Florida is only religious because its where all the old people go to die, and they grasp at anything they can while their oxygen tank gives out.As they slip into Dementia, they probably see Jesus in Burnt toast, and on the walls in bird crap.... Wait a minute .....
What if someone wanted to share Satanism with the class, how do you think that would go over?
I can tell you that the christians would be outraged, they probably would sue the school district, but if they want to tell their story about jesus and the evil yahwah, that is acceptable?
Why the double standard?
I see the same thing where I live, the people here are free to have bible study, and proselytize all they want, how do you think they would react if I were to start preaching another god?
good for her! she stood up for what she believed in, hasnt that been what we have been told since we were young? she didnt yell at the students or call them names, she presented the Gospel ina factual and respectful way.
@HaWkBeAtLeSnElSoN Good for her? I cant go on stage and tell everyone that they need to love the president and give him money and if they don't they will be arrested and tortured for the rest of their lives AND they would deserve it. To a non-Christian or a nonreligious person both statements are very offensive, not "respectful." She didn't present anything in a "factual" or "respectful" way. Nothing that she said is a fact. Shes a liar and a victim of indoctrination. Shame on her.
I don't blame the girl but rather the religious indoctrination that likely started at a young age. From her perspective, she is actually doing a very noble thing (albeit offensive from a rational worldview). I would almost question the morals of anyone who has been brainwashed to believe what she does that isn't out trying to convert people. If you are brainwashed to believe that most people around you are going to be tortured for eternity, and you don't try to "save" them, then you are an ass
What a beautiful message to hear... a naked man died on a cross and went to Heaven so you can go to Heaven. If you don't believe in a whole shit ton of crap along with said story, you "deserve" eternal suffering that will endlessly go on, each day technically being infinitely worse than the actual cross situation (hey, people are depicted as giving Jesus water during it. You ever get a water break in Hell?)... great thing to hear during a ceremony about your future or your child's future.
this girl is made of *facepalm*. i hope if she was originally accepted to a good college... that she was immediately kicked. shit like this wont stand in a world class educational institution where the stage has become the world, and not some backwater little town/city in the US.
So, a girl standing up in a ceremony and telling those there that if they don't agree with her about a bronze age myth they will burn for all eternity, that's ok? What the hell is happening to this country?
"It was important to ME" she says. "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."
This girl was chosen valedictorian because of her acumen. Yet I'm left scratching my head as to why this supposedly very intelligent person would preach the tenets of a belief system that has failed in proving its ties to the supernatural. In its 2000 yr history, Christianity has never been able to justify its claims of supernatural origins and ties. Yet she makes positive claims in absolute terms about something she can know absolutely nothing about. Doesn't sound intelligent to me
@nosajj12345 You don't need to be intelligent to pass the curriculum of America's public schools. How many tests are multiple choice? Way too many. I know it makes the teacher's jobs easier, but it doesn't do any good for the students. Also, I've heard kids can opt out of being taught evolution. That's disgraceful. Evolution is a fact, but these kids get the idea that it's "just a theory" when they're able to opt out of it.
Religion is poisonous to society and it seems like everyone's oblivious
Mark 12:38-44 "As he taught, Jesus said, 'Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted in the marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely.
Lol, i wonder what christian people like them would think if a muslim valedictorian told them during his/her speech, that if they didn't accept allah being the one true god and muhammad was his true prophet, that they would all burn in hell. It's not a one way street. Personally in my opnion, we should enforce separation of church and state and not let people like her be a driving influence for the greater education for this country. What an ignorant american girl she is.
@Demon666Evil Allah is the same as the Christian God. Allah is just Arabic for God. And its not apart of Islamic belief that if you don't believe in Muhammad as being the final prophet of Allah that you go to hell. The Koran makes that clear.
@werlcad42 Well i can tell you that many christians as well as many muslims would disagree that allah and the christian god are the same. Also, have you seriously read the koran because reading this statement makes me question. but thanks for the comment

@macgeek2004 Ok so I was wrong about the socialist part (god damn propaganda) but I still think you're dangerously insane. My best friends are christian.
@Polterguist Don't hate Jesus. He didn't know stupid bitches and assholes were going to be nonsensically defending him by doing the EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE SAID thousands of years later.
@BlameRepublicans Hitler was also a German, a Socialist, and a possessor of a unique sense of fashion. I'm not a fan of Christianity either but don't categorize, idiot! It's not as likely to cause a problem but if you want to be vague about comparing people to Hitler, may I point out YOU'RE trying to convince people to generically hate a religious group? X-P
No he was NOT a Socialist. Socialism says the workers must own the means of production (in other words government owned business only) He rounded up and killed Labor Union members. He was a right wing Christian. Spread the *true* word about Hitler. He was the German equivalent to a US Christian Republican.
@BlameRepublicans Ok so I was wrong about the socialist part (god damn propaganda) but I still think you're dangerously insane. My best friends are christian.
Respond to this video... Oh, and PS: a lot of the Ali soldiers were Christian too so do we just ignore that to support you're argument? You can find extremes of both good and evil in every example and you're hateful talk is only the product of cooked books. You can't even say that sick minds are always bad. Look at Vangogh! So before you try to manipulate people, evaluate human beings individually for their levels of good and evil or you're just as bad as these "Right-winged Christians"!
I don't understand your post. Suffice to say - evil people will do evil things - but to get a good person to do evil things - well - that takes religion.
@BlameRepublicans Ok, at least when I posted it I thought I was being pretty clear but I'll rephrase if I was confusing. Never the less, that does not at all prove you're statement. Please try to understand this time because I think avoiding my argument by pointing out technical flaws repeatedly like this is making you look very unprofessional and therefore, most likely wrong.
@BlameRepublicans Hitler was a lot of things like any human being regardless of how horrible. For every category, not just Christianity, that Hitler fell into, there were more or less others that fit into that category. For every category of people, we cannot assume each one is, behaves like, or even in the slightest agrees with Hitler. Why? Because only the sum of these characteristics right down to having the same parents and the same emotional defects makes HITLER Hitler.
@BlameRepublicans And on the assumption that only Hitler is Hitler and therefore no one else had the exact same impact on the world, we can only accurately judge individuals and the actions they took; Hitler, Mussolini, Jesus, Buddha, or Lindsey Lohan. Furthermore, if it WAS necessary to judge an entire group, considering I'm sure that you would ask me to explain Nazis, the much better, yet still not fool proof, way is to evaluate the beliefs.
@BlameRepublicans There are a lot of things to dislike about Christianity (the condemning of gays, the condoning of slavery, the insistent that anyone who doesn't follow the religion should be murdered and then will be eternally tortured, and the mysterious sudden disappearance of two levels of the afterlife that supposedly god had wanted there for centuries but even though he's all knowing, suddenly doesn't want... the list goes on and on) but not any amount of the people following it.
@stevenkjv15 My point was the parent who wasn't happy with the speech didn't seem to have that southern accent stereotypically associated with Southern Fundamentalist Christians; in contrast to the parent who was happy with the speech.
Proof that any MORON can obtain degree. Studying for grades is something anyone outside of a retard can do, thanks to the American education system and the like. A true education on the other hand, requires actual intelligence, critical thinking, integrity, evidence, proof, & honesty. And guess what? It can actually be acquired for free. Go figure.
The scariest thing about this is that she has the right to vote and she will procreate & raise her children.
Would the people that supported her if she preached out of the Koran? Would they have clapped and cheered? If she espoused views of Mohammad instead of Jesus, would her condemnation of non-believers been as easily accepted?
@gortews No, anyone with a brain knows that it is wrong for anyone of any religion to do what this young lady did. Are you saying that the American public tends to 'go easier' on Muslims and other religions, as to not offend them? If that is what was in between the lines of your comment, I can understand your thinking...if you watch FOX News. :/
Yep! I couldn't agree more. ^_^ I'm an atheist and I'm going to be valedictorian, but you will NEVER see me give a speech about how wonderful atheism is and how everyone else is wrong; especially at a school function. People have the right to their own opinions! This girl's ridiculous.
I don't care what her test scores are--she's a fanatic. Imagine yourself in the audience, a captive audience if you want to see your child graduate--and you're a devout Christian. Then the valedictorian is an atheist, and instead of providing a speech appropriate for the occasion, provides instead a sermon about how stupid and wrong your religion is. Does this help you to see how wrong this young lady is? Is she accomplished? Sure. Intelligent? Maybe, but not so sure. Indoctrinated? You bet.
@TomAdams20 She "believes" that I deserve to burn forever. Guess what: That kind of insult is often considered just a teensy bit "rude" at a formal occasion.
For illustration let me just point out that I believe you deserve to be stabbed in the eyes and shat upon. Now of course, that's only my opinion, but it's nice to know I have your permission to say so, since you respect when a person isn't afraid to share what they believe. I hope my words to you are as inspirational as hers.
This mindless worthless whore giving the speech needs nigger rape, aids and ovarian cancer. I hope this subhuman subanimal subplantlife american whoress gets what it deserves which is carbon monoxide and a torching with gas. All religion is all bad all the time for all humans everywhere in the past the present and the future. Thank you.
To all Christians who applaud what she did: if it was a Muslim valedictorian, would you be in favor of them saying all non-Muslims go to hell, or an Atheist valedictorian reading passages from the God Delusion, would you be okay with it?
I'm an atheist and if it was either of the tree, I would boo the person on stage and probably walk out.
BS who the hell doesnt think relgion is controversial! Wether or not u think it was appropriet or not, this girl KNEW that it was innapropriet to do in that circumstance.
@derman077 Hey fucknut, I graduated with her, and even though her speech had me cringing and angry afterwards for her lack of concern of other peoples beliefs, you could not be more wrong. She scored a perfect score on the SAT and ACT, and had a perfect GPA. Also, since then I graduated with a degree in Engineering form the University of Florida. So, next time, before you generalize an entire group of people you don't even remotely know, just remember how fucking stupid you are on your own.
@GatorBaitUSA I asked a question. I got an answer. Touche'. No need to be an asshole about it though. I didn't vote that comment up or post this video. It appears even the intelligent can be brainwashed.
I'm wondering why the stupid ass school didn't look over her speech before she gave it. I mean when it's government sponsered you have got to be keen on this kind of shit. And shame on those who clapped for her, how dare you applaud for such ignorant tribalistic behavior on what is supposed to be a happy occasion.
Yes.. call a valedictorian an idiot... hahaha... how did you fare in high school? I'll bet you weren't number one.
I have no problem with the Muslim faith. I know a very nice Muslim family. They're very nice people. I don't hate people because of their religion.... that would make me a bigot.
Oh ya, those awful atheists! the way they preach intolerance and bigotry towards other human beings based their sexual orientation. The intolerance and bigotry they exhibit towards non-believers and those of other beliefs. Oh and let's not forget how they rudely and immorally impose their beliefs on ALL whether they agree or not without the slightest bit of objective evidence justifying this behavior.
@dex1391 "Were you being sarcastic? I couldn't tell."
LOL....yes and in the process I listed the most blatant inconsiderate, disrespectful, and immoral behaviors of your belief system. DId you not recognize them?
It just cracks me up that you could read through a list of your belief system's worst and most high profile offenses, not say a word about them, and in the same breath go and critique the supposed disrespectful behavior of another group.
I guess your point is: The bigotry of Dawkins and Hitchens is wrong but the bigotry perpetrated by your belief system is OK. Is that about the gist of it?
You call Christians bigots... when we have no problem with your beliefs.
Atheists have been attacking religious beliefs for decades (longer really) and somehow Christians (or other theists) are somehow to blame for getting attacked?
Since when do you speak for every Christian sect out there, close to 300 in the U.S. alone last I heard.
At least acknowledge that a degree of intolerance is perpetrated by certain high profile Christian sects in the U.S. When you claim Christians have no problems with what others believe, you sound pathetically obtuse. I have far more respect for Christians who admit this goes on and express their regret. They have far more class than an evasive dumb troll like U
@dex1391 SECT: A religious denomination (Merriam Webster) should of left out the "hahaha" And I encourage people to check out your channel. You are clearly obsessed with and hateful of atheists.
It would be hilarious if it wasn't such a blatant cry for help. You adhere to a belief system that preaches peace and love yet you openly express hate....oh the irony!
It's denomination... not sect. How am I hateful? All I've done is simply put YOUR OWN WORDS in one place. Don't like it? Too bad. The only ones that show hatred are atheists. My page proves that.
@dex1391 "when we have no problem with your beliefs." If you think atheists should all convert to Christianity, or that we are immoral or evil, then you have a problem with our beliefs. If this is not the case, ignore this comment.
@dex1391 I never said I believed my actions have no consequences. If I insult someone, that person's view of me will be less favorable. If I murder someone, I will be causing grief and hardship on that person's friends and family. I would never do these things to another person because of those consequences. Not because something will happen to me, but because I genuinely believe in helping others over harming others.
@dex1391 No, you're hopeless because I said "I do not believe my actions have no consequences" and you said, essentially "Yes you do!" and are now comparing me to a serial killer. You don't come across as a nice person, do you know that?
@dex1391 I'll bite and reply to your "YOU BELIEVE YOUR ACTIONS HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES" shit again. If I tap the wall, there is a sound. tap=action, sound =consequence. I hit someone, they get a large red mark on their skin and pain. hit=action, pain=cnsequence. If I act like a mean, unpleasant person, my reputation will be one of a mean, unpleasant person and my social reactions will suffer because of that. behavior=action, reputaion=consequence.
@dex1391 They get away with it. Tough shit, but that's the way the world works. You can wish there's an afterlife (that's what faith is: wishful thinking) but the harsh reality is that this is more than likely the only life you have.
Our murderer in question, however, has to live with the fact that he's a headcase.
You also forgot murderers in tribal societies where there are no police, but they burn anyway for not loving Jesus, right?
Actually no sociopaths don't get thrown in jail. sociopathy is simply is a medical disorder in which an individual is unable to feel empathy. You don't go to jail for that.
@dex1391 One other thing, because one life is all we have (FACT), that makes it all that important. Because everyone gets one chance(FACT), you have to make sure everyone's experience is as positive as you have the means to make it. If I truly did not value life, like you claim I do, I would belive in infinite reincarnations. Then it wouldn't matter if I killed something, it would just come back as something else. But nope, this is how is is: One chance. Don't blow it.
@dex1391 Because nobody has sufficient proof that any afterlife of any kind exists. Let alone spirits or souls or whatever voodoo crap you believe in.
@dex1391 I'm more of an 80% agnostic, 20% atheist, ie. I'm believing that what we see is all there is until I see proof that there's something else. I'm not claiming to know 100% that there isn't a god or some higher power like it. Just that I don't think there is. If you think uncertainty is a bad thing, then feel free to use this as your victory point.

Proof that any MORON can obtain degree. Studying for grades is something anyone outside of a retard can do, thanks to the American education system and the like. A true education on the other hand, requires actual intelligence, critical thinking, integrity, evidence, proof, & honesty. And guess what? It can actually be acquired for free. Go figure.
The scariest thing about this is that she has the right to vote and she will procreate & raise her children.

Are you saying that the American public tends to 'go easier' on Muslims and other religions, as to not offend them?

I don't care what her test scores are--she's a fanatic. Imagine yourself in the audience, a captive audience if you want to see your child graduate--and you're a devout Christian. Then the valedictorian is an atheist, and instead of providing a speech appropriate for the occasion, provides instead a sermon about how stupid and wrong your religion is. Does this help you to see how wrong this young lady is? Is she accomplished? Sure. Intelligent? Maybe, but not so sure. Indoctrinated? You bet.
