Instead of resorting to meaningless generalities, why don't you name some specific issues that are contentious as to their status of being rights or not being rights,

then tell us which are or aren't rights, and then tell us how God told us which were and weren't rights.

 

[Contumacious]

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?

Don't confuse the issue.

You have a right to pursue happiness.

If being a homosexual is your cup of tea then more power to you, your right is covered by the US Constitution and the Ninth Amendment.

But I do not understand why a homosexual wants the government to find that his relation is moral and for it to recognize it and give it validity .

Of course it gives rights. It takes opinions and turns them into legal facts.

it not up to me to tell you what rights you have

the Declaration of Independence is clear on what are natural rights

The Founders, in the Declaration of Independence, also said that Governments were formed to secure those rights.

So if our Government does not secure gay rights, then government must have decided that there is no right of a homosexual to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Thus the burden is on you to either admit that you believe Governments give us our rights, or else prove that God declared that gays do not have rights.

If your opinion is that you have the right to own guns, implicitly without fear of the law, you can do that if the government gives you that right,

via something like the 2nd Amendment.

Your opinion about gun rights becomes a fact thanks to the Government.

So the Right to bear arms, the right to petition, the right to a speedy trial...are not "Natural Rights"

Or are they?
