took a knee, bowed their heads and silently prayed for their injured teammate.

Well, imagine the insult and mental anguish those poor atheists must have felt knowing that a bunch of kids believed in a higher being. They were offended, outraged, and determined to put an end to the Seminole's Freedom OF Religion.


So an FFRF attorney shot a letter to the superintendent of Seminole County Public schools which accused the school of having an adult lead the prayer for the injured boy. Of course, this was hogwash, but think of the bravery of these fine, young atheists to attack the religious beliefs of others.

The letter lied: "It is our information and understanding that Seminole High School (is) allowing an adult, a local pastor, to act as a 'volunteer chaplain' for the football team," FFRF lawyer, Andrew Seidel wrote. (Seidel must be trying to impress the Obama administration and vying for a job.)

The damned lawyer went on to say that the school cannot "allow a non-school adult access to the children in its charge, and certainly cannot grant access to a pastor seeking to organize prayer for the students."

The opinionated, close-minded organization told the school district to "refrain" from using this "volunteer chaplain."

The school responded to the false accusation saying that the students instigated the prayer and that there was no chaplain with the team. "There is nothing to cease and desist because our behavior was within the guidelines in the first place," said Mike Blasewitz as told to Todd Starnes for MyNews13. Blasewitz said the team doesn't even have a chaplain.

Seidel told Starnes that he was satisfied and the FFRF considered the matter closed. The important thing was that he and the FFRF got to vent their chronic outrage and piss off an entire school district with their false claim.

"FFRF is very pleased with central Florida's new-found commitment to upholding the First Amendment and protecting the rights of conscience of all students, not just Christians," the Christian-attacker said. 

What "new-found commitment?" Was FFRF spying on the team all along, waiting for the opportunity to file a suit based on the First Amendment? And doesn't the First Amendment give people the right to actually practice or not practice their religion as they see fit?

The parents are upset with these idiots and their bullying tactics. "There are a lot more important issues going on in the world than worrying about kids praying at a game," one parent said. "We live in a country where we're free to do what we want to do, just like our president."

FFRF has angrily moved on from Seminole, Florida and are now planning to attend the Dearborn, Michigan mosques and sue for the removal of their loud speakers on the domes. The atheists say that these speakers are in violation of the First Amendment and will do everything in their legal power to shut them off. "They sound so god-awful," a spokes-atheist said.

"Non-Muslims do not have to listen to Muslim "Call to Prayer" and all the other calls that are bellowed out to the public. Personally, I find it offensive," said an FFRF representative whose name is being withheld pending notification of his family.
