Well, I'm not a fundie, and am not too happy about Justice Moore, but I believe that the Alabama Supreme Court overstepped its authority in having Moore remove the Ten Commandments monument. It is as historical as it is religious, and contains the most basic ethical code Westerners use. There is a reason why it wasn't a monument to the Code of Hammurabi: it has extremely little influence on modern ethics.

are you kidding me? that should make liberals and secularists leap for joy! Moore is so conspicuously crazy, and so dedicated to forwarding his own personal agenda at the expense of American law, that his efforts to push himself into the spotlight only serve to further embarass the religious wing. he's a traitor to the most central values of American culture, and anybody with a scrap of patriotism or intelligence knows it...his very existence has done more to help promote secularism than any atheist or secular organization in the country.

I'm sure it has changed since then.
