Natural law = path of least resistance

>>2131962
what are rights?

>>2131994
The Natural rights given up include many things starting with the right to execute justice on your own behalf and the right to do what you will in defense of your personal property and family/community. This includes aggression. The way that John Locke words it, it seems almost ancap essentially. Like the NAP need not exist because God gives us that.

Who even gave God the authority to grant people rights? A right is essentially a promise that some entity won't prevent you from doing something. And sure, God won't prevent you from defending yourself, but he ALSO won't prevent you from murdering your neighbor in cold blood, so is that a natural right too?

The judicial system and law enforcement seems pretty appealing now doesn't it?

It's not an actual right, it's just a term used by political scientists to derive their political theorems.
