If one already has rights, "inherently possessed," why would laws be required to ensure we have.
Laws aren't required for us
to have the rights. Laws are simply our legal recognition of the intrinsic rights human beings have by virtue of being created by God. Laws are human inventions: they are required for practical purposes, to make sure that nobody is permitted to infringe on
the rights we already have, because people do that kind of thing if there are no penalties in place.
But laws cannot confer rights: they can only
recognize them, or
fail to do so.
If rights are real, how can they be infringed?
By 'you', adult human beings, doing the Wrong things.

No matter how you turn it, a right only means, "the way one would like things to be.
But the word 'right' certain does NOT mean this, to me.
In what dictionary, or in what human being's view (besides yours), does the word 'right', ONLY mean;
the way one would like things to be?

" Since no one actually has these mythical rights, men invent governments to make the world the way they think they would like it to be--a world with, "rights."
So, are you saying and claiming here that 'rights' only exist, because of "men"?

When the light turns green, you have a right to proceed, according to the law. Just ignore the car racing toward you that obviously has no intention of stopping, and exercise your right. No one would be so foolish, you think? But everyone who pursues life thinking they have rights is doing the same thing.
There is no such thing as rights!
You claim, a 'right', can ONLY mean,
the way one would like things to be, here you are now claiming there is no such thing as 'rights', which would mean, to you, 'there is no such thing as the way one would like things to be', which is OBVIOUSLY NOT true, AT ALL.
So, if you want to be FULLY UNDERSTOOD, then you will have to EXPLAIN this OBVIOUS CONTRADICTION, of yours.
