I love how it's turned into an "omg why don't you believe in god" fest and most people completely ignored the purpose of the post. The list of speakers was up but it didn't say they were only speaking about religion. Seeing that a reverend is speaking at a rally like that would lead you to believe that maybe the reverend had something pertinent to say on the subject and was dedicated to the cause that you were told you were showing up to support, not that he was using it as a platform to push his own completely unrelated agenda.

I actually went to Dodge County High School for one semester before I decided to drop out or high school and get the hell out of Dodge(pun intended). One of my favorite and most annoying conversations I had with one of the super christian kids was that they had faith in the bible because the bible says to have faith, I'll never get how you can believe in something just because it tells you to.

I thought your letter was great and this whole thread cracks me up.
