So cheerleaders are allowed to show Bible quotes on banners during football games at public schools. What if they were instead showing quotes from the Quran or Bhagavad Gita? Would Rick Perry have defended the right to show those?
Since the case has been decided in favor of Bible quotes I’ve made my list of quotes I’d like to see on banners at future events.
- “Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof.” Genesis 19:8
- “Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is detestable to you.” Leviticus 11:12
- “You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard.”Leviticus 19:27
And lastly because I think it is especially appropriate for cheerleaders:
“Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments.”Timothy 2:9
Put your suggestions for Bible quotes you’d like to see on banners in the comments.
