"Its easy to preach & talk from a long distance in absentee mode like their absentee God ."

AMEN.

Society determines rights and also which behaviours to promote and which to condemn. In general this follows a certain pattern because after all, people are people and the same things make them hurt and the same things make them feel well--(like a big hunk of antelope going down into the gut)!

It is horrible living under the thumb of another person or group--living as slaves. All people know this. It feels great to be free and to have some rational rules to play and work under. All people know this.

If God Does Not Exist, There Can Be No Animal or Human Rights

Of course you are errecting a Staw Man that you can feel good about knocking down. The actual argument is that "if God does not exist, then morality is just a human convention, that is to say, morality is wholly subjective and non-binding." Craig Ignoring and deliberately misrepresenting an opponents arguement is a sure sign of a position in BIG trouble.
