Americans really need to learn how to grow a brain. I can’t believe how much news the removal of a stupid block of granite is causing (it’s on wheels — does that make it a holy roller?).
Their constitution is the most important thing to them. All of it, that is, except for that little apart about separation of church and state. You cannot have a copy of the ten commandments displayed in a public building! Not on the walls, not on the floors, not on a big chunk of rock. Follow the Third Commandment of George Carlin, and keep thy religion to thyself.
On the bright side, we have a blissfully contradictory statement to enjoy.
“It’s not about a monument,” he said. “It’s not about religion. It’s about the acknowledgment of almighty God.”
— (Suspended, hopefully former) Chief Justice Roy Moore
How is the acknowledgement of “almighty God” (capital G and everything) not about religion?

Geez Mark, I don’t know why you can never see past religion and just get right down to the acknowledgment of Almighty God. I just don’t understand you Mark.

I saw on some morning talk show that his reference to ‘Almighty God’ comes straight from their state Constitution. Something like.. We the people… blah blah blah… something something, and the acknowledgement of Almighty God… blah blah blah.
I don’t agree with him, but that’s why and where he gets his argument from. Just FYI.
