by a Judge in History."

stupidest thing said by anyone anywhere, barring a Darwin award.

They seem to be coming fast and furious with the stupid lately.

have been coming up with lately has been so beyond stupid, I can't even get my mind around it. I just want to pound my head against the wall.

It's like they're saying idiotic things on purpose because they know that we'll be immediately struck into a catatonic state by their supreme stupidity, and therefore won't be able to argue back. It's just another way to silence us.

Jumbo shrimp is easier to swallow than this load of manure that goofball Moore is spouting.

It's Qur'an based justice, usually adjudicated by a mullah, usually applied to social or family law.

I see ZERO chance that anyone is actually going to VOTE for a mullah in a Judicial election.

And HOW, exactly does "secular government" lead to an EXTREME form of theocratic law?

But you see, the problem is, they would like the exact same thing in America, Christian version.

But how to you reconcile Muslim law bad, Christian law good, when they are pretty much the exact same thing?

You twist your brain into all sorts of knots to equate secular with sharia.

Personaly, the stupidity of the statement should bar him from the bench. How can anyone trust any of his judgements?

and a vacuum will let Sharia law in.

But then he forgot about the First Amendment and that government shall not Establish a religion or prohibit the Free Exercise thereof. He must have known about it when he passed the bar examination.

There can be no Sharia law in the U.S. and no Catholic Law and no Fundy Law. Churches are separate. What a maroon.

And I do emphasize MORON.

And people this imbecilic vote. Given this utter lack of reasoning skills it's a wonder they can wipe their asses without instructions printed on the TP. If teh stoopid were gold, they could buy the moon ten times over.

What a moron.

You have to wonder what critical thinking leads to. That must really scare the shit out of them.

Fuck him - I'd love to have a truly secular government - which is exactly what our founding fathers intended in the first place.

To paraphrase him: "If you are freely practicing your religion, thank a secularist." It is ONLY in a constitutionally secular society that religious freedom and diversity may exist.

Not doing the god thing results in doing the god thing? Huh?

The bar exam must have been easier when this dolt became a lawyer.

If his deity is not properly worshiped, demons will move in and take over. He believes the supernatural is real, and humans are the stake in a conflict between his deity and its demonic enemies: humans cannot avoid participating in this struggle, only choose sides in it, and whatever someone may think of their choice, any choice which is not allegiance to his deity is alignment with demons. He will believe that all other deities besides his own which people may worship are in fact demonic counterfeits, and he will certainly class 'Allah' among these demonic impostors, viewing Mohammed as a classic case of demonic possession. To him, 'Sharia Law' is the ultimate expression of demonic influence on earth, so whatever does not uphold Christianity, his deity, is indeed working to bring about imposition of Sharia Law, since not upholding Christianity is in fact aligning with demons, and increasing their influence.

Your whole explanation, while cogent, requires a willful rejection of logic, no?

But if his belief in the supernatural and its operation is taken as axiomatic, then the various steps would seem to follow logically. A 'garbage in, garbage out' scenario.

So, we're both right. It requires a willing suspension of logic to be this "logical".

Particularly on a formal question.

But, that's you, ain't it?

That is easily one of the best concise explanations of how fundamentalist Christians view the world that I have read. I can attest to its veracity as for several years during part of high school and college I was part of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement that swept the country in the 1970s. I never did fall for all of the beliefs, like creationism and the inerrancy of the Bible, but I did go to prayer meetings and spoke in tongues. During those couple of years, I met many people who believed exactly as you described. One of the key moments in my recovery was when I was talking to a friend of mine in college, mentioned I was a Christian and her response was 'oh but you can't be - you don't worship the devil.' What she meant was that I didn't turn every minor mishap into a 'the devil did that to me or caused it to happen to weaken my faith or to tempt me away from my God'. That day marked the beginning of leaving Christianity behind. Thank you very much for your insightful post.

You had a good and wise friend there.

35 plus years later and we are still friends. Just one small point, I'm a ma'am, not a sir.

Alabama- a scary place.

That's about it.

If he can't grasp this then he is off the charts unqualified to interpret complex law.

People that have that point of view have become Governors, and Senators and Representatives in our state legislatures and also in our U.S. Congress.

And now one wants to become the President of the United States.

"Corporations are people, my friend" will become "the United States is a Christian nation, my friend" real quick this summer as Romney tries to woo Republicans into voting for him.
