The idea of America can not and will not survive without acknowledging God and his morale code.

Which, of the thousands of Gods worshiped by humans since the dawn of time whould that be?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of LAND.

This is how the original DOI was written. "Happiness" replaced this because the founders recognized that was the ultimate goal of a free people. This is important because it shows the concept of how they thought about what being FREE meant. Most of our founders acknowledged the Judeo/Christian God because the precepts of his word were exactly in tune with this IDEA OF FREEDOM!

All the precepts of the Christian God lead to FREE WILL with accountability.

The OBVIOUS interwoven thread throughout our establishment and laws is to "acknowledge" the giver of freedom (God) and why no "man" has ultimate power over another unless it is "given!"

However, eventhough history shows our foundation to be based on the precepts of the Judeo/Christian God it does not "establish" the Christian God as the only giver of rights, it establishes each "individuals" God, whomever the indiviual may acknowledge.
