The evil atheists and the evil government have decided that Christianity is illegal. All Christians have been jailed.
The pastor of the First Baptist Church in Villa Rica, Georgia, has responded to a group of atheists who denounced the mass baptism of the football coach and players of the Villa Rica High School, asking: "When did it become illegal to bow your head and pray? When did it become illegal to say I'm a Christian?"
The atheist organisation Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) verbally bashed the school after a video posted online last month showed the coach and players getting baptised before a football practice inside school property, claiming that the act was in violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
Responding to the complaint, Kevin Williams, the pastor of First Baptist Church, said the baptism was voluntary. "We never meant to cause any problems for the school and we never thought we would get this much media attention for baptising kids," he said.
The church held a football-themed worship service called "Gridiron Day," an event in which a coach asked the church if he could be baptised on the football field.
"It was their choice to do that," Williams said. "We live in a free nation. People choose what they want. These people that got baptised freely chose at a church service to accept Christ and this was a follow-up to that."
Williams said he believes that "we live in a free country."Actually, I wish it were illegal to be so stupid and deceitful.
"These people that are trying to say you can't do that—well—they're taking away freedom. When did it become illegal to bow your head and pray? When did it become illegal to say I'm a Christian?" he said.
