Garrison Keillor: A Ten Commandments judge to beat back Beatitudes
The triumph of Judge Roy Moore in Alabamas Republican Senate primary was a ray of sunshine for those of us whod like to restore stoning to our legal system and remove the curse of profanity once and for all from our country.
Scripture is very clear: Thou shalt not swear. But Gods chosen party, the Republican Party, has waffled on this issue, as it has on the issue of adultery and obedience to parents and observance of the Sabbath and the engraving industry. And that is why our country today is on the verge of destruction. The signs are everywhere. Judge Moore is the only man who dares say so.
In Deuteronomy, God makes it clear that a rebellious child should be brought before the elders and stoned to death. Its there in black and white. We ignore these things at our peril. Establishment Republicans and a great many Christians have adopted the leftist Let him who is without sin throw the first stone approach to the law, which would produce utter anarchy sinlessness as a requirement for service on a jury and Judge Moore of Alabama is a prophet in our time, calling us to return to Gods Word.
Democrats are fine with the Beatitudes Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven and all that but blessing people is no substitute for upholding Gods standards, and there are people in spiritual poverty who express that by taking the Lords name in vain, or by shopping on Sunday, or disobeying their parents, or by coveting their neighbors wife, and if we dont punish sin, then sin will overrun the nation, as it has done already. That is why Judge Moore is not a Beatitudes guy but a Ten Commandments man. The law is the law.
