The left doesn’t want to recognize rights come from God. In their atheistic view, “rights” are conferred by the State, not individually but “collectively.”

To deny that rights are divine in origin is to deny that men are creations of God, and do not have eternal souls. In other words, we are just pieces of meat, to be disposed of as the State sees fit.

When looked at that way, everything that happened in the Soviet Union is quite understandable.

A right has to do with a divinely ordained duty. That’s because we are not supposed to make it about ourselves.

Exactly right!
