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.

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.

False religions like Islam who teach that you must worship this way, are completely opposite with what our First Amendment stands for.

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.

Without God there would be no freedom to believe what you want.

If they want to get [my statue of] the Commandments, they're going to have to get me first.

There is no such thing as evolution.
