OK: it is permitted to have a gay homosexual sodomite bishop leading in the Episcopal Church, and to conduct homosexual marriages between sexual deviants, but it is not permitted to have the ten commandments symbolically on display in the supreme court building of a state.

My tiny little mind is having trouble comprehending all this stuff.

The level of political and social (and religious) discourse in this country has hit rock bottom.

History teaches us that such decadence presages the downfall of civilizations.

Sorry to hear that. I'll use small words: The Episcopal Church is a private organization. It is free to set its own rules as to who can and cannot be a Bishop and who can and cannot be married in the church. The 1st Amendment does not apply. Judge Moore is a government offical. The 1st Amendment does apply to his actions on the job. He is not free to promote the establishment of a certain religion while acting in his official capacity. Some people on this board are saying that the 1st Amendment does not apply to the States. 100 years of legal decisions disagree with them.
