[QUOTE="Anto9us, post: 67099307, member: 334439"] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=Black][SIZE=3]"Yes, but the FOUNDERS were Christians. When you get into talking about Deists, you have moved to subsequent historical developments." I concur, Albion. I also disagree with someone else who said: [/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]"the craftily constructed humanistic pride-stroking contract aka "the constitution" stands as a monument of rebellion against Godly authority." NO. Whereas some of the "subsequent Deist developments" came into play by the time of the Constitution -- it was still built basically on earlier documents such as the Fundamental Orders of Connecticutt; some English Common Law, and even influenced by some American Indian agreements from tribes in northwest USA and Canada Constitution is not a rebellion against "Godly authority" - though "God" to its forerunning document-writers may have been a Deist God or a Great Spirit as well as the Christian God a Creator-God and a "firm reliance upon Divine Providence" is articulated in early documents however Deist one wishes to proclaim them.
