| Listen, Zhavric, however ridiculous you think basing policy decisions on a "cosmic jewish zombie," you'll find any other bases equally ridiculous.
That's the point. You say religion is horrible means of evaluating claims because it has no basis in reality.
Neither does Lockean rights theory. Our Founding Fathers themselves, in the attempt to explain the existence of natural rights, had to appeal to divine creation.
The existence of natural rights is the most unsupported claim you will ever find. And even if you don't accept that it IS the most unsupported claim, it is at least the equal of any other philosophical worldview.
If you don't accept religious argumentation because of its lack of factual basis, you can't accept natural rights theory either. If you're fine with that conclusion, then we agree. |
