Did God write the constitution?

[bongsaway]

I keep hearing the term 'our god given rights', was the god entity the author of the constitution?

I need a good christian republican to help me out with an explanation please. Where do our rights come from, this god entity or the constitution?

That's like asking why do we have two arms.

 

[rahl]

rights are a philosophical human constructs. They don't come from any god or any constitution. The constitution simply enshrined into law, what a bunch of people decided they wanted their rights to be.

 

[Mr Person]

Nah, I did. And none of you found the Easter Egg.​

I know a few of them. Go to google. Type: Do a barrel roll

Not at all.
Here's news for you- God didn't give you arms either.

not a republican


did god write the constitution, of course not

"god-given rights" is saying simply to explain everybody's rights but its made upand subjective like all rights, legal laws and morals etc

I didn't claim otherwise.

Being an atheist I wouldn't have used the word "God" but I think the idea that there are certain basic rights that everyone has is spot-on.
It's a good start for any nation's constitution.

Not being a christian or a republican, I can still take a guess.

The Constitution was written to affirm and protect the rights given by god.

Does "Endow by their Creator . . ." strike a familiar note?

Speaking a Crepitus, Greek God of Flatulence, I say No. No god wrote the Constitution.

What about God-given rights? Do you think God gave you rights? I mean, I don't know every word of the constitution but I have a problem believing that guys who were influenced by John Locke, the founder of liberalism, thought that God bestowed rights on people.

No. What is it?

It's called 'natural rights' by John Locke, the founder of liberalism. There's no God involved.

 

[Bullseye]

Where inalienable rights come from.

It's a figure of speech. That was not meant to be taken literally.

Jefferson's creator was not the abrahamic god. Jefferson thought that the orthodox christian religion was absurd and we would all be better off after it was discarded as a myth.

“And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away all this artificial scaffolding...​

So what?

Where inalienable rights come from.

From the creator? You sure you were created?
See, I think that's bullshit. I don't think we were created or that whatever created us endowed us with inalienable rights. I've seen to many examples of rights being rescinded, removed, trampled on and ignored by the government that I know the whole concept is just pie-in-the-sky pap fed to schoolkids to make them proud, loyal citizens while the government deals out rights like playing cards and takes them back on a whim.
All of your rights are alienable. You can't name one specific right that hasn't been taken from American citizens by the government. Specific, mind you, not general like the right to life, liberty, pursuit... wait a minute. Japanese Americans. Liberty.

No. These are god-given rights to establish that government and man should not be permitted to take them away giving the people the right to fight and even kill to keep them.

They come from nature they are self-evident. They can't come from government or a piece of paper because if they do they're not rights they're privileges that can be taken away from you and you can't do anything about it.
