But read the Atlantic article. Moore did this because he believes that the law is brought to us by God, and upgraded his Commandments from a wooden plaque to a big fuckin' piece of granite precisely because he wanted to fight about it.

Sounds like the right call. I think our rights come from a higher power, but laws? I hate to think that my traffic fines are determined by God.
