But my point is that we shouldn't have to argue about what the white overlords believed in the times here that everyone was oppressed. Although they didn't know better in their own time, they made it possible through the wording of the Constitution, for the eventual freeing of the rest of society.They didn't like being oppressed by England. And so you see the throwing off of the yoke of oppression was what they based their reasoning for the Revolution on. And so that reasoning eventually came round full circle to include women and minorities. Even though it took a long time for the people to see it, the concepts were present in the document. I just mean that the ruling class and much of society were of the Christian faith at the time of our establishment, and that is what makes some people think that it must be "Christian" values that we hold superior now. I think the values that should be held as superior to others are the ones that allow us to advance through history as the best country in the world. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness, with equality for all, and for the freedom necessary to better ourselves and our country.
