Republicans Say the Darndest Things - Christians Only, Please

Roy Moore
Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court


Speaking in Mississippi at the Pastor for Life Luncheon, Justice Roy Moore said that the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment applies only to Christians.  He explained it this way:

"Buddha didn't create us, Mohammed didn't create us, it was the God of the Holy Scriptures (that created America.)  They didn't bring the Koran over on the pilgrim ship.  Let's get real, let's go back and learn our history."
So, in Mr. Moore's America, Christians are #1 and everyone else is relegated to the Realm of the Great Unwashed.  I guess the Biblical admonition to "Love thy neighbor as thyself" isn't all that important in Mr. Moore's church.  And as for learning our history, it appears his elementary school forgot the chapter on "All men are created equal." 
Why do I feel that if Roy Moore were to encounter the Good Samaritan, he would advise him to keep walking?
