So either people are humans because of an absolute truth and we have rights based on that truth or we are humans because we say we are and we have no right other than the ones we make up. If the latter is right then being caged and leashed aren't wrong because someone can make up other rights based on their beliefs.

._.

Humans are animals. That's the fucking taxonomy of our species. We are humans because we are humans. We don't need to say so.

Yes, the only laws that exist are the ones we've made up! Why do you think they change all the time?

Right and wrong, rights, laws and truth are all just our perception. And why wouldn't they be? What, do you think morality is some sort of an intrinsic property of the universe? We made them up, or rather we evolved them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

And as to being caged and leashed, your god doesn't exactly object to that, either.

Tell me:

What other rights would we have that we didn't make up?
What does truth mean?
Can you demonstrate objective morality?

Who made up the idea of taxonomy?

If we make the rules and everything is subjective then the rules have no true authority. They are meaningless and aren't even as stable as the waves of the sea. Why even follow or care about them because they are just the imaginations of some people who are neither right nor wrong they just have a personal preferance.

What do you know about my God and how could I even trust your system of judgement if it is just made up?

The rights given by God which are immutable

Truth is conformable to fact; in accordance with the actual state of things; correct; not false, erroneous, inaccurate, or the like; as, a true relation or narration; a true history; a declaration is true when it states the facts.

These are a part of the moral law which is not subjective to any person
A person should be trustworthy and loyal
A man should protect his family
You should give respect where it is due.
When you are able you should help those in need.
You do not murder or harm the innocent and helpless
