To the Athiest among us. First mythology has nothing to do with it. God has been a part of life since way before you decided that you did not need to submit to authority. Your stance on God has nothing to do with this issue. It is about respect and patriotism. If any religious group including athiest (and your religion is that there is no religion) gatherings requested my attention to a time honored tradition I would hope that I would respect the group enough to abide by their request or not go where these requests would be made. You can decide to stay away jast as easily as you can decide to attend. Everybody in America wants their freedoms but they have forgotten that a high price is paid for freedom and If we are to maintain our freedom we had better get back to the basics that made this country what it is. This country was build on Christian beliefs and the belief in God in our lives. If you can not accept that then find a new place to live that has no God. But leave mine alone and let America get back to invoking God into daily life and allowing God to bless this country again. The overall neglect of God by this country is causing it to fall just like other nations befor it. We can stop the distruction but first we have to aknowledge God as our supreme guide for life. Do not bother responding to this comment because I won’t be back for round two. Just think about it. If it were not for God and the men and women that died to establish this country you would have no freedoms. God Bless America and ignorant people. Let God do the punishing when the time is right.
What no one is commenting on is that this was probably resolved because it was cheaper to pay the Boston fan & the ACLU off than to fight against this nonsense. You can sue anybody for anything and almost ALL civil suits have some kind of nuisance value. That is what this appears to be – a nuisance value claim. As a claims adjuster, I am interested in the factual evidence and other evidence to support that this fan got kicked out of the ball game. For all we know, he could have been releiving himself against a wall in the mens room & got kicked out for that or maybe he was drunk & disorderly or maybe he was cursing the umpire – it does not matter – it was resolved for nuisance value. God Bless America – only in America could this type of stupidity prevail.
Nice job Chaplain! As for another email that said they never stand up for God Bless America a little history.
First Our national Anthem did not become that for well over a century after it was written. There was vigorous debait over it instead of God Bless America. I stand, I do not cross my heart as that is a salute to our nation. I am equally stirred by either song and hope we can fend off the minority that trys to tell me I can’t mention or sing the word God in public.
Ooooorah! The tyranny of the minority (Atheists, Socialists, tree huggers et al) and the “professionally offended” rule in NYC and increasingly everywhere else. With rights come responsibilities and the compunction to use common sense (shudder to think). Nicely said…
Actually sir, I strongly support your right to mention god in public and for the Yankees or any other private company to play God Bless America if they choose.
What I resent is being told that if I choose to quietly leave my seat to go to the mens room while it’s being played, I need to be thrown out of the stadium.
I strongly support religious freedom despite my disagreement with your beliefs. I have no quarrel with you publicly expressing your beliefs. All I ask is that I not be required to join you. Throwing that fan out was wrong, period. The playing of God Bless America is in no way wrong.

I think you would be surpried how often the bottom-dwelling scum-suckers take home more than the client who suffered the “injury”.
What does ‘mythological god’ mean ?

Mythological – Adj – of or relating to mythology or myths; lacking in factual basis or historical validity. Sounds about right to me.
“time honored tradition”? – dating all the way back to 9/11?
