Holy fuck... I never thought I'd see anyone say something like that. Well, if you don't want your rights I guess you can waive them. Check with the State Department or the DoJ.
Oh, and don't go bitching and whining when you're searched without probable cause, the government confiscates your property for no reason, the military garrisons your house and you're sent to prison without trial.
"God didn't give us rights, he gave us responsibilities."
That's because your god has the foresight of a gnat, despite supposedly being omniscient.
Then live up to those responsibilities: be a good steward of this planet, love your neighbor, love your enemy, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, give all you have to the poor, and so on. Doing so should not infringe on anyone else's rights (which DO exist).

Riiight. Then, if you have no rights, give me all your stuff, and step directly into prison, it's not like you have a right to have a trial before being convicted as a complete moron.
I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that Cognac's own statement has fuck-all to do with the Constitution, and also that the comment is not to be construed as the beliefs of all USAians (I hesitate to say most, as we do seem to have an unusually large fuckwit population willing to give up their rights willy-nilly). We prefer to keep our rights as guaranteed by the Constitution rather than let the government abrogate them without protest.
No right to free practice?

Oh, you meant you can only have the rights YOU liked?
Damn.
Yes, Satan is trying to confuse us with his evil compassion and empathy. God, the sociopath, has no need for such things!
You hereby waive the rights to:
Free speech, possession of property, Freedom of religion, Freedom of thought (though you didn't use that one much), Equality, Security of person, Protection from Slavery, Protection from torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, Protection from arbitrary arrest, detention or exile, Right to leave your country, Right to marry, Right to have children, Right of association, Right to rest and leisure and several million more.
In short:
Give me all your stuff, sell your daughter and give me the money, then work yourself to death building my vast piramid, while being whipped for every drop of sweat and/or blood you spill on my ground, and being beaten for every stray though.
Responsibilities, which, ironically, fail to apply to you, it usually seems.
Yes, well the United States was relatively novel in its approach to give people freedoms, rather than restrictions. Most ancient societies worked on the restriction techniques, likes your bronze age god - You shall not s rather than You shall s.
God didn't give us rights, he gave us responsibilities.
God talked to you? How come it wasn't on the Six O'Clock News?
God: oppressor.
Satan: liberator.
Sounds about right. And yet, you will no doubt argue that America is Christian nation despite this idea, won't you?
These people...I grow ill...
Son of a Nonymous,

I was going to, but based on his stats (Joined Apr 2007, 401 posts) I'm afraid this isn't.
I'm sure this prick would love being in Iran. Oh wait, a theocracy is only good when it's a Christian theocracy to this idiot.
Then "freedom of religion" is created by satan? And that would means that religion itself is a tool of satan.
Common sense, you should try it someday.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
