Is this file safe backhoe?
'Scuse me if I hesitate to download a file to my computer on the say-so of someone who signed up day before yesterday, and from a site named jonathangullible.com no less.
I checked it out. It's safe, but not worth downloading. It defines liberty as "self ownership" - a poor view of the Truth. Liberty is "self stewardship", reflecting the Truth that each one of us is owned by our Creator.
I'll check out your link. Here is another good one:

Right, but we are not owned by Government. We need to answer to our creator, not government for our actions and government must not attempt to legislate what 'self stewardship' is defined as. If it does, IMO, it is a break between the seperation of Church and State as government is taking over duties that belong in the hands of God. We do own our bodies, but answer to our maker, God, as to what we do with them.
This is a secular view that actually coincides with Christian doctrine, if that's what you're referring to. The American people at large would agree with this because of its secular orientation.
