Because it's obvious & needs no further explanation?

I "clearly" told you all that, in the History lesson post there, but all youBobby Hogg said:It can't be that obvious if I am asking what it means and no one appears to be able to explain it.
You're making more out of this than it needs to be. Really indicative of what this dispute is, I suppose. Yet another political partisan football, with no one really sure what they're debating. You want it kept, they want it gone. Who knows why?
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.

Believing in God isn't enough, either. What do you do to live out Christ's word? The God of the Hebrews and of Jesus Christ is inescapably socialist in nature, for example.

Gato_Solo said:Ahhh...so you believe in God, but do not trust in God. Interesting...because one requires the other.
