Why are you ignoring the simple self-evident fact that if our rights come from the Creator, we had to have had one?

I'm not. I'm addressing the more important issue of you twisting the words of Jefferson for your own selfish reasons. You know you're doing it. The word you chose to leave off, "equal", is the operative word in that sentence. "All men are created" has a completely different meaning than "All men are created equal". Jefferson was pointing out the equality of men. This was the self-evident truth to which he refered. You are fixated (as all zealots are) on pushing your agenda, and (again, like all good zealots) believe that you can do no wrong in the service of that agenda.

"Hi, my name is EternalVigilance, and I'm a quote-minaholic". Admit you have a problem, EV. It's the first step.
