What is it with these "holier-than-thou" Jesus freaks?

No, Roy Moore, you tried to shove *YOUR* religion on everyone.
THAT is why you lost your ass once, and will lose it again.

Roy Moore: Christians Like Me Are Being Forced Out Of Public Office

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Wednesday, 9/16/2015 11:30 am

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was forced to leave his first post on the state’s high court back in 2003 after he defied a court order to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from state grounds. This, he said in an interview with Eagle Forum Live on Saturday, was all part of the anti-Christian persecution in America that he claims is forcing believers like him out of public office. Anne Cori, Phyllis Schlafly’s niece and the guest-host of the program, asked Moore “how can Christians today live fearlessly” when they are afraid of being “branded a public enemy” for beliefs like opposing marriage equality. Moore responded that the separation of church and state is now being “used to exclude Christians from holding public office.” “Well, that’s what they did to you!” Cori interjected. “Yes, and that’s what they did to others. They’re saying you can profess your beliefs elsewhere, but when you’re under government you cannot,” Moore said.

but it is wrong to call these deluded people "Jesus freaks" because they obviously never read or never comprehended the red letter parts of the new testament. They are zealots of the god of anger and wrath in the old testament.
