Sacred Rights
There are certain rights, that from time to time become assumed. However, if I were to question some sacred right, such as the right of people to have freedom of speech, most people could quickly find justification for allowing this to be. That it may be justified shows that it is not a sacred right, is not assumed, but that it is reasonable to give.
Such reasonable rights are very common, but are they every right? Can you look to some Higher Power to give you freedom? I think not. So many times people are denied a sacred right by other people, with or without reason. It happens so often that freedom is not the absence of interference, but the presense of protection. People, therefore, grant all rights, and until so there are none.

Ellburt, your argument relies on the assumptions that
1) God does not exists
2) A being that can make moral decisions is not the creator of the universe
Can you prove these?
Sorry about misspelling your name -
Welcome to the blogosphere, BTW. I look forward to your contributions.
Everyone spells my name wrong, for some reason.
Yeah, that comment I made on your post was a little naive. I was just responding to your 'putting yourself on the level with God' arguement.
