    Atheism destroys Illinois, says judge.

    Friendly Atheist » It’s Dangerous for Children To Know Atheism Exists, Says Illinois State Legislator

    here's the exchange.

    Davis: I don’t know what you have against God, but some of us don’t have much against him. We look forward to him and his blessings. And it’s really a tragedy — it’s tragic — when a person who is engaged in anything related to God, they want to fight. They want to fight prayer in school.

    I don’t see you (Sherman) fighting guns in school. You know?

    I’m trying to understand the philosophy that you want to spread in the state of Illinois. This is the Land of Lincoln. This is the Land of Lincoln where people believe in God, where people believe in protecting their children.… What you have to spew and spread is extremely dangerous, it’s dangerous–

    Sherman: What’s dangerous, ma’am?

    Davis: It’s dangerous to the progression of this state. And it’s dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists! Now you will go to court to fight kids to have the opportunity to be quiet for a minute. But damn if you’ll go to [court] to fight for them to keep guns out of their hands. I am fed up! Get out of that seat!

    Sherman: Thank you for sharing your perspective with me, and I’m sure that if this matter does go to court—

    Davis: You have no right to be here! We believe in something. You believe in destroying! You believe in destroying what this state was built upon.

    In the United states, how on Earth could this Davis person become a judge? Seems wholly unqualified.

    Wow Davis believes the state of Illinois was built upon narrow minded ignorance and intolerance. (how rude)Sound like she just dropped a lincoln log in the land of Lincoln.

    The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

    Ah, good old Chicago fundamentalists.

    It is just so hard for me to get worked up by these anymore. I just sigh and move on with my day, because these kinds of people are rarely removed from power.

    Does someone have to be religious in order to become a judge in the United States?

    Proof the world is stuck on two-dimensional thinking? Look at cars. They use wheels instead of spheres.

    It helps to be a --really good-- Pretender of being "religious", to become anything in the US.

    Gawd!

    I wish "The Rapture" would hurry up and happen already, and beam all these Freaks up! I bet this Davis "Person" is a Babtist. Sounds like it anyways.....
