God created me and has given me all that I have, including my rights. Thanks be to God (the very purpose of tomorrow's feast).
I am not saying they anyone else must believe this. I do.
At the very least, however, your rights pre-existed any government, and even if you do not believe that they come from God, they are part of your nature and are your natural rights. I tend to use the term "natural rights" because that term is understood by those who believe rights come from God and those who do not--and will not cause religious differences to interfere with the discussion of rights that we bring into the collective with us and retain.
