Are you Catholic, Orthodox or Jewish or Atheist?

One of those is often a characteristic amongst FReepers who oppose Moore.

If so does that guide your analysis or is your opinion derived purely from objective reasoning of your knowledge of the founder's written words or known opinions.

None of the above, though my wife is Catholic.

I'm Orthodox, which is one of the reasons I don't like Moore shoving his particular brand of snake-handling Protestantism into what should be a secular government building. Note that the 10 commandments that are posted are the Protestant version of the commandments. The translation is slightly different from the Jewish, Catholic and Orthodox versions. Do I get to put the Orthodox version of the commandments in the rotunda, or is it reserved for Protestant commandments only?

This is just part of the can of worms that Moore has opened up with his little stunt. This whole thing is a distraction from what a courthouse should be- a secular, neutral, evenhanded location for the application of the law.
