If the display that is put up by the Freethinkers, and the one that is put up by the Society to Protect and Preserve the Nativity have to be removed, you will have no one but yourself and the Arkansas Legislative Council to blame. If you are that secure in your beliefs, of what are you so afraid? Maybe some people will wake up from the brainwashing of many years and step into the light? At any rate, you have no business stifling a groups freedom of speech just because you do not agree. We certainly have made no effort to stifle yours! you are going to keep pushing the issue Mr Cox until it ALL has to be removed!

I agree after watching you lie to the public for so many years, and meddle in so many lives. Do you really think that is the goal of freethinkers? you could not be any more wrong and ignorant! What is so different than freethinkers having their billboards and displays and Christians having theirs? Let's not forget that Christians have been harassing and forcing their beliefs upon people for many years now. Freethinkers have not forced anything on anyone. they are there, if you want the information, you go ask. no one is going from door to door to force their propaganda on folks as the Christians do. You should really mind your own business and leave other people's personal lives alone. You know, if you folks had just let the group put up the display, it probably would have gone unnoticed by many. Because you and the secretary of state's office causing a big who haw, there has been a large amount of folks going to see the display, and so many folks climbing out of the wood work joining the group! They are telling us they had no way of knowing we even existed until you cause a big uproar. Our membership has grown with folks who thought they were alone in their thinking until you gave us publicity. We have added more people to our group in this one week than we have all year! Thank you once again for getting our name out there and advertising for us. It is much appreciated. People like me are relieved when we find folks with common ground, with thinking like ours. It is good for them to finally step out into the light and lose the shackles that people like you hold on them with your brain washing. And thanks for joining our website, and giving out our locations of meetings. we have had a lot of folks stroll in to participate and tell us how great it is to finally be free to think for themselves. Thank you again for all you have done to further our cause to get people to think for themselves instead of following the herd.

There are more if you look. Searching for the truth has never been a christian strong point though. "The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." Joseph Lewis quoting Lincoln in a 1924 speech in New York "My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them." Lincoln in a letter to Judge J.S. Wakefield, after the death of Willie Lincoln John T. Stuart, Lincoln's first law partner: "He was an avowed and open infidel, and sometimes bordered on Atheism...He went further against Christian beliefs and doctrines and principles than any man I ever heard."

So far the scratch off tickets have been selling more than a million dollars worth a day and the Powerball starts up on Halloween. This should help tremendously on the scholarship fund and get a lot more students an invaluable education. Who would have ever thought a lottery could save the state...
