The Constitution is not eternal as we can modify it. But natural rights are eternal. The Constitution is written to form a government to protect them.
...
A right is a pre-existing principle of freedom.
...
The concept of natural rights does not require any god and predates Christianity.
What is your
logical argument to support these statements?
Are you even being serious? I am certain that you get the argument and are just playing the duck.
I was being serious as I did not understand your point. A spear can be either an offensive or defensive weapon. Same with a shield.
You're trivializing the distinction by appropriating a
relative definition that is irrelevant to the discussion. An iron, candlestick, or pipe, can be all used as weapons similarly. They can also be used defensively in similar contexts as well. But why doesn't a dictionary define these terms in those respects. You won't find the definition of an
iron as
a device that can be used as either a defensive or offensive weapon to harm or protect oneself. in any dictionary, even though they are true. You're evading reasonable argumentation by diverting the ordinary meaning of what weapons or defenses actually
functionally and
intentionally mean.
Just because different sides declare each other evil doesn't mean that the concepts of good and evil are arbitrary. That communists declared Nazis evil and Nazis declared Communists evil didn't stop them both from being evil. And the genocide of the North American natives and the slavery of the Africans is not trivialized in modern America, it is something taught to every American in elementary school.
Define
good and
evil;
right and
wrong.
