Georgia Town Stands Up To Anti-Christianists

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

Residents of Gainesville, Georgia are telling an anti-Christian organization to mind their own business and to quit attempting to bully their children.

The anti-Christian American Humanist Association has been harassing the Chestatee High School officials and students because of the football team’s staff participating in team prayers and for religious messages appearing at times in team documents.

Over 200 people showed up for an unplanned prayer rally in the middle of the football field Wednesday morning with a simple message: stay out of our town.

“I am a mom of two of the football players on the CHS football team and I consider it an honor and a privilege to have my boys on a team that is led by men that believe and trust in God,” a woman said. “I think it’s a shame for one person to try and take that away from them.”

The anti-Christianists say that offenses include coaches “having clasped hands with players” while prayers were taking place and that cheerleaders once held a banner that said “Iron sharpens iron, Proverbs 21:17.”

“The liberal atheist interest groups trying to bully Chestatee High School kids say they have a reason to believe that expressions of religious freedom are ‘not an isolated event’ in Northeast Georgia,” Congressman Doug Collins wrote in a statement to Fox News. “They’re right. In Hall County and throughout Georgia’s 9th district, we understand and respect the Constitution and cherish our right to worship in our own way.”

Collins said it was interesting that the American Humanist Association is focusing on harassing Christian students at the same time Christians are being killed in Iraq for simply being Christians.

“It’s utterly disgusting that while innocent lives are being lost in Iraq and other places at the hands of radical religious terrorists, a bunch of Washington lawyers are finding the time to pick on kids in Northeast Georgia,” he said.

  1. I can not even begin to explain how proud I was of this town and it’s trend setting people as I read this article. I pray that this attitude these people have about “enough is enough” spreads like a virus that we ARE Christians and WE will stand together to proclaim that we are proud of our Lord Jesus. He held nothing back, and gave it His all, so we owe it to Him to stand firm for His name. Jesus is Lord.

  2. Amen to both comments!! It is time for a revival in all churches. I have been passive way to long about our Lord Jesus, and His love for us, and what He did for us and the promise is for us to spend eternity with Him in Heaven! How can it get any better? I live in Georgia, and my family lives in Gainesville, and I am so proud of this school for not holding back, and putting God first!!. Go away and be planted in the sea Satan!! I know God wants all of his children saved, so I pray the antichrists have the veil removed from their eyes, in the name of Jesus.

  3. I agree with you Bonnie 100%! one day these people that are causing all of these problems for the Christians will wish to God that they hadn’t and they will see but I’m afraid it will be to late and they become lost for ever. Time is almost out and the Christians are going to be caught up in the Heavens with our Lord and Savior very soon.

  4. WAY TO GO!!!!! It’s time, we as Christians stand up for the rights God gave us. We do have that right, It’s in our Constitution. It’s time for the Church to rise up. Hold up a standard, and show that we are different. The body of Christ has blended into the world for so long, people don’t know what Christ looks like. We have got to be different. We have got to show the people WHO GOD IS !!!!!!!!! NOW, IN THIS TIME, MORE THAN ANY OTHER TIME
