Blind Faith

Okay, someone explain this to me. The 10 Commandment crowd in Alabama are asking a federal court to block the removal of the monument. Wasn't it a federal court which ordered it in the first place? Can a federal court overturn another federal court?

The ironic thing is that by pushing this issue, they risk a court solidifying the church/state separation. There's no legal standing for a courthouse to decide that the Christian monument deserves to stay in a state building. Regardless of the fact that these people seem to think that the Christian 'god' was written into our constitution.

It's not mentioned in the article, but during the press conference the spokesperson suggested that the legislature was working towards impeaching the 8 justices who ordered the federal court ruling to be adhered to.

God help me.

In the comments, Rick from TheRant links to his posting of the "Treaty of Tripoli" in which G. Washington stated the US is not founded on the Christian religion. (Go to his site to read more on it).

George Washington, was well known as one of those "liberals", so naturally he'd take that view.

Speaking of Rants, tgirsch over at LeanLeft has a pretty good one on this topic called Religion is Divisive.

There is a certain exceptionally annoying breed of Christian that feels as if Christianity must pervade every single aspect of their lives. There can be no place where wearing your religion on your sleeve is inappropriate. I don't know if it's insecurity in their beliefs that drives this, but it certainly seems that way. Their beliefs must be continuously publicly reaffirmed, or they feel "persecuted." It's ridiculous.
