Judge Moore Does Not Support Marriage Amendment
Chief Justice Roy Moore does not support an amendment to ban gay marriage. He says renegade courts would cause problems. Moore believes that if marriage is constitutionally defined as between a man and a woman, some judge would allow a man to marry his sister or daughter. He believes a better solution is for Congress to pass the Constitution Restoration Act (PDF Format). This Act would stop courts from forbidding the acknowledgement of God as the basis of law. He says marriage between a man and a woman is what God intended.

Chief Justice Roy Moore -- a respected voice among many conservative and religious groups -- doesn't think a constitutional amendment to ban homosexual marriage is the right approach. Such an amendment would not work, he says, because the real problem is renegade courts. If marriage was constitutionally defined as a man and a woman, he says some judge would probably let a man marry his sister or daughter. Moore says Congress would be wiser to pass the Constitution Restoration Act (PDF Format), which would stop courts from forbidding acknowledgment of God as the basis of law. He says marriage as the union of a man and a woman is a God-ordained institution. If that standard is destroyed, Moore says there is nothing to keep three men and a horse from getting married -- or an entire city. (Information from AgapePress)

Riley picks Troy King to replace Judas turncoat
Troy King has been handed a political plum, no question about that. Gov. Bob Riley on Monday crowned King as Alabama's new attorney general to serve out the remainder of Bill Pryor's term. King is receiving this awesome responsibility and opportunity as a relatively young man. Even so, at 35, he's slightly older than Pryor was at the time of his initial appointment as attorney general. In addition, despite his youth, King is already well-grounded and well-respected in state government.

Georgia Senate Urges Cities,
State to Display Ten Commandments
ATLANTA -- A resolution urging city and state governments to display the Ten Commandments passed the state Senate on Tuesday, joining a host of other socially conservative measures adopted by the chamber this year. The resolution, sponsored by Sen. Jeff Mullis, R-Chickamauga, calls such displays an acknowledgment of Gods sovereignty over civil government and encourages local leaders to place them in government buildings. It also calls on Gov. Sonny Perdue to install a similar display at the state Capitol.

Lawyer: There's no defence against 6th Commandment
Ten Commandments covered during murder trial,
Hundreds of people protest judge's decision
One of the Ten Commandments is taking center stage in a murder trial in Nash County. Andre Edwards is on trial for killing a young mother. Edwards' attorneys convinced the judge to cover up the Ten Commandments hanging on the wall in the courthouse, because of commandment number 6. Andre Edwards has openly admitted to killing Ginger Hayes. It is for that reason that he and his attorneys thought the words "Thou Shalt Not Kill" might sway the jurors to sentence Edwards to death. Now hundreds of people are protesting the judge's decision to cover those words up.

Have Commandments Will Travel?
Another Twist In Boise Ten Commandments Saga
BOISE - Since the Eagles Lodge donated it to the City of Boise in 1965, the Ten Commandments monument has stood quietly, almost unnoticed, in Julia Davis Park. But ever since the city council voted to avoid lawsuits and remove the monument from the park, the monument has been on quite a "figurative" journey. The latest stage in the journey comes as the Keep The Commandments Coalition is asking the Eagles Lodge to donate the monument to the coalition. Then, when the city removes the monument from the park, the coalition would turn it into a travelling display of sorts.

Everybody and their mother is a 'Movie Critic' --section

The Passion-less
by Steve Wetzel, editor, MTTU News
Everyone and their mother seem to be giving a review of "The Passion of the Christ." I just saw the film 30 minutes ago - and have a few words about it. Two words that immediately come to mind about this film are "boring" and "awful." It was one of the worst portrayals of Jesus on film - and I am not including films that are only meant to slam our Lord like the "Last Temptation of Christ." This film pales in comparison to great movies like the "Greatest Story Ever Told."

A Hindu Looks At The Passion Of The Christ
For me, Christianity has always been the face of Mother Teresa. So I still don't understand what truth means ultimately and what the Sanskrit maxim, Satyam vijayate (Truth will be victorious), means after all. So when I and my wife Varsha, a devout Vaishnava whose beliefs and practices come very close to the non-violent image of Christianity went to see The Passion of the Christ, the desire was to experience how Mel Gibson saw the truth about Jesus.
