Suspended/Disciplined to send the message its not cool? Absolutely.

So crucifying a barbie doll is silly and innocent, but my joke offended you? :confused:

They didnt really crucify her they just straped the toy to the cross... Its hard to tell sometimes if one is making silly joke or being quite serious. My guess with you was bit of each.

Was the cross at this instance religious object or just something which happened to conveniently represent the other team?
 
I don't see it that differently than is an all-white school beat an mostly black school and then did a mock lynch job with a black barbie. Would then the coach there deserve to be fired?

Well that would be akin to racism. This is mocking religion and that is far less serious imo. I think this is more like crucifying Karl Marx if you won against a group of communists. Tasteless, but not very serious.

So, there are some minorities that are more deserving of equal protection than others? That has potential to work out very badly in the long run.

All our ancestors were religious you just happen to deviate from that to worship something else...

Race is an uncontrollable birth thing.

Religion is a silly thing that too many people choose to believe in.

Religion deserves to be mocked to the fullest.

Not all of them. Non believers have been around for all time. However indoctrination, peer pressure and fear of segregation are very large factors into making people want to be religious, even if they personally do not have a belief in God.

I think this isnt correct. Only recently with the advent of science people feel more likely to move their faith from philosophical and religious ideas to the concepts of material science. You could argue about the degree of faith people have had in the past though..

Your conviction of religions being completely false is as blind as that of any religious fanatic.

A significant amount of people all have been fairly indifferent to religion. What the Enlightenment changed was that the elites became less religious and the centre of power in society shifted to the religious. However, elites were often more devout than common folk.

I mean, you guys do believe that the Universe essentially farted everything out of nothing, which is more or less scientifically impossible.

All the literature I've read in science regarding this subject has always focused on the period of "inflation", the minute fractions of a second after the big bang. Very little, if any at all tries to explain what caused the Big Bang or the conditions before it that led to it. This is because, according to top physicists, nothing existed before it. Time and space didn't exist. Matter didn't exist, there was absolutely nothing, therefore you can't really explain it. The Bing Bang more or less is the beginning of all things and in physics there isn't even a concept of "before the big bang".

We more or less just have to have faith that there was this magical giant bang in the past and all of the universe came into being through it.

"Because current science can't figure out exactly how life started, it must be God who caused life to start."
 
I don't know how something happened therefore God.
 
Look guys the picture of God from religion is bound to be imperfect and you have right to be critical about it. Why dont you think about it as some inteligent cosmological constant?
