    No, it is most CERTAINLY a double standard. Lincoln continually referred to GOD yet no one bats an eye.

    Since you have no way of knowing one from the other you are always using a double standard. Well, maybe if you can read minds.

    You shouldn't say such nasty things about Nic. He's a liberal but OK as far as I'm concerned.

    But where is that separation between Wall St. and the State, where the church is forced to turn sideways. They never meant that God would not be participating in the lives of people as they pursued the Spirit of 1776 to convey, what God had separated, let no man join together, and that is the purse seems way too deficient to fix anything!

    How many people were imported into that same state that held an election to make sure the Democratic party stayed in power? Some are saying some real cheating happened, but that it wasn't in Mr. Moore's electoral turn-out, but that real, fraudulent cheating occurred in the ballot boxes, and so they will see who is seen to really be losing.

    Since concessions have no legal effect, why does it matter?

    So, in your view, I have to treat anyone who invokes the name of God with exactly the same deference (or disdain) or I'm being hypocritical?

    Moore isn't opposed or criticized because he claims to know and do God's will. He is opposed and criticized, even by many active Christians, because he advocates the imposition of certain Christian doctrines on the general population by the State, and he seeks to use the power of the government to curtail or limit the equal rights of citizens based on gender, sexuality or religious Faith.

    Back to the topic of the OP.

    Yeah, Roy Moore needs to concede the election. A little ridiculous not to at this point.


    Even Trump and Bannon are telling Moore to knock off the silliness....

    To the extent that that is true, perhaps it has something to do with context, r. If someone is invoking the name of God in order to justify legal barriers to same-sex marriage, or to explain the terrorist attacks of 9-11, or to propose that Muslims be forbidden from holding public office in the U.S. - all positions that Roy Moore has taken - perhaps a bit of "howling" is to be expected.

    Pardon me if I opt for Jefferson's position over that of Scalia.
