Because The American Judicial System Hates God

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that a Washington school district can ban a former coach from praying on the field after football games.
Joseph Kennedy, the school’s former football coach, sued the Bremerton School District after alleging his rights were violated when the district banned him from praying in the middle of the football field after games ended, according to the court’s ruling.
“Kennedy’s attempt to draw nationwide attention to his challenge to the District showed that he was not engaging in private prayer,” the three-judge panel ruled. “Instead, he was engaging in the public speech of an overtly religious nature while performing his job duties.”
Next up, hatred for the traditional family.
A New York City judge has removed a 6-year-old girl from her mother because she did not wear a mask while dropping her off outside of the school.
In a shocking and egregious move, the court also told Dr. Epstein that in order to get short supervised visits with her child — she will have to wear a mask inside her own home.
Those who hate God pay with their souls. And systems of government that hate God pay with the collapse of society.

My daughter plays varsity basketball at a small Christian school. We have prayers before and after every home game. The public school teams always stand respectfully during the prayers. Several of the smaller rural public high schools had prayer before the games in their gyms.
Before every game, the national anthem is played. Every spectator and every player stands respectfully. No kneeling, even by the 3 majority black teams.

Too bad the judge that took Dr. Epstein’s children isn’t named. Judge should be famous from this. Although I suspect that in NYC most of the “citizens” would side with the judge over the mother.

I still recall that in 1990 at my own high school graduation, we had an opening prayer. This was common practice until I believe the mid-1990’s
Sad to see how far this country has fallen.

Collapse is a feature and not a bug to the burn it all down fifth column.
They will be cheering when our external enemies make their move.
Don’t look back or you’ll turn into a pillar of salt.

Seems there are many “stupid, arrogant, rich (former white trash)” involved in the NYC incident (upper West Side of Manhattan is overrun with them); and, a thoroughly, morally corrupt judge who should not be on the bench, but for his connections and “criminal” behavior in the past is. … We The People very much need a standard definition of incorrigible mental defect and the wherewithal to then put those meeting that definition out of their (and our) misery. … Yes, that is somewhat “anti-Christian” but I expect G-d would understand.

I keep wondering if the societal collapse we are witnessing isn’t God removing his hand of protection and blessing from our nation. Or perhaps it’s more; it may be judgement. Neither option bodes well for the future of the FUSA.

Not only do they hate God but they assume the station of God. Sadly many Americans accept judges of this earth as ultimate arbiter of right and wrong. That also is wickedness and idolatry.
At any rate these judges should know that the 1A states; “the free exercise thereof.” “private prayer” and public exercise are antithetical one to the other for the purposes of this case.

There is also an argument to be made that as a society we need to re-examine the structure of our “judicial systems”; there are alternatives. … As a matter of the federal Article 3. system a starting point would be abandonment of Stare Decisis – if a prior decision has bearing on a current question, refer to it but don’t deny the current question using the excuse of “precedent”.
As to state and local courts – creating limitations on the types of disputes that arise that warrant a “court’s” involvement could be developed; all other matters to be handled by “arbiters” or “community ‘elders'” …
And, of course we need “tort reform” and a change in culture that rejects “prescriptive legislation”.

Sisu, yes! Bring back judges of tens, and judges of hundreds, and judges of thousands, godly men of good character that fear God, men of truth that hate covetousness to judge as elders VERY locally.
