Where do your rights come from, then? If they're granted to you by other men (temporal government), please explain to the rest of us how you would legitimately/logically claim that your rights are unalienable.

Oh, believe me. I would -much- rather live in a country that ascribes the source of those rights to God than to government. Noooo doubt there. I may be agnostic, but I am very much aware that I have a very vested interest in the rest of the world -not- being so.

I am quite well aware that Christianity's track record in respecting human rights is downright spectacular compared to what arises in atheistic systems (such as Communism).
