What you said is true I started by asking for clarification on a point, but every was reading posts thru a blind rage and anything other than support was seen as opposition. |
The "blind rage" is apparently your interpretation of people calling you out. Plenty of people gave calm and reasoned explanations of why your objections weren't valid. You didn't simply ask for clarification, but attacked the student and others who supported his actions.
You called the student a "looser" for standing up for his rights, and you continually shifted your arguments like you were just fishing for anything to get you traction, but consistently sided with the school and keeping prayer in school, and against the student, and never explained how what you were advocating didn't violate separation of church and state.
You had plenty of opportunity to explain your position. You don't have to be a "rabidly fundamentalist atheist" to support separation of church and state, and as was pointed out, people of other faiths would have had just as much reason to object.

I will admit that when someone pushes I push back, I tend to 'reply in kind',

That's fine. You still were and are wrong, but admitting you have a temper doesn't make you look any better.
