I'm am asking this question to challenge other believers to think about these things from a biblical perspective. Regarding Christians and rights...I understand that we are to abide by the laws of the land, but what about when the laws of the land contradict the laws of God? Also, isn't the surrendering of one's earthly rights for the sake of living for JESUS the basic foundation of Christianity?
James 4:4,7
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God...
Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Regarding politics. If we put our faith in trust in the Lord, and HE is our provider, why the political involvement? How do you know if the candidate elect is of God?
