First Amendment Only Applies to Christians? Tell the Alabama Chief Justice to Resign

It is absolutely stunning that a man with this profoundly warped view of the Constitution is the chief justice of a state:

Speaking at the Pastor for Life Luncheon, which was sponsored by Pro-Life Mississippi, Chief Justice Roy Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court declared that the First Amendment only applies to Christians because "Buddha didn't create us, Mohammed didn't create us, it was the God of the Holy Scriptures" who created us.

The First Amendment is the foundation of American freedom and democracy, and someone with such a fundamental misunderstanding of it should not be a judge of any kind, let alone highest one in the state.

Send Roy Moore a message: Tell him he needs to resign.

I think he was the nutcase who refused to remove a massive Ten Commandments monument even when ordered to do so by another court. They removed him from office for ethical problems.

Isn't he the same douchebag who installed a ten commandments monument in the courthouse and ignored orders to remove it?
