CNN Anchor: ‘Our Rights Do Not Come From God’

[Where_r_my_Keys]

I smell a Rabbi sock!

Your concession is duly noted and summarily accepted.

WHY, since you never laid a glove on me? I have yet to see anything you posted that shows that rights being God-given is more than wishful thinking.

ROFLMNAO!

DELUSION ON PARADE!

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

They don't come from God. They come from us. The only right that God grants is life. If he's in the mood.

The term creator is used essentially as a figurative. Lefty freedom-stiflers and otherwise fascists want to apply it to a specific ideological entity so they have leverage to bitch and deny rights.

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.

any law written is to either reinforce rights or to correct situations

where rights have been violated

Are you serious?

The Government no longer serves as a means to defend human rights, it serves as a protection racket, wherein it says, 'we'll let you exercise your right to own a business, as long as you pay us...'.

And the list goes on and on... .

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

Every nutter who claims that Obama is taking away your rights had better get fight with your god.

God's punishment is punishing, to be sure. Better to stay ahead by obeying God's law, than to be shown WHY.

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

Our rights come from neither us nor a deity that doesn't exist.

So true. Our rights come from the Creator, OKA: Nature's God, AKA: God and SKA: Nature.

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

If your rights are violated, do you just pray or go to court? There should be no need for courts, if the OP is correct.

what sort of idiotic post is that

Isn't it the one that can't comprehend plain English that's the idiot? Answer the question or leave the forum to people with the IQ to understand the discussion.

LOL! Now THAT is a lovely concession....

Your concession is duly noted and summarily accepted.

He didn't concede anything. Government protects your rights. Government decides which rights it will protect.

Then list the rights that the Creator gave us, since there is obviously dispute over what is or isn't a right.

 

[NYcarbineer]

If God gave us our rights, including the right to free speech,

why did God also command that one not take his name in vain?

Isn't swearing an exercise of free speech?

The OP and the voices in your head are actually not the same. So government cannot protect our rights unless government gives us our rights? That's just stupid. Government does not give us our rights, but government is a vehicle to protect them.

The U.S. Constitution

The United States Constitution serves as the law of the land for America and indicates the intent of our Founding Fathers. The Constitution forms a secular document, and nowhere does it appeal to God, Christianity, Jesus, or any supreme being. The U.S. government derives from people (not God), as it clearly states in the preamble: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union...." The omission of God in the Constitution did not come out of forgetfulness, but rather out of the Founding Fathers purposeful intentions to keep government separate from religion.

What does that have to do with the notion that rights are God-given? Take the government out of the equation, how are rights defined, much less enforced? Did God change his mind? In the Old Testament slavery was tolerated, but today most religions condemn it. If rights are God-given, where are they listed and what's God's method for advising us of a change?

DELUSION ON PARADE!

I'm deluded? What can be more deluded than thinking that, absent government, rights are more than wishful thinking?

I'm often asked why I cite the Moderator of this very Site who recently noted:

THERE ARE NO LEFTIST AMERICANS!​

Asking further if I agree... At which time I inform them that of course I agree... given that God prohibits the possibility for someone to simultaneously adhere to both the thesis and the antithesis.

They then usually ask why I feel that Leftists can't or don't adhere to the American thesis and I point out that that is because they wouldn't be Leftist if they did.

But every now and again a jack-ass Liberal gets honest in public and provides a WONDERFUL example of what Anti-Americanism IS, what it looks like and how pitiful they are trying to sell it.

So here's another New York Leftist runs to misinform the Intellectually Less Fortunate, that they have no inalienable rights:

CNN Anchor Our Rights Do Not Come From God CNS News

(The video is embedded in that article I could not find an independent link to the video, so you can watch it there.)

You can get a fantastic discussion of it here, with the most relevant context included:

Mark Levin Chris Cuomo is WRONG Our rights do not come from man and HERE 8217 S WHY The Right Scoop -

In truth, absent God, Inalienable human rights cannot exist.

But which god?

Not defending Palin as she is a fucking moron, but all the super far left haters on these boards seem to have pictures of well known republicans as avatars.... I dono if you're aware but it really does come across like you all receive the same news letter and talking points. Just food for thought coming from a non Republican.

Logic test for liberals.

You argued: If God gave us our rights, then government cannot protect our rights

So, if government can protect our rights, that implies our rights came from...what?

Feel free to phone a friend or ask your teacher for help...

Yes, it does. Well stated. I personally don't understand the whole concept of using one's enemy as an avatar. I think avatars should indicate what you are, not who you hate.

Rights come from the People who decide through their Government what rights they will have. The Government then protects them.

If you think rights come from God, why do you argue that abortion is not a right? Or same sex marriage?

Did GOD tell you that?

 

[NYcarbineer]

If rights come from God, but, there is a possibility that God doesn't exist,

does that mean that it's possible our rights can't exist?

I think you need to phone an English teacher, since I never said, if God gave us our rights, government couldn't protect our rights. My statement said, if rights are God-given why aren't they God-enforced? Since they aren't, how do you prove that the notion isn't just wishful thinking?

Abortion is not a right because it is murder....I think even atheists who kill muslims would understand that.....

They are enforced by man.....he tells us what he expects and it is up to us to do the work........and if man gave us rights they can be taken away by man.....since God gave us those rights, no man can take them.....without being subject to God when the time comes....
