LOL - nothing like the smell of hyperbole in the morning. Judge Moore can tattoo the Commandments on his forehead and hire a squadron of airplanes to display them all over the state if he likes - what he can't do is use his office to promote them. If Pat thinks that's horribly oppressive, then he really needs to get out and travel some, so that he can come to understand what real oppression really looks like.
1CO 2:10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. [11] For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. [12] We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. [13] This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.* [14] The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:
I really hate to say this, but once again, you're holding your opponents to far stricter standards than you're holding yourself. "Hyperbole" is conjuring up garish images of Ba'al statues in front of the state house and busts of grotesque demon spawns above the seats where judges sit and all kinds of other "horrible oppressions", all because Moore was allowed to display the 10 Commandments. As it is, Robertson's "hyperbole" is a lot closer to reality than yours.
