In response to An Indictment posted by Migisi:

I think what Paul is saying in Romans 3:10 is that we are all without rights except those we receive from our Creator--or--another way of saying that is that we all have the SAME rights--the ones we receive from our Creator.
.
It took nearly 1800 years for that to sink in and to come out as inalienable rights.

The Eighteenth Century IS the one that presents Western Civilization with the ability to break the traditionalist mind set that had always prevailed in human thinking. It was not JUST the Founding of America; but, it was across the board in Western Civilization that human beings were set free from tyranny of all kinds. It is of major importance in history that the eighteenth century is a turning point in time. Our Constitution breaks the hold religion has on humanity with its First Amendment and that is in direct contradiction to the idea that America is founded on Christian principles. So much for saying America is a Christian nation. We are a Secular Society--Straight Arrow.
