California Lawmaker Becomes Highest-Ranking Official To Say He's a Nonbeliever

Thankfully we live in a country where freedom of speech is alive and well! Although I don't agree that there is not a supreme being, it certainly is Mr. Stark's right to state this own personal opinion. I hope he won't be offended if people pray for him, though....because it is our right to believe in a Supreme Being who is so much smarter than all of us!
