"The whining, wailing, and crys of persecution over something as foolish as a monument in a courthouse is not only childish and decidedly liberal in its tenor, it is a betrayal of our faith.

Your remarks regarding the events in Montgomery reflect little understanding of the magnitude of the real issue underlying the concern of many thoughtful Americans over the latest federal court decision. I suspect your attitude would be far less cavalier were you to understand them.

I understand the issues perfectly. My attitude is not cavalier. Neither is the attitude of the seven conservative Alabama justices who ruled against Judge Moore.

The presumption that only people of "true" faith understand the issues, and that the only appropriate response to this bit of theatrical nonsense is to collapse in mawkish and feigned agony and to loudly proclaim persecution, is precisely the problem. This display of juvenile behavior over a golden calf is embarrassing and demeaning to our faith and destructive to our efforts to draw others to our faith. I think we should seriously examine the motives here, and we should seriously question the methodology being employed.
