Why Did the Founding Fathers Say Our Rights Come from God?

yes NATURAL RIGHTS FOR ALL-----Jefferson may have slept around----and
INDULGED HIMSELF------but he was a good writer
 
A: Because if your Rights come from a government then that means the government can take them away.

The Founding Fathers were all about limiting the power of government.

Not all the founding fathers wanted to limit government.

Right now tramp has taken many rights away. You are right.

What rights comes from God??

All of the Founding Fathers wanted limited government. The Confederacy they created was a pinnacle in limited government.

Because from God is where the ethos of our founding documents and philosophy of government derive. Logos is overarching code of moral behaviors derived from God which never change, are ancient and eternal. And every idiot who visits this thread to denounce your OP ought to be damn grateful our Founding Fathers were men of God. What most Americans are unaware of is the constant attack by postmodernists on our founding documents to deconstruct and re-interpret them to fit their ideology, which is also an atheist faith at its core, and trust us, no one wants to live under (or rather die) under an atheist regime.

Those God fearing folks sure liked war, but I am sure God turned a blind eye to it since it was done by God fearing humans...
 
"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."

The only mention of a supernatural being in our founding document is as a placeholder in time.

They had no other options than limited government

Our nation was poor and based on an agrarian economy. The states were widely dispersed with few roads connecting isolated areas. A strong, centralized government was not an option

Note no claim of TAKING or GRANTING of Rights.
 
Jefferson expressed his views to adapt to whatever issues and parties were extant for the day. He was first a politician, a patrician one at that, and didn't have an egalitarian bone in his body, so when running around citing him be aware he didn't think most people should be allowed to vote at all, and his use of the terms free citizens' didn't match the modern fantasy versions of that.
