It is a two ton granite block in Alabama...

Not to Judge Roy Moore though.
To him, that granite block inscribed with the ten commandments (which he ordered set up in the lobby of the Alabama Supreme Court in the dead of night) is a spiritual being imbued with heavenly power.
So much so that worshippers from an old timey church across the street have prostrated themselves before it and vow all manner of civil disobedience to prevent it's court ordered removal.
There is a term for this, it is none too high falutin' it is called Pagan Idolatry...and followers for of the Conservative GOP-God of thunder and fund-raising, are sodden with it.
It has become in short order a sort of white cracker Lourdes surrounded by bibliolators, cranks, cross bearers and freaky dangerous yokels.
This is nothing new in U.S. History, we've been worshipping a variety of golden calves in this country for decades now, from Betty Grable's legs to the supple Newtonian movements of the holy Free Market.
We pretty much rely on any nasty little pocket fetish that can rubbed, invoked and worshipped as a bulwark against life's little humiliations.
We worship things in this country, not ideas and certainly little enough of any idea of God.
Worshipping rocks though, that is not only pagan it's classically primitive.
You have to go back to those mechanical idols favored by Ming the Merciless in the old Flash Gordon serials to find something equally silly and atavistic.
I think Clarence Darrow was right, civilization has crested at it's high water mark and is in the process of de-evolving back into the bone caves.
However before it all goes to smash...maybe we could draft a team of radical agnostics to steal into the rotunda and start sacrificing white doves on Roy Moore's block.
As the cops drag them away they can shout "the entrails foretell danger danger!"
Lets see if we can convert this block into a aviary butchery.... really cover it with dove blood.
Failing that we oughta plant directional speakers around the rotunda and get a ghostly voice to order the congregation donate money to John Kerry's campaign.
No!
Al Sharpton, it's just funnier that way.
Sick
Demented
Typical...

PS Has Judge Moore ever actually condemned anyone to death in defiance of that whole "thou shalt not kill" mishaugas?
