...Introduction
#16
RE: ...Introduction
Yes a few points I got him to stop and go "Ok WE're dropping this".

I also accused him of being a bigot and using Pathos to appeal to the knee jerk conservatives inherent in every american.

He responded he didn't have to be politically correct. I Said it wasn't a matter of being politically correct its being responsible since he's reaching a mass of people. And that people might take him seriously when he says "MUSLIMS DID 9-11"
This was ironic because we had Greg Mortenson there THREE days before hand talking about how not all Muslims in the middle east are terrorists (Obviously). And people cheered when he said he didn't have to be "Politically correct".


Another kid went up there and said he was an atheist it went something like this:

Frank: SO why are you an atheist?
Kid: Well...You know I had some deep thinking and introspection and came to the logical conclusion that there is no God.
Frank: You did some deep thinking *pauses for Laughter...which is answered loudly by the audience*.


I felt like such an asshat for not standing up like "Jesus" did and shouting "LET YE christians who have not felt that Warm special feeling of Jesus with No evidential proof cast the first insult".


So many other things that were wrong with his presentation.
I may not be FOR A religion I am however for the rights of people to peacefully express their belief without being stereotyped and villified by another. A muslim group is forming on my campus I think I'm going to see if I can get them to support me for barring Frank turek for coming on grounds of bigotry.

I tried but it went like this: I went to the religious groups who sponsored him. They say "Oh no, we didn't pay for it the Campus Did"...I go to the Campus offices "Oh shit we wouldn't touch that with a 30 foot pole."

I'm sorry if I seem incoherent but it gets me really upset and full of rage when I talk about him and the people in my community who thinks he's "Brilliant". Its quite evident that I'm living in a state riddled with Superstition:
17 Christian Organizations on Campus
1`Agnostic/ATheist/Freethinker/Secular Humanist group On campus
and soon to be
1 Muslim Group on Campus.


ALL PRAISE WHITE JESUS
