    Our rights are inherent and unalienable. They do not come from govt but rather from our God-given nature as human beings pursuing happiness.

        I don't know about that. Where are these rights for everyone else? Surely God doesn't just care about American freedom.

        You have misread or misinterpreted my words. The point is that rights are inherent to all human beings.

        The correct response is that marriage, whether straight or gay, is no business of the govt. You can define 'marriage' however you want.

        There is no such thing as a 'right to marriage' for either gay or straight people except that people are free to form relationships.

        It is a negative right, meaning the right to be left alone, not a positive right, meaning everyone must respect and agree with definition.

        So if you don't believe in a god, you don't have rights? Just trying to understand this logic.

        Of course you do, rights are part of your humanity. The point is they don't come from government.

        I agree with that. However, I would argue laws are there to also protect those rights. Cannot exercise at expense of others.

        How do laws about drug consumption or immigration protect your natural rights of life and liberty?

        Depends on the law. But for what it's worth I'm all for drug legalization and open borders (especially if the welfare state is abolished).

        Right some laws protect natural rights. Laws against murder and violence and theft and fraud. So that's like a 1/20th of them.

        Where did I say it was? Just pointing out that it's not "wild" or uncommon to say that.

        Is it intentional that you would violate the cooperative principle while discussing conversational implicature? Now that's wild...
