I think that we need to stop using some mythical being as a crutch.

So I'm asking do we really want God out of the Constitution!!!!
God
It has often been seen on the Internet that to find God in the Constitution, all one has to do is read it, and see how often the Framers used the words "God," or "Creator," "Jesus," or "Lord." Except for one notable instance, however, none of these words ever appears in the Constitution, neither the original nor in any of the Amendments.

The Constitution, and Bill of Rights, at its foundation, is our inalienably rights, which are given by God. The Natural law, and Common law, again at its core foundation, are God given rights, and the right of ownership, (or property rights). This is all based on the presupposition of the existence of God, (or Creator). So the movement to get God out of the Constitution, would open the door to man's law, which could legislate by decision, our inalienable rights into non existence.... (snip)

Absolutely fantastic post. Especially at this time, when we have religions trying (and sometimes successfully) to force laws that respect an establishment of religion.

Harf harf harf.

Property rights are based on the assumption that there is a god? Not sure how you figured that one out.

Actually, turning things into a bible based law structure would eliminate all of my freedom as an individual because I have a vagina. Try reading it again because I don't think you understood that part.
I do not think (We The People) want that to happen.
We the people, or you da man? Because the bible doesn't give women rights at all.
What do you think? Do you want TPTB to have that open door, to be placed under man's law. I know it seems like we are under that right now. The reason we feel that way is, we don't have the knowledge to defend our rights. If you want to know what you can do to get involved, and learn how to defend your rights check out

I like how you presented our rights as endowed by our creator.
For some people, words like "God", or worse "Jesus" are some kind of trigger words to justify regurgitating their rhetoric in perfect Pavlovian fashion.

I think that we need to stop using some mythical being as a crutch. So yes references to "god" need to be removed from our laws.

Why would an Ultimate Creator be responsible for the Laws governing property that ultimately go against all of the OTHER laws laid out by this same so-called Creator.
It is too easy to corrupt these laws, and use them against the Good of All Mankind.
