"Our Liberties come from GOD not man!"

The 1st Commandment says: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"

How does that square with the Constitution which says we the people can believe in ANY god we want to (not just the christian god!) or not to believe in any god at all if we so choose.? WE......THE.......PEOPLE do not have to be forced to believe in or worship the CHRISTIAN god or any god. FREEDOM OF.......and FREEDOM FROM. "NEUTRAL". EQUALITY.

"At 59 and a graduate with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Intelligence Studies at Fort Huachuca and an Aviation Vietnam vet 68/71 and educated in Catholic schools K-12. "

I don't give a damn what your Ed degrees are, or your experience. You're IGNORANT when it comes to American History, and the Founding , the formation of our countries Constitution. And you're ignorant as hell about the ACLU.

'People came to America to rid themselves of a Government that imposed religion..."

YES! that is why the framers created a NEUTRAL, a secular Constitution.

And YOU are dead wrong when you said: " and who FORBID religion!" because you're only partially right. You see, the people were only allowed to practice ONE religion (CHRISTIAN) and it HAD TO BE THEIR WAY.

"establishment of the US was under the Judeo Christian Philosophy! "

THEN how come there is NO mention of the CHRISTIAN god in our Constitution, or ANY of our Laws? The Bible is the exact opposite of our Constitution; the very ANTITHISIS of the barbaric bible!

"THE ACLU FIGHTS THIS AT EVERY LEVEL of our society! "

You're woefully ignorant. I know damn well you have never gone to their website and READ , found out for YOURSELF what they do, what they stand for. What they fight against is the religious nutters who ONLY want THEIR god, THEIR religion, and THEIR brand taught, and plastered all over everything and everywhere and on PUBLIC & GOVERMENT property at that!

"....the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them,..."

You have NO idea what laws of "NATURE" and "NATURE'S " God means. Get an education on Deism. Here is a clue: They were not talking about the christian god!! The founders were mostly deists.

Our Liberties come from GOD not man!

that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

THE ACLU FIGHTS THIS AT EVERY LEVEL of our society!

[RURIGHT]

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

[RURIGHT]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

[RURIGHT]

The framers wrote the Constitution as a secular document . NO THEY DIDN'T!!

The establishment of the US was under the Judeo Christian Philosophy!
