The Eleventh Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Exploit the Lord Thy God
for Cheap Political Gain
Another good one from the Angry Liberal.

"I guess we're all missing quite a little show in Alabama. It seems the state's chief justice, Roy Moore, has set an interesting precedent. It turns out that all of these laws that our legislators cooked up over the years are just sort of guidelines. If you don't like a particular law, it's okay to just ignore it. As a matter of fact, it's okay to call up a bunch of your inbred buddies and kick up a big stink while you ignore a particular law. Feel free to gather up a whole flock of fellow Deliverance extras and camp out on the courthouse lawn. Can't you just smell the B.O. and homemade hooch from here?

Yeeeeeee - HAAAAAA!"

As a native Alabamian I am NOT offended. The truth does not offend me, no matter how painful.

1. It's already covered.
The commandment against graven images, which is what the monument is.

2. There's also the little matter of taking the name of the Lord in vain.
Sure sounds like that's already covered in the first ten commandments. Double covered, actually, when you add in their performance around a graven image.

3. Yup, 2nd: Do not use God's name for vain purposes.
Such as trying to retain vanity power by using God.

Ask yourself, would you really want to live the life the judge here leads. He seems confused, fearfull, and in deep denial. Not how I want to live my lifetime.
