Shannon Spaulding: Valedictorian != Intelligent

This is a gem. A local HS graduation is turned into a revival by the class valedictorian.

"I want to tell you that Jesus Christ can give you eternal life in heaven," Spaulding said before the crowd. "If we die with that sin on our souls, we will immediately be pulled down to hell to pay the eternal price for our sins ourselves."
She says that, then exposes the vacuity of her skull by following up with:
Spaulding told Channel 4 she was not aware of the controversy and stands behind everything she said.

"I was not trying to force anything on anybody. I just wanted to tell them something I knew was important to me and wanted to have them a chance to hear," Spaulding said.
Riiiiiight...masochists out there can listen to the whole 20 minutes of mind-numbing regurgitation of her childhood indoctrination sessions here. What's hilarious is imagining if an atheist got up and spent their 20 mins talking about the mythological roots of Christianity and the nonexistence of god. The RR would storm the stage and fire every superintendent in sight.
