You want to remove the Creator part, as I quote from your post bellow:.
"-- We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness --"
Great concept, -- one that still makes perfect sense if modified as below:
'-- We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are born equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness --'

Your self assumed edit changes the original intent of a founding document.
Seems you have issues with others doing the same, but I guess it is OK, you are among the chosen ones...
For the rest of use, the majority of Americans, as well as our founders, the Creator is no "Concept"
He fired back that it works just as well without the "by our Creator" statement, that we are just simply endowed with inalienable rights.
Is it your point that we are not so endowed ?? -
-- yes we are so endowed with those rights BY OUR CREATOR, as written. You want to remove the Creator part,
Hold on there. I 'want' no such thing. -- I wrote:

No, my example, made on another thread, used by you [out of context] here on this thread for a bit of boasting, -- is a great reason this site has rules about cross-threading discussions.

Strange remark, 'chosen'. -- Not around here I'm not.
For the rest of use, the majority of Americans, as well as our founders, the Creator is no "Concept".
Never said He was. -- You need to learn how to argue rationally.
