In Response To: Re: A quibble ... ()

Second sentence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator ...

I think that bastion of liberalism, the 9th Circuit court should make another Pledge of Allegience ruling with respect to The Declaration of Independence.

I assume the highlighted words were added by fundamentalists in the 1950s. No way our founding fathers would invoke a reference to a divine Providence or Creator
