There's only one right... and that is the right to pursue the life granted by God, the right which comes with the sacred responsibility to not exercise right to the detriment of the right of another...

Where are these rights codified?

What's the point? Where's the relevance to a variance? What you believe has no effect on Human Rights...

If human rights are eternal, then the implication is that they are also unchanging. And yet, our perspective on human rights has in fact changed a great deal. Thus, these rights are not eternal, but rather, based upon changing human perceptions.
But wait. Why didn't they have rights in this society a hundred years ago?
Then why were humans allowed to enslave other humans?

Human Rights are those things to which human beings are entitled to do by virtue of the life granted them by God, they rest on the divine authority of God and come with sacred responsibilities, which when violated result in one forfeiting their rights.

Where were these rights codified by your God?

So what I hear you saying Kitty is that in the absence of God, Human Rights are a concept which can be anything... which would necessarily include nothing... which tends to render what ever concept falls into those parameters as "MEANINGLESS"

I'm saying that human rights have always existed outside of God and the basis for these rights is human societies, not an imaginary deity.
