[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s dangerous for people to believe that other people grant rights. In the United States rights were are granted by God and no person has the moral standing to remove them. [/quote]

Wanna know how I know you're a troll pretending to be someone very stupid?

[b]Because there is no mention of a god in the constitution and every grammar school kid is taught that.[/b]

You are correct.  But God is clearly referenced in the Declaration of Independence as are the inalienable rights granted to everyone.  The constitution is the new governmental framework that protects those inalienable rights.  [/quote]

No, that’s not how it works.  There are no rights bestowed by the DOI and no case law citing them.  The constitution rules.

Also, the DOI, written by deist and non-supernaturalist Thomas Jefferson, first mentions “the laws of nature” and then adds “and nature’s god”.

So, fail.  Definitely no Christianity /Jesus/Old Testament reference.  Gosh, I wonder why they didn’t put that in there if that is what they meant?[/quote]
