That's why "humans" need to defend those Rights, which are God-given and natural in essence.

That's why the Revolution was fought. Whatta concept, huh?!

To the extent that you and I would not enjoy these "unalienable" rights that you refer to were it not for the constiution and the acceptence of and enforcement of it by the people of the US, the cliam that these rights come from G-d is a bit of a moot point.

"God did not make all men equal, Colonel Colt did"

That was a little saying from the frontier, and it illustrates your point. God may indeed wish us all to have certain rights, but it is up to us to defend them, unless The Allmighty sees fit to send some bolts from the blue to aid the cause of freedom.
