Questions that I have on the subject of Principles, Beliefs, Opinions, and Natural Rights
What is the difference between belief, opinion, principle and natural rights?
If an opinion is simply a subjective belief, and principles are founded on a chain of beliefs that coincide, then can principle be founded on subjective beliefs? Or are principles entirely objective?
Where does the chain of reasoning show its subjectiveness?
Can the foundation of a set of principles be weak? Or will that merely mean that someone has no principle at all?
Where do natural rights come from? Do they come from God? Are they given to you by an institution? Does society emphasize specific moral rights? Or do moral rights move society in a general direction?
What allows someone to conclude that something is morally wrong or right if it is not founded on solid principle?
If your moral beliefs are subject to what is legal and illegal, then does the institution that governs you tell you where your moral compass lies?
If the only human rights that you have are given to you by your government, then do you really have rights? Or are they borrowed?
