Atheists: You know that questions about child abuse are really two-sided coins, right?

The Ten Commandments uphold God's views on what is right and what is wrong and the Bible absolutely upholds the sanctity of human life. The Bible says that man is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Being created in the image of God means that murder is a most heinous crime.

“Whoever sheds the blood of man, / by man shall his blood be shed; / for in the image of God / has God made man” (Genesis 9:6). The severity of the punishment underscores the severity of the offense. The Mosaic Law is full of examples of how God expects everyone to be treated humanely.

The Ten Commandments contain prohibitions against murder, theft, coveting, adultery, and bearing false testimony. These five laws promote the ethical treatment of our fellow man. Other examples in the Law include commands to treat immigrants well (Exodus 22:21; Leviticus 19:33-34), to provide for the poor (Leviticus 19:10; Deuteronomy 15:7-8), to grant interest-free loans to the poor (Exodus 22:25), and to release all indentured servants every fifty years (Leviticus 25:39-41).

Whether these can be described as "natural rights" of people is a bit more tricky, because the primary purpose of the Ten Commandments was to ensure God's chosen people upheld God's laws. God was not addressing the godless. But then we have Jesus expounding on how we should treat our fellow humans - with compassion and dignity, etc. I did a bit of research, and I came across an article on a similar subject which sums it up thus: "Today, Christians are still working to combat human rights abuses and to promote the welfare of all people.

As they preach the Gospel around the world, they are digging wells, planting crops, giving clothes, dispensing medicine, and providing education for the destitute. This is as it should be. There is a sense in which the Christian has no “rights” of his own, because he has surrendered his life to Christ.

Christ “owns” the believer. “You are not your own; you were bought at a price” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). But God’s authority over us does not negate God’s image in us.

Our submission to the will of God does not annul God’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 23:39). In fact, we serve God most when we serve others (Matthew 25:40)." Yes, there are basic human rights, but in the light of the Ten Commandments we understand that any rights should be viewed from God's perspective and not those of sinful men.

All rights of a man are set by God, the Creator, just as if you were to build a house you would set where the doors are, what rooms are for what, etc. Man cannot give rights, they are only from God. Because we are equal, one man's opinion cannot be forced onto another legally. This is why we must understand all rights are from God, not man, then we know no man has the legal right to take them away.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
