There is if you feel it necessary to remove God from conservatism. If not natural rights granted by the Creator as a starting point, then what?

I said no such thing. Why don't you read what I wrote HERE in my letter to the principal of the school about which the article was written?

Further, it is entirely clear that you have no understanding of why unalienable rights, as endowed by a Creator are so important TO YOU. The construct means that government has no legitimate authority or power to violate those rights. It is a concept so important that, if there wasn't a Creator, we'd be best off maintaining whatever pretense necessary that there was. Your disrespect fot that idea not only reveals your lack of education or qualification for your post, but an equal lack of appreciation for the freedoms you enjoy as a citizen.

You will note that I talked about "a Creator" as a logical construct, in essence, a proof that the authority of Natural Law is a practical necessity. I did so without need to cite the authority of a God belonging to any particular church denomination.

In the quote to which you made objection, you apparently hadn't considered its antecedant. I was making the point that when dealing with liberals one can make such arguments to greater effect by use of such logical constructs rather than by making citations to "Almighty God..." per se. It makes them think instead of putting them off with by flogging them with religion.
