“And what’s even more sad is this is a student who really hasn’t contributed anything to graduation or to their classmates,” Quinn said.

She's fucking wrong. He just taught them a very important lesson about trying to cram their superstitions up someone else's asshole.

I must first express my disappointment. When I read in the overview box "Teenage atheist stood...", I completed that with 'In the fire'.

And no, i won't register right yet. That is because you are new (1 post, even. This post). And no introduction yet.

I've been a lurker for awhile here...but my usual hang out is on Reddit.com (reddit.com/r/atheism)

This article just pissed me off I decided to temporarily come out of lurker status..... but I'll go introduce myself if that helps.

Ironically, atheists MUST believe in God otherwise they wouldn't cause such a stir.

No, no of course we wouldn't...

It will help, I'll register once you introduce yourself

But he that shall deny me before me shall be denied before the angels of heaven. (Luke 12.9)

Of course someone quotes the big fat book of fairytales!

This really makes me mad. If they don't want to pray then stick your fingers in your ears.

Ah, yes. Plug our ears so we can be just as ignorant as these people.

What I find so ironic is if Muslims were fighting to have a Muslim lead prayer at this gradutaion, the same people throwing a fit about prayer being banned would be abolsutely furious. Let's be very clear on this issue, they are NOT defending prayer in school. They are defending THEIR prayer in school. These people are all for religious freedom and strict constitutionalism as long as it doesn't impede on their rights. Everyone else's rights can be ignored if it means spreading the word of their lord.

Sorry, but I think this kid is just obnoxious, if they want to mumble their ridiculous incantations at the sky, let em. I don't know know if they prayed at my graduation as I chose not to waste a perfectly good afternoon on that nonsense. But I'm really sick of our current obsession with getting offended over every little thing. It's nauseating.
