I thought this was an important enough clarification to merit reposting here.
Scoot: “Rights” are the great lie of the last thousand years.
Commenter: If there are no “rights” then there is no Right. Is this what you are really insisting?
Scoot: No. “Rights” are the classically liberal imitation of Natural Law. Natural Law is Truth, and Truth points to what is right and what is wrong.
The Bill of Rights in USA, for example. The government is saying God gives these rights and cannot take them away: The right to speech, the right to bear arms, etc, and the government is positioning themselves as the protectors of those God given rights. But the way the law works, is that you have the right to speech but it is illegal to, for example, shout ‘FIRE!’ in a crowded theatre. So you have the right to speech, but not ALL speech. You have the right to bear arms, but not ALL arms.
What the government calls ‘rights’ are actually privileges which the government allows us to exercise. Natural Law remains True regardless of whether the government acts to protect or detract it. The right to Life is granted by God, not by the government. It will always be right to defend and preserve human life. It will not always be guaranteed by government.
