Where does the Bible ever mention rights?
Yes but you're also free to believe you yourself are a god. You'd be wrong, but you're still free to believe it.
That is all I am asking for.
Yes you have the right to believe that rights flow from God, or Santa, or the Tooth Fairy. But since none of these figures speak to humans, we can't interpret which rights they give us. We must rely on society to dictate what is or isn't a "Right."
I know some of you don't like God-given rights and I accept that but if someone believes that their rights come from God does that interfere with your right to believe they come from the state? I'm willing to accept that you believe that for yourself but can't others believe differently? Do they not have the right to claim that part of their humanity for themselves?
It isn't a matter of belief. It's not liek someone believes that Jesus is the messiah and I disagree and we can all respect each other.
It is demonstrable that rights do not come from god. It is demonstrable that individuals have no rigths that cannot be taken away from them.
So rights must come from somewhere else. In fact rights come from society as a whole. Government simply annunciates those rights and enforces them.
Daayum! I hope this does not happen too often. I agree with the Rabbi.
It seem rather unfair that this first person can create a right and then deny that same ability to everyone else around him since anyone who dares to create a right must first be subject that right to the approval of others. He had to get permission while the first person did not.
No, because rights don't come from your neighbor.It isn't a matter of belief. It's not liek someone believes that Jesus is the messiah and I disagree and we can all respect each other.

If my neighbor decides that I don't have the right to speak does that mean I lose that right?
If society in general decides you don't then you don't. For example you have no right to threaten the President's life. Where is that written? I dunno. But it is a crime and anyone doing it will be investigated. This will be upheld in the courts. All of it because society in general deems threatening the president a criminal act.
Wow rabi, the country is turning, we can't afford you leeches
Anti-semite posts are very offensive. I urge you to withdraw the comment and apologize to rabi and to all semites at USMessage Board.
"rights" are granted by others. not God.
If enough other people think you should not do something they will keep you from doing it.
"rights" are granted by the society in which you live.
agreed.
we invent our rights. then we enforce our right, to have rights. right?

He didn't need to get permission.
He was the KING!
And he told everyone else what their rights were: they had the right to work his land, keep some of the food, and give him any profits that were made.
They also had the right to pay him homage.
