Well, that’s enlightening, being declared nuts for actually believing the founding fathers in that our Creator God has granted us these certain unalienable rights and actually thinking that they were forming a government to protect those same unalienable rights... Yes, what a crazy idea all right... LOL!

Well, you obviously haven’t been reading what that Creator God that the founding fathers referred to, has been saying in the Bible, then — have you?

If you had, you would know that...

Oh no don’t be offended, I’m very impressed that you have all these other members actually trying to have dialogue with you, when you’re an obvious loon. Very entertaining.

I think you are confused.

There are earthly things and there are heavenly things.

You cannot expect mans gov to rise to the level of heaven.

Rest well. I need sleep

How about the good book, the one that the founding fathers used in their prayers and supplications to that Creator God that they referred to... That’s a good place to start, since the founding fathers specifically referred to that same Creator God as instrumental in helping them found such a country as we have now.

How about a history book, or a book on constitutional law? How about something, anything, that would teach you when and how the United States of America was founded?

You’re embarrassing yourself.

Then I’ve been incoherent from the beginning for even thinking that the founding fathers were correct in attributing those certain unalienable rights to our Creator God, which no government on earth could minimize, change or take away.

Come to think about it, they must have been incoherent, too — which was why they went to war in the first place... LOL!

He said he wants to overturn Roe v. Wade so the states can decide. I believe this is credible because his voting record on abortion was 100% consistent with this in the Senate.

Sincerely, TJ, do you understand the definition of “criminalize?” Many things are illegal and subject to huge penalties, but are not “criminal” (i.e., imprisonable) offenses.

I’m not at all embarrassed, in the least, for knowing what the founding fathers said was true (even if many people today no longer believe them). I do believe exactly as they did, that our Creator God has endowed us with certain unalienable rights and that our government is formed to protect those rights (and not minimize, change or take away from them).

Sorry to disappoint you...

Following on with Petronski’s very appropriate suggestion that you crack a book, let me suggest that if you really want to understand something about our Constitution and our federal form of government (formed just as you suggest to protect our God-given liberties), and to understand something of the concerns and intentions of the Founders as they struggled to craft a form of government that might actually achieve that goal in the real world, start with The Federalist Papers, by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay.

Take a chance, educate yourself.

A crime is something illegal. A criminal is one who breaks the law.

Only in the sense that ignorance is dangerous.

You said — “You cannot expect mans gov to rise to the level of heaven.”

I’m not confused on the matter, even if you think so. I understand the nature of mankind, in its sinful condition (which God’s word makes abundantly clear) and so did the founding fathers (from that same Word of God), which is why they designed certain things in our government the way they did.

Now, while mankind cannot bring its affairs up to the level of Heaven, we are told in the Bible that Heaven is going to bring its affairs down to the earth, where mankind lives. This is specifically called the “Kingdom of God” and it’s associated with the Millennial Reign of Christ *on this earth* (”as it is in Heaven”, as in the Lord’s prayer). So, we will see this coming soon.

And, as such, it will be earthly things with Heavenly things, one and the same — at that time. And I’m not talking about “in the by and by” — but rather — in the near term, because that’s not too far away, right now.

Regards,
Star Traveler

tailgunner I think you are absolutely right. Federalism is an ideal but it is not a religion. Terri or anyone else should not be sacrificed to death to appease the federalist gods. We have a moral obligation to do whatever it takes to save lives even if that involves the federal govt taking over.

That reminds me of something I heard about someone seeing a friend’s new baby and they thought to themselves, “My, my..., that’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen in my life”, but of course they were not going to say that. So, about all they could say was, “Yep, that’s a baby all right!” LOL!

So, yep... “genuine” huh?

LOL!
