Technically the government via the constitution, nature provides no "rights" other then to fight and survive and god is only a belief.

Government...they THINK they are God(s) :(
well, God created us with rights. the government likes to think they're God but theyre not. honestly, im just glad they let us keep our rights
ANY freedom we give up, for WHATEVER reason, will NEVER be restored to us. This government thinks they can make better decisions about what's good for us than WE can and they want to take our rights away.
If we let them decide whether or not to purchase a 32 oz. drink, as in NY city, then they win. When THEY win, WE loose. And we loose forever. Do you think they'll stop there? Well do you?
You must be ready to protect your rights or you will surly loose them.
Natural right was the idea. So the founding fathers just put it as the bill of right to keep the gov in check
Our founders believed in natural rights theory. Natural rights are rights not contingent upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of any particular culture or government, and therefore universal and inalienable. In contrast, legal rights are those bestowed onto a person by the law of a particular political and legal system, and therefore relative to specific cultures and governments.
Legal rights may be constitutional, statutory, regulatory, contractual, common-law, or conferred by international human rights law. Legal rights are almost always qualified, whether by implication, by the law which created the right itself or by legal rights held by others. A legal right can be enforced in courts of law against another who has infringed the right. The right may be enforced by a court order or injunction prohibiting the other person or persons from infringing a right, by the awarding of money to compensate the holder of the right. In contrast, natural rights are considered beyond the authority of any government or international body to dismiss. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is an important legal instrument enshrining one conception of natural rights into international soft law. Natural rights were traditionally viewed as exclusively negative rights, whereas human rights also comprise positive rights.
But I research also research answers.
Unfortunately our government believes in a higher power, themselves. We lose more rights every year while the government just keeps on expanding & letting us know what is good for us. It's the same garbage all the time, only the faces change. Nature & God are separate entities in America they have no bearing or effect on laws here, sadly either do the people. Folks think that the government works for them, when was the last time any government official, anywhere, had a clue as to what's going on. We have elected officials that believe they know what's best for us, they must be gods to know what we want without asking us
The answer to your question can be found in the Declaration of Independence. I suggest you read it. Then read it to your relatives, friends and neighbors. Read it 'till you understand it. If you have kids, read it and explain it to them. If you don't then volunteer to read it and explain it to your friends kids. It obviously is not being taught or explained in the schools.
Rights like, the right to vote, or rights like the right to live?
I agree it's...
Both!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator (aka: God) with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
We wouldn't be having this discussion without God. We the people are the government. We just need to remind Washington of this fact. They work for us. We don't work for them. But they don't get it.
