Who in the hell is Lloyd Sheaffer?Those God-given rights? Those come from men and institutions. Leave God out of it | Lloyd SheafferThomas Jefferson and the liberal Age of Reason disagree with your fascistic nonsense.There are no god given rights, the rights we have imperfect rights made by the republicans ,only their rights are approved for everyone.
Man's natural state is to be free. It's only the evil of tyrannical governments and tribes that oppose that
freedom.
The prologue makes no mention of God or Creator or Supreme Being; in fact, the word God does not appear anywhere in the document—in no article, in no amendment, nowhere. It is We the People of the United States who confer the rights and privileges and responsibilities under which our citizenry lives.

“Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person,” although I am doubtful that security of person, which means self-protection, includes the necessity of wielding an AT-4 anti-tank weapon and two pistols while ordering a ham on nine-grain bread with tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and mayo sandwich at a Subway.

Before tagging me with the godless-secular-humanist badge and pinning it on me and my ideas, let me share some of my bona fides. I consider myself a person of faith, having been actively involved in church and other religious groups for my entire 72 years.
I have been teaching Christian education and biblical studies since I was 16. I have served in leadership and other capacities at the local, synodical, and national church levels. I have studied at a nearby Lutheran seminary. Most important, I make my personal and political decisions based upon the tenets of my Christian faith. I strive to live an evangelical—that is, spreading the Good News of the Gospel—lifestyle.
Now back to the matter at hand.
