since Moses is ok - can this bama judge swap out for a life size Moses statue carrying a set of tablets?

Was that in question?

This would still fail the Lemon Test since the chief justice explicitly stated that the primary purpose of the monument was religious and not historical. Throwing Moses into the mix wouldn't change the primary intent and thus would still render the display unconstitutional.

If half the effort spent by folks on both sides of this issue went towards loving one another as God commanded, we wouldn't have any problems in this country.

Or the world.

All religions preach that, but extremists always sway the way people think. That's why separation of church and state is so important. The ruling, in the eyes of the constitution, is the correct one.

Eagler your church is corupted and confused. it is nothing more then a business now that has no idea what jesus preached.
I spit on what your god has become.

People that believe a theocracy works should move to iran or saudi arabia.

Figured I wouldn't get a straightforward answer.

I thought my reply was pretty concise. Moses is an historical figure.....

(hblair receives the lob punt at the 20... what will he do with it?)

So midnight target does believe Moses actually existed, that's a yes or no question.

midnight Target · « **Reply #132 on:** August 26, 2003, 08:20:18 AM »

I never felt inclined to doubt his existence until you pressed me on it. Now I feel the need to research the diverging viewpoints. It would seem that there are 3 main camps here...

1. Moses existed and wrote the 1st 5 books of the Bible
2. Moses existed and may have authored some of the 1st 5 books.
3. Moses never existed, and his name is a Hebrewised version of Ahmose, a Pharoe of the period.

I think he probably existed.

Seeing a picture in USNews of people neelin around the monument praying reminded me of the story about how when Moses came down from the mountain he found people worshiping a bull or something like that.

Funny how a big block of granite can look like a bull...

Yer kinda stretchin' it there Lizard. Lotta difference between praying to a golden calf and praying near a monument.
