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.

You could go to jail for talking like that!

Thomas Jefferson also explicitly stated that Hinduism and Islam and other "foreign" faiths were protected religions under the 1st Amendment. So did Richard Henry Lee. So does the historical record of the North Carolina ratifying convention. And, last but not least, so did James Madison. Roy Moore disagrees. Do you?
