You might think so, but evolution and plenty of other have other things to say on that matter. That is opinion on your part, not fact.

We, therefore, on our own do not have any right. We, however, have certain values that God instilled in us over which He gives us rights. They include: life, freedom,

False assertion
I have no desire for god or gods. False assertion, again
My parents might have something else to say about this
Quote:

therefore, no one should destroy human life and human life must be protected at all stages of its existence.

Except God of course, afterall it is allowed to break its own laws with causal drowning and smiting, and when it gives you permission "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live", Stoning of adulters

Protection of human life requires appropriate laws, and provision for food, shelter and health care.

And they come from society and humans, not from a big sky daddy. also health care is a dodgy issue if you live in the US and are not really well off.
Quote:

God gives us freedom to choose, so that we may have His peace and joy by accepting His life of unconditional love.

Another false assertion
Quote:

No one should, therefore, deprive another human being of freedom.

does that include murders, rapists and kiddie fiddlers. Plus didn't Jesus say that you shouldn't beat your slave too much? Does that mean Jesus was for slavery?

God gives us a desire to love Him and be one with Him. No one should, therefore, interfere with another person's religious life or worship. God gave us dignity by creating us in His own divine image(Genesis 1:27) ; giving us His Spirit (ability to love) (Ezekiel 36:27); and by becoming our Father (Matthew 6:9). We must, therefore, respect the dignity of every human being and treat them as our own brothers and sisters.

Oh dear, resorting to scripture. Never a good way to back up an argument. Plus you appear to have cherry picked the good bits. How about the smiting and beating of slaves and the killing of those who want to go back to Egypt because wandering in the desert is rather boring, and we had a better life in Egypt.
