"This is the Land Of Lincoln where people believe in God."

No, Rep. Davis, not everyone in Illinois believes in God.  In fact, I find your comments --

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--
. . .
It’s dangerous to the progression of this state. And it’s dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists!

offensive -- quite offensive.

Dangerous to closed-minded people like Davis, maybe - but good for the rest of us.

woosh.. not a nice lady.. and this is coming from the ornery person who's stock answer to the statement I don't believe in God is.. sorry you don't believe in who?
hehhe
People forget that this isn't a Christian country it is a country that was based on freedom of religion.. they want us to go back under the wing of the church state that was England I suppose..yep that was fun times.

Perhaps it should be pointed out to this obnoxious soul that Lincoln was actually an atheist. So that whole "Land of Lincoln" thing? Whatevs.

Here's a quote, from the man himself:

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma."

- Abraham Lincoln, American president (1809-1865).

I grew up in Illinois, and I had a crush on Abe Lincoln. well, pictures of Lincoln...
At any rate... I believe in a higher power(s), but not god. I believe in letting people know everything and deciding for themselves what is good or appropriate. Where was Davis born, or where did HE grow up??
