Thank you for representing non-believers, Josh. Atheists everywhere need to be heard.

I went to Josh's debate on Morality at UNCG. He was the best!

Joshua, awesome comment. I commend you for standing up and speaking out. We have done the same in several cities where I live and, hopefully, have made an impact, if not on the government officials, the public listening. You have made a a great impression on at least some people.

Well as a Christian I always find it funny for people to still be doing a prayer before things and after that prayer all manner of hell ensues! Its funny to me, but I do agree that a moment of silence is better because it allows anyone and everyone to use that moment how they see fit. And I mean even if I wanted prayer before something I wouldn't want someone else praying for things I didn't want to get done. So stop trying to put God into things you've already taken him out of.

[doncharlie24]

So awesome I came out of my ears.

[NinjaStarODavid]

Very, very well spoken.

[ChaoticSupernova]

Well said.

[doesmykeyboardwork]

take a few pauses when you speak. you had good points that could have been driven home a little better with some breaks for dramatic effect.

@doesmykeyboardwork

theres a time limit to speaking at most meetings like this. probably trying to stay under time

[DEricKesler]

Well done. Joshua Deaton, you are a warrior fighting for the rights of all the citizens of the United States of America. I thank you.

[Ackie89]

Well spoken indeed.

[jimforcy]

Well spoken.

[wilmracer]

Excellent. Good work and Good Luck. As a UNCW Grad I know how that area can be...

[djmadrox]

Well played. Very good arguments.

[ajheddy]

Nicely done.

[tendonut]

What made this even more important is Joshua suggests that the city goes back to what it always did. A moment of silence. There is no reason to add prayer where there was none. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

[notintimeforpeanuts]

Well said, Josh.  Thanks.

[StarPathOne]

Awesome! Way to go Joshua!
