Judge Roy Moore Needs to Switch from Politics to Preaching



You'll notice that every time he mentions God, the crowd responds passionately, almost like a church service.  Amen. Yes.  Mmhmm. That's right.
I'm actually surprised I didn't hear a Hallelujah.
He isn't giving a political speech, he's not trying to influence anybody, he's preaching to his the choir, he's leading on sheep that pose as people. That's what makes me so pissed off, especially in cases regarding religion. They aren't supposed to be speaking to crowds of anti-fervor, they aren't used to giving their opinions to crowds of people that outwardly despise them, he is fervently giving his fervent opinion to people who have the same fervent confirmation bias. (Pardon my use of the f-word.)

He's not a politician, he's a preacher and he should be taken out of office and given a pulpit in a run-down back alley church somewhere out on the black lagoon where he was born and raised.
This is Alabama's Chief Justice, and he is only interested in giving and getting justice for Christians. I wonder if he only means Protestants, or Catholics, or just people that believe in his God and go to his church. Where is the line drawn, Roy? Where do people start to deserve these so-called God-given rights, and are you sure that you're the one who's equal to the task of giving those rights, i.e., are you claiming to have the rights and responsibilities of the God you so clearly serve?
It sounds to me like the only God you serve, just as so many others serve, served and will continue to serve, is yourself. I've read the comments on youtube and the posts other people have written on your fervor. You don't speak for all Christians, let alone all Alabamians. Your homophobic pro-religious agenda can stay right where you are, and if you continue this Westboro Baptist path you can end up on the hate-group list with them.
People will protest you. People will rise up against you, this isn't going to end for you. These superstitions and myths you hold dear will die off in the light of reason, logic, and true justice. Step down from your position, sir. Let the people who are qualified and dignified enough to run a real office do so, and you can go into a field that you will do much better in, I'm sure. Televangelism would suit you well, perhaps.
