So if there is a high school with a largely Muslim population, they can call themselves the Warriors For Allah and wave banners saying Smash the Infidels at football games?

LOL, so many people never stop and think where ending the separation between church and state can lead. Not to mention that the primary reason for that separation is to prevent the state messing with the church, not the other way around.

But let's face it, there are plenty of people who would not be unhappy with a somewhat theocratic government in the US....

...as long as it's the "right" religion and not those scary Evil Others.

The last shall be first and the first last....

Suma -

That's pretty funny. God is on their side, but the team can't score.

I've always felt it was the height of hubris to believe that God wants your team to win. My bet would be that if there were a God, it would have other things on its mind.
