I don't know any of you, but I came across this blog while searching for what the principle of "all men created equally" might be called.<BR/><BR/>While I didn't read the whole thing I must say I don't think the writers of that document had your interpretation in mind at all!<BR/><BR/>Not a religious person either, just try to look at things honestly. Either way, anyone know what that principle might be called?!Elle Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471963900140693220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-84481343348429723012008-09-12T20:20:00.000-06:002008-09-12T20:20:00.000-06:00Eneasz:Of course I deny it.

You have to be mixed in semen and egg, cook for about 9 months and then "poof" its still a creation. I don't think anyone can argue that.
