In this case a moderator decided to post something interesting to him, and it happened to most closely fit in this section. Members are free to come and see what is here, but don't need to tarry if they are offended, as some appear to be.
The simple truth is that the United States was founded by a group who deeply believed in God, Liberty, and the individual right to self determination. However, they also believed in the individual right to NOT believe in those things, and constructed a government that protected the rights of all, regardless of belief.
No other country was willng to allow those at the time, and few do today. Many of us believe that those rights are only protected with and by the right to keep and bear arms, and the loss of that right has been found. time and again, to rapidly lead to the loss of the most basic of human rights.
Believe in God, or don't, but the greatest nation in human history was founded by those who did, and continues to be protected by those who do. Without those men, much of Europe would be speaking German or Russian, and much of the rest of the world would be speaking Japanese.
