Message: <blockquote data-quote="perfecxionX" data-source="post: 6371357" data-attributes="member: 572854">Typically people employ two different arguments to defend a philosophical basis for "rights."  One is a theistic/moral argument (see Locke's 2nd treatise), the other is a utilitarian argument (see Mill's On Justice).  Clearly you've chosen the former, and the OP has chosen the latter.However, im not sure ive seen someone defend a moral argument for rights and still say that they are not objective?  You say rights are not objective and yet they are endowed by a creator?  Would that be to say that the creator endows different individuals with different rights?</blockquote>
