Your invisible god is not my happiness, and it is NOT what the founding fathers meant. IMO we would be better off without religion.

(3,829 posts)6. So 'pursuit of happiness' means
to pursue the will of the invisible superhero that Rick Santorum has made in his own image. Why would I want to be a slave to Rick Santorum's Satan that opposes fun and enjoyment?
Rick Santorum is used to denying himself what he really wants, and he believes that others should do the same.
