Our rights come from God. If you don't like it, move somewhere else.

Why doesn't he give these same rights to people in every other country if that's true?

Why has God made YOU so deserving over people in let's say...North Korea?

So - First Commandment supercedes First Amendment, eh?

God gives the same rights to all people. We defend the rights that God has given us. North Korea defends whatever their leader wants.

Another one. Bideshi, should a judge follow the amendments or commandments?

That's just an appeal to authority to justify breaking with the Crown - who weirdly enough also got its right to rule from God. That God fellow sure likes to hedge his bets. That being said, you'll notice how our rights are implemented by very secular instutions, not churches.

Oh, I get it.

You consider all Christians to be lunatics. While it might apply in a few cases, I wouldn't go that far.

I wonder how they would handle those that have coveted anything of thine neighbor, failing to honor thy father and mother, baring false witness or have taken the the name of GOD in vain by breaking an oath sworn to GOD.
