God or Gun: An American Philosophy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798894854175)

Authority as an Endowment

All men are created equal? This, the fundamental doctrine that is the basis of our entire American society, is now treated as just a catchphrase. Those who use this catchphrase try to convince anyone who will listen that "All men are created equal" is something to aspire. We are told we should work toward being equal and thinking of others as equal. Those who are shown not to be working toward this equality through this type of enlightenment should be shunned or worse. This has now been taken even further with the promotion of equity over equality.

This is ridiculous and should show those promoting such beliefs to be driven by ignorance or malice or both. "All men are created equal" is not a philosophy that you aspire to. It is a description of what is, not what could be.

The Declaration of Independence stated to the king of England why we, as a people, had the authority to break away from his rule and create our own nation based on the authority endowed by our Creator, God. This endowment was given when we were conceived, created. Hence, "All men are created equal."

This book is a comprehensive study and explanation of that authority given to each child conceived in the womb of its mother. Each of us should trace personal authority from this endowment the Declaration describes. I believe for the vast majority of people reading this text the depth and breadth of that authority will come as a surprise. It is my hope that, with the help of this text, the source and magnitude of our authority will be common knowledge among Americans once again.
