That was just weak. I have come to expect much more from you Solon. I don't have to explain why Nazi Germany was Evil because in a Theistic model, all men are created in the image of God and are worthy of protection against murder. "All people have an innate sense of right and wrong so long as they don't speak German!" This is your position. Don't expect me to defend it! "Sorry, it is the State which grants those rights and it is the State that provides police and military to safeguard those rights." <<<that belief "that all people had basic human rights and freedoms" was grounded in a God who grants these "rights". Take away that ground and you have nothing left>>> Trying to make a document that explicitly grounds "inherent rights" in God into some sort of atheist manifesto is.... well; you can't be serious?
