At Midwestern State University, an evangelical Christian student named Mary King gave a graduation benediction prayer. By the end of which she was literally frothing at the mouth. During her spring commencement benediction, she asked God to forgive her fellow students for their sins. In particular she begged forgiveness for the sin of using their time to get a university education instead of devoting their lives to prayer. After demanding that her audience repent for their caps and gowns, King collapsed, crying and gasping for air. University President Louis Rodriguez, not recognizing these symptoms of Holy Spirit infestation, called an ambulance. As a result of the incident, the MSU Faculty Senate voted 8-7 to remove prayer from future commencements. But President Rodriguez vetoed the decision.

P.S. This is not a Christian university, nor even a private one - it is a public university in Texas.

11. I wonder what she's up to today?

Hopefully the ambulance they called was of the 'nice men in white coats' variety.

3. It's sad. Pretty messed up.

This is unfortunately what fundie churches do. We used to call churches that taught like this "cults".

4. I'll have what she's having.

Oh, wait.
Actually, I don't want anything to do with what she's trying to peddle.

5. Oh my GAWD, Ah have jist witnessed a Jaysus Orgasm!

8. "I'm coming, Jesus, I'm COMING!!!"

Seriously, I thought that too ...

6. That kind of thought can only lead to bad places.

We repent worshiping the intellectual mind? It's that kind of nonsense that is helping our country drive itself deeper and deeper into mediocrity. Is it any wonder we really are the laughingstock of the rest of the world? And we're afraid that Iran is a theocracy? These characters would build one of their own right here. Republicans foam at the mouth for a patriarchal authoritarian state where they rule in the name of God

7. Are you kidding? I thought this must be a Christian university

This woman was having a fit alright. It's the sort of thing that Pentacostals do in church. At least the one's I've seen.

Perhaps they'll screen those who give the benediction in the future. They must be of sound mind at the very least. Sad that the Uni president vetoed the faculty decision to remove prayer from future commencements.

9. but if a "liberal" made a speech as passionate as that, and collapsed,

you'd be hearing how God was striking the speaker down ...

10. you know, she will watch this someday when she gets older and wiser

and smack herself in the head OMG I WAS AN IDIOT WHEN I WAS 21!!

12. that cool cat who comes on the mike after she passed out

is remarkably collected. he's just like "ok then, let's move on".

[ellenfl]

14. 'we have just heard the benediction, we will now start the

processional'. apparently the faculty was prepared for this incident as they didn't seem too concerned. that was truly weird.

and she grew up to be . . . sarah palin! ok, maybe they just go to the same church.

15. "We have just heard the 'What The FUCK?!?!?', we will now start the processional."

:rofl:

[ericinne]

16. I have a theory

I think I know why she passed out.

The evidence is at time mark 0:15

Forgive for worshiping the intellectual mind?

She couldn't handle the truth that everything they were feeding her was probably bullshit and she passed out from shock.

[Quantess]

17. Wow. Mental illness on stage.

Why was she even allowed to speak at the graduation?

[ericinne]

18. Because

Jesus demanded it. duh!!

19. When she faints she needs humans...He should have asked the Jesus to call the ambulance for her.(nm)
