Just read your link. So have you decided to follow the Bible or the Declaration of Independence? :)
Can you point out in the Bible where it says we have a 'right' to the 'pursuit of happiness'?

The Bible, of course. I find no concept of "rights" in the Bible. We were created to be servants and children of God who, under His perfectly just rule, have no need for rights. The concept of "rights" is only applicable when we are trying to limit man-made governments.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery....You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." - Galatians 5:1,13
Well said, @stan. We may have the freedom to do things, but that doesn't make it right.
