The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were founded on the principle that human law cannot contradict God’s direct decree, only if God had not ruled in an area where men are then free to set their own legislative policy.
If it isn’t longer self-evident that all men are created, then it cannot be self-evident that all men are created equal. As the Declaration of Independence suggests, losing the physical understanding of self-evidence causes us to lose the metaphysical understanding of self-evident.
As long as there are people who strongly adhere to a religion that honors this principle, man’s power, as well as government’s power, will always be limited. So, in order for liberals to construct evil from either desires and passions, believe in God must be neutralized, better yet destroyed, and moral relativism is a keystone of that degenerative road.
