You can't compare Roy Moore's acts as a government official establishing his sect of Christianity as the "official" religion of Alabama in defiance of court orders to the civil disobedience of Rosa Parks or Ghandi in seeking political and economic rights for oppressed people.

And don't even try to pretend that a prohibition on government facility support for faith is repression.

Why not? I happen to believe that those that are trying to remove any form of religion from the public eye (those rabid enough to do what the ACLU is doing now aren't likely to stop anytime soon) will eventually move on from government sites to public sites and try to destroy religion in its entirety. I believe thay are perverting the intent of the Constitution and activist Judges and floks who are willing to stand back and watch are aiding and abetting an insidious enemy of the Nation.

Please be specific - why not? All three have undertaken civil disobedience in protest of a perceived wrong.

The Ten Commandments establishes the Christian religion? Are you in the same solar system as we are? Have you asked a rabbi where and when the Ten Commandments came from and about?
