It was a good start, and then she got into the "I am a Christian" speech, as we've been through here ad nauseum.

We've heard it all before, and hearing it once again as declamation does nothing to strengthen the case for it. Nor does it really shock, as I'm sure the listeners have already heard it before and been shocked.
At this point it's trite, and repeating it as such weakens the case (if there is one remaining) of critical thought and discussion being taught in school, and moreover illustrates a position of spiritual poverty failing to associate anything meaningful to God-given life other than the supposed get out of hell free card of a particular peculiar faith.
The only sad thing is that the well-intentioned young woman didn't know any better, and was not taught any better. I guess that's not so sad after all, as perhaps in comparison to some others, her spiritual poverty is not the worst.
