I watched the whole video. 

I watched the whole video.  Up untill nearly halfway through I was giggling.  After that point I started to be concerned for the girl.  She appeared to be getting very nervous all of the sudden and her shaking and stuttering silenced my giggles.  Then I realized that she might be having one of those religious experiences, rather than a seizure.  I no longer felt very concerned for her and my giggles returned, but I could not help feeling, well, disturbed.  I'm surprised that someone in the crowd didn't yell out the absurdity of what was being witnessed.  On my face as I write this is the lingering look of extreme distaste.

"our generation, both young and old."

 

She's a complete idiot, but that was clearly a seizure. Don't worry, I think people with disabilities are hilarious too. Would anyone like a link to the video of the paraplegic trying to negotiate an escalator?

actually i only found it hilarious until she begins convulsing, possibly a clonic or  myoclonic seizure, and then it becomes disturbing, hence the description. but if disabilities tickle your funny bone i'm sure there's some videos out there to suit your tastes.

Hey... Jesus made disabled people, and he gave us the ability to laugh. What's the problem?

 

You notice how when this girl freaks out and starts crying, nobody really seems upset? I bet this girl's reputation is well known. I think she's just nuts and needs a lot of attention and it's not a disability thing, beyond the obvious mental issue.

That's a more acceptable explanation. I was thrown by the ordering of the terms "disturbing" and "hilarious." I didn't think any part of it was funny, personally.

Thank you for your diagnosis, doctor.

I don't think you've been paying attention. Theism is considered a mental illness around here. Clearly all her problems are directly related to faith.

Her poor speaking and writing skills might qualify as exceptions, however.

As the result of a stroke,

As the result of a stroke, I suffer grand mal seizures.  The episode looks very much like a seizure.  She does look like she vomits, which is also common during an episode. 

I am certain that it looks hilarious from the outside.  Allow me to tell you that from the inside it is a terrifying experience.  Imagine that you begin to feel like you are drowning and go blind simultaneous.  Now, the flavor of pennies floods your mouth as you've bitten through your own tongue.  You get to black out then.  When you come to, you have likely vomited and lost control of other bodily functions.  All of your muscles ache because they all have contracted as hard as they can.  In fact, you may have fractured a bone from the intensity of the contractions.  So, you are done with the physical issues; now, you get to feel the incredible embarassment associated with looking like that in public.  People do laugh.  So, enjoy the chuckle, assbags.

I thought she was doing a pentecostal, Jesus Camp-type thing. Now I feel bad.

Not directed at the OP.  Look at some of the other reactions.  I read them all before I said anything.

Jesus Freak !!!!

OH SHIT

What can one say. Another victim of the "Jesus Camp" and Pastor Bekky. "Get an ambulance" says an official. Yes and that ambulance should take her to the funny farm.

This is why we must fight against Christianity to save these kids from a fate like that.

Wake up America.
