I knew this would be fun.Already explained that recognizing G-d does not establish the U.S. as a theocracy. Ya think anyone is surprised to see you don't possess the required acumen to understand?Moron, I never said the right to pursue happiness is not mentioned in the DoI. What I said is the right to pursue happiness comes from G-d, not the DoI.The right to pursuit of happiness is in the Declaration of Independence. I keep pointing that out and you keep repeating it
.... g'head ... this is where you express confusion again and ask if that makes us a theocracy because you don't know the answer to that question.![]()
- So we get the right to pursue happiness from God
- But we are not a theocracy
Um...I'll just stop there and let your own statement hang you
This should be good .... where do you think the right to pursue happiness comes from ... ?
Of course it does, if that is the basis of your argument, which you are saying it is.
I think God was an inspiration to many, but the Constitution is the basis of our law. The Constitution says life, liberty and property, which is a great legal basis for the pursuit of happiness, which is too vague to put in the basis of our law, the Constitution. Pursuit of happiness was perfectly reasonable to put in the DOI, which is just a reason we are seceding and not a basis for our laws.
But you argue that the pursuit of happiness is the legal justification for forcing government to recognize and fund gay mating. And that it comes from God. For that to be true, God is the basis of our laws, not just an inspiration for them, makes us a theocracy. You can't have it both ways.
You may now proceed to not even grasp the discussion, as you do in every other discussion
Nowhere in that diatribe do you actually answer the question .... where do you think the right to pursue comes from?
The right to pursue comes from the age of consent in your State--although it may also arise from a little too much booze.
