The Constitution is the document for that newly-formed government to protect those rights and to put the force of law to it...

Demonstrably false. The Declaration of Independence was passed by the Third Continental Congress, and the government of the congress was the Articles of Confederation. That government was overthrown by the Constitutuinal Convention with the state governments, about a dozen years after the Declaration.

To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla

You’re a laugh a minute... It’s a good thing people haven’t got you teaching these things in school. I would have my kids removed from any such school...

Come to think about it, I think there are a significant number of parents who have done that very thing for people removing the idea about part that our Creator God has played in the formation of our country and how the founding fathers considered God in all these things and how He helped in the formation of this country.

It would certainly be people like you with those kinds of aberrant ideas about the nature of the Declaration of Independence and what it means for our unalienable rights and what the significance of it is, in terms of these rights being granted by our Creator God and not by any human government — in that these rights are to be protected by our Constitution — that cause parents to remove their kids from any form of these aberrant teachings in schools.

All I can say is that I’m glad I don’t have the opportunity of ever knowing you in person...

Regards,
Star Traveler
