God gave us the founders. And God gave us our rights (free will). And you continue to dodge the millions of instances where crimes are prevented because the American people were armed.
I agree with you, P@triot.
Loco Lakhota is too liberal to mention the fact that our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values.
While by design, neither the Constitution nor the Preamble to the Constitution include references to God, the Declaration of Independence does. It clearly states in the first paragraph that we entitled to the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle us as a nation.
In the second paragraph, it states that we are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights.
Whether the liberals and atheists among us agree or not, the Declaration of Independence was the foundation of our codes of moral, ethical and governmental standards.
Since our founding fathers wisely precluded the establishment of a national religion, they excluded references to God in the Constitution.
God and prayers have been eliminated from public (government) schools today, though both are still present in private and parochial schools. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives still open each session with a prayer. We still have a national prayer day. Presidents often take part in prayer breakfast gatherings. Politicians still profess faith in God.
For those interested, below is a link to the Declaration of Independence. It is a good read and worthy of perusal from beginning to end.
Preamble said:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
