God given rights. Do you really have any?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
When a right is given to us by governments, they assume and have a duty to ensure that they are never taken from us. If governments do not accept and do this enforcement duty, then citizens have a corrupted government.
If a right is given to a soul, by god, he would have a duty to ensure that they are never taken from us. The fact that they often are, indicates that he is shirking his duty.
To me, rights are like laws, completely useless and worthless unless they can be enforced by a given power when they are breached.
Do you have any real god given rights, or are god given rights just a feel-good lie that we tell ourselves we have so as to ignore that we have none?
Regards DL

So you would intentionally put obstacles in front of your children. Your an ass hole. Then again, like your prick of a god, whom you applaud for trying to put the obstacle of lack of all knowledge in the tree of knowledge, in front of A & E, you seem to not love your children. You are like your genocidal prick of a god. Regards DL Dude! you need to calm the F down. Being aggressive wont make your point any more valid. I mean why would you have to place the Genocide and all the mishaps on God. God is not charged with the well being of every man on earth. Humanity laid such disasters on them Personally i dont abide by any religion but do blv in a creator and pretty much your post got a well deserved answer that Govt is not charged with such duties neither such things are rights but entitlement

You have no 'rights' other than what privileges you can secure for yourself or in concert with others.
Let's look at the 'right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'.
Right to life? What 'right to life' does a drowning man have? To whom does he apply for redress while he's sinking?
Right to liberty? What 'right to liberty' does a man have when he's locked up by someone else? Can he simply invoke his 'right to liberty' and be freed?
Right to the pursuit of happiness? Certainly one can 'pursue happiness' as best they may- but what happens when one's pursuit of happiness involves depriving another of their life or liberty?
We agree to certain societal norms- our laws- that we abide by, but when someone acts outside the law there simply is no 'higher authority' one can call upon to have his or her 'rights' protected. In the absence of others who are willing to provide safety and security for you, if you cannot provide the same for yourself you are at the mercy of anyone who comes along and imposes their will on you.

I will calm down when Christians learn how to do decent apologetics for their genocidal god instead of running away the moment morals are talked about. Changing rights to entitlements does not take away from the fact that there are no god given rights or entitlements. What make you think a god created you when nature is a better candidate, as then you do not have to engage in destroying your mind with supernatural and fantasy thinking? Regards DL
