"In any event, even if we indulge your erroneous assumption that the Declaration of Independence is the foundational document of our union the fact that it uses the term Creator don't make it so for it presupposes that there is a Creator up there who is concerned with us. And never said the country wasn't founded on Judeo-Christian principles"--Tanvat
let's break that down using quotes from the Declaration to see just how wrong you are
now of course, you've at least admitted Creator was in there, that's good you've possibly read the first few lines.
now I think you were making some erroneous argument that my argument presupposes there is a Creator up there that is concerned with us.
well let's look at what Jefferson wrote in the Declaration to see how your argument fleshes out.
let's see oh there it is at the end
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
what did he mean by Divine Providence? I'm sure you can figure that one out. Obviously you like less taxes and less spending so you're not an ignorant beast, though your denial of this country's founding does place you in the stupid column since it's been pointed out to you and yet you refuse to accept it.
you know they also appealed to the "Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions."
gosh that just sounds a lot like some guys were praying when they made this decision, it more than sounds like that, they were praying and they mentioned it right there in the Declaration, they must have believed the Creator was up there paying attention.
