Saying our rights are god-given (endowed by a creator), or granted under the US Constitution - all of that is euphemism. It's just a convenience of language.
Nobody "gives" us our basic human rights - life, liberty, pursuit of happiness - we're born with them. So what we do is create institutions of law to keep powerful people from denying us those rights.
If we allow Mike Johnson's imaginary friend to inform us about our rights, then we're opening the door for Mr Johnson to tell us he gets to fuck us out of our rights because that same imaginary friend said so.
You believe what you want to believe, and sorry not sorry, but fuck you and the god you rode in on, Skeezix.
