Nevertheless they all signed it and therefore gave their consent to the wording, which has no Christ, no triune God or even the word God in it. It's a deist document. It's not a Christian document. Period.

Well jeepers, kosta, if all you care about is wording, then how do you plan to successfully communicate with people who take their cues and clues directly from real experience, and from historical knowledge?

Experience is primary. Words can only be descriptive of that primary. And we hope their use corresponds directly with that primary, so as to fully convey its meaning, its truth.

Otherwise, what is the point of human language?

I don't know/ What's the meaning of life? Nice diversionary move, betty boop.
