Since opinions are meaningless, why should anyone have one?
But have you ever seen a liberal who doesn't have an opinion? And since he has an opinion, yours must be wrong.

You might think you get your "rights" from God... but, I don't. Why would you say such an idiotic thing?
could be.. and I love your "flying pigs" avatar... that is the best ever.
If anybody gets their "RIGHTS" from God, then they must have the absolute right to impose that "right" on me.. And send me to the gallows if I don't support it.
God, these shallow, and brutal, theocratists scare me.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and
all the less important ones just never go away.
And the real pains in the ass are permanent.
Yes Gus I have read the constitution. what are you questioning.
And why?
Bush said it was just a God damn piece of paper...

Yes, our rights do come from God, but not the God of Abraham, but the God of Nature as the Declaration of Independence dictates. Remember from this God comes the law of the Balance of nature. If we are to follow this law then voluntary abortion on demand is a necessary tool to control our population growth.
Oh on Gus, yes we have read the Constitution, that is how we know that the paragraph that poetse gave us is from the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. Perhaps you should refresh your memory about that important part of history.

Who appointed you to define who, or what "our creator" is?

Did I reference Poetse's post, or it's content? Isn't that a little presumptuous on your part? Is there no mention of "rights" in the Constitution?

Fortunetly I did not have to, Jefferson did it for me.
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
The reference to the Laws of Nature and Natures God says it all.
They may have belonged to a church, but, by-and-large, they were Deists.. and that is well supported in history. I don't know why you conservative idiots keep trying to assert something that isn't true. Probably to bolster your own waffling faith. I'm not sure.
Why is it important to you anyway?
In terms of the U.S. being a "Christian" nation, it has been largely dominated by the Christian religion for its entire history. Why would you feel threatened?
Of course. Neither one of you has ever read the Constitution, which is just as well, I'm thinking...

Whatever you say, gus, if it makes you feel good, whatever you say. *chortle*

No it doesn't. There are pages and pages of letters, recorded discussion, and quotes on the subject from the founders themselves. Your presumptiveness grows to absurd proportions. Get over yourself.

Is that the same history that the revisionists have written. Or is it the one in which real scholarship was done? And how do you know the difference? You certainly disregarded the Declaration of Independence? Did you not know anything about that?
I really think you are an over-educated pseudo i=ntellectul who has a lot of information and have no idea how to assimulate it.
Are you suggesting that the United States of America is, in fact, a Christian Nation?
Suggesting? LOL! Typical arrogance from our Avalon of the North. I can picture you standing in front of your computer monitor in a full blown display of indignance. Arms akimbo and feet spread.
You've got to switch that paradigm around in your head, Jim. It's a good practice to review facts for a few minutes each day.
We're also one of the most tolerating and inclusive societies on earth thanks to our constitutional law and the embracing culture of most Christian faiths in America.
Want some examples? Hmmmm. How far back do you want to go? Nevermind.
Let's zoom back to 1970s Hawaii and the Hawaiian Lutheran rescue of Cambodians; their integration into society and business; and the total independence of their own faiths. Multiply that by hundreds of thousands of American Christian churches doing God's work over the ensuing 30 years and you just might get to see a glimmer of the true nature of America. A Christian nation that was founded by Christian pioneers and Christian statesmen. There's nothing to be ashamed about. What's the problem?
This status may ebb away eventually as socio-political forces rise and fall. At that time, hopefully, the structure of the Constitution will yet remain in tact.

Capitol Hill Blue? That's one of Bul's favorites. He probably posted it over at MyWay, Maw read it there, and ran with it.

"Yes" or "No" will work.
Jim...
Tell me, Jim, What does Carolyn's post hacve to do with Ameiica being a Christian Nation. She is refering to the lie that Capital Hill Blue told about President Bush.
Obviously you never have a clue about what you post.

I believe Bush did say it. He is that arrogant. And no Carolyn I did not read what Bul said on myway. So I couldn't have ran with it. A lie of yours I suppose?
