All non-Christians have no self control, moral base, internal law, or ideals.

uhh, the early Greek philosophers were all over that ordered universe stuff, and they were pre-Christian.

First of all, the Greek philosophers did not make the major break-through scientific discoveries, they did express their ideas about the nature of existence (a hodgepodge of different views) and morality (never understood that a personal Creator-God is the source), but they fell far short. Aristotle's views of the world and the universe were just a little weird to say the least.

I am 6'2", 210 pounds, graduated summa cum laude. Does that sound like I am a moron with a beer gut?

No, it makes it sound like you were a football star at an SEC or Southwest Conference school whose coach bribed your instructors.

it is about "State's Rights," it is not the Federal Government's business how the State of Alabama decorates it's buildings.

So those "Whites Only" signs they used to have up were OK by you?

How did the Ten Commandments become someone's personal religious beliefs? If I may be so bold as to ask?

When will fundamentalist Christians wake up to the extent to which they are being manipulated and used?

Probably never. And they are a very profitable demographic for political and religious hucksters.

I have GOT to come up with a gimmick to sell these folks.

My statements were clearly aimed at the reinterpretation of the 1st amendment by bad judges. How much more clear could I make it?

I just wanted to clarify that both Scalia and Rehnquist consider "an obtrusive year-round religious display" a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, even though there is no "Congress" or "law" involved in such displays.

Then, they would be wrong too. The wording is plain. Only Congress can establish a religion (or legislature). A judge can't and neither can the Boy Scouts or a Christian that wants to make religious expression in his valdictory speech without being threatened with 6 months in jail!! Tyranny is what that is and these judges must be defied by the masses. When 20-30 million people start devying the horrible rulings of SCOTUS, they will be powerless to do anything about it, except shut up.

Wait a minute--Coral Ridge Ministries, a fundamentalist group, paid for that monument and got it installed in a state courthouse? I had not heard that before. Are you serious?

[Modernman]

They based laws on orthodox christianity

Umm... I'm an Orthodox Christian. Trust me, the US system is not based on Orthodox Christianity. You may have a proddie definition of Orthodoxy, though.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Coral Ridge Ministries, that which is affiliated with glorious TBN of Paul and Jan Crouch fame has long been the funding path from which all good things lowed for Roy Moore.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

lowed=flowed

Spoken like a true elitist liberal secular humanist. Words from people like you roll of my shoulders like water off a duck's back. I am as good at ad hominem as you - probably better, but I have bigger fish to fry than to exchange insults with a self-exalted elitist. Get lost.

Forget "anointed prayer cloths";* they've been done to death already

I am a Southerner. And I served in the military, too.

When are you going to start acting like one?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

My great grandmother used to get those from Reverend Ike.

[lugsoul]

As a heart attack. They also filmed the installation, and sold videotapes of it to raise money for Judge Roy's legal fees.

On the other hand, America's founders said that the people, not one man, were the final arbiters of divine law and natural law.

sounds like a humanist position to me.
