denounce God", perhaps you should be a little more introspective and think, "hm, maybe that isn't what he meant... Maybe he meant the non religious idea of Jesus -- an intelligent and educated man with a conscious for the social good -- would have been an atheist in today's society". Sometimes a claim that seems too absurd to be true seems that way because it actually isn't true. And lastly, your phrases... 1. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of..... This means Congress shall not establish a national religion, nor shall it do anything to either inhibit or promote any religion. 2. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed......... I am all for the legalization of firearms, but not because it's a "Constitutional right". Rather, I am pro personal ownership of firearms because I believe il-legalization creates a black market. The "right" to bear arms means the people may establish an organized militia of civilians. It does not inherently give each individual a right t "O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish." However... "to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God." 2
