re: #218 MandyManners

Mandy, God is absolutely not mentioned. Not. The. Point. The revolutionary thing about America is that we were the first to say that rights originated from the virtue of being human. Some would say they were endowed to us by our creator. Thats the problem with the godless left, rights to them are easements granted by the state, if there is no higher power than rights are given by the people and can thus be taken away by the people. We should be embracing the christian community and reminding them where our rights come from, including the right to worship or not worship as one sees fit. Is Intelligent design lunacy? Yes, but it is a problem of interpretation, not with the religion. St. Thomas Aquinas himself noted that where science and theology diverge, the problem lies not with science but with our interpretation of theology. Christians understand (or can be reasoned with enough to understand) individual rights, they can and should be on our side, but ridicule and and disdain toward them helps nothing. Some people show as much disdain for christians as the Elite left show.
