He is being paid to teach not preach. If its on his own time away from the school and some players are discussing things pertaining to Christianity then there is nothing wrong with it. When its on the dime and the time of the school he is coaching it should be off limits.

i'm not familiar with the story of Tommy Bowden but if he's coaching at a public school then NO it's not wrong for people to be mad at him. it's wrong for him to be proselytizing to other people's kids. if parents wanted their children indoctrinated into any religious dogma they'd send their children to the parochial school of choice not to a public school where there are children from a diversity of backgrounds attending, many of whom are not Christian.

I think theists and non-theists alike generally agree that it's not a coaches job. I mean assume that a key player is jewish or muslim or atheist. The coach by preaching it going to irritate the non-christian player possibly to the point where they don't play as good as they should be able to.

I love the way Christians try to "spread" christianity as if it's some sort of disease. But really, this is a double edged sword. On the one hand, it is good to get people to think and talk about the eternal, on the other hand, no one has the right to tell me how to believe.

Horton Hears A Who had a Christian undertone. in simple terms like human beings around Horton did no longer have faith that he would desire to take heed to a voice on that little speck... many each physique is skeptics regarding the existance of God. yet even with what human beings think of - there fairly is a GOD... and that replaced into depicted as there have been many individuals that lived on that little speck that Horton had. i comprehend that the C.S. Lewis video clips even have Chistian meanings, nonetheless i do no longer think of they're disney. Christians do no longer draw their innovations or innovations from fiction, yet from data (the Bible, historic previous, technology, from the Holy Spirit).. yet many video clips and/or fairy thoughts would draw their innovations from Christian impact.

No. The coach is there to teach the sport, the teamwork, and the work ethic, not to spread a religion.
With all due respect, think of it this way...would YOU have a problem if the coach was trying to teach the Muslim faith?

Yes why not if he firmly believes in his religion and from his point of view is doing well so why not I believe this is a divine mission to spread words of God
by the way I am Moslem and try to do the same like him because I believe in Islam and in one God only.

During his hours of work, no, it is not appropriate. The school is paying him to coach not to preach about religion. It is called stealing company time.
After work or on his personal time, no issue. He can do whatever he wants.

He's a coach, not a preacher. He's supposed to be helping the kids play soccer.
