God bless Mr. Kelly and may the people of Illinois remember this on election day.
HE should have burned it and claimed freedom of expression.
I have an answer to their stupid sign.
“Let people believe as they wish.”
Let that “brave” atheist post that sign within site of a Illinois Mosque and the hate crimes gestapo would have been all over him, if he lived long enough.
How about a sign that says “The natural world is only that which can be measured. How much does love weigh? How tall is humor?”
Alternatively, I’d put up a poster quoting Romans 1:18-23., with verse 22 in bold.
You can’t be free to choose God if you aren’t at first free.
Right. Cause their aren’t any atheists with hardened hearts and enslaved minds.
What gives them the right to post their religious views in a public building while banning Christian displays? Nothing.
Allowing a display endorsing atheism while disallowing other beliefs is exactly what the Constitution prohibits.
Communism was athiestic, and enslaved more minds than any force in history. Churches are by far the largest charities in the world, helping those less fortunate again and again. Jesus Christ has not hardened their hearts.
Nah, you get a fraud in a black robe to steal it for you.
Tiny man.
An expression of faith, not fact.
Defacto state supported religion. The man has a great basis for a 1983 civil rights action. This should be come a class action against the State of Illinois for unlawful restraint in support of a specific religion.
This is actually the second year the sign has been placed at the Capitol. The people who were responsibile for the sign aren’t even from Illinois.
“There is only our natural world.”
The natural world is a very cruel and hard place.
What an exclusionary sign! It must have come from one of those narrow-minded religious groups.
He would be well within his right to remove a sign if it were displayed on his own property, but it wasn’t. Either all religions are allowed to place religious displays on tax-payer-owned property, or none are. No religion can be given special permission.
Or do you think Christians are exempt from respecting other people’s rights?
Hateful anti-religions signs are OK and are protected by the government, but angels are immediately removed from Christmas trees, so as “not to offend”.
What’s wrong with this picture?
California Official Orders Removal of Christmas Angel After Complaint
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2413797/posts
“There’s no place for angels atop Christmas trees, according to one California man who successfully lobbied for the removal of religious symbols at county buildings after spotting a yuletide decoration last week.
Stars and other religious emblems were ordered removed from Christmas trees in all government buildings in Sonoma County on Monday following a complaint by Irv Sutley, a disabled 65-year-old Marine veteran who said the symbols were “extremely offensive” and part of the “cult” of Christianity.
Sutley said he filed the complaint with acting County Administrator Chris Thomas on Dec. 18 after noticing an angel atop a six-foot tree in the lobby of the county recorder’s office. Sutley, a lifelong atheist and chairman of the county’s Peace and Freedom Party, said he visited the office last week for his re-election bid next June.”
So the Atheist establishment of Atheist Theocratic rule is ok with the ACLU?
I’ve listened to FFR radio show on Air Amerika. They sound giddy when they do something like this. Think they do it just to *iss people off.
I want to ask them one day, how does it hurt you? You don’t believe, that’s OK, why do you have be jerks about it?
This should make Tiger happy — a lawbreaker. And I LIKE IT!
We might have a conservative leader here!
