I'm not going to waste my time proving God that's not my point.

"It is the common consensus of the people that provide what constitutes "rights"."

O.K. let's go with that. So no one has any "rights" until a consensus of the people, through some sort of government (guessing on the government part) grants it to them?

And then doesn't it follow that any "right" granted by this method could be taken away the same way?

And doesn't it follow that any right that can be taken away legally isn't really a right it's a privilege?

Now don't get all wadded up. Because sometimes it seems the world really works this way. Doesn't it mean we have nothing and are nothing until somebody else tells us we can have something and be something?
