Yet another religious cult raided

[Jester]

I think they would have liked God to strike down the tyrants with lightning bolts, but were willing to stand up to them with force of arms when necessary.

In the original Articles of Confederation, phrases like "the Great Governor of the World", do exist. And, I think due to some of the founders who wanted the US to remain religiously pluralistic, that type of wording was intentionally left out of the rewrite. The full text I'm referring to is; "And Whereas it hath pleased the Great Governor of the World to incline the hearts of the legislatures we respectively represent in Congress, to approve of, and to authorize us to ratify the said Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union."

And I would also direct you to read Common Sense, by Thomas Paine as it was probably the most influential pieces of literature that promulgated the concept of Liberty, and freedom from the oppression of King George. Especially the part labeled "Of monarchy and hereditary succession".

While Paine is interesting as always, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have picked out of that.
