Wow!
I just read an editorial in the Montgomery Advertiser that sums up all the stuff I've been saying about Roy Moore this whole time!
The link is below and it's well worth reading.
Here are some excerpts:
"In his personal life, Moore is free, and always has been, to practice his religion as he feels led to practice it. He, like any other American, can worship as he chooses in his home or in any house of worship or in any private forum. Government has in no way impinged upon his rights."
Wow, that sounds familiar.......here's more:
"But Moore again like any other citizen is not free to impose his personal religion or any other kind on anyone else. He is not free to use his public position to push his personal religious beliefs on anyone else.
"Nor is he free to ignore with impunity the orders of a higher court. That blatant violation of the Canons of Judicial Ethics, not his practice of his faith, is what cost him his job. And it should have."
See, I'm not the only person who says that Moore did not lose his job because of his faith. He lost it because he disobeyed a federal court order. It actually has nothing to do with his faith - it has to do with his actions.
According to the article, Moore lost his case at every step of the legal process: He lost the first time in the US District Court, the second time at the 11th District US Court of Appeals, and the third time when the US Supreme Court refused to hear his case.
Unlike Moore and many of his followers, however, I don't need a government (or newspaper) to affirm my personal beliefs for me to feel whole......
