Sure - It will be a little while, cause I've gotta go hunt them down again and I'm in the middle of a couple of things. My favorites, BTW, are that other faiths like Hinduism and Buddhism are not "religion" for purposes of being protected by the 1st Amendment, and that people of other faiths only have the freedom to worship their God because Christianity allows them to do so.

In honor of this decision, some 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.
