Orlando Salinas broke in a few minutes ago and announced this on Fox News.

You beat me to it. By 5 minutes. I'm slipping.

..by refusing to obey the court order, he spits on the rule of law he swore to uphold.

Wow!!!

I guess we have nother vote for the dictatorship of the Supreme Court. This could get depressing.

In the 1930's and 1940's the Catholics in Roswell, NM used to throw rocks on top of the tin roof at my parents local church during services in an effort to disrupt and drive them away. :-)

Sorry to hear it. We didn't escape it entirely.

I got interested in the French wars of religion after I visited a place in France where 2,000 Protestants were hung. I recommend two books: The French Wars of Religion, 1562-1629 by Mack P. Holt and The French Wars of Religion, Selected Documents by David Potter.

This was an absolutely frightening period of history. Read about the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre sometime. You can probably find it on the web.

Fox News Poll: 95% of Alabamans agree with Judge Moore.

i couldn't find this poll on foxnews - i thought you could provide a link.

sinkspur, you don't get it!
Do you have to put a rock in a courthouse to worship God? Who says you can't worship God as you see fit, as long as you don't use the government to advocate the worship?

I'm struggling to determine the point you ARE trying to make.

Jesus broke the sabbath, for one. Because he healed the sick. He never denied that he broke the law, but continually questioned those that accused Him. The law was unjust. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"......

I guess we have nother vote for the dictatorship of the Supreme Court.

not fond of the seperation of powers, eh?

maybe you just don't like "seperation" period.

[Frapster]

If that's the worst of our wars of religion I'll take it in comparison to the examples you have mentioned.

Thanks for the reading recommendations - I'll give them a turn.

[Kevin Curry]

Don't show this to tpaine. It will cause him to clutch his wallet, fall to the floor, and writhe in unbearable pain, screaming "O save me from the clutches of this foul inquisitor!"

[Concentrate]

That is no lie. It isn't going away. Never. They push for sodomy. They push for Piss Christ with OUR TAX DOLLARS! They allow burglars to sue homeowners. We have had it with these clowns!

The most important thing is to get out there and protest in person! It'sthe squeaky wheel that gets the grease!

[floriduh voter]

It was one of those quick Fox News Dynamic Polls. I didn't get it from the internet. Sorry. I am certain it was 95% though.

[aristeides]

I'm Catholic. Protestants may have acted badly towards us in the past. But that's the past. Right now, Protestants are not the chief danger to us, or in fact any danger to us. Secularizers are the biggest threat both to us Catholics and to Protestants and, for that matter, to members of all religions. Luxuriating in past grievances is not only self-indulgent, but irresponsible, in the face of dangers like those posed by the secularizers.

Your post #504 as follows: Not according to the state - that pesky "freedom of religion" thing again. There are sects of Christianity whose parishioners handle poisonous snakes - if we allow the state to pick up the check for a statue of the Ten Commandments, we also have to let somebody inclined to do so to erect a monument to a timber rattler or copperhead as well.

Now who brought up snake handlers first Strela?

a simple "I (Strela)did" will suffice.

[Concentrate]

Catholic priests rarely "get it".

[WOSG]

It saddens me certainly to see people call themselves "conservatives" and then be so blind an ignorant to compare Christian Conservatives to Islamic Jihadist Taliban.

That's a totally phony, a-historical and blind opinion. From where I sit, the new American "Taliban" are if anything standing in and with the ACLU.

A buddhist shrine there, a Ten Commandment shrine here ... all in a day's work.

[Luis Gonzalez]

"The Ten Commandments will no longer pervert the minds of Alabama's youth."

Wow!

You mean that prior to Roy's Rock being placed in the rotunda, Alabamians didn't know about the Ten Commandments?

Are the guys in black helicopters forbidding any further showings of the Old Charles Heston classic at Passover...errr, Easter?

That graven image is the cornerstone of Christianity in Alabama?

[John Twenty 28]

Blindly obeying all court orders isn't the "separation of powers". It amounts to exactly the opposite, ceding all authority to the Supreme Court.

[WOSG]

You are indeed.

When Judge Bork raised the spectre of Judicial tyranny in his "The Tempting of America", the legalistic community poo-ppoed his "dangerously" "majoritarian" views, as if only Judges could be the guarantors of true liberty.

We now see what a pi**-poor job Judges really do. For 100 years, they failed to protect the rights of blacks that was written on the books, and once they fixed that they turned around and invented culturally demeaning interpretations to deny a host of others their legitimate rights, from the unborn to, today, a Supreme Court Justice.

Bork was right after all.
It may be time for a re-read of that classic - it was quite prophetic.

"In God We Trust"

But it does not say "In The God Of Abraham We Trust"...does it?

Brain dead?

Get thee to a mirror!
