Where precisely does the Bible specify the concept of rights?
Nobody created the creator. God is eternal.
1.Everything which has a beginning has a cause.
2.The universe has a beginning.
3.Therefore the universe has a cause
God doesn't have a 'cause' because He has no beginning or end. He is the First Cause.
I know its hard to comprehend something eternal, but think of it this way -- God is the creator of time, so he is not confined to the 'time' that we are a part of. He is outside, or transcendent to time, space and the universe.
I don't have to quote scripture for you to understand my point. You can see the difference in countries based upon Judeo-Christianity and those that aren't. I am not claiming these societies aren't faliabile, as we are all human. Indeed, many who "claim" to be Catholics/christians, in reality are liberals who support abortion, etc. There has also been a lot of conflict and violence in all of humanity--Still, truth exists. Whether or not the majority live up to the exercise is not my concern for this argument, only that the truth can be ascertained and therefore practiced on an individual basis, thereby achieving differing levels of spiritual perfection.
The truth is that the founders believed in a specific doctrine--that God is a well-spring of unfathomable love, mercy, and forgiveness--not war, hatred and oppression like we see throughout the Moslem world. The founders beliefs are reflected in how they constructed our political bodies.
The Bible actually goes beyond rights, O. The big problem is that this wonderful model for living, coming directly from G-d in the flesh has been entrusted to people.
Roughly akin to having a pack of chimps in to Sardis for a 7 course dinner.
