That is, unless you'd prefer to be judged by someone who never tempers the dispensation of justice with mercy...leniency...forgiveness... atonement...second chances. Maybe you'd rather have the kind of judge who goes strictly by the book...follows the law to the letter? Well you're in luck, cuz we've got plenty of those.

Well I have to say I am quite dismayed to hear you say you'd prefer to be judged by a criminal than by an honest individual.
Last time I checked, "mercy...leniency...forgiveness... atonement...second chances" were not characteristic solely possessed by Christians. I never said a judge should NOT use his own thoughts and opinions when passing judgment, my implication is that he should not be guilty of criminal activity himself.....multiple violations at that. Remember, he erected the monument in violation of the Constitution, then refused to remove it in violation of a court order.
So what you are saying is that you'd PREFER to be judged by a man who may very well violate your Constitutional rights as well, because he feels his own opinions are above the law?
Or would it be closer to the truth to say that you don't possess the ability to be objective where your God is concerned?:) That's not a cut on you or your beliefs, merely an observation based on the content of your posts.
