Yea, I can't tell you what a help it would be to be reminded "Thou Shalt Not Kill" throughout the day. I'm sure I would really cut down on my murdering.

How many who support the judge would do so if he put the 5 pillars (is that right) of Islam on a stone tablet in his court.Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

The monument is not in his court. That battle was fought a few years back and since that time he has gained a lot of support and become more powerful.Originally posted by TheStinger

I'm just guessing but there are enough 'moderate' baptists here in Alabama to say that there would be some support (more like an absence of opposition) for the idea.
You've got to understand that there are 'dry' counties here (no alcohol). The people in those counties are likely gonna chain themselves to the thing as soon as they think of it (kinda like the tree huggers ). I cant see them supporting a monument based on another religion.
On the other hand the state is split roughly 50-50 on whether to allow a lottery/gambling so there are some pragmatists sailing on the baptist sea.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

"respecting an establishment of religion" = with respect to..... i.e. "about"Originally posted by Ramo
I never said the stone established religion. It did respect an establishment of religion, however. Which is prohibited from the establishment clause of the First Amendment.
Yes it is. Congress shall make no law repecting an establishment of religion.
The first Amendment doesn't specifically refer to restricting Congress from establishing a religion, but from respecting an establishment of religion (and the former falls under the latter).
The language doesnt make sense in the way you are interpreting it.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

I get the impression that some people aren't aware of what the Ten Commandments actually say, or the background behind them.
Judge Moore has put up a monument in a court of law (OK, just outside one), which states that the highest law is that worship of his god is mandatory. This is a direct violation of the Constitution.
He is, furthermore, endorsing genocide. In the Bible, that was the first thing Moses did when he came down from the mountain: he ordered the massacre of those who chose to worship the "wrong god".
It's equivalent to putting up a statue of a naked black guy in chains and a white guy standing over him with a whip, with the motto "Negroes Are Our Slaves". This would be at least as "historically appropriate" to Alabama as the Ten Commandments. And, again, it would be an endorsement of a "law" which does not exist in modern Alabama, and a violation of the Constitution.Comment

Let us not forget that the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish religions all have their own version of the 10 Commandments.
Which Ten Commandments?
I notice Judge Moore chose the Protestant version of the 10 Commandments as the version Alabamans should believe in.

The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

The word "bigot" got used way too many times in this thread.
The monument, while I'll bet it looks cool, must go.
