>>"Murder, a God-given right. RobRoy.
Feel free. It is true.

I don't understand.<<

Let me clarify: If you can do a thing, it is, by definition, a God given right to choose to do it and carry out the act. It means he has given you the authority to choose to do the thing, but also the responsibility for the consequences for doing it.

In other words, God gives you the right to murder someone, and then you suffer the consequences for doing it.

And it begs the question, what about the "rights" of the person you murdered? For that, you will need to read C.S. Lewis' book "The Problem of Pain".

But somewhere on here I read that taking away our god-given rights was reason for overthrowing our government? Is this your perception?
