Because you still have those rights even if you don't choose to ascribe them to a supreme being. They just exist.
You don't need God for liberty

 

I'm not religious at all, but I respect people's beliefs.
That's the issue I have with most athiests: The self-satisfied belief that they have a rational position and others believe in a fairy tale. I hate that shit.

 

nothing is free
you are not born with any rights
you are lucky you had parents
you are lucky you are born here
you arent right, you have no rights
you got lucky, babe
but others... not so much
which blows away the whole idea of people being born with rights
ask people born in north korea about being born with rights
ask all the late term abortions about rights

those north koreas cannot understand the concept of state sponsored rights as we see them in the west
just like a baby in the womb
but they can understand about god given rights
because the state is under god
it is the mandate of heaven
and the world knows this to be true if they search their heart
they just have to be reminded to re-search
and then they will fight for their right to party (fellowship/group/circle)
states rights are not universal, very much depend on which state (condition/situation) you are born into
but god given rights are universal and you can fight for them without any fear
warriors fight for god given rights
soldiers fight for state given rights

why party?
because you need a party to protect you when you go into the maze
you dont go down into the dungeon alone, you always party up first


you own property
if you own a beachfront property it is yours
but do you have a right to keep the sand to yourself and not allow others to play in it?
do you have a right to close off access to your beach?
no, that would be infringing on others rights to use the beach
to give others those rights they had to take away your rights.
in fact others have rights to your land, they have the right to an easement that you are required to provide so they can walk with all their noisy family right by your shower window as your wife is disrobed getting ready in the morning.
what can you do... it is their right of way.
which fucks up your privacy
somebody gave them those rights over you
the beach did not give them those rights
the government does
and then gives them the teeth to bite you with

rights are given by god
which means that over the years we have worked out that these are the highest ideals for mankind
so they 'must' be god given.
because if any dude would have given them they would not be the highest of ideals

rights in general are given to you by those that govern you, that is why they are called rights
you are not free but we will grant you a license to do something, like drive for instance
you have the right to drive, that right is called license
a right is a power, and power comes with responsibility
who are you responsible to?
they go hand in hand, if not you have to give back your spidey suit to iron man.
we know what rights are given by governments and other institutions of governance/braking.
and what rights they pretend to give you knowing full well they cant hold you responsible
those rights, the ones that only your conscience can hold you responsible for are your god given powers
the ones you have to be very careful how you use or there will be hell to pay.
and you will feel like shit
and then there are guys who believe its their job to defend those powers and to prosecute those who have misused their powers
and those eastern star mediaeval Punishers are no fun
and neither are their sickles to the throat

 

I hate it too because it is the exact opposite of what being an atheist is supposed to mean.
Being an atheist is not that that you believe there is no god. You believe, you so clearly believe.
Being an atheist means nothing today.
Wait till the religious police come around though. When those annoying fundamentalists are given teeth to go along with their bark.
Then being an atheist will be an actual thing.
It will mean that you do not believe in the "god" of the powerful, or that you do not properly pay it lip service.
Because you must serve 'their' god. Either by free will (your forehead/frontal lobe), or by compulsion/force (palm of your hand).
Which will then make you a heretic, a blasphemer, an atheist fit to be tied, excoriated, then burned.
You know, like the early christians and every single group of people who have tried to follow or spread that same spirit/gist/substance that has been persecuted to death by the powers who believe that they are the ones that hold the power to hand out god given rights.
AKA the kings of the blasphemers, liars, muderers, who play god to the masses and rake in the bucks, power or both, prestige.
Which if you know about prestige... its the veil the magician uses to hide his tricks.
And you his trick.
Now go get that money, honey.
Papa needs a new pair of ruby red slippers.

 

'oh well' does not fit into the worldview i am talking about
morals are about lifting people up, it is a term people have deliberately confused
morals are like team chemistry in that way, hard to pinpoint what it is when its not an issue but when its an issue you can see clearly what bad chemistry is
same with morals

yes, parts of the bible are fables, the bible is a compendium of all sorts of writings.
there are lists and lists and lists, ever read the epics attributed to some 'one' dude 'named' Homer, same thing is found there.
fables are like myths, they are things people say
people say a lot of things, some good some bad
you must test them in contrast to their fruits
everything produces fruit, good or bad
i love mediaeval romance, grew up on that english stuff like most of us
but most of the stories are lifted directly from the bible
because much like aesops tales they have stood the test of time as being good thematic lessons for forming minds
a young mind makes lots of errors but it can be easily diverted down a different stream
no one is changing nobodies mind about nothing
only a miracle can make you repent
you cant do shit to a mind thats already formed
have you forgotten why ultimately the hare loses the race?
you ever caught a rabbit?

 

Priscilla Presley likes this.

 

So whats that mean then?
That line. I dropped it a few times the past month, you the first to pick it up.

(if) You never caught a rabbit (then) You aint no friend of mine.
What/Who is a rabbit ?
Who/What is caught?
Who/What is a friend?

 

the walrus was paul

 

Nice!

You hit it hard on the head.
Elmer Fudd is to Elvis Presley what american popular music was to early rocknroll.
Elmer Fudd was to Elvis Presley what the old man is to the young kid.

Old means old, but more than that it means dead. Not old as in number of years, but old as in worldview/mindset/thinking. The past/dead.
That is Elmer Fudd.
Now what can an old person generally not do?
One who cant think like the younger people?
Its not that is not smarter, or that he has alzheimers.
Its that the world has spun again as it does every 20 and 40 years and he failed to vert.
Not keeping up with the times, but being in time. Like musically.
Which all just means one thing. Getting it.
Are you getting it? Armagedon it?
You got to feel it in your blood, aahaahaah.
When you got that Lust for Life... You Cant Help Falling In Love.

What are plaboy bunnies?
What are rabbits known for?
