Sarah Palin recently claimed in a Fox News interview that the US Constitution says that "we will create law based on the God of the Bible and the Ten Commandments."
Where exactly in the US Constitution, adopted in September 1787 by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and ratified by conventions in each U.S. state in the name of "The People" - say that?
Where is the word "God" mentioned in any line of the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights?
She also says that our motto is "In God We Trust" and so we must be a Christian nation. Is she aware that the motto was not adopted until 1956, long after the death of the founders?
When Jefferson mentions the word "God," in the Declaration of Independence (not a constitutional document), is she aware that those words she references were written by a Deist who wrote "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth." It's sort of the Bible, minus all the supernatural nonsense.
