A "Diest's" View of Freedom
And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.
--Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781
