We need to cut the crapnif bowing down to please all these diverse groups! This country was founded on Christian principles and ran base on those principles for years, during which time you hardly ever heard of these shootings on campuses or well anywhere. Then somebody had the wise idea of takin GOD out of our schools and country and well now this is the result of those changes just so we wouldn't offend nobody. My stance is put GOD back in our schools and the running of our country and those who don't like it can go to another country where they may fit in better!!!!

Funny how our representatives here in Tennessee are doing exactly what you said above.

Cheek made a simple request and did so to avoid a b.s. discrimination lawsuit against the university. It's a CYA business tactic and a smart one at that.

No. Make this easy for you. Instead of the beginning of time, lets just go back 100 years. How many lawsuits have been filed against UT for having CHRISTMAS parties?

Not my point at all..... Point is our so called "leaders" who are ruling to take GOD out of everything to do with this country, schools, goverment etc.etc. have successfully done so therefore IMO caused this country to lose his protecting hand and in a lot of ways his blessings on our lives.

Well, you are the one who brought up shootings and attempted to link it to your god being removed from schools. My point is that it seems that most mass shootings are usually done by someone with religious ties and motivations. I have yet to hear of an atheist going on a rampage due to someone believing in a god or killing other atheists for not believing strongly enough.

Personally, I don't care about other's faiths and beliefs. I fully support a moment of silence in schools for people to use to quietly observe whatever faith they choose or simply not oberve anything. The thing is people are so sensitive and get upset if others don't choose to believe the same as they do and that's probably why it would never work. Everyone seems to have a my way or the highway outlook.

Once again, he sent the memo out to the employees to protect the university. That's it. This is a way for him and the university to say they warned all employees in the event that someone TRIES to file a lawsuit. He's covering the university's a$$.

It was never a slight against any Christian employees, faculty, and/or students.

I hope this provides some clarity for you.

And again my point is that NONE of this was hardly ever heard of before our lawmakers began taking "my GOD" as you say (and yes he is) out of our country period.

For the lack of a better way to explain it, we turned our back in him so he's turned his bck on us! Not enuff people stand up for their beliefs and what's right on this country and IMO we are seeing the end results of it in this day n time.

Who pays for the city CHRISTmas trees all across the country?

Who pays the electric bills for all the lights on all those city CHRISTmas trees?

Who paid for the city, county and state roads that have a CHRISTmas parade marching down them all across the country?

What about the Police and fire department cars and trucks in those CHRISTmas parades?

Who pays the police all along the CHRISTmas parade routes all across the country?

The CHRISTmas season is when more people spend more $$$$ than at any other time of the year and without it many companies would go out of business and all their employees would be on food stamps, unemployment, ect.

When it's about $$$$ the government is all for it, especially since the government way OVER taxes everything so they make a huge pile of $$$$ too.

Mention religion and some people and members of government and the LIEberal Left go crazy.

FACT is that you can NEVER ever take Christ out of CHRISTmas!

Political correctness has always been a means by which to try to stifle and take away people freedom of speech and that's totally pathetic and BS!

Government is happy to pay for many things to keep the CHRISTmas spending alive and well for more tax $$$$ to totally waste.

Most of government today is working hard to take our rights away from us and unless people WAKE UP and understand what's going on and fight back we will wake up one day with no rights.

Football will be gone because it's too violent as will some other sports.

As to our rock and that message...I agree!

Sorry but I didn't even finish, te 2nd part of your post I can see what your sayin and as to people gettin upset cause they don't believe the same as others, well te only thing that matters in that regard is do you or they have a relationship with God and do they believe that Jesus died for our sins. After that it don't matter what religion group it is IMO. And me bein a Christian I can see where people can get upset (not mad) due to worryin about that persons salvation. Cause as a Christian your supposed to worry about your brothers n sisters and their final destination after they leve this world. And we was tasked with leading those non believers to Christ. So yea I can understand why people would be like I said upset for their salvation but not mad to the point of fighting or killing. That in my opinion would only deter people from your beliefs. But like I said this is just my beliefs n my opinion.

At this point I'm inclined to believe that you are either trolling, being willfully ignorant to the situation and the reasoning behind the memo, or possibly both.

It's not crapping on Christmas celebrations. It's abiding by the constitution. The recommendation from the administration applied to government employees using government resources.

He pretty much said not to celebrate your beliefs because it might offend someone.

The reality- if there are say 100 people at the Christmas party... About 18 of them will attend church Sunday.

Yet people say "the government" has turned its back in God.

I don't need a teacher, politician or a billboard to teach/defend/promote religion to me. That's my job.

As dysfunctional as our government is, I don't want them anywhere near my faith. They should not promote nor put down any faith. Stick to poor education, bungling engegy and mismanaging my taxes.

The reality of it- if there are 100 people at a Christmas party. 18 of them might attend church on Sunday but only 1 or 2 of them would be offended over calling it a Christmas party. You don't have to attend church every time the doors are open, to celebrate Christmas. Why should we change what we've always done based on the sensitive feelings on 1 or 2?

Taking God out of everything = people don't attend Godly functions anymore nor have a respect for God anymore.

By saying they don't attend church is the exact result of what has happened but you use it as your example.

Either you see or you don't. Either You want to see or you don't. I am so thankful I am on his side.... especially where our country and world is now. It's funny how this was all fortold.

That's a myth. The founding fathers were deists, for the most part, not theists and definitely not Christian. Thomas Jefferson himself was adamant about keeping the superstitions and mysticism of Christianity out of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Two many people playing the victim card. The narrative that will some will advance coming from the Shooting in San Bernadino last week will be that the assailants were victimized by an offensive Christmas party, and they will become the victims - the bloody corpses lying on the grounds will become the perpetrators because they dared to hold a Christmas party.

If you think that is the motive behind that massacre, I am sad for you. Maybe I've seen too much and been around too long. My Dad fought the Germans in WWII and was there the day Dachau was liberated. He saw the emaciated bodies stacked like cordwood. He knows a true victim when he saw it. I know what he'd say. "If you don't like a Christmas tree, don't go to the party". Now, we are getting to where we have to establish "safe zones" for hypersensitive people so they won't become victims because they are offended by either Santa Claus, or how people might possible misinterpret what exists between their legs. Blame it on sue happy lawyers or whatever. There is a faction of the world now that is getting ridiculous and the memo's coming out of the University now are showing that this type of mentality has some deep roots at UT. Call it progressivism or whatever. I know those who lived during the depression era and WWII, even those who were slaves and sharecroppers during those eras would shake their heads. They saw the victim card being played by true victims.

I'm pushing 60 years old, and I'd say, for the most part - my generation, as a whole, has had it softer than my parents generation - and my kids have actually had it better than that. I think its wonderful that our parents worked and sacrificed (mine did) to make the world a better place.
