Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore
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.
"They didn't bring the Koran over on the pilgrim ship," he continued. "Let's get real, let's go back and learn our history. Let's stop playing games."
He then noted that he loves talking to lawyers, because he is a lawyer who went to "a secular law school," so he knows that "in the law, [talking about God] just isn't politically correct." He claimed that this is why America has "lost its way," and that he would be publishing a pamphlet "this week, maybe next" that contained copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, thereby proving that all the people "who found this nation - black, white, all people, all religions, all faiths" knew that America was "about God."
Chief Justice Moore later defined "life" via Blackstone's Law - a book that American lawyers have "sadly forgotten" - as beginning when "the baby kicks." "Today," he said, "our courts say it's not alive 'til the head comes out."
"Now," he continued, "if technology's supposed to increase our knowledge, how did we become so stupid?" Discussing Thomas Jefferson's use of "life" in the Declaration of Independence, he said that "when [Jefferson] put 'life' in there, it was in the womb - we know it begins at conception. Why aren't we going the right way instead of the wrong way?"
He later said the "pursuit of happiness" meant following God's law, because "you can't be happy unless you follow God's law, and if you follow God's law, you can't help but be happy."
"It's all about God," he continued. "We've made 'life' a decision taken by man," he said, and "taken 'liberty,' and converted it to 'licentiousness. We've taken 'pursuit of happiness,' and reduced it to materialism."
