What is there to "feel?" Is there some reason we shouldn't let our basic human tolerance apply here as well?
> God-given, huh.
Typically, when used by governments, it's meant to mean rights that aren't endowed upon you by the state and thus aren't within the purview of the state to police or remove.
- glonq 4y agoGeorge Carlin has a great classic bit on "God-given" rights.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoExcept when I say it's God-given and the state disagrees, then I don't get the right. When states do it, they do it so that they don't become the object of frustration when they don't grant the right. Anyone believing it (god given, or natural, or universal human) is willingly letting the state dupe them into this arrangement at their expense and the benefit of the government.
