God I love Illinois sometimes. Monique Davis, IL state legislator decided to take an interesting position during a committee hearing last week. You see, she told someone that their religious beliefs were dangerous. In fact, the belief was so bad, that it would be dangerous for children to even be aware of them. These beliefs destroyed everything the state was build on, and hindered the progression of the state. She continued with a long tirade about how this was the land of Lincoln, and people here believe in God. Then, she told him to get out of his seat and get out of the hearing.

Man. They must be BAD. Damn.

What was he saying? Oh, he was saying that he was an atheist, and believed that the topic of the hearing, a bill to give public funds to rebuild a church that burnt down, was unconstitutional, and violated the separation of church and state.

Now, I'm amazed really. Couple of points.

One, How fucking dare this bitch get up there and say that. How does this ignorant piece of shit honest stand up there and act as representative? Right there, as an agent of the government, she's doing her best to supress his first amendment rights. Not just once, but TWICE. He has the right to whatever fucking religious beliefs he wants. He also has the right to seek a redress of his grievances. I know, that damn pesky first amendment can be a real bitch.

Second, Can you imagine, even for a nanosecond, her saying the same thing to a Jew? Or Muslim? I'm willing to bet the answer is no. Because bigoted assholes like her don't have the nerve to say shit like that to them. She knows she would be removed from office the next day. But atheists? Nah. No one gives a fuck. Didn't even really make the news anywhere.

Third, how the fuck is an atheist view dangerous to children? I'm sorry, how do you get that? It's no more dangerous for your Christian child to be exposed to atheism than it is for my atheist child to be exposed to Muslim or Christian ideas. No, your claims that ideas are dangerous. That your way must be the only way. That no other viewpoints can be tolerated or discussed. Sound a lot more like Pol Pot, Stalin, and Muslim extremists. Honestly, look around at the company you keep.

Finally, you tried to throw him out? Fuck you bitch. You have no right to be a representative of anyone. Fucking die in a fire. Slow roast style.
