Swalwell is an idiot, but saying rights come from a fictional character is asinine.

Its in the thing.  The idea is not just of a God but that they aren't from govt. 

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 to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Your atheism not withstanding, you do realize what “inalienable” means, right?

Teach them the truth? That Columbus was a great man? :lol: 

Well well….lookie here folks…..we got us a boomer wokie!   Tell us how evil he was, let’s hear it.  And be sure and go back a couple hundred years before he even discovered the place. Tell us what the Indians were doing before he got there, like slaughtering each other.   Revisionist history is so fucking intellectually dishonest.

Whether I'm a atheist or not plays no bearing on this. A God is something to believe in, but it's preposterous to say a fictional character gave you rights.

takes an awful lot of nerve for a guy who’s firmly in the “if you don’t have anything to hide” camp to comment in a thread like this.

Oh please.  Quit being such a fucking drama queen.  Don't kill yourself, but maybe smack your head against the door frame!

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

There was an excellent Frontline last night that's so relevant to our current social, religious and political climate...
