In particular, the idea that man has a value as an individual -- that the individual soul is precious -- is essentially a Christian legacy to the West; its first appearance was in the form of the idea that every man, despite Original Sin, is made in the image of God (as against the pre-Christian notion that a certain group or nation has a monopoly on human value, while the rest of mankind are properly slaves or mere barbarians).” – Dr. Leonard Peikoff, Religion vs. America <br /><br />http://books.google.com/books?id=OsCSArJxIRwC&pg=PT73&lpg=PT73&dq=%22The+early+Christians+did+contribute+some+good+ideas+to+the+world,+ideas+that+proved+important+to+the+cause+of+future+freedom.%22&source=bl&ots=n7CNmTXLYP&sig=D5fr4lqhskNL1uQ7R0fBVByxQ7o&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6h0tU_LCAsi3kQf1jYCABQ&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22The%20early%20Christians%20did%20contribute%20some%20good%20ideas%20to%20the%20world%2C%20ideas%20that%20proved%20important%20to%20the%20cause%20of%20future%20freedom.%22&f=false <br />Ilyn Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14361065075979697054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886353283832358677.post-8155615746099494912013-11-17T07:05:35.953-08:002013-11-17T07:05:35.953-08:00Jefferson talked of the dunghill who perverted Chr...Jefferson talked of the dunghill who perverted Christianity.

The WALL of SEPARATION divides free humans from wielders of legal coercive power. <br /><br /> The fight for the wall of separation, in all realms [conscience, religion/atheism/deism, science, economics, education, bedroom, uterus], is a fight for freedom. It is not a fight against Jesus. It is a fight on His side, since He fought for FREEDOM - He fought for Individualism - that every individual soul is precious. Thus, He fought for Individual Rights.<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=565933796797194&set=a.564011160322791.1073741832.100373710019874&type=1&theater Ilyn Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14361065075979697054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886353283832358677.post-24112280709069469982013-05-26T05:33:57.574-07:002013-05-26T05:33:57.574-07:00The early Christians taught that the INDIVIDUAL SO...The early Christians taught that the INDIVIDUAL SOUL IS PRECIOUS.<br /><br />I am made in God's image.
