Particularly those governments under which millions of people were killed. If there are churches, they must have been "approved" by the state.

If you remove God, then by what you said above, there would be nothing to stop the Government fom killing anyone at any time for any reason.<br /><br />The right to life is "ONLY" found in the Bible, and is only given by "GOD". Remove Him and you and I are just an aniamal, no different then a mouse!<br /><br />Shane (Hangmann747)Hangmann747https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825473275791416013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-32807826481289097862009-11-02T17:26:03.054-06:002009-11-02T17:26:03.054-06:00Best of luck with finding that Hangman747.
Gabri...Best of luck with finding that Hangman747.<br /> <br />Gabriele, <br />Your English is not bad-no apologies necessary. <br /><br />I think one of the problems we currently face as a nation, is that we have retained the appearance of Godliness(individual rights and freedoms that do not come from the state) while denying the substance. <br /><br />Religion of all sorts, but especially Christianity have been so degraded, that we have forgotten the basis for the individual rights we claim. That basis is that they are gifts from our creator and not from the state. If our creator(God) has given us these gifts, then not only does the state lack the authority to take them from us, but we, as a people, then have a duty to defend them from usurpation by the state.<br />If one lacks a basic knowledge of and faith in God, how can one possibly claim Him as the author of our rights as individuals?<br /><br />And if we cannot claim God as the author of our rights, then from whence do we derive the authority to declare that we have them? <br />This is the true underlying battle for America at this point. <br /><br />If we acknowledge God, then we must acknowledge His will in our form of government. If we do not, then our republic has no firm base upon which to stand to defend those freedoms which we have, from the outset of this nation, claimed as the gifts of an all powerful creator who has the authority to grant them.<br /><br />One might say that Mr. Obama, in declaring that America is no longer a Christian nation, has, in effect, declared that individual citizens have no God given rights. His actions and appointments serve as confirmation that such is the case. <br /><br />Thank you for the opportunity to examine this issue in this context, Gabriele. Now I have some thinking to do. :)Call Me Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420259973871484926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-60738068602323600502009-11-02T16:09:43.571-06:002009-11-02T16:09:43.571-06:00Hello Gabriele,

Big question!<br /><br />Anyway, it isn't a problem. I trust your explanation! I agree to achieve a balance between Freedom and Political power (the Government). <br /><br />I think the best solution is a Federal Constitution based not only on the individual Freedom, but even on the Freedom of the States that are united in the Federation. Without strong Communities that can resist to a tyrannical central power (you know it could happen), without strong individual Rights that can eventually resist to a local political power exercized in a tyrannical way, there cannot be any equilibrium between Freedom and Politics.<br /><br />Thank you very much Call Me Mom for your answer and sorry for my English. I'm trying to improve it.<br />;)Gabrielehttp://alopex777.spaces.live.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-1976264373503770942009-10-31T21:18:14.704-05:002009-10-31T21:18:14.704-05:00Gabriele,

The video contends that a republic provides the optimum level of government control balanced with an optimum amount of individual freedom.<br />I tend to agree.Call Me Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420259973871484926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-81405927631688404842009-10-31T18:47:52.277-05:002009-10-31T18:47:52.277-05:00I think the difference between Republic and Democr...I think the difference between Republic and Democracy is the following: in the Democracy the will of the rulers exercizes the supreme power with no limits. The citizens have no individual rights. Their rights depend on the will of the Community. Who is the ruler in a Democracy? A government headed by a Prasident or an Assembly dominated by the majority of 51%.<br /><br />I think in a federal Republic the State should be based on a Constitution which contains Individual Rights (including the right of resistance to a tyrannical government) and State members' Rights (including the Right of Secession of a State from the Federation). A modern Republic should have two features: a strong Federalism and the division of the executive power from the legislative and judicial power.<br /><br />I think the Peopole has a false sovereignity in the Democracy and a real sovereignity in the modern Republic. I think the difference is that in the first one there is only one class of rulers that are the masters of the Community and decide on behalf of the People (including the change of the Constitution). In the modern Republic, the People exercizes the constituent power through the election of a Convention and the final plebiscite for the approval of the new Constitution.Gabrielehttp://alopex777.spaces.live.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-67292493813638497622009-10-23T02:46:40.366-05:002009-10-23T02:46:40.366-05:00Call Me Mom,
