there is no such thing as rights.. its a human idea. there are no such things as natural rights. nature doesnt give rights. the only thing that matters is dominance. without dominance, nobody follows any rights. thats why we need to have a powerful judicial system. the reason god was brought into the idea of human rights is because of the idea that god has absolute power, therefore absolute dominance. the idea of god doesnt weaken us, it empowers us. or at least the ones who have the same belief. power is simply a numbers game. the more people you control, the more power you have. if the people feel you have power, they will obey. alternatively, the more power is given to people, the stronger they feel. the idea of rights is empowering to people. if you feel like you have the right to do something, that means you have to power do do it. so the best way for a leader to have as much power as possible, he has to give as much power as possible. thats why the belief in god is so strong. we believe that god is just and that god gives us power, therefore we follow his way. clearly, the idea is not a bad one because there is nobody that is more powerful then god, even if he doesnt exist, because nobody has more followers. thats also why some leaders tried to protray themselves as a god. just look at how the japanese emperors were followed. thats because they were believed to be gods. the reason, the judeo christian god is the one who is followed by most people is because the foolowers believe he is powerful. if we believe that our rights came from absolute power then those rights have to be forced absolutely.
