Espousing a need for "Biblical view of justice" should not be "clarified", it should be disqualifying in a nation with a separation of church and state. This is hardly much to ask given the US Constitution's rejection of religious tests for positions w/in the government.

Considering all the rights of the nation are deemed to the people by god according to the constitution the yes. A Christian perspective is require to interspersed the constitution properly.

Mfw it ignores relevant context of all the founders being evangelicals, referencing, and guaranteeing “natural rights” which means that as humans they are ordained by god to be given certain privileges above lesser animals.pic.twitter.com/YT7G7moay7

Mfw, as a historian, I encounter someone who tries to claim all the founders were evangelicals.pic.twitter.com/fbiIU8mvJB

Are you really going to disagree that the founding fathers didn’t believe in natural rights for the citizens of the US? What a big brain take
-
My response was to your other allegation, not to that. As to that, sure, the founding fathers believed in natural rights--a concept that predates Christianity. As the Roman Cicero said, "We are born for Justice, and that right is based, not upon opinions, but upon Nature."

Out-of-context efforts by the
@WashingtonPost literally to stir up#hate. And ADL buys right into Washington Post hate-mongering. This is why so many have backed away from supporting the ADL. You keep doing things like this - just to stir things up. -
@ADL_National is experiencing an exponential surge in support. Pointing out that the nation's newly appointed chief law enforcement officer believes any religion should be a consideration in law enforcement is hardly "stiring things up", it is a defense of the Constitution.

Well I can’t speak for hypocritical chrisians. But from my point of view, the Bible offers a wealth of wisdom on patience, discernment, love, charity, justice, virtue and more. The only ones to argue with me about that are those that haven’t really read the Bible for themselves.

No one at the ADL has ever read or understood the Bible. If they had, they wouldn't be working for the ADL.

The ADL is an evil Jewish Supremacist org They're the Jewish KKK

The concept that the laws of our nation are God-derived, laws that have been constantly debated, constantly reshaped, constantly subject to human bias, and constantly implemented in varying ways, needs to be erased. Anyone subscribing to such a concept should lose all credibility

The founders claimed that the rights within the BoR were natural rights divinely created by God and an overwhelming majority of them were Anglicans or Presbyterians
-
That’s correct. And at the time that may have been a more intellectually defensible position given the information they possessed. Now, our philosophy, our science, and our jurisprudence have advanced beyond their understanding.

You said nothing. You took a bunch of things and tried to Frankenstein them together and it just makes you look like a dumb edgy teenager. All the comes across from this is you hate religion, which is itself a philosophical construct yet you act like its not.
-
(1) Atheism and secularism are philosophies, no contest; (2) Our rejection of the validity and pragmatism of religion is based in honest investigation not hatred; (3) The fact that law is created, debated, and reshaped by humans is a plausible argument against its divine origins.
