One more time, for those who hate the inconvenient facts:

Pearls of wisdom from Judge Roy Moore:

"By leaving religion undefined, the Court has opened the door to the erroneous assumption that, under the Establishment Clause, religion could include Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and whatever might occupy in man's life a place parallel to that filled by God ... In such a case, God and religion are no longer distinguished in meaning, permitting the First Amendment to be used to exclude the very object it was meant to protect, namely the sovereignty of God over civil government."

"Americans are free to worship other Gods only because the Judeo-Christian God, and the Judeo- Christian God alone, allows for freedom of conscience."

“You'll find no documents surrounding the Ten Commandments because they stand alone as an acknowledgment of that God that's contained in our pledge, contained in our motto, and contained in our oath.”

"I have no intention of removing the monument. To do so would, in effect, result in the disestablishment of our system of justice in this state.

One very pertinant religion that Moore left out was Satanism. When that religion is mentioned, it certainly gives his words more meaning in my opinion. While I wouldn't have made the case Moore has here, I'm not in total disagreement with it.

These are not inconvenient statements from Judge Moore. I like them and agree with them. A careful study of our founding documents and actions of this country's founding fathers will reveal that this nation was indeed founded as a Christian nation with the Judeo-Christian God as its head. One small example: Thomas Jefferson was in charge of the newly formed public school system while he was president. He mandated that the Bible and a Christian hymnal be included in every classroom. Also back then just about every major public building in Washington D.C. doubled as a church building on Sunday, including the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court.

I was confused like you yesterday. Judge Moore did make mistakes. Everyone does. The big problem is that any sucker with dirty pockets like ACLU can use the courts to erase any sign of Christianity in our expanding government. At some point there will be no space left for anything Christian. I was nitpicking at the Judge too until good people pointed out to me the problem. I'm also wary of how PC many of us have become without knowing.

Thank you for posting the Moore's opinions about his stunt
