So God gives us the right to own property, and Man gives us the Right to use it, as trading property is one of it’s uses.

I suppose you also believe that God gave you the right to Publish, but you need Man’s permission to share what you have published.

Listen to what you are saying. God gives you rights, but he will take them back if a government decides you do not need them.

You can not be serious.

"So God gives us the right to own property, and Man gives us the Right to use it, as trading property is one of it’s uses."

God says that the property we have shouldn't be taken from us arbitrarily. Man decides by what avenues one can get such property. Otherwise, we'd be free to traffic in ways harmful to our fellow beings, or obtain property by stealing it from others.

"I suppose you also believe that God gave you the right to Publish, but you need Man’s permission to share what you have published.

"Listen to what you are saying. God gives you rights, but he will take them back if a government decides you do not need them."

I suggest that YOU listen to what I am saying. God grants INDIVIDUAL rights, not group rights. Above a certain level, government DOES have the right to determine how those rights are implemented. To use your "right to publish" example--the Constitution recognizes "freedom of the press", which ONLY applies to what a newspaper prints. Other aspects of it's business are subject to government regulation, and rightly so.

"You can not be serious."

I'm completely serious. The bogus transition from individual freedoms to "group rights" comes right out of the socialist agenda.
