Apparently this caused a lot of rage and protest on the campus.

I would fucking hope so.

Did anyone catch the whispered "shut up" at 3:06? It's as of demons' voices are trying to stop her thoughts; that's about when she completely falls apart, too.

"God, bless you for giving me the ability to hear voices, even if they tell me to kill my fellow students"

Yet another reason for every graduate to consider sneaking a paintball gun in under their gown.

I'd hate to be a Jewish teacher who gets her as a student.

What the heck? Are you reverse-trolling here or something? Shouldn't you be accusing her of not hating gays enough or something?

Billy Buttsex
I was fine with not fighting you guys too much on this one until the Fag Patrol down there started bashing Scynne for being a good person.

zatojones
All it takes to be valedictorian is making good grades. Even dimwits can do that if they work hard enough at it. I have a feeling her life was pretty much studying and Jesus and nothing else.

I dunno, I always assumed you had to have serious brains to get straight As in any college environment. Then again, I really (honestly) wouldn't know.

Merkwuerdigeliebe
In complete agreement with Hippo.

Old_Zircon
No, college is pretty lightweight, intellectually. You just have to work hard and not be a complete fuckup and you'll do fine. You can actually learn, too, but it's not really mandatory.

In 15 years, she will either be a devoted, pseudo-stay-at-home mom (unless she's got serious money and can afford the real thing), or the biggest whore to ever grace the reunion party.

And that guy was really taking the whole thing in stride. Stand there, glance up at the crazy, flip though booklet, calmly take over microphone as student hits the floor, ask for an ambulance, closing remarks, cookies and punch

I wish people praised me so I could go online and see all the silliness done in my name.

My 5 stars are for the ending. Call an ambulance and pass the salt, we got shit to do...

The ending was AMAZING. Her all sobbing quietly behind the podium as life just went on without her.

INTERNET PROTESTS. FIRST SCIENTOLOGISTS AND NOW THIS.

So then, God likes his followers to act like drama queen, zealot, douchebags or what? Cuz if I was a god and had followers like this, I'd be embarrassed.

IrishWhiskey
I'm just going to assume thats a joke.

The guy next to her really should have known to stop that from the beginning. When the Valedictorian at a Graduation is decrying the sin of intellectualism, something has gone wrong. He even does a double-take at that, but somehow decides not to interrupt until she's convulsing.

Scynne
Not joke.

Screwtape

Matthew 6:5-6

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

BIBLOWNED

Scynne
But are we not called to boldly preach boldly, letting our actions shine for all to see, that they, through us, may see the glory of God? She does not seem to bepraying for her own glory.

Scynne
The verse you gave, Screwtape, was referring to the Pharisees, who prayed in the streets to show their piousness to all those, that they might be raised up in the eyes of their fellow man.

Mordant
How is this girl not being just like the Pharisees?

Scynne
Well, people don't seem to be singing her praises, for one.

Ahriman the Creepy Lurker
Scynne, this woman is exactly what Matthew 6:5 is preaching against, you fucking twit.

Billy Buttsex
Hey-- leave Scynne the fuck alone.

NoCode
5 stars for the crazy and also for Screwtape.

Scynne: Most of the people here on poe-tv are atheists. The rest are not crazy idiots. (the exception being theSnake. He is an idiot and possibly crazy as well.)

Nobody cares about your scripture-quoting. Even the Devil can quote scripture. This bitch was pure insanity, she's so out of control that she floods her system with adrenaline just by thinking about Jee-zus, and that speech was completely inappropriate for a public college.

If you can't separate your zealotry from your common sense and see that everything about that video was sad and wrong, then you are a gigantic faggot.

nocash
How pissed off would you be if she was a Muslim and gave a valedictorian speech about Allah?

Billy Buttsex
Two things, you guys.

1) Yes, the woman's a little overzealous and a little rude, but leave Scynne alone. He's just cautious about making fun of her because he knows she's trying to do a good thing for Jesus (even though she failed miserably and definitely hurt more than helped).

2) This is a Christian country. You don't see anyone here telling Iranians to shut up if someone delivers a Christian speech at an Iranian university. Get over it and stop acting like we're a multicultural land of hugs.

Ahriman the Creepy Lurker
Two things, faggot:

1) A little overzealous? The woman is a gibbering, bigoted nut.

2) Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, that's cute kid. Let us know when you've passed the Rights & Responsibilities class you'll be taking when you get to high school and then we'll talk.

Scynne
Billy Butsex, you'll do all right in the world :D

Kids (and by this I mean Scynne and Billy), this is POETV, mathematically depicted below.

POETV = Strange videos + derogative comments + LULZ

It's not that hard to understand, so I don't see why waste your precious time typing: LEAVE TEH GIRL ALONE SHE TRULY BELIEVES IN JEEBUS AND THE BIBLE SAYS WE NEED TO STAND BY GOD'S WORD!!!!!!!1111 HERE IS SOME BIBLE SCRPTURE:

"And the Lord said: all ye who post on POETV are faggots" Ukulele 5:69

Christianity is practiced by 76% of the population in the US and falling. Woot! It's idiots like this chick that drive more away from the thought slavery that is religion.

crayondisaster
Last time I checked, this country didn't have a stated religion, unless some crazy shit has been happening while I was slaughtering animals for my crazy pagan gods. And Iran doesn't really have a constitution that separates religion from state. I think a public college kind of counts as state.

IrishWhiskey
I suppose Billy Buttsex has a point in asking for more civility, as some of the comments have...

...oh what's that? He refers to people who disagree with him as "the fag patrol" earlier on the page? Never mind.

Aelric
well, this has been off the front page for weeks now, but i gotta say, both sides are acting like they just graduated the school of jackassery.

billy, scynne: do as you please. i'm an atheiest but not the beligerent type. what you want to worship is none of my buisness and if it brings you happiness, more power to you. that said, honestly, i don't think jesus would be referring to anyone as the fag patrol. the key to preaching is patience. scynne seems a bit better at this. also, scynne, while you make a better preacher than billy, it's hard not to say that this chick is REALLY out there, and not in that pentecostal speaking in tongues kind of way, but in that blind to the world around her kind of way. intellectual pursuit has brought mankind medicine and technology, which she is decrying. if god didn't will it, theoretically, we'd still be in mud huts.

everyone else: despite being on your side, i think you guys get WAY too venomous about this shit. acting like this makes the zealots hate us more driving to to further their "fundamentalism". there will always be worshipers of all kinds, and those who don't. either side one is on, we're all in the same pig sty, so why force each other to eat shit?

both sides: debate and screaming are two very different things.

j lzrd / swift idiot
Hi there Scynne. I've seen you in passing from time to time on the forums and around here in the comments. You seem like a stand-up guy, an honest human being, a pretty damn decent soul. You're okay in my book. Nothing is going to change that, unless you decide it should by acting like a total jerk.

But please.

PLEASE.

If I wanted to read your book, I would have by now. Believe me when I say I've had plenty of opportunities. Being brought up in a Unitarian household does a lot of good towards becoming a sane member of society later in life, with a few exceptions.

And please, if you're going to quote something, try and quote the original author. You know, that illiterate, nomadic goat-herder in the sky who keeps seeing fit to talk through other people's mouths instead of simply proving he exists. What was his name again? Abrahamic religions confuse me in general, and it's not just what the proper name for The Boss is; they tell me one thing, and then tell me another, contradictory thing, and then they tell me the two things they just said are not mutually exclusive...

All I want to know is the name, home address, and phone number of the man in charge, so I can file a list of complaints.




Now, Scynne, to get back to you, I'm honestly surprised at your candor. You don't seem to care what other people think about what you think, which of course is a strong moral value in your circle of peers. However, like I said, you also seem to have a brain up there above your shoulders and spine. If I could perhaps talk with you later, I'd like to know how you deal with the dissonence of being both intelligent and religious.

Respond if you want.

j lzrd / swift idiot
Also, substitute "Dan Lacey" for "Scynne" and I wouldn't have to change a single word of what I said.

We'll talk about this when we talk about this.
