Homosexual behavior is a ground for divorce, an act of sexual misconduct punishable as a crime in Alabama, a crime against nature, an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies one's ability to describe it. The homosexual conduct of a parent - conduct involving a sexual relationship between two persons of the same gender - creates a strong presumption of unfitness that alone is sufficient justification for denying that parent custody.
Roy Moore
5.
You wonder why we're having shootings and killings here in 2017? Because we've asked for it. We've taken prayer out of school.
Roy Moore
6.
The basic premise of the Constitution was a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances because man was perceived as a fallen creature and would always yearn for more power.
Roy Moore
7.
Anytime you deny the acknowledgement of God you are undermining the entire basis for which our country exists.
Roy Moore

I must acknowledge God. It says so in the Constitution of Alabama. It says so in the First Amendment of the Constitution.
Roy Moore

There is no such thing as evolution.
Roy Moore
12.
We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core, Appointing Godless Judges who throw reason out the door, Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb, But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb.
Roy Moore
13.
To restore morality we must first recognize the source from which all morality springs. From our earliest history in 1776 when we were declared to be the United States of America, our forefathers recognized the sovereignty of God.
Roy Moore
14.
I feel that I'm sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Alabama, and those constitutions are founded upon a fundamental belief in God ... my display of the Ten Commandments and prayer before sessions are simply acknowledgments of God.
Roy Moore
15.
Worship With Your Vote.
Roy Moore
16.
False religions like Islam who teach that you must worship this way, are completely opposite with what our First Amendment stands for.
Roy Moore

Now we have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting.

The monument serves to remind the appellate courts and judges of the circuit and district courts of this state and members of the bar who appear before them as well as the people of Alabama who visit the Alabama Judicial Building of the truth stated in the preamble of the Alabama Constitution, that in order to establish justice we must invoke the favor and guidance of Almighty God.
Roy Moore
20.
Acknowledgment of God is not now, or ever has been, a violation of the US constitution.
Roy Moore
21.
Without God there would be no freedom to believe what you want.
Roy Moore
22.
I consider it my duty to acknowledge God. To take down the Ten Commandments and to stop holding prayer would be a violation of that duty. I will not take down the Ten Commandments and I will not stop holding prayer.
Roy Moore
23.
Indeed, the acknowledgement of God is not synonymous with religion.
Roy Moore
24.
And government's only role is to secure our rights for us.
Roy Moore

But I have made no plans to run for any office right now.
Roy Moore
26.
I was asked three times directly in the hearing before the board of the judiciary whether or not I would continue to acknowledge God if I were to resume my position as chief justice. And I said I would.
Roy Moore
27.
All the Ten Commandments and prayer is an acknowledgement of the Almighty God. We will not back down from that.
Roy Moore
28.
They might object to some of my opinions, but they don't object to my behavior as a judge.
Roy Moore
29.
The whole basis of the Constitution was a restriction of power, and the whole basis of the federalist system was that there was not one sovereign centralized power from which all authority flows.
Roy Moore
30.
But in the long term, I think it is improper to limit your future.
Roy Moore
31.
America promotes a lot of bad things, you know. Same-sex marriage, for example.
Roy Moore
32.
America the Beautiful, or so you used to be,
Land of the Pilgrims' pride, I'm glad they're not here to see,
Babies piled in dumpsters, abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty, your house is on the sand.
Roy Moore
33.
God has chosen this time and this place so we can save our country and save our courts for our children
Roy Moore
34.
It can have a secular purpose and have a relationship to God because God was presumed to be both over the state and the church, and separation of church and state was never meant to separate God from government.
Roy Moore
35.
If they want to get [my statue of] the Commandments, they're going to have to get me first.
Roy Moore
36.
Power's not what the Constitution was about.
Roy Moore
37.
If you're here tonight to support me, you shouldn't be here. This is not about me. This is about something far more important. It transcends race, it transcends politics, it transcends gender. This is about the laws of God.
Roy Moore
38.
That's not the federal law. What you're confusing is law with the opinion of a justice, what one lone federal judge says is not law.
Roy Moore
