I wouldn’t personally call human rights a convenient fiction. I’d call them burdening facts. We can ignore them, like we can ignore any fact. At our own peril- and in the case of human rights…usually at some else’s peril. I have a maximalist stance on the subject. So, for me - things like poverty and hunger need to be abolished. This isn’t convenient - nor is it fiction. Consider the question you asked “Which ones” - you’ve contextualized the set as negotiable- but the way I see it…it isn’t. The answer is all of them. The ones I can come up with and the ones that no one has thought of yet. They don’t depend on peoples opinions..or a gods opinions…or even a gods existence.
So we start in different places, very different places. It’s no surprise that I view Christian advocacy in a different light. What has it ever done but play and profit marginally supporting one human right in a negotiation to deprive us of others? -can- it actually do anything else..and still be more than nominal Christianity?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
