[Chancellor Palpatine]

Stephen Hopkins, pastor of Burnet Bible Church in Burnet, Texas, was one of those arrested. He said he was willing to be arrested even though he has 10 children.

"This is a great hypocrisy," Hopkins said. "This is an assault on God. They're saying we're going to cover up God."

Idolatry in action.

[R. Scott]

First, I firmly believe the monument should stay where it is. We need reminders that there are some standards of conduct that we should be expected to observe. I don’t care if the reminders come from the Decalogue, the Koran, Vedas and the Upanishads or the Four Noble Truths.
What I don’t accept in these discussions is that our law is based on the Ten Commandments. Only four of the ten are incorporated in law, and those four express Universal Proscriptions.
For those who haven’t read it lately:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10.Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

That doesnt' sound like idolatry to you? Funny how all the Moore supporters want a statue of the ten commandments, but none want to follow it.

Thou shalt not make any graven images.....remember that one?

This nutcase from texas calls covering the statue covering up God?

or this article about your boy Roy's idol:

"The monument is such a hit with some Christians that many have arrived by the busload to view it, with some kneeling and pray before it like a holy shrine.
"

here's the complete link...

Neither God nor Christianity need showboating politicians, or gullible candle holders to protect them. This is about the ego of a politician, that quite frankly you out of staters know nothing about.

Let's see, the judge says "To do my duty, I must acknowledge God." So did God come to him and tell him the he must set up a 5,000 pound monument or he'll burn for not acknowledging God? Has he ever heard of quietly acknowledging God wihtout raising a public ruckus? I just don't understand.

In another story he also says, "If the rule of law means to do everything a judge tells you to do, we would still have slavery in this country." Gee, maybe the lawyer for the next felon up before Moore's court can use that argument to get his guy out of prison. Works for me.

Moore needs to be removed from the bench.

[N. Theknow]

They should go on the offensive. Declare that anyone who doesn't like the 10 Commandments is an "Anti-Semitic Bigot."

[StoneColdTaxHater]

Amen for Judge Moore! Where does this ACLU foolishness end? "In God We Trust", Gone? No Bibles anyhwere? What about all the Greek gods and goddesses featured in public buildings are they not "relgious' symbols? Outside the US supreme Court bldg is a statue of Moses and guess what he has in his hands.

This is the kind of circus the Left uses to convice people that all Christians are kooks, and that conservative politicians intend to establish a theocracy. I can see the Left using TV images of this event in upcoming commercials when they try and "Bork" conservative court appointees.

This is the conservative version of those crazy chanting Leftist protestors, and as always, the crazies only hurt their own movement.

For a large detailed picture go to: The Ten Commandments monument in Montgomery, Ala.

[c-b 1]

Do I detect some hypocracy here? These same Ten Commandments are etched in the walls of the U.S. Supreme Court Building, how is it that it is ok in the highest court building in the land, but not ok in Alabama?

Maybe one of the bash Judge Moore crowd could explain that.
