And.....

The purpose of the United States Constitution was not to grant rights to the American people. The purpose was to establish a government of laws that would protect and secure each person's Creator- endowed rights to life, liberty, and property. As the Declaration of Independence states, "to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men."

One more and I shall take my leave...

"Government depends for its health on values that over the not-so-long run must come from religion. Human rights are rooted in the moral worth with which a loving Creator has endowed each human soul, and social authority is legitimized by making it answerable to a transcendent moral law. Without this, human rights are at the mercy either of selfish interests or established secular authority in which the self or society must finally be regarded as sovereign.

And how can this be if as you state a person's life belongs to the state? Because you have made it very clear that you think a person only has a right to their own life when fundies think it should. A person dying of cancer's right to life is nonexistent, their life is property of the state, essentially. What they do with their life is restricted by only what would be considered "holy" or something or other like that.
