Well lets just use a relevant example so you can understand. The lyrics to Creed’s song “My Own Prison” doesn't mention the Bible or Christianity or any other religion but its clearly referencing Christ on the cross. You dont have to say something outright to be influenced heavily by it. The word Creator in the declaration of independence is capitalized for a reason. The idea that rights are given to us by God and not man is a Biblical concept.
Further he didnt say the constitution mentioned the Bible or God just that our republic was founded on those principles.
He says we are a constitutional republic built on the bible and the word of god. I would think our Constitution would spell that out if that was the case. A lot of religions have Creators. I think it is left open on purpose.
Or it wouldnt to allow for the maximum amount of religious freedom while still employing those princples.
Where does it say in the bible god gives us the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? It seems to me god does what he wants in the bible, rights be damned. Whenever I bring up wiping out cities and even all life on the planet, christians say "Wulp he makes the rules!"
For future reference, "God" is spelled with an upper case G.
God never did any of those things without first warning and allowing those people time to change their ways. In some cases begging them to turn away from their evil ways for 400 years before commanding the Israelites to defeat them. God is very patient but eventually cannot tolerate wickedness for forever. Its one of those things when non belivers see evil happening they say “Why does God allow evil to continue” but when he actually does something about evil after giving the people multiple chances to change people say “God is a monster!”. You cant have it both ways.
