Our rights are those that we give ourselves, through our government and our conscience. Our basic civil rights are those given by our constitution and laws. Those rights deprived are those limited by law.
Religion has nothing to do with it, in a secular society. Our rights are greater, since we rid ourselves of religions deciding them for us.
Wrong again.
Tell me something, if rights are something we give ourselves why do other primates have an innate sense of fair play, of right and wrong? I really don't want to rehash the same arguments again, so I will just point you to the thread where I already showed that right and wrong are not something we made up.

Primates have a sense of fair play? You're an idiot. Rights are certainly manufactured, hopefully using logic and secular ethics. They're not something that God gave us. If I believe the bible thumpers, God takes away rights, and has done so since Adam and Eve sought out knowledge.
I am an idiot because two separate scientific studies on two different species of primates have proven that they have an innate sense of right and wrong? Yet you, who reject the science without even looking, are a genius.
Damn, I love being an right wing anti science nut, it makes it so much easier when someone posts something I disagree with, I don't have to pretend than science actually works.
