CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Thank your for the lin DD.
In the frist 10 minutes or so of the interview Moore makes this claim:
"You see our Constitution says that our Justice system is established invokingthe favor of almighty God. And if I can't aknowledge God, then I can't uphold our Justice system"
He also says that the Feds have no jurisiction over the state justice systems. And he says that quite matter-of-factually as if 180 years of case law had not been estabished to the contrary.
The man is either an incorrigible lier or he is completely insane.

you know I always though that the constitution was rather silly, but having read through it after this topic came up, I rather like it. Apart from the gun silliness... though I suppose it was useful at the time.

What is amazing about Moore is that he repeatedly claims the a federal judge's interpretation of the law doesn't matter and that this is a state's rights issue(because he thinks the interpretation is wrong). Then he says he is waiting for the Supreme Court to make its ruling and decide the matter. Uh, can you say 'contradiction? How about 'wack-o'?

Hey, we Americans may love our guns, but we're a peace-loving people for the most part.
Of course, we became a peace-loving people by shooting all the people who threatened to disturb our peace...

What if the Supreme Court agrees with him? What would be the label used then?
Incorrigible lier or completely insane? Yes but isn't this the view of most atheists in regards to Christians?
I for one believe that he should obey the law as written. If it is written that he must adhere to the higher court's decision, then he should. If he has a problem with having to do this, he needs to take that to the Supreme Court. I am an American and I believe we have a workable system here. I am all for following the rules.

The hypoethetical is improbable. As it stands, he is running counter to almost two centuries of case law on states rights, and he is literally imagining things if he thinks the Constitution syas our law is established on the favor of God. Read the document yourself, there are no such words in it.
and I can't speak for other atheists, but no I do not consider all theists insane or liers. I reserve that for people like Moore who demonstrate a complete lack of integrity, all the while pretending they are champions of morality.

Speaking as an agnostic, I do not consider all theists to be insane or liars either. Just the insane, lying ones.

He would be the hypocrite - for expecting others to obey the courts when he himself only does so if he agrees with their decisions.
