Okay, we’ll play it this way: when ‘right to die’ becomes ‘duty to die’ will you willingly allow yourself to be a sacrifice at the governments convenience?

Of course not...and I'm well armed.

You don’t ‘believe’ in the ‘supernatural’ yet you are on FR which is a CONSERVATIVE website that is Pro-God.

Any yet there are plenty of atheists (such as myself) posting on it. I'm certainly not going to hide my beliefs (or lack thereof) when it's relevant to the discussion at hand.

The Founders stated that our rights come not from man but from God.

I agree that they stated this. That doesn't make it true, of course, but it is the basis on which our government was founded.

Deny God, we then have no native natural rights.

Again, I agree. The concepts of rights is a human invention.

And then, thus, your life and your achievments then mean nothing.

"Meaning" is also a human invention, thus my life has whatever meaning I choose to invest in it.

So you might as well die and dcrease the surplus population, eh?

I don't want to, so I won't. My life is far too enjoyable to cut it short.

So, you are saying that you have NO rights as rights then come from man.

“I don’t want to, so I won’t. My life is far too enjoyable to cut it short.”

No, you just want to push for and gloat over OTHERS dying as in your view it is their ‘right’.
