Can you provide chapter and verse on that please?




Why should belief in God take those protections away??????

It's rather the reverse - if the rights enumerated in the US Constitution are "God-given", then

1) Why would God give that right to certain countries - US, Iraq, Rwanda for example - but not to all the others?

2) Why would God give out a right that causes so much death and misery ?
