Judge Roy Moore cont.
Despite the clear evidence that Moore defied a federal court order, his supporters continue to claim the stupid "God is in control" mantra. Not that God isn't in control. I have no idea. But to exalt this guy simply because he claims he is speaking for God.

Just how did the federal court stop him from acknowledging God? By stopping him from forcing the 10 C's on everyong who comes before his court. Oh, silent prayer--the age-old way that Christians have connected to God? That is gone. We must be public! We must impose our beliefs on those around us--regardless of their beliefs--as a way to show the strength of God. Perhaps God doesn't need our help? That is just the kind of thinking that leads to a tolerant society.

This is just one of the reasons that I don't call attention to my faith. I would rather be thought of as an unbeliever than be lumped in with people like Moore and his supporters.
