I don't think they were real people or that these story are any more than parable. I have talked about this many times throughout this forum.
The idea of rights is consistent with my Catholic beliefs.
Okay, let's say that the Bible stories are ALL parables, and that the threats, the genocide, etc. in the Bible are all just stories to emphasize a moral point. Which of them, in your opinion, show that God extends universal rights to all of mankind? Which rights are they, and if you aren't too busy, which passages, lead you to believe this?
