Chief Justice Roy Moore maintains that government must acknowledge the God upon whom America's moral principles were founded and that it is constitutional and ethical to do so. During the last fifty years, federal judges have misconstrued and abused the concept of “separation of church and state,” censoring God from the public square and depleting the moral fiber of our nation.
As a judge, Roy Moore was sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Some critics have claimed that he violated the law by disobeying the order of a federal judge to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments. But chief Justice Moore brilliantly argues that by refusing to follow the unlawful demands of a federal judge, he denied the rule of man and upheld the Constitution of the United States, the true rule of law, and his oath required.
So Help Me God explains why elected and appointed government officials have not only the right but also the duty to acknowledge God as the moral foundation of American law and government.
So Help Me God
Moore, Roy
Federal judges who hypocritically open their courts with a prayer and yet prohibit public displays that acknowledge the sovereignty of God have placed themselves above the law, making their opinions the new standard of right and wrong - and leading us as a society to deny the very existence of God. But Judge Roy Moore has had enough. The courageous Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice who was removed from the bench for his refusal to take down a display of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Judicial Building tells his story in So Help Me God: The Ten Commandments, Judicial Tyranny, and the Battle for Religious Freedom.
In this no-holds-barred account of his battles to restore the proper place of religion in the public sphere, Judge Moore recounts his bare-knuckle fight with the ACLU; his efforts to combat Leftist disinformation and restore a proper understanding of the Establishment Clause; his trial in federal court - by turns farcical and deadly serious -- and its implications for the rule of law in the United States; his battle to protect the Ten Commandments monument in the Alabama court building (including a full explanation of why he felt bound to disobey the order to remove it); his controversial and politically motivated removal from his post as Alabama Chief Justice, and much more.
Judge Roy Moore reveals:
- Why the greatest danger we face today is from those who in the name of freedom tell us that we must turn our backs on God
- The critical and much-overlooked difference between the rule of law and the rule of man
- How Judge Roy worked hard while serving on the Alabama bench to uphold the moral foundations of our laws
- The ACLU: how it is built on deception, and is neither "American" in its mission nor dedicated to true "civil liberties"
- The famous civil rights leader who declared: "A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God"
- How many of Moore's most tenacious opponents manifested an appalling ignorance of American law and history
- The U.S. Supreme Court that forthrightly affirmed that Americans are a Christian people, "acknowledging with reverence the duty of obedience to the will of God"
- How, by ordering Moore to remove the Ten Commandments monument, a lower federal court actually intended to force him to deny the sovereignty of God
- The ridiculous 1980 U.S. Supreme Court decision that declared that leading schoolchildren to "read, meditate upon . . . venerate and obey" the Ten Commandments was "not a permissible state objective"
- How the ACLU's case against Moore was shown to be absurd and ill-founded from the very opening of courtroom proceedings
- "Moore 1, ACLU 0": how Judge Roy defeated the first assault against his defense of the Ten Commandments -- and why he was unable to overcome the next onslaught
- How both the first Chief Justice, John Jay, and the first President, George Washington, demonstrated that they realized that belief in God was the foundation of all oaths, as well as of all properly functioning legal structures
- Revealed: the true agenda of the Alabama Freethought Association, which challenged Moore's Ten Commandments monument
- How Moore's struggle threatened the philosophy of judicial supremacy -- thus earning him the enmity of judges who didn't want to be reminded that there is a God (or a Constitution)
- How the court order to Moore to remove the Ten Commandments monument violated both the U.S. and the Alabama Constitutions
- The absurdity of the grounds on which Moore was found guilty of violating the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics
- How even judges today do not understand what all American schoolchildren were taught in past ages: that our religious freedom is not freedom from religion, but actually comes from God
- How Moore sought to operate according to the principle enunciated by the Founding Father who thundered: "Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?"
- Why it is not true that our government must be neutral toward God for all citizens to have freedom of conscience (and no, the Constitution doesn't say so, either)
Says Judge Moore: "There is a spiritual battle raging across our land -- a battle between good and evil, right and wrong, light and darkness. This is a struggle between those who acknowledge Almighty God and those who deny His sovereignty." So Help Me God is an indispensable handbook to help you take your places with the forces of light, and fight the crucial struggle to return America to the knowledge of God, upon which our laws are founded.
