Nothing is safe/sacred from the morons...

Who, for instance? GW, nope. TJ, nope. BF, perhaps. JA, nope. JM, nope. I'm too lazy to research the signers of the DoI....I will grant you that in their day it was very difficult to be anti-religious so it may be difficult to do proper research.

 

Again - the DoI has nothing to do with our system of government.

The Constitution. The Bill of Rights. Those are the documents that our government is built upon.

The DoI, Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers are the scratch pads the brainstorming happened on and have no legal standing.

You may want to do a bit more reading on the men you listed...

 

They're different people?

 

Yeah. One allows pictures.

 

I thought it was the same person with different BS background stories.

 

Maybe that’s why there’s no pics allowed of Allah ... plausible deniability????

 

More than a few of the Founding Fathers were Unitarians.

 

You have no clue what natural law or laws of nature. Now, that is funny.

 

"As our forefathers sought to build "one nation under God," they purposely established their legal codes on the foundation of Natural Law. They believed that societies should be governed, as Jefferson put it, by "the moral law to which man has been subjected by his Creator, and of which his feelings, or conscience as it is sometimes called, are the evidence with which his Creator has furnished him. The moral duties which exist between individual and individual in a state of nature accompany them into a state of society,... their Maker not having released them from those duties on their forming themselves into a nation." (Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 3:228) Throughout the first century of US. history, natural law was upheld as a key principle of government by the American people and their leader, not only by Presidents and the Congress, but also by the Supreme Court. In the view of the Court, its members were to decide cases by exercising "that understanding which Providence has bestowed upon them." (Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. 1, 186-87, 1824). Since the laws they adjudicated were based on "the preexisting and higher authority of the laws of nature," (The West River Bridge Company v. Joseph Dix, 47 U.S. 507, 532, 1848), they relied less on judicial precedent than on "eternal justice as it comes from intelligence... to guide the conscience of the Court." (Rhode Island v. Massachusetts, 39 U.S. 210, 225, 1840)."

The majority of the founding father didn't write the constitution.

 

So, umm, where is that “God” defined as the God of Judeo-Christianity?

Keep digging...

 

Well, I am happy with the ruling. It’s just interesting to hear the two sides of it etc.

 

Washington placed his hand on a bible when he assumed office...early enough for you? I believe the" ....so help me God" was handed down from English law. As far as the Chaplain saying a prayer at the start of Congress I'd be very surprised if that was a 20th century thing.
