Even with you claiming a transcendent basis, they are only opinions. It took humans almost 1800 years after Christ to come to the sudden conclusion that God wanted humans to have any rights at all. The Bible never mentioned them. The Catholic church didn’t seem to notice them. Then, suddenly, in America, in the late 1770s, someone decided they were “self-evident.” Oddly enough, they hadn’t been self-evident from Adam to Abraham to Aristotle to Aquinas. It took Adams et all to suddenly decide that God wanted us to have the right to privacy and a free press.
Self evident means it’s not opinion.
Self-evident means the conclusion is inherent to the thing in itself, derived through the use of pure logic—in this case, the thing in itself is Christianity.
As long as even the rights aren’t the pinnacle of goodness, we’re on firm biblical territory.
The pinnacle of goodness is the glorification of God.
But even the Old Testament didn’t want the widow and orphan to be starved just because they were widows and orphans. And prophets spoke very brownly of societies that allowed it.
