    The Alabama Chief Justice Who Invoked God in Deciding the Embryo Case

    But the court’s chief justice, Tom Parker, drew on more than the Constitution and legal precedent to explain his determination.

    “Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God,” he wrote in a concurring opinion that invoked the Book of Genesis and the prophet Jeremiah and quoted at length from the writings of 16th- and 17th-century theologians.

    “Even before birth,” he added, “all human beings have the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory.”

    During a recent interview on the program of self-proclaimed “prophet” and QAnon conspiracy theorist Johnny Enlow, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker indicated that he is a proponent of the “Seven Mountain Mandate,” a theological approach that calls on Christians to impose fundamentalist values on all aspects of American life.

    Enlow is a pro-Trump “prophet” and leading proponentof the “Seven Mountain Mandate,” a “quasi-biblical blueprint for theocracy” that asserts that Christians must impose fundamentalist values on American society by conquering the “seven mountains” of cultural influence in U.S. life: government, education, media, religion, family, business, and entertainment.

    It’s interesting that our resident PrO-LiFeRs and morality superheroes are missing from this thread.

    I'd never heard of this "Mandate." According to Wikipedia, God waited until 1975 to tell a few people about it.

    The irony is there is no way Trump could live under the rules of such a mandate.

    Can you freeze your child for 35 years so they can see the wonders of the future?

    Not so fast, children deniers. I've been told that if you put a stethoscope over one of those embryos, you can hear it cry.

    I'm pro-life and I've already posted on this thread. While I do believe live begins when a heartbeat starts and can be detected, anything before that is just the foundation of life. I don't believe an embryo constitutes life yet and I've already said I'm critical of this decision and that it should be overturned.

    Since when did court rulings become sermons about "a holy God" creating life in his image? Isn't there something somewhere in this country about separation of church and state?

    One of the worst and most hypocritical decisions ever by a supreme court in America. This from a state famous for ignoring the sanctity of a black person's life.

    Does this do away with the death penalty?

    Did anyone see if the ruling described the Bokanovsky Process?

    Religious nutters are the bane of humanity. They must be mocked and stopped.

    I was thinking that they were blathering on with their nonsense but me having them ignored had them ignored.
