If freedom was a "God given right" there wouldn't be people in jail

The meaning hasn't been altered at all, it just has slightly more religious overtones when phrased as "God given rights" (natural as opposed to legal rights). Whether or not the term is misused by some in contemporary nomenclature or the theory is sound has no bearing, the issue you're "perceiving" is nonexistent. A large number of the founders of the US were Deists incidentally.

The meaning HAS been altered. As a matter of fact it has more to do with the context in which it was placed instead of the actual writing. The issue i'm perceiving is existent because it is part our society and the political make-up of it.

I dont really get the problem? are you saying it should either be inherinet natural rights or god given privliges?

or are you just pissed that religion is connected with rights?

There's no argument, because you're not even attempting to formulate one. Your assertion that natural rights and "God given rights" are distinct in political theory is blatantly false, so what else is there to discuss? I'm secure I know what I'm talking about and you don't, I don't feel the desire to feed the trolls any longer
