Please cite an instance where a student has been punished for praying in a public school. We prayed in my school and even had a convocation for graduation (in the interest of full disclosure I will note that for younger students we had a blatent violation of the Constitution whereby part of our class time each week was allowed to be used for religious instruction by our churches outside the school, we got bussed to our churches and then brought back to school. It may be that my public school system was more religious than most. BTW, it was as a result of this that I became a Christian in the first place.)
If it happens in the middle of a football game on the 50 yard line, yeah. If it happens in your bedroom how would they know about it? But that doesn't just apply to gay sex.
It was Christians who opposed the SCOTUS' ruling against soddomy laws. This is private consentual behavior. No one is arguing for the right to have sex in public, so pleas take this strawman elsewhere.
Yes. What's your point?
My marriage is none of your business. You people had no right to make it more difficult and more expensive to get. I'm still pissed about that.
No. That's an individual choice.
While you may say that, there are Christians who do not believe in such a "liberal" attitude. Furthermore, y'all are fighting to keep the words "under God" in the PoA. If my children are forced to say the PoA, they will be forced to profess a belief in a deity. That is not a matter of individual choice.
No, put Christians are being harrassed if they try to take a moment for themselves.
Organized school prayer is illegal. Taking a moment for yourself is not. Forcing every kid in school to take a "moment of reflection" is simply forcing kids to pray by the back door.
No. But if Christians are forced to be indoctrinated with Religious Evolution it only seems fair to have equal time.
There's no such thing as Religious Evolution. Since yuo think kids should equal time for religous instruction and science, do you think kids should also be nistructed that math is complete BS?
No. Christians learn about these too.
Actually, they can opt out with parental permission. That doesn't change the fact that Christians tried to keep SexEd out of schools, have tried to get it removed, and have no resorted to "abstinence-only" programs which tell blatent lies such as "Condom don't work." That last lie is being taught at the public schools in the high school's in my city, by a faith-based, i.e., Christian, abstinence-only group.
Ditto from the Christians.

Secularists don't force any false or ostensibly otherwise down anyone's throats.
