Re: "if a government declares that a law must be followed because, as they claim, it came from God, then you have the former." The 'former'? (You mean God given laws implemented by government as you say, or God given rights which, hopefully, the government is trying to protect in society?) (PS --- I feel confident that any LAW authentically from GOD would respect all RIGHTS given by GOD... for, how could it be otherwise?) Interesting question though: If a government declares that 'God' gave you 'these' rights... or declares that 'God' did NOT give you 'those' rights... what's the difference? In both cases it's a government expressing it's opinion about what 'God' wants.... (I realize that, ultimately, one has to find for oneself God's message... not look to governments to interpret or mediate for you --- uggh. Still, it's nice to have a government that believes that certain human rights are 'inalienable', and spring from a deeper wellspring then mere whim of man....)
