All our rights come from a Creator and not man. Only He can take the rights but if you believe they came from man, then man can take from you and that is a dangerous belief.
“tell a lied often enough and it will become the truth” applies.
Ask the men who made the revolution, they’ll tell you otherwise.
The only reason for a pluralistic society is our Judeo-Christian heritage. Look at the Left and anywhere in the world not sharing that perspective… differing ideas are not tolerated. The Left flourishes here because we are the tolerant ones.
...Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other...
To your point, see my reply #6. :-)
It was in the heart of our founders, and perpetrated throughout our history, that God would be a primary source of Americanism.
I counsel young’uns brainwashed by publik skrewling into thinking the Founding Fathers sucked to read what they wrote.
The ones who’ve done so have changed their minds.
Of course we’re a Christian nation. Name another religious figure whose birthday is a national holiday.
“She’s fine with the “Thou shalt not kill” part, she states, but chafes at the “jealous God” part.“
This is the very driving force in leftist God-hate, that GOD has the final word NOT themselves. It’s funny that people will bow and scrape before others who have done big things and become rich but the Author of Time and our universe they meanly begrudge. These insignificant blobs of water and some chemicals have a rude awakening coming. A being as significant as God has every right to demand and get His props. They resent that to hell and back. This self aggrandizement is what make them the most accomplished murders in history.
I compiled the Babylon keyword while looking for something historical, and found a selection of FRchival material, the top section is from Babylon Bee::
Actually, many of the Founding Fathers were Diests, but not necessarily Christian. They certainly refer to God often but there are few references to Jesus.
Relevant sections of the U.S. Constitution:
First Amendment: Protects freedom of speech, religion, assembly, press, and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
Fifth Amendment: Protects against self-incrimination and double jeopardy, and guarantees due process of law.
Fourteenth Amendment: Guarantees equal protection under the law and prohibits states from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
Just to mess with folks, use the term “Abrahamic.”
It all goes back to him.
There were several founding fathers concerned with replicating or creating a state religion so they avoided tying to a denomination and were NOT Christian. Personally, I would characterize our founding on Judeo-Christian values and that these rights come from Him and not man.
Doesn't matter what they were. They represented States that were explicitly Christian.
They certainly refer to God often but there are few references to Jesus.
There are two important references to Jesus in the US Constitution.
The part where they exempt the President from working on Sundays, and the part at the very end where it says "YEAR OF OUR LORD."
When America became a nation it was a Culturally Christian Nation. King George III said his worst enemies during the Revolution were the “black Robed” clerics(Presbyterian) in the Colonies.
John Adams,who was what would be called Unitarians today, said “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other,”
I see no reason why a Bible should not be included in classrooms to show where that Culturally Christian concept came from.

Conservatives are playing into the hands of the Left by trying to defend religion on secular, cultural terms. People are defending opposition to abortion on the grounds that one doesn't need to believe in G-d to oppose abortion. This is a travesty. The whole point of opposing abortion is to submit to Divine Law. The only grounds on which to adhere to or oppose any religion is Theological.
