But, if Ralph Reed is elected, he promised in the debate to not allow any stem cell research in Georgia, [...]
Time Magazine has a book review of , The Language of God by Francis Collins. The reviewer notes how Collins maps his arguments for a middle ground between atheists and neo-christian conservatives on the issue of evolution.

The effort to ban same-sex marriages, [...]
Ms. Sadie Fields is expressing her unrighteous indignation over a Judge's ruling that the amendment to the Georgia Constitution (adopted with more than 76% approval in 2004) was improperly framed.

From the AJC article today on the passage of the Bible Bill (BTW — AJC should tell you the bill number so you can read it yourself… it is SB 79)
"We cannot live in fear of possible lawsuits every time we pass a piece of legislation." Senate Majority Leader Tommy Williams
That phrase has been repeated [...]
