Quote:Yes - people tend to look down on hypocritical positions, at least in others.That's not really what an appeal to hypocrisy means John.....but yes, we do generally look down on hypocrisy.
Quote:Already explained - via creation. I don't really know how to explain why creation confers rights.Then how can you claim that it does? -In the future, if you can't explain something, just be upfront about it. It's not like I won't keep drilling it down until that becomes evident anyway.-
Quote: Most cultures seem to take that as self-evident. If I create something, I can generally do as I please with it, but you can't do anything with it without my permission.Some things, sure (not people, not here at least), but again, you've mis-stepped and invoked what is as though that is what ought to be.
Quote:Parents did not create their own bodies, and so cannot claim full creation of their children. That's why we have the separate word procreate for the situation. That said, most societies give greater rights over children to the children's parents than to anyone else.Garbage, right off the bat, until you can explain how creation confers rights to begin with. Ignoring that, god didn't create me either, so.......where are we now?
Quote:It hasn't been established that we have any rights for God to abrogate.You don't have any established rights? FFS man, where do you live? I might know someone who can get you a greencard.
