I repeat: I don't care whether the Ten Commandments are in a courtroom or not. For all I care, a judge can put up a life-sized statue of Ma'at, the Egyptian God of Justice.
I do care that Moore sneaked his sculpture in during the middle of the night, then refused to obey a court order to remove it. If he was refusing to obey court orders himself, he had no business issuing them to other people for a living.
Since he was a Judge then maybe he felt what he did was right and the others were wrong.
Texas T said epending on who your God is...everybody's God is different.
I beleive in the true and only liveing God who is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mine's not different he's the same today as he was yesterday and before then.
O.K troy when the court orders you someday to turn your firearms over I expect you to load them up in your truck or car and give them to them with out a whimpper.
GM this is still the Bible belt, though it may be smaller than in years past.
Haveing ran a route for 26 years I assure everyone here, we still have Bibles in our schools and the 10 Commandments hanging on the walls of our schools.
And prayer before sporting events.
Our Court house's that I've seen still actknoldge God of the Bible too.
Interesting to me that Washington D.C has inscriptions of God of the Bible all over the federal buildings and No group or Judge has made the Federal goverment remove them !
So tell me the differents ? Why did this Judge have to remove his stuff when in Washington D.C. Has the same every where ?

You ANTICHRIST'S !!!
I doubt I'll ever face that problem to begin with, Mike; I'm not a felon and I don't beat my wife. But what do you think I'd do if a judge laid a court order on me to hand over my guns? Tell him to screw himself and go to prison after they confiscated them anyway? Or cough up the guns, then go hire a lawyer to try to get them back?
But I think you're missing my point. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the Ten Commandments being there; I'm saying it's wrong for a judge who enforces the law for a living to tell a higher court to go screw itself, regardless of what it's about.
The difference between him and the inscriptions in Washington D.C. is that he made his sculpture the focal point of the entire building; he sneaked it in during the dark of night and basically dared anyone to do anything about it; and then he refused a lawful court order.
I ask you again: how can a man issue court orders to other people for a living and expect to keep his job, when he's busy disobeying a court order himself?
So if the court orders us all to give up our guns we should do it? I believe in the constitution and our legal system but they have went astray in the past few decades because many have forgotten that they are both based on the bible and jewish and christian law and values.

troy2000 I agree with you, if it's a law and he broke it then so be it.
On the other hand, being who I am and who I beleive in I am proud that he stood up for his convictions. We need more like him in all realms of goverment I feel.
And the town was behind him.
Mike

There are some things we are not meant to know, for our own good, Mike...

You're carrying the idea to an illogical extreme. It has little or nothing to do with whether Roy Moore should've defied the court order he was given. It's like asking, "so if the courts told us to go out and murder our neighbors we should do it?"
And by the way, our laws are not "based" on the Bible, or on Chriustian and Jewish law. We are not a theocracy. I could give you a pretty good exposition on the roots of American law, but I don't see any point in it; I doubt it would change your mind about anything.

I don't mind that people stand up for their convictions. The thing we must remember is that this is America and it is very diverse our convictions are not the same. How would you feel if an extremist of *insert religion here* were to sneak in their holy texts for all to view? You probably wouldn't like it so much. I wouldn't have minded the Ten Commandments, I think they are very good rules to live by.
Another point to make is that I don't like people in power doing things in the name of religion. I am a Christian but at the same time I don't want the actions of someone who says their a Christian to represent me. Not every "Christian" is righteous. I can speak for myself. I don't have to make a spectacle.

Well the Constitution says seperation of curch and state. If you say that this doesnt apply to this situation it is the same as the gun grabbers saying "the right to bear arms" doesnt apply to law abiding american citisens.

Uh-oh. Now you've gone and done it, shrub.
Brace yourself for a flood of posts passionately informing you that the words 'separation of church and state' are nowhere to be found in the Consitution...and most will also say that neither is the principle, although I disagree.

I have a copy of the Constitution in front of me. Please tell me where it says that?
