    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    I disagree. Rather, if people don't realize that their situation could be different, then they aren't missing out on anything. Their situation "just is". IOW, happiness lacks meaning without sadness to compare it to. Hot lacks meaning without cold to compare it to.

    Why would God want people to be unhappy?

    why do you believe that Christianity is all about God creating a utopia without evil?

    This is absurd.

    A truly omnipotent god could create the reality that people could be perfectly happy,
    and an all-loving god who was indeed omnipotent and wanted to create people
    would do exactly that...else it would not be all-loving.

    It's far more likely that the concept of god was a construct of "early-phase of evolution" humans,
    and that a residual effect of that remains in some present-day-humans for reasons we need to examine.
