Christianity forever...

These are the words that are often indirectly spoken by Alabama G.O.P. gubernatorial candidate Roy Moore. Moore's belief of Judeo-Christianity has put him in the hot seat since his election as Supreme Court justice in 2000. Now he is planning to ride the resulting notoriety from the Ten Commandment controversy to get elected as the governor of Alabama. While his campaign is solid with his Christian backings, Moore seems to have forgotten that the United States gives its citizens religious freedom, freedom that he tends to be condemning with every media appearance. Roy Moore's propensity to put down the practices of other religions and break the law is what makes him an unsuitable candidate for the position of governor.

Roy Moore has chosen the ideal state to ace a stunt like this one. Alabama is a state known for its religious demeanor and old -fashion way of life. It is also a state that voted against a great idea like the lottery. It is also a state that thrives from its Christians, because the Christians have a great deal of the assets. I have to give him a standing ovation. He has planned this perfectly.

* Get elected as Alabama chief justice

* Sneaked a monument carved with the Ten Commandments in the state building rotunda

* Cause a scene when asked to remove it

* Get many Christian supporters

* Get suspended from job for breaking the law

* Get Christian supporter to provide you money

* Make many media appearance explaining you elucidation of the laws

* Gubernatorial election coming

* Announce your candidacy for Alabama governor.

What about the minorities? The Atheists, for example, would be forced to listen to Moore's Judeo-Christian rhetoric. Which would directly affect their rights as Americans. To be the governor Moore should not openly express is religious bias. There is a thin line between true belief and exploitation and Moore has begun to cross that line. He is beginning to use his beliefs to gain popularity.

For those of us that know a little about the Bible, we know that a monument is not the way that God want us to show reverence to him, that is even one of the Ten Commandments that are engraved on the monument that Moore is standing so firmly to defend. But people do not seem to understand that the removal of the monument is not going to prevent them from serving God, just as they did before its placement. Phil Beverly, one of Moore's supporters, said, "we are Godly people and the Ten Commandments represent our submission to God." The second commandment states,

" Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth" (Exodus 20:4). The monument is not needed to show obedience to God, because the monument would be considered a graven image, which is a direct disregard to the second commandment.

Alabama has had more than its fair share of extremist leaders. His election would not benefit the state. It would be more like, taking a hundred
