They are not. They are saying that government may not promote specific beliefs. Government is not all of "society" or even "the public sphere", not by a long shot.

Oh really? They have said that public schools = govt, that all public courthouses = govt, public parks = govt (as they make their tyrannical ruling from a building emblazoned with the 10 commandments). Any public thing = govt. Case in point: Boy Scouts cannot use Balboa Park in San Diego becuase they were deemed a religious org. by the ACLU and their lackey fed. judge! Want to defend that? It's time to IMPEACH BAD JUDGES and throw them out on their ear.

They have a theocracy-see how you like it!

They too dislike the ten commandments. Go figure!

Hmmmm....which part of the Commandments would a Muslim find objectionable?

You may want to read this. Those who have eyes will see, and those who have ears will hear.

You consider the "unsaved" to be second-class citizens?

Yes, she/he does. Scary, isn't it?

SO the unjust judges of the American Judiciary have
sacraficed an innocent man to protect their prosecution
of corruption. There is truely nothing new under the sun.
And there is no Rule of Law in Alabama

I guess Charlamagne doesn't count.

Charlegmagne was important. However, he stated that he was the direct arbiter of divine law, while the Pope said that he was. Later, the emperors came under the Pope and this hold was not broken until Henry VIII.

On the other hand, America's founders said that the people, not one man, were the final arbiters of divine law and natural law.

MMM, you like federal control, I see, you are (how do you say??) a nationalist??? You don't like state and community control, too much POWER OF THE PEOPLE... very (how do you say??) communal.... (I think that is the word) communal.

"In truth, it was the reintroduction of Greek thought into Europe, transmitted through Jews and Arabs, that brought Europe out of the Dark Ages."

It brought Europe out of the Middle Ages into the Renaissance which set the stage for the Enlightenment, on whose thinking our nation was based.

The Ten Commandments is the basis of all law!

The Constitution protects the right to violate at least three of the ten.

Isn't it a little cheeky for Christianity to claim credit for the discoveries of Copernicus and Galileo when Christianity actively surpressed Coperinican theory and put Galileo on trial???

Good one.

Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than love of God.

"Raise your children up in the way they should go, so when they grow old they will not depart from it".
They must have had parents who were a rightous influence. Imagine if they were raised by liberals.

I adore low class beginnings in people who rise out of it - however, in Moore's case, it appears that he never really shucked the victim attitude I see way too often.

MMM, you like federal control, I see, you are (how do you say??) a nationalist??? You don't like state and community control, too much POWER OF THE PEOPLE...

I prefer power of people (individuals), not "the people" (collectivism). If it takes the power of the federal government to make local wannabe theocrats respect the law, then so be it.

That's what the US Supreme Court has said. The Fourteenth Amendment incorporated the First Amendment to the states.

But that's not what the 1st amendment clearly says.

I agree, but I'm not part of the US Supreme Court.

The SCOTUS has been applying the First Amendment to the states since at least 1925. For instance, in Gitlow v New York:

For present purposes we may and do assume that freedom of speech and of the press -- which are protected by the First Amendment from abridgment by Congress -- are among the fundamental personal rights and "liberties" protected by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment from impairment by the States.

Hmmmm....which part of the Commandments would a Muslim find objectionable?

The very first one. "Thou shall have no other God before me."

[Porterville]

On the other hand, America's founders said that the people, not one man, were the final arbiters of divine law and natural law.

I agree with much of your premise, I believe it could be strengthened or weakened with additional detail... however:

"On the other hand, America's founders said that the people, not one man, were the final arbiters of divine law and natural law."

Moore was elected by the people of the fine state of Alabama, not by a bunch of Lords In Robes

They must have had parents who were a rightous influence. Imagine if they were raised by liberals.

Is that why all the younger voters in the 1980s (raised by hippies and former hippies) voted for Republicans?

Aside from the first two, all civilized societies are based on the premises expressed in the remaining eight. Our society was founded and brought to the apex of its development (about 1940-1945) by people who believed in all ten.

#242...I've been testing what I believe here at FR for 4 years.

However, there seems to be a bigger influx of caustic, antagonistic spoilers more and more lately....

..and I'm tired of wasting my energies on the cyberworld, when perhaps....just perhaps, I can effect more change in the real world.

Having said that, FR is essentially a great place to find breaking news and intelligent commentary if one has the time to look for it

I just don't need a blood pressure eruption today over such as Chancellor Palpatine, or Hillary's Lovely Legs.

Not worth it.
