Sure, but the "higher power" is not a person. It's the objective truth of human nature and what kinds of behavior thriving in that environment requires.
Uh-oh, I can see your fingers itching to press the cut & paste button, but please do try to respond to that in your own words this time.
Everything I write, with the exception of attributed quotes, is my own copywritten material.
It's the objective truth of human nature and what kinds of behavior thriving in that environment requires.
That is sophistry, or do you want to concede that MIGHT MAKES RIGHT ???
Claims of morality is sophistry without some singular higher power defining what it is.
Again, returning to Plato's Euthyphro, Socrates advanced the argument that piety to the gods who all want different things is impossible. Socrates exposed the pagan esoteric sophistry.
The mythical rights of men and women are meaningless.
The very concept of rights is also founded in religion.
Since the enlightened person is freed from any superstitions about some "God," they are free from having to worry about "rights." Only raw power counts and humans are just meat puppets for the powerful...
MIGHT MAKES RIGHT is your argument, not mine.
