"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."You seem to think that because I agree with one part of the statement, I must agree with the other. I hold that truth to be self evident -regardless-. I'm perfectly satisfied with those inalienable rights being endowed by...wait for it......us. It makes absolutely no difference. Point of fact....we did the endowing, or else we wouldn't have needed to write that.
So recognition of the creator also goes with the territory? No. Than may we say the argument all men are created equal is as valid a statement as them being endowed by their creator?
Quote:We recognize that all men are not created equally quite readily. Sure they are all born human. Some are born blind, retarded, deaf, mute, deformed, psychopathic, sociopathic, etcetera. To say they are equal to those not born with such conditions is a false equivalency. They are different and must be dealt with differently. To not do so is to harm those in need of aid and to harm society by not prohibiting those in need of restraint.-You- may recognize that...but you're a bigot.....and I'm not. For some reason, I don't think you'd be satisfied with that were it to be decided that you're the different inferior (which you are, of course).
But it would appear we are in the same boat as your false equivalency does not concern me one iota.
So, I did accurately summarize your position, right...no objections? You're okay with the state discriminating against the different and inferior gays because of some compelling interest. Correct?
