Nothing in the Constitution prevented it, and that remains the case to this day. So the way you figure it, individual rights were nonexistent before the birth of Locke. Have I got that right? No it isn't. Name them. Then surely it is passing strange that said clause was drafted so as to apply only at the federal level. One cannot help but wonder if you understand the meaning of the term. The DoI says otherwise in no uncertain terms. Which begs another question: what reason is there to believe the Creator was Himself created? So I daresay that as far as proving any error, you have a ways to go. So you figure the signers of the DoI were mostly lying. Right? I doubt it. Which is all very well as long as one knows the difference.
as long as they allow other religions to place their religious propaganda there too, I have no issue with it if they deny another religion, that is when it becomes a issue
The monument in question is a WW1 memorial. Most of those who fought in WW1 were of one of the many christian denomination and the recognised grave marker for christian is a cross. Even when they have a headstone, christian soldiers have a cross on it. This isn't propaganda, it's a memorial.
read my post again.... I have no issue as long as all religions are allowed to do the same thing.... look at your picture, so yes, I approve of that for awhile they tried to deny wiccans, that I did not approve of, all or none, if you deny one, all must be denied "Wiccan symbol OK on military headstones" http://www.nbcnews.com/id/18274639/ns/us_news-military/t/wiccan-symbol-ok-military-headstones/
Deists generally believed in the metaphor of the Great Clockmaker, Who created the clock, wound it up, and set it loose in motion, then not having to do with actions upon men or societies. Deism was never an organized religion, however. The God of Deism has no feelings or emotions or cares concerning an asteroid striking and destroying the earth.
