Freedom of religion means ANY religion.

I'm with the pirate/kid. If full pirate regalia is what is demanded by the holy FSM, then full pirate regalia it shall be!

NOPE-NOPE-NOPE!

Because if it's okay for a school to say the Muslim girl can't wear her full-face veil (which I believe it is), then it's okay for them to say the pirate kid can't wear his disruptive outfit.

Then I want the god squad kids around here to have to stop wearing their shirts that say "Body Piercing Saved My Life" in reference to the crucifixion.

I was being facetious.

besides, I thought the full face veil was a cultural thing? Anyway, the Muslim girls at our local HS wear the head scarf veil thing. Doesn't cover their faces, though.

Yeah, I wasn't pointing my finger directly at you, Bri. There was also that thread not too long ago about the girl with the Tigger socks at school...

If someone can wear their star of David or their cross, he can wear his costume.
Remove all religion, then remove it.
Allow it... then allow it.

I suspect that your point is that the Star of David and the Cross are symbols of something just as made up as the FSM.

Why can't he wear a pirate's outfit? He is just trying to make a scene and get attention but you can't disallow him from wearing it.

It's all just made-up. It was not disguised as a point, I am saying it as a fact.

But as usual, your "facts" are you're bullshit opinion.

All religions are something that somebody just made up. Of course, there's much more to it than that, and there are many more differences between various religions than there are similarities, but they all share that one core attribute: being something that somebody made up. This isn't even debatable; this is the definition of a fact. We can thrash around in the quagmire of semantics surrounding this fact, but it's not going anywhere.
