Well, sure it does, but that doesn't make it axiomatically true.

I am not interested in what is axiomatic, just what is true.

You can say "rights come from God" until you are blue in the face, and you can write it into a constitution, but none of this makes rights come from God. You can't make it true by just saying it, even with an authoritarial air while in the process of founding a government. Apparently in this particular corner of the universe, you DO think something can be made true by simply imagining it.

How else can truth be made? It is a concept.

No, then I would revert to axioms like you do. Instead, I will put up mannishness of man as my proof, and the ordered creation, and the bible. A personal infinite creator-God is consistent WITH ALL OF THESE. But you live in a dichotomy and your life is not consistent with your beliefs. That is for sure.
