Haiku Hogan's Shit List

Try reading The Constitution and The Bill of Rights and comprehending it.


I comprehend it just fine. Rights are given to you by your government, regardless of your religion. Not everybody believes in the same God. It's pure selfishness and ignorance on your part to determine that YOUR God gives everybody rights EVERYWHERE.
 
I think Natural Selection is a troll. He's definitely either a troll or suffering from some sort of psychological disorder like mania or schizophrenia.

Notice the bold.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

That's assuming that God = Creator. There are atheists, who would have NO creator (by your standards, at least). Who gives them their "God" given rights?

You know who, their parents those who actually CREATED them. God or any other deity didn't have shit to do with it.
 
I think you really don't comprehend the use of God as a literary device, especially during the Colonial Era.


That, or you are a troll. In which case, I'm kinda pissed I fell for it
 
It would be a pretty brilliant troll act. Everybody hates a conspiracy theorist.

Doug Crashin' is just an idiot, though, so don't worry about that.

I would surrender my crown as best gimmick.

Crashin, oh, I have something to cook his goose right good

He equated Creator to God, and that is putting a religious angle on something that has nothing to do with actual religion.

The Bill of Rights more implies that you are given a certain set of rights just by being born as an American citizen. Far too many people, including Mr. Selection, take the meaning of the words God and Creator far, far too literally when used in the context of early United States government.

It's not the bible, it was meant literally.

In early US government, our forefathers were trying to stay away from organized religion as possible. You know, that whole separation of church and state thing, and leaving England because of an oppressive religious government and what have you. The use of the words Creator and God were very broad and non-denominational and open to interpretation.
 
The "Creator" well could have meant Satan or a flying spaghetti monster.

I am really hoping they mean the latter.

Unless you meant not oppressively religious enough this isn't true.

Yeah, SD is right. Those on the Mayflower were not fleeing religious persecution - they were fleeing religious freedom. They wanted to be able to persecute those who did not follow their overly puritanical outlook on Christianity but the British would not allow them so they upped sticks and moved across the Atlantic to found a colony that they could run along the lines of their ultra-puritanism.

You are right about the original US government being distinctly irreligious - several of them were essentially atheists, not to mention not strong believers in democracy either.
