Robert Green Ingersoll, Illinois's Most Honored Freethinker:

"We have heard talk enough. We have listened to all the drowsy, idealess, vapid sermons that we wish to hear. We have read your Bible and the works of your best minds. We have heard your prayers, your solemn groans and your reverential amens. All these amount to less than nothing. We want one fact. We beg at the doors of your churches for just one little fact. We pass our hats along your pews and under your pulpits and implore you for just one fact. We know all about your mouldy wonders and your stale miracles. We want a this year's fact. We ask only one. Give us one fact for charity. Your miracles are too ancient. The witnesses have been dead for nearly two thousand years." -- Robert Green Ingersoll, "The Gods" (1872)

Comment by Atheist Insurgency on January 18, 2011 at 1:12am I am looking very very hard for a reason to stay in Illinois. Is there a reason? Can we change what has become the status quo? I'm sorry I'm asking a political question, but clearly the kind of thinking involved in Illinois politics is based in the thoughtlessness and lack of critical thinking responsible for our current circumstances.
