Human rights vs. the Bible

Understanding human rights:
Scripture is authoritative in that it is identity shaping. There is no concept of “basic human rights” in the bible. This is an Enlightenment concept and while some of them have Judeo-Christian roots, the bible itself does not have any concept of human rights the way that we do today. 
Daniel Lowe

The Bible dictates what we can and cannot do as children of God, not what we have the right to do. So, if you are of a religion, I believe you should give more credence to the Constitution than you give to the Bible, Koran or Torah, otherwise you have no rights and you are nothing more than a slave to your religion. Just remember, the next time you demand your right to religious freedom, you won't get an answer from God, you will find the answer in the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence (DOI).  Honor the US constitution and you will be rewarded by the freedoms our Democracy provides.
