In response to:
There's a lot of angst about Christmas and people not wanting us to celebrate, except to shop for the Holiday Season. But if you don't accept Christianity's Christmas season or Judaism' Hanukkah season, what are you celebrating...shopping?
The Judeo-Christian value system is part of the core values of the founding of America. Without it, there would be no difference between the proposed new US government and the old English regal rulers. Inalienable rights were more than an insertion but a recognition of God in our founding fathers lives.

Why do some atheists embarrass themselves year after year trying to eradicate Christmas from American culture? Why do they make themselves societal hemorrhoids during this hallowed season? Is it because they are crusaders for equality, secularism’s saviors and humanism’s heroes? I’m sure that’s what they tell themselves when they’re pouting on their couches all alone on Christmas Eve after every single one of their friends has dumped them for being a rabid jackass.
I believe, however—and I could be wrong—that the reason some rage against the machine is that they hate God and love their sin, and bringing up Jesus in...
There is no biblical reference to inalienable rights, or any rights. So giving credit to Christianity is preposterous.
I suppose you scoured the Scriptures looking for some reference.
What's truer is; people of that century were more often brought up Christian. Not many of our founding fathers had to be introduced as greenhorns to Jesus and the gospel.
And no matter what atheists think about it, inalienable rights is referenced in the Constitution. Unless you care to deny that.
I wouldn't bother for your sake. You are here as divider. Not uniting us.
Actually, I have.
"And no matter what atheists think about it, inalienable rights is referenced in the Constitution. Unless you care to deny that."
I think you mean the Declaration of Independence. I don't deny inalienable rights at all. I'm quite fond of them. I do deny they are biblical. I certainly deny they have anything to do with Catholicism.
You don't do much uniting either.
Sticks in your craw, doesn't it?
Western civilization primarily rose out of Greece and then Rome. Our belief in rights rose from a multitude of sources.
You burn there for your sins. Jesus saves you from your sins if you convert.
So, don't worry about a Bible; worry about damnation. Plenty of Bible wonks are in hell.
I will unite you to Christ; if you don't back off. It's why I confront an atheist. He'll never do himself any good; he's afraid to. Yet, in a foxhole they say he's different.
I'll bring you to Jesus. Let me worry about how. Give up the sand dune, Don. Lift up your head!
Atheists in foxholes.
Exactly. I addressed that to an atheist; donjindra.
As if you've been there to report on the natives.
Did you follow the link?
"Atheists by definition are the devil's strongest suit. He influences them." --Did you understand that, donjidra?
Links aren't necessary. Most of the time, there are no atheists in foxholes. It stands to reason.
Reason should tell a man in a foxhole to protect himself with weapons, not prayer.
There's a great documentary called "Touching the Void." It's about a mountain climber (and atheist) who rescues himself. If he had relied on prayer, he'd be dead.
