A judge refused to delay a trial Tuesday when an attorney objected to his wearing a judicial robe with the Ten Commandments embroidered on the front in gold.

Circuit Judge Ashley McKathan showed up Monday at his Covington County courtroom in southern Alabama wearing the robe. Attorneys who try cases at the courthouse said they had not seen him wearing it before. The commandments were described as being big enough to read by anyone near the judge.

Who cares. If he wants to were a robe that says
the ten commandments so be it. Thats like judging
a hindo because of there clothing.Thats like
someone judging you because you wore a suit to
work.
Does it matter!

So many people make a big deal against God, why has He done anything against them? Why don't people do the same to the other religions. Atheist just have it out for christians and other relious group alike. Specifivally why is Christianity so offensive?
I think that Christianity defines absoluets, and people are scared to lose their freedom!

Thats going to the other extreme does it matter, were angry that he is being persecuted for NOT wearing the robes. That is his choice not the state. Thats like saying you have to wear the five noble truths of Buddha on your robe.
