Don't Say Grace, Say Justice

I love this short op-ed by Craig Biddle from The Objective Standard...

"...Is freedom a gift from God? It is not. Freedom, the absence of physical coercion, is a political condition resulting from the rational, principled thought and action of men—men such as Aristotle, John Locke, the Founding Fathers, Frederick Douglass, and American soldiers...

...Since God is responsible for none of the goods on which human life and happiness depend, why thank him for any such goods? More to the point: Why not thank those who actually are responsible for them? What would a just man do?...

...If someone provides his family with a warm, safe, comfortable home, justice demands that he, not God, be thanked for providing it..."
