Tom DeLay: God 'wrote the Constitution'
San Antonio Express-News ^ | February 21, 2014 | Kolten Parker

SAN ANTONIO — God must have had one heck of a powdered wig, or former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay would have made a lousy history teacher.

The Sugar Land Republican made news this week when he voiced his concern that the government is becoming secular because "we stopped realizing that God created this nation, that he wrote the Constitution, that it's based on biblical principles" during a recent television appearance with San Antonio Pastor Matt Hagee.

James Madison, the lead author of the United States Constitution and the fourth president of the United States who died in 1836, could not be reached for comment.

And you, You have permission to go to Heaven or not.

Choose wisely.

There is no evidence of heaven or hell.

If there is a choice, I would prefer not to spend eternity in heaven with my dead relatives; so I guess hell is a better place, Well, at least there is purported to be better music there.

The truth is often obscured by surrounding falsehoods and forgeries. The ability to find truth defines itself.

What's MY point ?

You said;
"Because all of them are constructs of humans who found it necessary to somehow explain a reason for their existence"

And I asked for your reason for existence and you explained to me and everyone reading, that you're the result of an animal act

That may explain HOW you got here, but does not explain the REASON FOR YOUR EXISTENCE

You've already determined we whom are believers in God have OUR "reason" (you don't agree but it is not germane to "my point" ) which, if left alone, is one sided at best.

Why are you here ?

I was born a human as a result of a sexual act by two other humans.

Why are you here?
