Getting Rights right
Have you noticed that everyone seems to have a “right” that is special to their particular situation? If people don’t think they are getting a fair shake, they somehow claim some sort of “right” to allow them to do what is right in their own eyes. They don’t even think about what is right or wrong, they just want to have their “rights.” The whole bathroom rights controversy is one such thing. North Carolina tries to protect its people by saying that you have to use the restroom of the sex you were born with. Now everybody thinks they have a “right” to use whatever bathroom they want. This has gotten to be lunacy. It doesn’t even meet the straight face test. Sometimes you have to just buck up and draw the line in the sand.
The Declaration of Independence is one of the most succinct documents explaining rights. It says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
So, as mankind, we are created equal. We have God-given rights to Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness. We formed government to protect those rights. And if the government doesn’t do that, we have a right to abolish it and institute new government which is to protect our Safety and Happiness. Pretty simple, right? We give up some freedom for government to protect our general welfare and secure our rights to Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness. The government is in place to make sure those who have might do not trample those who don’t. We are to be able to live our lives however we see fit, in peace, so long as we do not do harm to others. Laws are established to ensure this, not to be a terror to good people.
How is making someone use the public restrooms of their own gender harmful to the general welfare? In reality, there is more harm to the general public by forcing it to accept the unnatural–risking sexual assault, and mental anguish. Jesus said in Luke 6:31, “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” In other words, do no harm. These “right-mongers” shout “social justice” for special treatment to the detriment of others. The acceptance of perversion cannot be forced any more than morality can be legislated. Remember, communism is the abolishment of all religion, morals and property ownership. This is all part of the plan. And the politicians supporting this are exposing themselves rightly.
