The whole idea of "God-given" freedom is goofy. According to the standard biblical theology, "freedom" from the dictatorial Paradise is the result of Adam and Eve's original sin. Or if one is inclined to extra-biblical Christian beliefs, due to the rebellion of Satan among the Angels.
Unless of course one is a Deist...
Here is your abbreviated lesson on the Bible:
There are dolts who follow dictums of the French Revolution, replacing religion and morality with science and reason.
Such has proven to be far more than an unmitigated failure: it resulted in the millions upon millions slaughtered by communists, fascists, Nazis.....
Reason supports a lot of things, as for example, a very liberal position on abortion. If there is no God, "Love your neighbor as yourself" is just a good idea. That's why it is written, incidentally, in Leviticus, "Love your neighbor as yourself, I am God." I, God, tell you to be decent to other people.

I bet you haven't even read the Bible![]()
Please don't expect me to educate you on religion on a daily basis.
Perhaps more on Sunday.
More appropriate in this thread......
There are two choices:
a. That of the Founders, individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government, via the Constitution.
b. Leftists.....communists, Liberals,Progressives, whatever, offer the following:
collectivization, unquestioning lock-step adherence to government policies, over-regulation, and unlimited central command and control governance.....'
You pick.[/QUOTE
When has the United States ever had free markets?
