Hear, Hear! This does say it all.
I'm a Pagan from Alabama originally and know just how radical and intolerant the religious right can get down there. They would probably spit brimstone and ash and all the Lord's wrath if the Koran and a Witch's book of shadows were on display at the public courthouse. Leave religion at home or at church or on the bumper of your car, not on or in goverment buildings. [/QUOTE]Well Chewbacca, I beleive you are letting your own bigotry and predijustice cloud you. I am from and currently live in Alabama, voted for judge Moore,along with the majority of the voting population of Alabama, I am also a Christian, INFACT I would be considered by majority of the world's population to be part of the RELIGIOUS RIGHT, and answered the question the EXACT oposite of the way you put forth in your above statement. I find it interesting that (as of reading down to your reply) only two comments where made about the question of how Christains would feel about the Koran, or any other religious laws posted in a court, AND both replies DID NOT wait until a Christian to answered before they passed judgment.
Why not have the 10 comandments in court? Could it be because that would be considered imposing Judge Moore's views on others? If that is so then NOT having the 10 comandments in the court would be IMPOSING somebody else's views on the majority of the voting population of the state of Alabama who voted for Judge Moore knowing full well he was going to put the 10 comandments up. But I guess it is ok to IMPOSE some views, but not other views, HMMMMMMM?
What about imposing one's sense morality in the law? Well guess what ALL laws are imposing somebody's sense of morality. That is what laws are!!! DICTATING Right and wrong, same with morality right and wrong.
The US Supreme Court opens with a prayer, Both houses of Congress open with prayers, and the Supreme Court has up held their right to do so.
