You’d think the players on this high school football team were forced to accept Jesus and get baptized or be thrown off the team, the way the media and atheist groups are reacting. Even the news guy in the report below says this ‘mass baptism’ on the football field of Villa Rica High School might violate the Constitution.
Watch:
This what was stated as the caption for the video:
‘We had the privilege of baptizing a bunch of football players and a coach on the field of Villa Rica High School! We did this right before practice!’ officials from the church First Baptist Villa Rica wrote in a caption accompanying the video on YouTube, according to WXIA. ‘Take a look and see how God is STILL in our schools!’
This video has of course gotten the attention of an atheist group who is demanding an investigation into this:
The Freedom from Religion Foundation sent a letter to Carroll County officials Tuesday asking the district to investigate the incident and ensure there are no more religious events that violate students’ constitutional rights on school grounds. The group also requested that the district state the steps it is taking to protect the constitutional rights of students.
‘I can’t remember another case like this,’ said Annie Laurie Gaylor, a Freedom from Religion Foundation official. ‘It’s really misusing the authority of the coach to promote his personal religious agenda.’
‘It’s forcing them to undergo a religious ritual to be accepted on a team,’ she said. ‘How are they going to cross their coach? They have no choice. It’s proselytizing, it’s coercive, and it’s not legal in our schools.’
Forcing? Coercive? C’mon. These idiots will say anything to make it sound like something it was not. They hate Christianity which is why they use the term ‘proselytizing’, as if there is something inherently wrong with that.
What this world needs is much more Christian proselytizing in all areas and in all places, and that includes high schools and government jobs. A world that worships Jesus is by far a safer and more loving world.
And we’ll have that eventually, when Christ returns. And then these atheists will be asking to be proselytized, if it isn’t too late.
