Article Link: It’s Dangerous for Children To Know Atheism Exists, Says Illinois State Legislator-Friendly Atheist
Excerpt - Rep.Davis: It’s dangerous to the progression of this state. And it’s dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists!~Rep. Davis to Atheist Rob Sherman
Terry sent me the above link today and I thought it was an interesting article. Reading through it and listening to the audio, I have to admit that the shocking part to me was not that Rep. Davis became irate but that the shear number of people applauding her and the seemingly mass group energy of anger towards Rob Sherman was the most disturbing part.
I fully understand that there are many people in our country that still believe that American was founded as a Christian nation, which it was not and I understand the pervasive attitudes towards any one who is not of the Christian faith or even those who do not have a faith bubbling up to the surface and overriding the First Amendment. Those things I understand, sometimes I wish that I didn’t understand… but I do.
