Note further that although I didn't object to the sheer volume of topics, I did include a statement that we would insist on strict compliance with the applicable time limitations.

I don't know why you posted this to me. I didn't say it.

I want the courts to enforce the establishment clause. Like Jefferson and Madison, I want complete separation of church and state. I don't want to see this country take a single step back to the Dark and Middle Ages, or to the Iran or Saudi Arabia of today.

And Roy's Rock is going to do that? It has established nothing but a monument to the source of Western secular law and Judge Moore's opinion. You just can't answer to that can you? You also failed to answer these questions:

What has the monument done to you? Have you or has anyone else been required by law to do anything whatsoever because of this monument?

Unless you have surrendered all of your intellect to your witch hunting ideology you will be able to give a reasoned answer to them.

Sorry about the first part, which you didn't say. It's a mistake on my part.

As for the rest, I did answer your questions by stating, as clearly as I know how, that I fully support the complete separation of church and state. "Complete" means 100%, absolutely, no exceptions, no compromises, no concessions, with extreme prejudice, etc. I don't want to take even a baby step back to the Dark Ages. I'm not hunting witches, but trying to avoid going back the time when an earlier generation of religious zealots used to burn heretics at the stake.

I guess I'll address these questions as well. The answer to the first question is: no, not by itself. However, it's a very small step in a very bad direction that I absolutely positively don't want us to go. I don't take just a little poison with my food, either, for the same reasons. Moreover, for the reasons stated in the original article, I deny that the Ten Commandments is a source of Western secular law.
