... And Now The Opposite Of Science

[bloodyrosemccoy]

I don’t know about you, but I would have walked out if my valedictorian even offered a benediction, much less if she called her whole class sinners and then threw a religious fit. But walking out that early means I would have missed the part where she fell down. Protesting often means making sacrifices.

My favorite part is near the beginning when she asks God to forgive everyone for committing the gross sin (?!) of going to college. At a college graduation.

I also like how bored and then uncomfortable the dude (dean? principal? president?) behind her starts to get when she keeps going.

I dunno, I think it's possible to self-induce a fit like that if you get into the correct mental state. But you do have to work yourself up to ecstasy--you can't just go from zero to eighty instantly. And she did it in a VERY inappropriate place.

I think one of the creepiest things I ever saw was in the movie Jesus Camp when a bunch of 8-12-year-olds had a mass religious fit. Watching a little girl sob and moan and and speak in tongues = really, REALLY disturbing. Fanatics are messed up.
