roll of the divine dice

“Two hundred forty eight years ago, we boldly proclaimed in our Declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ – not born equal – created equal. And that we’re ‘endowed with our Creator with certain unalienable rights.’

See, we understand that our rights do not come from government, they come from God. There’s another thing we recognize – we are made in His image. And because of that, every single person has inestimable dignity and value. And your value is not related in any way to the color of your skin, what zip code you live in, where you come from, what your talents are, or what you can contribute to society. Your value is inherent because it is given to you by your Creator. That’s what we stand for.

Speaker Johnson

It’s like when God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, a distinction lost on them because they hadn’t eaten the fruit so did not have the necessary knowledge thereof, and then punishing all of us because Adam and Eve only found out something was wrong when they got that knowledge.

Why create that particular tree and have it stand out so you couldn’t help but see it.

Why create everyone as equal and then put some in positions where those rights are routinely denied?
