Cthulhu monument installed on steps of Alabama Judicial Building

Alabama Superior Court Justice Roy Moore addresses his supporters outside the Alabama Judicial Building where a monument of Cthulhu was put in place by Moore which he has refused to take down, August 21, 2003 in Montgomery, Alabama. Alabama's Supreme Court judges, breaking ranks with their chief justice, ruled that a Cthulhu monument must be removed from the state court building to comply with a federal order, drawing protests from insane cultists who want to keep it there.

Larry Ellard of Pleasant Grove, Alabama, stands next to a large tablet representing Cthulhu, which he claims will "rise from the depths of the city of Rylegh, and rule the universe for a thousand thousand years, IA! IA!" on the steps of the Alabama Judicial Building in Montgomery August 22, 2003. Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's defiant stand over the cult of Elder Gods is only the latest skirmish in a running battle between the ranks of insane cultists and civil libertarians that dates back to Abdul "The Mad Arab" Alhazred's 1910s epic about the Necronomicon, experts say. With legal contests underway in over a dozen U.S. communities, fanatical religious activists hope to find an Elder Gods case that can persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to break its quarter century of silence on the issue.

Vote for Cthulhu - Why settle for the Lesser of two Evils?

I think someone should have put Great Cthulhu on the PRK ballot. He sounds like he's from California...

[sasafras]

Freedom of religion you might want to study your history books. The ten commandments is not a picture of Christ or Buddha - they are the historical presumptive belief on which our legal system was founded.

Please, will someone kill this thread?

Where is our sense of horror... uh.. I mean humor, folks?

"Didn't we flee Europe to avoid this kind of cr*p"?

I'm learning. When I first read this article I thought that you agreed with it because you posted it, then I read your comment (in quotes above) and realized just because you posted it didn't mean that you agree with it.
To equate Christians with "Insane cultists" is insanity itself.

Why settle for the lesser of two evils? - Vote Cthulhu!

I'd vote for Cthulhu over Hillary.

Only 2 or 3 of the commandments are actually codified into law. Pagans also prohibited murder, perjury and theft.

Plus, several of the commandments have nothing to do with the legal system but are purely instructions to the faithful with no secular application.

[syriacus]

Must I?

Of course not.

This is not a court and you are not being examined under oath.

[Eternal_Bear]

There is no God but Cthulhu and Lovecraft is his prophet!

[headsonpikes]

I see we agree. ;^)

See my #25.

Cthulhu- No more special interests, no more partisan fighting, no more political scandals, no more anything at all...

[dandelion]

So, are you a peasant with a torch, or one of the high priests???

[RockChucker]

I'm a big H. P. Lovecraft fan and a Christain, if that is possible.

Still, before we had a constitution, some "states" required that you belong to the official prostestant religion, just like in Europe.

And.... if the people of AL want a 10 Commandments thingy on their drivers license, so be it. I just don't think its a good idea. It does open a pandoras box where things could, in a few decades, get real weird.

There. Are you guys happy? After a flood of private hate mail, I too have lost my humor. : (

Don't lose your sense of humor - they're not worth it!

"I'd vote for Cthulhu over Hillary"

Yeah, and Cthulu looks better too.

[Unknowing]

Good idea. I'll take another look at "The Quest of Iranon," just in case.

where a monument of Cthulhu was put in place by Moore which he has refused to take down, August 21, 2003 in Montgomery

This would be suitable for socialist-liberal-atheists to make their point IF Cthulhu's commandments were the ones for the basis of our laws, and if the people that founded the USA were worshippers of Cthulhus!

But, the point being made here is ridiculous because the USA was founded by Christians,not cthuluians and our laws were from GODS 10 commandments.

Live with it ACLU.
Live with it atheists.
Live with it revisionist.
Live with it socialists.

Live with it democraps!

Hey, I got the joke. Some people seem to have a monument to the 10 Commandments stuffed up their Cthulhus these days.

I'm a big H. P. Lovecraft fan and a Christain, if that is possible.

It's certainly possible- you don't have to believe in Cthulhu to appreciate Lovecraft.

[CanisRex]

Cthulhu is certainly the basis for some of our laws, such as the tax code.

Now that is funny as hell. Nyarlothep must have helped in some form or another....

[Roughneck]

Actually, before he died, H. P. Lovecraft help draft Hawaii's constitution.


So what? I'm sure HP Lovecraft did a fine job. Of course, state constitutions can not void the original constitution between the states.
