Since this is the weekend following Independence Day, I thought this a timely quote to share. Made by Ravi Zacharias in his book Why Jesus? Rediscovering His Truth in an Age of Mass Marketed Spirituality:
"The Judeo-Christian worldview provided the essential definitions for the founding of America, beginning with the conviction expressed by our founders that at its core life is sacred and that our legitimate rights as human beings have been endowed to us by our Creator. Which other worldview could provide that categorical statement? Naturalism? Pantheism? Islam? No Islamic Nation in the world operates with a belief in the inalienable right of liberty. Naturalism does not acknowledge a Creator who could endow us with inalienable rights. And pantheism, with its karmic bequest, does not see us as being created equal; instead pantheism assumes that we are born to a life of karmic repayment until the debt is paid."

Hope you enjoyed your weekend.
It's a stretch, but pantheism might assume we all started out equal - and will end up equal when the "karmic wheel" is done.
I wonder if our Creator actually had "human rights" in mind when he/she created us.
