Atheists Can’t Get No Respect

Atheists Can’t Get No Respect

From the Chicago Tribune, quoting Illinois State Representative Monique Davis:

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 … I am fed up! Get out of that seat! ... 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.

Always a pleasure when the contempt American politicians have for the secular community bubbles to the surface.

    Don’t the most threatened lash out the hardest?

    So why does she feel that way, won’t Her God protect her?

    Fact is that us atheists have our heads screwed on just fine :)

    People still believe in god? Don’t they know it is 2008? Perhaps they should grow a brain. They scare me more than anything…
