In an atheist perspective, humans don't have rights. After all, without God, where else would we have gotten our supposed "unalienable rights" from? Or did we somehow acquired them during evolution?
So I guess those who follow the American Constitution are suppose to believe in God or something. Do we or don't we have unalienable rights? Argue well. The existence of God may depend on it. |

Ok, so you can have one place in the world say "these are inalienable human rights," and have another place in the world say "so-and-so are inalienable rights," and then have yet another place in the world say "you have no inalienable rights."
And so I guess it should be the illusion of inalienable rights, if inalienable rights are merely opinion, and are well, alienable. Essentially, there's no such thing as inalienable rights. QUOTE(Declaration of Independence @ July 4, 1776) We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The Declaration of Independence must have been written with fail.

The Declaration of Independence must have been written with fail. The "unalienable" rights are just arbitrary limits that mark the essential principles of a specific society. Other than that, there's not really much to add to the story, and those rights can be revoked by any person that has sufficient power to do so. |
