If morality is merely something that is decided by society, then how can you claim we have a right to anything? Now I know the Founding Fathers were not devout Christians by any means, but they strongly believed in inalienable rights, which are imparted in us by a Supreme Being. Doesn't mean they are right of course, but if you argue that a woman has a right to chose, who says she has a right to chose? Herself? But I thought society was supposed to decide? Where does a homosexual's right to marry the same sex come from?
There are four ways to govern a society: 1) Representative government (i.e. states will disagree and there will be no uniformity) 2) Mob rule (51% of the people oppress 49%) 3) A leader rules (Supreme Court, President, dictator, etc) 4) Anarchy, no one tells us what to do...
Which one is more in tune with what you believe? Or did I miss one? And just if you think "no one can tell us what to do" then how can there even be a co-existant, governed society?
