Stuart,
Can you even read. How you arrived at your response from what I wrote is mind-boggling.
Point 1. That is not even remotely what I said. Please read again and more carefully. Let me give you an example of my first point. "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not steal" are bad because they are from the Bible. Yet, are they bad precepts on which to create order in a society simply because their source is of a religious nature?
Point 2. You can call "The Creator" by whatever name you want. The Founding Fathers were the product of the Judeo-Christian beliefs. The point is that rights and freedom are not bestowed upon individuals by the government.
