If god established only individual rights such that we are to look after ourselves, what then is the purpose of life? I hardly think this selfish philosophy is the philosophy of any god I would worship and makes no sense to me if god is “good”. It only makes sense to me that he would put us here to learn not only to protect ones own rights, but also those of his brothers.

Take the example given a while back. You are living your own marry life when you notice 10 men that are being held as slaves in a salt mine. Individual rights philosophy holds that this is not your problem, and you should just continue on your marry way. After all, this is not interfering with your individual rights. Is this what your god wants you to do? Or are you to do what you can to help others who’s individual rights are at stake? This would be an acknowledgment of positive rights where you have a responsibility to look after others, and not just yourself. In other words, the foundation of collective rights. If you believe you should just go on your marry way, are you really living by the golden rule?
