In health class today, we had a guest speaker. He started out talking about how drugs are bad , because he was meant to come it and tell us smoking is bad. Well, I don't know how it led to it, but he began to talk faith. "Those who are faithless are causing America to crumble." I got angry at that, he's blaming Athiests for America's economy. I didn't say anything because I wanted to be respectful to the guy. He had an artificial voice box, so he's been through alot.

Do you go to a public school?
That's unacceptable. I would have walked out. People like that don't deserve your respect.

That is really messed up. Personally, I would have been really rude on that part. Coughing, playing the p***s game, flashing satanic signs quickly, ect...
Do not get me wrong, I feel somewhat sorry for people who have gone through rough times. However, if you are doing something very rude publically, especially in school, and you do not have a mental problem, I will not give you any remorse. Especially if your proselytizing a group.

That is so rude I would have got mad too. can't believe someone would say that we aren't the ones making America crumble it's most of the world. I think he's a guest speaker he is suppose to tell us good things not stupid crap like that I would have spoke out and explain what I think.

You know, that's exactly what Hitler said about the Jews before the Holocaust.
Call him a Nazi, that's sure to piss him off, or even better, assume that Nazis are Atheistic Communists, and call him both at the same time.

Funny how this 'God' loves to punish the 'faithless' by dragging a whole bunch of innocents into this. And how does faith save one from falling to the greed and shortsightedness that crashed our economy? I am sure that most of the business elete at least pretend to be god fearing christians.

So what if the guy has to eat through a tube? A flawed argument is a flawed argument, specially if it's biased.
Correcting one's argument isn't being disrespectful, you're actually doing them a favor.

[-Erik-] So what if the guy has to eat through a tube? A flawed argument is a flawed argument, specially if it's biased.
Correcting one's argument isn't being disrespectful, you're actually doing them a favor.
I have been reading a small novel series entitled "Keys to the Kingdom" and I'm on the 5th book "Lady Friday".
When the main character wakes up, he walks over to his temporary overlord.
* The main character had to appoint a temporary overlord since the main character has other mortal things to do. *
This overlord, Dame Primus, says that their enemy, the Piper, has come back after years of being gone and returns.
* Long ago, the Piper stole thousands of people, including children, and made them his servants. *
Because the Piper has powers to control the Piper's children, Dame Primus wants to execute all of the Piper's children.
Arthur, our main friend, has told Dame Primus that this would be wrong.
" You can't just kill 200 thousand Piper's children! They are alive! "
and, as our supposed leader of reason states:
" Why not? I will tell you why we should...because we can. "
Now, I hope your still awake. I think you get my point from reading this. Now matter what title you give someone, there is a great possibility that they will want to do something that is morally wrong in the eyes of another.
In this case, this speaker who is SUPPOSED to be higher then the students, tried to proselytize his views onto the class. I'm not surprised the class didn't go in an uproar. Then again, this IS America.
