Right to Live

Many people will likely agree that marriage is essentially a legal rather than a religious matter. Along those lines, it takes a slight stretch of imagination to realize that it is the government and not God that gives us humans the right to live. 

I consider it overly human-centered and arbitrary, based on lack of any rights in a typical prey-predator relationship in the wild, to assert that God (instead of the government) has given us the right to live.


Likewise, though I generally consider myself to be pro-life and not for abortion, in my view and where applicable, it’s the government (not God) that gives a fetus the right to live and not get aborted. After all, life does not begin at conception – it only propagates, like it has been doing since billions of years ago.
