You’re in a conversation and someone start talking about rights: “human rights,” “women’s rights,” “gay rights,” “trans rights,” or maybe they refer to things like healthcare, income, or a job as “rights.”
What would you say?
Definitions matter. In conversations, we often find ourselves using the same vocabulary as others, but not the same dictionary. To have good conversations, we must first clarify our definitions.
So, the next time someone uses the word “rights” without defining it, here are three things to remember:
1. A “right” doesn’t mean “something I really want”
2. Rights come from God, not from the government
3. There is no right to take away someone else’s rights
