But which God? Which rights? Why has there been such great variance in just the last 200 years in recognizing these divine and eternal rights? Do women have rights? And if so, why did YHWH fail to recognize them? Do slaves have rights? And if so, why did YHWH condone slavery?

If these rights are divinely inspired and eternal in scope, then why have they changed and fluctuated so drastically within just a relatively short period of time?

i contend that these rights are not divine, but rather, changeable and humanly-inspired. As human societies change and evolve, so do our perceptions of "rights."

Thus, small-time tribal deities have little to do with this concept.

JW Frogen, my new favorite noob poster:

If you are such a weak jellyfish you can be bullied on a forum where you can ignore any poster you do not want to read than I suggest you move to Tibet, convert to Buddhism, protest the Chinese occupation, be killed as you will by the Chinese and hope you come back with some form of backbone.
