Description
Excerpt from What Can I Do?
F there be no God, where do I get my rights and liberties? From the State?
Then the State can take them away. From the will of the majority? Then the majority can take them away. The Declaration of Independence says I get my rights and lib erties from my Creator. If this be so, no one can take them away; they are there fore inalienable. If I want to keep my per fume, I must keep my ?owers; and if I want to keep my rights I must also keep my God! Democracy is not a root but a branch. The root is religion which alone gives value to each person as a creature of God. But atheism is the root of anti-americanism.
That is why subversive activities are always anti-religious.
HE Declaration of Independence is also a Declaration of Dependence, for it af firms our dependence on the Creator and on Divine Providence. As the pendulum of the clock is free to swing on condition it be suspended from a fixed point, so I am free because I recognize dependence on the Su preme Lawgiver who is God.
