So the Buddist, or any other non-christian denomination do not have the right to practice their religion without discrimination?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

While the Constitution Party expresses faith in God, by supporting the First Amendment, the Constitution party fully supports this prohibition of federal legislation to discriminate against any faith (or lack thereof).

This is one reason why many in the Constitution Party object to faith-based spending. As a Christian voter, I do not want the U.S. government to force you to pay for the promotion of my faith, and I certainly would not you to to force me to pay into government spending on any atheistic indoctrination!

>The First Amendment protects not only the freedom of religion but the freedom to practice it,(Judge Moor).<

"Before any man can be considered a member of civil society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe." (Madison)<

I think these two quotes get at the crux -- the heart -- of the matter.

My views on G-D and religion (the uniting with G-D) are catholic -- universal -- in the true sense of the word. I believe G-D “the Governor of the Universe” is capable of handling all His children -- even atheist -- without my assistance.

Reading the above: I fully support Judge Moor’s contention that the First Amendment also protects the freedom to practice "it"(religion).In Judge Moor’s case “it” means Christianity: according to Moore.

I would support -- even prefer -- a judge with high moral convictions -- of any religion -- who considers himself accountable to a higher power

However, I do not grant any man (nor does the constitution) the license to impose his religion (system of uniting with G-D) on me.

I, personally, am not offended by the Ten Commandments as a legal document, if you will, they form a historic link to our most important laws.

This is where things get a little “dicey.”

The ten commandments also have strong religious (“Judeo-Christian” overtones) They speak to the idea that these laws have a foundation in a higher power (G-D) than man.
.

I personally believe the above to be so (so does Judge Moor); but I would not dream of using my authority -- as a Judge -- to proselytize from the bench.

The job -- the duty -- of a judge is to use his G-D given wisdom and intelligence to interpret the law.

The job of a preacher is to bring us closer to G-D

If Judge Moore understands the dictum: “ Give unto Caesar, that which is Caesars; and give unto G-D, that which is G-Ds” -- than I have no problem with Judge Moore.

The only thing intolerant about the Christian religion is the intolerance shown to Christians,
