We need to put on some humility before God and realize that even this is actually a privilege before God.
It is in our secular contract as a right and it subverts the whole idea of the secular contract to call it something else.
But what do we deserve, what do we have by birth a right to, before God? The sad four letter answer is: hell. By second birth we can gain more, but it is pointed in a heavenly direction not a worldly one.
Point taken.
