ILLINOIS ATHEISTS

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)

In a recent statement, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of the Catholic Diocese of Springfield in Illinois claimed that voting for a Democratic candidate would put the salvation of one's soul in jeopardy. http://www.change.org/petitions/irs-commissioner-douglas-shulman-re...

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.

Hello Friends,

I've been away from AN for a bit, so its been a while since some of us have talked. I hope all is well. I wanted to tell you all about my new article on the Black Skeptics Blogspot, its called "Humanity's Child". If you get a chance, I hope you'll read it and post a comment on the page. If you like it, or simply find it interesting, I hope you'll forward it to your friends and/or groups across the net. You can find a link to the article below. Thanks in guys!

Best,
Shawn


PS- For those of you who are interested, you can also find my previous article entitled "What If" by searching that title on the Black Skeptics Group at Blogspot or RichardDawkins.net
