The judge was.
Just brimming over with Christian love, forgiveness, and compassion aren't you?
I can see you're more of an "Old Testament"-style Christian.
You should have been born in the Middle Ages, you would have been much happier there.
Well, friend, I hope you are right, but I fear that many who call themselves Christians place too much value on their comfort level to ever speak out. They have been dumbed down, distracted by sex and violence, and become self-obsesssed with their own comforts. We'll see how many Christians have courage of their convictions. Juxtapose that with the statement from the Declaration of Independence: "We pledge our fortunes, our lives and our sacred honor..."
Here is what Roy Moore said recently in an interview:
"A lot of people are just like they said they would be in the Book of Revelation. "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked."
"In the church today, they don't recognize the sovereignty of God. They want to surround the Ten Commandments with secular documents to secularize it and admit that there is no God higher than government. Indeed, they are violating the very precepts that Jesus Christ stood upon. When Pilate asked Jesus, "Don't you know I could have you crucified, or I could release you?" Jesus said, "You would have no authority but that it were given by God."
"They fail to recognize the 13th chapter of Romans, that all power is of God. And when people in the church fail to recognize God because government says they can't, and try to conform their actions to fit that scenario, and deny God, they're denying the Son. And Jesus said, "If you deny Me before men, I'll deny you before my Father." And that's exactly what's going on today. When you deny the Father, you deny the Son. You can't confess the Son if you deny the Father who gave Him to us. "
JUDGE ROY MOORE in interview with WorldNetDaily
Me...I'm a little burned out....
Is that why all the younger voters in the 1980s (raised by hippies and former hippies) voted for Republicans?It's a matter of historical record that younger voters during the 1960s were overwhelmingly left-liberal, and their children, the younger voters of the later 1980s, supported Reagan by at least a 2-1 margin.Link please. Very few were hippies, and even those only during their youth. Many grew to be normal members of society. Today, the liberals are @30% of the population max., and that's only because of the indoctrination success of removing the children from their homes and placing them in the "village."
Just like today, the extremes get the press coverage, the rest are living their lives as normal citizens.

Do you have his e-mail? How about Pryor's?
Regardless of his own ambitions - I believe God has great plans for his future...
Nevertheless, even conservative Supreme Court Justices, such as Rehnquist and Scalia, are on the record as claming that the First Amendment prevents the states from displaying certain religious symbols all year around.
How do you propose to correct this consensus view among liberals and conservatives judges?
Yes. I do not stand in their way of their God givin free will to chose between good or evil. If they ask for food, I'd feed them and teach them to grow their own food. If they chose not to change their ways, I'll just move on. I've done what is expected of me.
If they choose to fall, who am I to stand in their way? All I can do is watch.
What else would you demand of me?
Most impressive...the sermon of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God...
...well known sermon and most effective to its listeners.
Bless you, if you have that fire in your belly to stay here & make a difference, more power to you!!!
Link? Not all college kids voted. They were noisey, though.
The fundamentalist version of the history of Christianity is a completely self-congratulatory mythology that has few points of contact with historical fact.
Typical revisionist painting history with a broad stereotypical brush... FACT: Stonewall Jackson taught Sunday School to slave children. FACT: It was NOT christians who introduced slavery. The Christians were in the North at that time - Pilgrims and puritans - no slaves there! They were introduced in the South. Read the Northwest Odinance of 1789 - it's an official govt. decree and a Christian document - forbidding slavery.
You are right in one sense. There were some Christians who believed that slavery was God's will - it was a blind spot for some of them in the South, but since you didn't live in 1860, and since your views of the past or are affected by your recent liberalized public education which attempts to denigrate all the founding fathers, I would re-educate myself on this topic if I were you to get a better truer perspective. Try reading the recent biography of Stonewall Jackson by Robertson - you will find it quite revealing.
He was removed for his refusal to honor the law, something that legislators and executives will sometimes be rewarded for, but judges will not.
I could go into the choice of his text of the 10 commandments (his own), his request for an arena, and all his other foibles, but when it comes down to it, he was fired because he refuses to acknowledge the rule of law - and
If it takes the power of the federal government to make local wannabe theocrats respect the law, then so be it.The Constitution sets limits on the power of the state and local governments. You choose to call that limits on "representation", a statist view. Some of us on the other hand consider limitations on government to be, for the most part, good.I don't understand, how can the "individual" have power, when the collective "federal government" sets the limits on representation in the state government?? How is one represented when folks in D.C. dictate the representative’s beliefs??

So you want to flush the First Amendment?
I'd rather keep it, thank you very much.
