That was the whole point. I'm glad you kept this kicked though, I posted it here for only one reason, and that was to make people aware of this underhanded threat to the constitution. I know there have been a lot of religion threads lately, and I have not participated, and I'm kind of mystified that this thread has inpired so much debate. To me, when I read the petition I was struck by the wording and what a gross and obvious violation of the first amendment it is, and all the other stuff that you guys have been debating about is just past tense to me because of the supreme court ruling. I agree with McLarge's characterization of Moore, "right-wing wingnut something or other". I missed out on a lot of the fun because I'm on dial-up and someone here had to use the phone. But I do think that in my first response to you I covered Moore's argument because fundamentalism (which is my religion of origin) pervades worshipping false Gods, so it would be against Moore's religion to post a pagan law code, like you suggested. It's understandable how one could argue this from an intellectual perspective, but people of deep religious faith would see that as an abomination, of putting other Gods before God. Moore is not coming at this from an intellectual angle, if he was, he could have just tacked up something like you suggested, but his faith, and nothing else, won't allow him to do that.
