This guy did. I've run into folks like him when I was stationed in the South.
The guy was either a plant by the media for a little sensationalism, or he was personally deficient, a man who had brought a sickness into his religion.
Or he was a product of the Crouchs' catechesis on TBN. Unitarian theology is close to God's Truth than those two are.
There is NO/ZERO/NADA Christian church that I've EVER heard of that teaches that a rock is God.
The "health and wealth Gospel" is almost as big a heresy as teaching that a rock is God.
Bottom line: Moore blew it bigtime on this one. He formulated his arguments in a fashion that guaranteed he'd lose. He's a judge, supposedly with excellent understanding of the Constitution and the case law, so I can't let him use the "I'm an ignorant dimwit" excuse. He turned down expert help from all quarters that would have gotten him the win, including the state AG. Ergo, his goal was to lose.
The question is...
Why would he want to lose?
The answer can be found by answering this question:
What has he actually done here?
He has generated a huge spectacle starring...himself.
It's pure political theater, on a par with Huey Long's.
