Reason

There is an important flaw in your essay. You said, "America is the land of reason whose government was founded on the moral principle of Individual Rights." You have, obviously, little understanding of the founding of America. You should get a DVD of David Barton's speeches, who has more knowledge of the founding of America than either of us. Our Rights are "God given Rights" not supplied by "reason". You are obviously not "Spirit filled" and the things of the Spirit are not comprehended by you. This is a tragedy, and provokes you to express those things that sound "reasonable", but are foolishness. My Lord is a Lord of Reason. Truth is the ultimate expression of Reason.
