I am a firearms expert with several arms, booby traps, knives and will not yield to any man or government my G_d given rights. I will not be alive upon this earth many more moons however anyone who takes me for granted makes a fatal mistake because though I may be much slower I know more ways to sent my enemies to meet their maker than when I was 21.
God given rights? You think God gave you the right to have a gun? Er....
Oh please do try to be serious. Have you not at least tried to study the documents surrounding the writing of the Constitution? It is hard to discuss a subject with someone that does not have at least a basic understanding of American History. Get a good university level book on American Constitutional History and read up please.
Yes.
The simple fact is that all the rights protected by the Constitution were made by man. I can prove this. I can go through English history and show you the Magna Carta, the English Bill of Rights, and then on to the US Bill of Rights and at EVERY STAGE it was MAN that made these things. It was man who made the philosophical argument for rights. There's no god or God there.
The Founding Fathers made freedom of religion an important part of the new country, and freedom of religion means you don't have to follow any god at all. So, it wasn't just those who believed in a god that got the rights, or were given the rights, it was everyone (well, we know it wasn't everyone, but you get the point) and not based on religion. So, based on what came before, based on what the founders said, it was clearly MAN who gave people rights.
My, what a statist view you have.
Apparently you missed the "God-given right" thing.
The concept of it may not penetrate your PC-stricken brain. That doesn't mean it's not a valid concept; only that you're too indoctrinated to realize it.
God given right, but I also have the right not to believe in God. Great.
I know what rights are, you can pretend they are god given, but you can't force this on me. So......?
I reckon you believe the state gave you your rights, which makes you one sad sack sorry person.
You ever seen a state baby firsthand?
I have. That's not something that can be integrated into society.
They need to remain locked up indefinitely.
Any state babies wander into my neighborhood and I'll shoot them in the head immediately. If you disagree, you should be put into the cell with one for 48 hours.
