-Speaking at the Pastor for Life Luncheon, which was sponsored by Pro-Life Mississippi, Chief Justice Roy Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court declared that the First Amendment only applies to Christians because “Buddha didn’t create us, Mohammed didn’t create us, it was the God of the Holy Scriptures” who created us.
“They didn’t bring the Koran over on the pilgrim ship,” he remarked January 17 at the event in Jackson, Mississippi. “Let’s get real, let’s go back and learn our history. Let’s stop playing games.”
-CNN dredged up an 12-year-old video of Moore on C-SPAN2, in which pundit Bill Press grilled Moore on his views on homosexuality.
"Homosexual conduct should be illegal, yes," Moore said.
He then made a remark likening homosexuality to having sex with animals.
"Do you know that bestiality, the relationship between man and beast is prohibited in every state?" he asked.
"You mean homosexuality is same thing as bestiality?" Press replied.
"It is a moral precept upon which this country was founded," Moore told him.
-In a custody dispute in 2002, when Moore was Chief Justice of Alabama's Supreme Court, he ruled in favor of the allegedly abusive ex-husband of a woman who had since come out as a lesbian. The reason? "Homosexual behavior is crime against nature, an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies one's ability to describe it," he wrote in his opinion, concluding that one's homosexuality alone "would render him or her an unfit parent."
-”To disfavor practicing homosexuals in custody matters is not invidious discrimination, nor is it legislating personal morality. On the contrary, disfavoring practicing homosexuals in custody matters promotes the general welfare of the people of our State in accordance with our law, which is the duty of its public servants. Providing for the common good involves maintaining a public morality through both our criminal and civil codes, based upon the principles that right conscience demands, without encroaching on the jurisdiction of other institutions and the declared rights of individuals.
“The State may not interfere with the internal governing, structure, and maintenance of the family, but the protection of the family is a responsibility of the State. Custody disputes involve decision-making by the State, within the limits of its sphere of authority, in a way that preserves the fundamental family structure. The State carries the power of the sword, that is, the power to prohibit conduct with physical penalties, such as confinement and even execution. It must use that power to prevent the subversion of children toward this lifestyle, to not encourage a criminal lifestyle.”

-Roy Moore, the controversial former judge and a leading contender in Alabama’s Senate race, has said “maybe Putin is right” and “more akin to me than I know” given the Russian leader’s stance on gay marriage.
...In an interview with the Guardian’s Anywhere But Washington series, Moore also said that Ronald Reagan’s famous declaration about the Soviet Union being “the focus of evil in the modern world” might today be applied to the US.
“You could say that about America, couldn’t you?” he said. “We promote a lot of bad things.” Asked for an example, he replied: “Same-sex marriage.”
When it was pointed out to Moore that his arguments on gay rights and morality were the same as those of the Russian leader, he replied: “Well, maybe Putin is right.” He added: “Maybe he’s more akin to me than I know.”

-"My opinion is, there is a big question about that," Moore said when asked how he defines natural-born citizen as it relates to qualifications for president. CNN's KFile reviewed video from the event.
"My personal belief is that he [Obama] wasn't, but that's probably over and done in a few days, unless we get something else to come along," he added.
-“Babies piled in dumpsters, abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty, your house is on the sand.”
“We’ve voted in governments that are rotting to the core,
Appointing Godless judges who throw reason out the door.
Too soft to put a killer in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill that child before he leaves the womb.
You think that God’s not angry, that our land’s a moral slum?
How much longer will it be before His judgment comes?”

-“False religions like Islam who teach that you must worship this way are completely opposite with what our First Amendment stands for.”
-Moore criticized [Muslim Congressman Keith] Ellison’s decision to use a Quran, airing his criticism in a 2006 post on WorldNetDaily.com.
“In 1943, we would never have allowed a member of Congress to take their oath on ‘Mein Kampf,’ or someone in the 1950s to swear allegiance to the ‘Communist Manifesto,’ ” he wrote.
“Congress has the authority and should act to prohibit Ellison from taking the congressional oath today!”
In that same piece, Moore said that there’s enough evidence for Congress “to question Ellison’s qualifications to be a member of Congress” because, he wrote, Islam is “directly contrary to the principles of the Constitution.”
-Moore claimed in a summer interview that “there are some communities under Sharia law right now in our country.” Sharia law governs elements of Islamic life, and some conservatives believe it poses a threat to America’s legal system. “Up in Illinois. Christian communities,” Moore told Vox. “I don’t know if they may be Muslim communities. But Sharia law is a little different from American law. It is founded on religious concepts.” Asked which communities are under Sharia law and when that became the case, Moore said: “Well, there’s Sharia law, as I understand it, in Illinois, Indiana — up there. I don’t know.” Vox’s Jeff Stein told Moore “that seems like an amazing claim for a Senate candidate to make,” to which he replied: “Well, let me just put it this way — if they are, they are; if they’re not, they’re not. That doesn’t matter.” “I was informed that there were. But if they’re not, it doesn’t matter,” he continued. “Sharia law incorporates Muslim law into the law. That’s not what we do. We do not punish people according to the Christian precepts of our faith — so there’s a difference. I’ll just say this: I don’t know if there are. I understand that there are some.” PolitiFact rates Moore’s claim a pants-on-fire lie.
-Moore suggested that a lack of faith in God may have played a role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, as he quoted a passage from the book of Isaiah in a February speech at the Open Door Baptist Church. The passage suggests that because God’s message was rejected, sin will come like a high wall that suddenly collapses. “Sounds a little bit like the Pentagon, whose breaking came suddenly at an instance, doesn’t it?” he said. He steered attendees to a later verse that alludes to slaughters and towers falling “if you think that’s coincidence.” “You know, we’ve suffered a lot in this country,” he said. “Maybe, just maybe, because we’ve distanced ourselves from the one that has it within his hands to heal this land.” He indicated that God may be upset because “we legitimize sodomy” and “legitimize abortion.”

-"Separation of church and state was never meant to separate God and government."
-Tracking livestock is communism
In 2006, Moore condemned a proposal for a national ID system for animals as “more identifiable with communism than free enterprise”. The proposal received attention after a cow in Alabama had been diagnosed with mad cow disease. Moore, who was then running for governor, was skeptical that the outbreak was real. “I’m doubting that this story is true,” he said at the time. Instead, Moore suggested it was a ruse intended to promote the tracking system.
