There are numerous collections of Luther's writings that shed light on his thoughts and theology; they paint Luther as very human, with his good points and bad points, rather than the often white-washed Luther I've read in many Christian writings. His infamous "Stab, smite, and slay" speech...

Those verses are irrelevant to the separation of church and state issue. Obviously, those verses would preclude worship of the state, but nobody is forcing you to worship the state. That sounds like a good way to absolve any Christian of any responsibility for turning people away from the...

Which specific rights have you lost?

Gotta like that Christian love that just oozes out of this place.

Perhaps you can be the one to step up and prove that Moore's actions are in fact "righteous". Christian opinion is divided. Whenever I ask for proof of righteousness in regards to Moore, I get a lecture on how Christians are being oppressed and we must not stand for it any more.

And any Christian who stands up for their beliefs MUST agree with you? If not, who are you talking to, since nobody here is fence-sitting?

Okay, that just decided my opinion on the whole matter. Clearly the 10 commandments don't need to be there, or they would have been there since the creation of the courthouse. This whole thing is a publicity stunt by Moore, and many in here are buying in hook, line, and sinker. How does it feel...

What about all of those who are trying to have the statue removed? You certainly don't sound very respectful of them.

Have the commandments been there as long as the courthouse has, or were they added afterwards?

Which freedom is that? The freedom for Christians to display their particular religious ideals in public places? Tell me, would you let Muslims put the law as contained in the Qu'ran up at the front of a courtroom? How about at the front of an elementary school class? Did the constitution...

And what of those who are deliberately pushed away by the antics of those like Judge Moore? Tell me, will you lose more souls through these actions, or through inaction? So because God must agree with you, your opinion is correct? Can you please provide a list of the nations to which you...

So tell me. Would you support a Muslim who decided to break the law because he believed a law went against the Qu'ran?

Can you point out the verse where it is stated "thou shalt not endorse the separation of church and state"? How about "thou shalt ensure that the state endorses one religion over another"? And blatant intolerance and disobedience is going to win nobody to the cause of Christianity. How many...

If it's God's will that it happens, why do you fight it? I don't argue whether or not His teachings are beneficial. I argue that certain people are using those teachings in a very unbeneficial way that is harmful to American society and blatantly against the Constitution you claim to...

Can you post a link to a credible source for that? It also doesn't take a genius to note the shift in religious affiliations within the nation and the decrease in membership of the dominant protestant church. Now tell me, are they fighting against God, or against state endorsement of one...
