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.
You Libert's. are so utterly thick headed and clueless when it comes to understanding why America works!
Typical, - unable to cite the 'Truths' requested, - you make a personal attack and launch into a sermon.
It's not about the form of gov't that makes America work, it the acknowledgement foremost that ALL MEN are created equal by a CREATOR!
I have no problem with belief in a Creator. Nor does our Constitution. You are belaboring the obvious in an attempt to gloss over the fact that there is no "Gods truth" incorporated within our Constitution.
Which is the underlying theme for our law! Because the Declaration acknowledges men don't give enaliable rights, but God does, leads into the whole basis for our form of constitutional gov't. Why do you think the ten commandements are listed on the veranda of the supreme court and are plaqued in many courtrooms in this land?
Because 'We the People' respect the concepts of religions, but forbid their establishments being enabled in our laws.
It's not about acknowledging a religion, it's about acknowledging the idea that MEN are given their rights by someone other than man and we will always adhere to that standard.
Who gets to define the rights "given" by which of mans Gods? Your concept of a "standard" is ludicrous.
Because a certain religion is bound by that same concept probably is how the founders established this great idea! Freedom of speech: Freedom of religion are directly connected to God's Truth. God gives FREE WILL, not man and that is what establishes the idea to form the basis of the Constitution. The idea that no "MAN" can have single rule over another (Monarchy) and the people are FREE to persue happiness. I realize this is DOI material, but it is the foundation of our constitutional law.
Again, you are belaboring the obvious, probably in an attempt to gloss over the fact that there is no "Gods truth" incorporated within our Constitution.
The theme is quite evident to all that want to take the time to study history.
You aren't teaching anyone history. You are sermonizing.
The constitution is set up in a way which "Acknowledges" God precepts, because they are great, but does not establish men follow a certain religion or have to adhere to it's tenants. Especially the ones from which these "Truths" were derived to form the Republic.
Which is more or less what I've been posting all along. - Which you admit here:
However, even though history shows our foundation to be based [partially] 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.
Thanks for conceding that each individual is free to acknowledge his own version of how rights are established. -
