A distinction without a difference. We get to the same place, just through different paths. You're just trying to lawyer this to death- we both agree that humans have inalienable rights.
You can believe whatever you want but this country was founded upon the idea that rights are inalienable because they come from God.
Okay. And so?
You don't believe that, so you don't believe in America. Period.
You're going in circles. I've already told you that I believe we have certain inalienable rights. Where is our disagreement regarding the principles of America's foundation? You seem to want me to disagree with you on America's founding political philosophy, but we're really on the same page.
The only rights which really exist are rights which come from God. This nation was founded on the idea that rights come from God, not from "our status as thinking, sentient beings." You don't believe that rights come from God, so you don't believe in what America was founded upon. It's just that simple.
