He didnt know that prayer by heart

Courageous. Maybe could have talked about the Lord, or the Lord's Prayer during the speech instead, but still pretty brave of that person to do that in such an arena. Im sure some people didnt appreciate religion being pushed down their throats though.

I don't really have a problem with what he did, but does anyone remember the last time a nonbeliever made a public gathering to listen to some kind of anti-religious or atheist invocation?

This is a perfect example of religious, false-persecution complex. The school decided to use a moment of silence instead of the Lord's Prayer because it would allow all people to say their own prayers individually, or do whatever pertained to their beliefs during that time. Is there anything unreasonable about that? On the contrary, treating that as persecution against religion (really, it's more pro-religion, since it abandons the exclusive Christisn focus, as all secularism is) seems unreasonable and childish on the part of Christians.

Well put.

On second thought, I think that what he did was out of place and unnecessary, though I still believe it to be courageous. Just a bit misguided.

[Stone Cold]

u would applaud him if he was talking about being gay and proud tho

 

[dennis roadman]

is this supposed to be courageous? he just said someone else's words instead of a relevant speech concerning high school graduates.

christians: dwindling of absolute authority in the public sphere does not equal persecution. we are not christian iran
