Read the founding documents for the country Lurker. Become educated. Your rights are granted, per the founding, by your Creator. Which is why man (i.e. the Gov’t) can not take them away.

True, the book of Exodus, the writer being the same man (Moses) being led by the Holy Spirit. My own failure to recall the correct book does not render the truths therein untrue.

Without that ‘invisible man in the sky’ you are but a cosmic accident, worth nothing compared to any other form of life, and of no consequence.

I have.

Your rights are granted, per the founding, by your Creator.

So your position is that if there is no God, we have no inalienable Rights? Does that about cover it?

Which is why man (i.e. the Gov’t) can not take them away.

Really? Let's ask those 6 million Jews the Nazi government murdered if their Rights were taken away or not. Let's ask the 20 million or so that Stalin murdered if their Rights were taken away by the Soviet government or not.

My own failure to recall the correct book does not render the truths therein untrue.

Your own words do. You said the events in Genesis were 'witnessed'. I said they weren't. I was right. You were wrong.

The difference between people like you and me is that you need something outside of yourself, real or not, to validate your life, your worth, and your inalienable Rights. I do not.

My Rights exist because I exist. I don't need any invisible, all seeing, all knowing, all forgiving entity for that.

Now you have a nice day.
