Hey, all! I wanted to post this for Blasphemy Friday, but I didn't want to push Seth's awesome Christmas Morning post down the page, so it's Blasphemy Saturday, I guess!
This week I have this link to share with you. It's about a very interesting story in Springfield, Illinois. In the Capitol building in Illinois, the Freedom From Religion Foundation erected a sign that read as follows:
"At the time of the winter solstice, let reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is just myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."
It was put up in response to a Christmas tree and a nativity scene that are also present in the Capitol. I congratulate the Illinois government on giving equal status to all religious viewpoints in their Capitol building.
Oh, and I laughed a little when I read the last line of the story: "For the second year in a row, the Capitol also has an aluminum Festivus pole commemorating the fictional holiday created in "Seinfeld.""
