Rocket City Reacts to Moore Verdict: "While Moore's future is up in the air, the church-goers at The Rock worry about our nation's future.

'We have a legacy, and I just have to question what kind of legacy are we going to leave our children and our children's children?' asked Buhler.

'Once we take God out of our lives, we lose what our nation was founded on,' Summers said."

So how are we taking God out of our lives here again? By saying that the Ten Commandments statue is inappropriate in this one setting, we are taking god out of our lives? Nevermind that the 10 C's suggest that idols are a bad idea, what about those commandments that in a way conflict with our laws? It would be illegal to require Americans to have no other God but Yahweh. It is not against the law to not keep the Sabbath holy nor is it to commit adultery.

But all of that aside, the very small God that these people worship is scary. Removing an elaborate statue is enough, in their theology, to somehow kick God out of our society. But then again, people made similar complaints about Columbine--saying that removing prayer from school had caused God to remove his hand and allow such a horror to happen. Forgetting, of course, all the praying students and teachers. Evidently, in this theology, if the top doesn't recognize God, then it matters not what the people below them do. So, we are screwed as a nation if the Prez somehow doesn't respect God. What a screwy theology!
