[Granny Bear]

No worries Granny Bear. I recognize you and a few of the other posters as good people from following your posts over the years. I'm just trying to bring a little perspective to the situation.

The fact that religion can be so divisive in a government/public setting, as evidenced by this situation and some of the posts, is the whole reason that the government was told to stay out of it. And I have to confess that I've never been to a football game that was preceded by a public prayer, so I'm not sure why Bell County feels so put out about not doing what everyone else is already not doing.

JM0.....I am very grateful that we ALL have our opinions and are free to express and debate them......another fundamentality that was part of our country's founding.

Actually, I've never been to a football game in our part of the state (southeastern) that didn't have prayer before the game.
