OK, they were your points - I stand corrected.
BTW : the questions you posed did remind me of an American stereotype we
often see here. What I mean are those who say that they have "god given"
rights. I always think that, in an agnostic culture, by saying they have a
"god given" right to do anything they simply are saying that they are
unwilling to justify themselves or their situation.
