Do you believe in "rights"? And do they exist naturally or are they made up by man?
A life is worth only as much as it gives, criminals don't give they take . A life is a precious thing, as long as you don't hurt anyone or intend to then you have the right to live. When you kill someone for example you don't just take thier life but you take someones father , brother, son, husband away that will never come back, I belive this right to live is one that occurs naturally right when the egg and sperm meet.
Once again, jreyes, you've presented a great answer. I will reward you with a follow!
The answer is: Both. People have natural rights (some say God given rights) to breathe, eat, and live. But humans are flawed. History is rife with examples of one human trying to dominate another. The result is that some people have a better life than others. Which leads to: Human created rights.
These are rights created by humans as an equalizer for the less fortunate. That's why we have laws -- to protect the weak and underprivileged. And here it gets crazy. Some religions and cultures create "laws" that favor men over women. Some judges, who interpret these laws, are swayed by political influences so that rights favor a specific objective.
But not all rights can be enforced. It's simply impossible. No nation, no government, can be all things to all people. So generally the rights of "the greater good" prevail. Right now, with massive migrations of peoples from poorer countries into developed nations, rights are being reinterpreted and challenged creating upheaval.

I can understand the positives of putting your faith in such and such religion, which is why I do not think religion as a whole should be completely eradicated, however in this day and age I honestly wouldn't mind if it was.My question is this: why does religion NEED to exist? If you say "So...

Atheists, can you make an argument for god's existence?They say that, in order to understand both sides of an issue, you must know enough that you could argue for the other side. It's a common practice in speech/debate classes. So this question is for atheists; can you make a convincing argument...

Do you believe all men are created equal?They say all men are equal. I beg to differ, we may be equal spiritually, but I am sure our physical capabilities and intellectual capabilities will never be the same. Some people are just born gifted.
