Now, try to use your noggin --- you had already admitted that the founders were largely Christian -- so whose God do you think they were talking about?

The same people who you claim wanted God out of government invoked that same God in declaring why we were rebelling against England. You can't have it both ways JimL.

I understand that they were mostly religious men who, like you, believe we are created by a god, not born of nature, but it's irrelevant to the main point.
Their main point was that under this government we are all born with the same rights regardless of religious preference, or whether we believe in god or not..
And, while we're at it, there is no evidence whatsoever that they did NOT mean "the Judeo-Christian" God.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostEven from a purely evolutionary perspective we can see that in mammals, the urge to protect and nurture the young is very powerful in most females of the species. That there are typically emotional elements associated with killing your own that are going to affect women in ways men are not going to understand is not at all unexpected. And I think CP, seer, others have observed that, and I think that it is not at all uncommon for a woman that has had an abortion to have deep and long lasting regrets. And it is something that should not be ignored, or kept hidden as a possible consequence, when counseling a woman faced with an unexpected or unwanted pregnancy.

Yes, CREATED -- by a CREATOR. Maybe you're getting it.
No, that was NOT the "main point" - that was one of MANY points, and they ALSO believed in the blessings of this God in the form of "Divine Providence".

Originally posted by JimL View PostI think every woman is different and are effected differently. It depends on the woman. No doubt some may regret in the future the decision they made, but most are fully aware of the choice they are making and don't look at it as killing a baby. I know, that's how you and the anti-abortion side see it, but they don't see it that way which is why your side is always trying to convince them. If they agreed with you, then they probably wouldn't be having the procedure done in the first place.
After all, there is no attempt by the abortionist to educate her to the down side of abortion.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by JimL View PostBorn with the same rights, Sparko. Read and understand the context. It's true that the Founders, most of them at least, believed in god, but that's irrelevant to the point being made. The point is that we are all born with the same rights, the right to life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.
Irrelevant to the point. The point is that their intent was to build a wall between government and religion. Now, I know you all disagree with that and, like some Muslim countries, would like to be ruled by a Christian theocracy. But that's exactly what the Founders didn't want.

The Dansbury Baptist Association was not concerned about "Christianity" in general, but the particular sect of the founders of the colony - the denomination. Jefferson assured them that there would not be a "state church" (as in a particular denomination) but you can tell by his "churchy language" (I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.) that he was NOT shutting down "God in general".
You'll probably need to cogitate on that a bit.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
