So you’re saying that what is evil is evil because God says it is evil? Then from whence our inalienable rights?
________________
Yes, it is evil because it is against God’s will. That is the key to it and what you personally don’t understand when you look at Old Testament history. Since God is all-knowing, all-powerful, unchanging, and loves us, then to act against his will is wrong. Once again, similar to altruism, without God there are no inalienable rights, only rights granted by the state or society as “it” (actually a man or group of men) see fit. There is no basis to say their preference for your suppression is not equal to your preference for your freedom except a form of utilitarian argument (which makes the right not “inalienable” but conditional).
Given my previous post demonstrating that one's "inalienable" right to life can be given or taken away based on God's whim, how in the world can you claim rights are inalienable?

Well, one might return to my syllogism above which you still have not addressed.
