Clearly some of us are familiar with the history of the Declaration and Constitution...some just read web blog talking points.
You can always tell a liberal by the debating technique...attack the person who supposedly represents the idea, not the ideas or ideals themselves.
Which elements of Judaeo-Christian's values do you specifically dislike? Self sufficiency, hard work, charity, telling the truth, non-covetousness, honoring parents, respecting other peoples property?
Slavery was and is wrong...which is why Christians led the charge to abolish it.
You seem to be missing the main point of the argument which is that God is the source of the rights...not government.
By the way, who are you suggesting is wanting to impose Christianity on anyone. No one, at least on this on this blog has suggested imposing Christianity upon anyone...and I would suggest most of us who are Christians believe in free will...it is your choice whether or not to believe (another of the rights given by God.)
Regardless, a moral society does not believe in:
- murder
- lying
- assault
- theft
- forced income redistribution (by the way, the founders did not believe there should be an income tax)
Evangelicals and other Christians, Jews, and Muslims, have by in large have sat idle by while moral equivocators and elitists seem to think they have a superior knowledge of right and wrong. Now they are tired of it.
And yes, as we see in the headlines every day, many Evangelical and other Church leaders are deeply flawed...which is why for many of use we read the Bible to see what was originally intended. For the same reason, I like to read the Federalist Papers and other historical documents to see what was originally intended.
BF, some of your point are well taken...some are simply ludicrous. For example, who are you or the government to tell anyone who they should work for. If I own a business, and I do, it is my choice who I work for and who I don't. By the way the Supreme Court just ruled, albeit limited, that is my right.
I suggest you turn off PMSNBC and actually read the Constitution and the Federalist Papers to get an understanding by what was intended, and not intended, in the Constitution Drafting.
Further, please dispense of the red herring that somehow Evangelicals are forcing you to convert. If you want to see real forced conversion, move to a country where only one religion (or no religion) can be practiced.
