    Sounds more like the 44th president than the second.

    What was your intent then?

Do your research and you'll see that our Bill of Rights is rooted in Native American Iroquois law and tradition. Nowhere in history was everything in the Bill of Rights used as a source of governance, not even the Magna Carta.
    You would be incorrect. Western society is indeed based on Judeo-Christianity. Everything we believe regarding right and wrong has its basis in Judeo-Christianity. We are steeped in it from birth, and history proves it at every turn.

    Only non-believers, who believe in non-believing, think otherwise.

    Our Constitutional Rights are endowed upon us by our "Creator". The term is used solely as a means to not specify a religion and to ensure no one "Church" has a step up on others by being mentioned. The "Creator", regardless religion, is singular and a supreme being. That spells "God" to me. You can call him what you like, but it is the same supreme being.

    Without getting into reading all the lengthy posts/replies...

    This is being fought locally - legally. Kind of.

    One of the guys I helped campaign for local state representative is leading the lawsuit. The only problem is that no churches surrounding the area want to enter in as the plaintiff. There is an attorney who has several MN Supreme Court civil rights wins under his belt who will represent. Just gotta get at least one church on board. They are too timid and scared from what Don tells me.
