Cheerleaders forced to Cheer for Team rather than Jesus

Oggie Oglethorpe?

Oh, and yeah, America's religiosity isn't very exceptional, I'm told

Hey AR, could you please let me know where you live so I can dig up articles that cast your area in a negative light and heckle you with them?

You all could have a field day with Massachusetts!

I wonder how quoting scripture feels like while showing midriff.

High school cheerleaders don't show midriff, usually.

That's a pity. Or not, I guess. So which ones do, then?

Pros and some colleges.  High school cheerleaders' uniforms are typically fairly conservative- the raciest our cheerleading squad got was a sleeveless version of the sorta-sweaterish long-sleeved top they usually wore.

Also, in all but the best weather, at least a couple of the girls in our cheerleading squads were guaranteed to be avoiding bloomers shots by wearing sweatpants under the skirts.

I never quite understood the concept of praying (or otherwise invoking the divine) for victory when done by both sides in a competitive sport event when both sides follow the same god. If one side wins, does it mean the other side was not praying hard enough or is simply abominable to god?

Pro team cheerleaders.

The point is not to pray for victory, but to pray for strength to put on your best game.  That way, when you lose the game, you can say that it's just because God hates you.

I would like to thank God for helping me with this post, and I would like to just say that Jesus is awesome.

It isn't just about winning:

I have a special friend. . . He's the Baby Jesus and I love him and. . .he don't give me no shit... and he don't fuck around and he's just the fucking coolest guy and I wanna say I love the Baby Jesus.

I can't say it enough. I love the Baby Jesus and I think. . .he's the best... thing and he's really great when he shares his love because he's got enough love for everybody. You know what I mean? I can't even see a manger without thinkin' about him, eh?

I just love the Jesus. I've only been into him for a couple of hours though, but I'm *really* into him.

Do you really fail to understand why a religious person might want to pray to their God?

It is one thing to disagree with their reasons but to admit that you dont actually understand why they do it.  Now that is truly astounding.
