whoever strated this thread, although 'anonymous', was not exactly trolling in the classic sense. I would not have replied at all if the idea was simply to get us fighting among ourselves.

I AM sad that someone, even expressing strong opinion, was afraid/unwilling to have any identity, but it was entirely possible for someone else to have started a discussion of the Alabama situation with a 'gentler' approach, and still have elicited the same basic responses.

The issue involved with the monument is kind of an important one in our society, as it relates to "how to be fair to all and still impose nothing on anyone and not suggest that our government supports any particular version of religion."

This man, Justice Moore, is cut from the same cloth as Pat Robertson and the most extremist Muslim clerics and Mormon Elders.....they would TELL us, if they could, what to do, what to believe, when to think and how to act.

If the situation were that someone were trying to tell Judge Moore he could not put that monument at his church, I would be the first to argue on HIS side!
