This country was not founded on muslim principles,if people want muslim faith they should go to a muslim country This country's laws aren't frozen in the 1780's, either. We have people living in this country who are not Christians. Are you saying the Constitution doesn't protect their rights? If you are, you'll find that hundreds of court cases as well as scores of laws disagree with you.
You can't have it both ways- either everyone is allowed to put their religious symbols in secular, government buildings, or no one is.

The most ignored amendment.

I'd rather have the Moore etreme over the Piss Christ extreme any day of the week. Respectful FReegards.... You know, on America's alleged premier Conservative net forum, it's a damned shame that you even have to qualify your view with the above statement. That would never have been required even 20 years ago.

That is worth repeating:
"The thing that fascinates me is that recent history has demonstrated that we can hardly entrust the government with anything. Nevertheless, many people on here are more than willing to believe that if we let government establish religion, everything will undoubtedly turn out just fine."

Feds have no rights telling the states what to do, especially if it is against the public's will.Unless of course, the state (or its officers) is violating the federal constitution, regardless whether the state is acting with public support.

She must've done something. Moore didn't say anything bad about this woman as a mother EXCEPT that she was defying the laws of God and would be condemned for it.I had two custody battles over my child. One at 18 months and one at 9 years. Never once did any judge say anything bad about either of us.
When my son was about 9, I had had it with his acting out and wanted to give him a spanking he wouldn't forget. I grabbed a hair brush, got one wack in before he ran to the second story window and jumped out fracturing his foot.
At the time my ex-wife was remarried to state trooper and a mother of another child.
I retained custody and never once did I need to bring up her sexual habits.

To: Consort
Are the Ten Commandments as generic as "In God We Trust" or are they specific to a particular religion? The Lord thy God it mentions says you can have no other gods before Him. Sounds like He's quite adamant that He's the deity and all others are imitations.
To: SedVictaCatoni
Nevertheless, many people on here are more than willing to believe that if we let government establish religion, everything will undoubtedly turn out just fine.Your just as ignorant of history also. Have you read any state constitutions of the original 13 ? Hint: It turned out just fine.

"No government ever did anything which truly advanced the cause of encouraging or promoting faith, and government's efforts in this regard have invariably had the effect of sullying the faith it allegedly seeks to aid."--lugsoul
Can you prove that? -- wardaddy
This is my take. Religious monopolies, since they are currently and historically run by mortal beings, always become corrupt. But when there is competition of faiths, such as in the US, then people are more religious and than in other countries, as a recent survey discovered. It can appear that encouraging faith sullies it, because it is rare to encourage faith generically, the way our founding fathers did, and the way Judge Roy Moore is doing, following their footsteps. If it's illegal to follow the footsteps of our founding fathers, then our legal system is out of whack.
To: beelzepug
Impeachment is too good for most of the judges -- a firing squad is what comes to my mind.I think you're "wanted" in Afghanastan.
To: Labyrinthos
shows the tablets symbolically as part of an artistic exhibit of the history of our legal system. Exactly Judge Moore's point. Thank you

The only difference between Moore and Mullah Omar is that the former is a Christian standing up for his beliefs against a tidal wave of anti-pluralists like you and on the other hand a Moon Rock worshipping murderous enslaver of women and killer of innocents.
The fact that you find anything relative between the two other than that they probably both piss standing up and the latter is hopefully not long for this planet is disgusting.

they don't have the right to defend the constitution...they have the DUTY to defend the constitution!!!!!!! tell me the last time anyone in the federal goobermint did actually let his/her nuts drops and actually did defend the constitution.
To: Arthur Wildfire! March
That's cute. For all of the musings of Founders and statements of their religious actions that are posted on FR, you will not find a single instance of Founders claiming that religious displays in courthouses are necessary, or even desirable. Not one. Nor will you find a single instance of a Ten Commandments display in a courthouse.
Equating Moore with the Founders is an insult to their memory.

LOL. Moore is establishing a religion? What's it called?
To: libravoter
Maybe I misunderstood, but I believe the fine was (will be) against the State of Alabama, not Judge Moore. I had an interesting thought. If the Federal Courts do fine the State of Alabama $5000 a day, why could a sympathetic US Congress (one which agrees with Moore) not just authorize a like amount in funding from the Federal Gov't to the State of Alabama in an Appropiations bill. Seems it would then make the whole issue mute as to fines. This seems so obvious that someone needs to tell me why it would not work....
To: Arthur Wildfire! March
It's called Protestant Christianity.
