Rep. Monique Davis - Atheist-Hater

Keith Olbermann commentary, my commentary and some atheist bashing by Rep. Monique Davis for dessert.

To Jack Franks from Rob Sherman:

I request that the Committee or the House censure Rep. Davis for her abusive and irrational remarks towards me. She has embarrassed the Illinois House of Representative to the rest of the State and, quite literally, to the entire world by making the institution look like it's a bunch of religious fanatic right-wing wackos. News of her remarks are literally circulating around the world in newspapers and on numerous web sites, which I can provide you links to. Illinois does not need this kind of embarrassment. It could be bad for tourism.

I ask that the House or your Committee dis-associate yourselves from her remarks with a censor that says that her remarks were inappropriate, do not reflect the sentiments of the institution nor of the People of Illinois, and with an apology to me. Her remarks are more befitting a legislature in Iran, not one in America.

I've gone to bat for you on the million dollar Pilgrim Baptist fiasco. Is there anything that is doable regarding Davis' comments that you can initiate or sponsor? It's as if Rep. Davis spells "Illinois" with only four letters: I-R-A-N.

-Rob Sherman


It's a good thing Rep. Davis was bashing atheists and not another religion, otherwise she would be out of a job. We have some work to do before we can restore our religious freedom (i.e. seperation of church and state).

And I would hope that all people of all faiths would denounce this type of bigotry, because with representatives who think this way, it isn't long before we have a theocracy. By then, it will be too late to preserve our freedom of religion.

On 9 April '08 Rep. Davis privately apologized to Rob Sherman for her attack against him and atheism in general. See http://www.robsherman.com for a full account.

Thanks to Cruciefiction for posting the audio and the Olbermann video.

Haha, American that doesn't believe in freedom. The worse part is that she's black and she support oppression.

[demonbleh]

Does this person know that Lincoln was a deist, not a Christian?

Does she know Lincoln said "The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my profession"?

Guessing no.

I feel sorry for the atheists in the US. I have seen so much bigotry against them. I'm with you guys, fight the good fight!

Psalm 15 1 LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? 2 He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, AND SPEAKS THE TRUTH in his heart; 3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; 4 IN WHOS EYES A VILE PERSON IS DESPISED. But he honors those who fear the LORD; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change.

[mrtadreamer]

Actually, every right minded de decent human being should speak up against atheists and atheism straight to their God hating faces exactly as this righteous woman did. ACROSS THE BORDER INTO CANADA WITH ALL OF THEM!
