Re: Higher Laws
If rights are determined by the state, and if the state does not consent with "sky fairies" what is the source of state sanctioned morality?
common consent. Since most poeple don't want to get murdered when they form a society they outlaw killing within the society.

my daughter
What if I want to kiss your 7 year old daughter?
There's nothing wrong with that right?
She's my daughter, if I think it wrong I can enforce it with the law.
You have also usurped parental responsibility.
