Alabama Chief Justice Defends Ten Commandments Monument

MONTGOMERY, Ala. â€” The chief justice of Alabama's Supreme Court said he installed a 5,300-pound monument to the Ten Commandments in the state Judicial Building because he was concerned about the moral decline of the nation.

Three thoughts on this:

1. Glad that Judge Moore enunciated that the Torah is the foundation of western law & morality.

2. I'm sad that Judge Moore installed his monument in the middle of the night. When you do well, why hide it under a bushel? Matthew 5:16.

3. A good monument to atheism would be a statue of a court jester with the inscription "Psalm 14:1" on it.
