re: Conservative Christians rally around persecuted Judge Roy Moore

In the grand scheme of things, what is on our currency doesn't really make a difference. The value is the same whether the motto is there or not. It's symbolic only, and in that regard, we could put anything we wanted to on it. People have been talking about updating the people who are on our currency for years, trying to symbolize our diversity or whatnot. I like having "In God We Trust" on the currency but I wouldn't be too upset if it were removed; it might be more in-line with the godlessness that is becoming more prevalent in our nation anyway if it were gone.

Well, I can agree with this sentiment. All the more reason why electing someone who cares more about this shite than anything else is crazy. It ain't like Roy Moore is going to be co-sponsoring important legislation if/when he gets to office. He's going to go down the predictable path of pandering to the religious right and trying to convince them that they are being persecuted because the 10 commandments aren't plastered in public spaces. It's right wing identity politics.
