An excellent question to pose…
My take on this is likely to be so much different than that of most because I believe strongly that "God given right" is an invalid statement. God doesn't grant rights, people do. In the United States it is a "right" to speak out freely against government, in our Constitution it states that that right was granted by God…Clearly however this right was given to us by the people who drafted the Constitution. This "God given right" applies only to a handful of Democratic countries and an extremely small percentage of the world's population. I suppose one could argue that God granted us this right by having us born as American citizens, but that is quite possibly the most insular and elitist position possible to adopt. If you apply the logic forward the result of that statement is "God grants the right of free speech to Americans and any one else who happens to be born in a country where my rights are allowed". No, people/government grant rights not God.
I have a friend who lives in Estonia. Did God grant him the right to fish the Hoh river? He doesn't even know it exists, but if he fishes it with me when he comes to visit I am sure he will feel priveleged to have been able to do so. If you live in Forks is it a "God given right" to fish the Hoh? If so then why can the state close the fishery on a whim? What happened to our "God given rights" to fish? Is the state more powerful than God?
Clearly (at least to me) fishing is a privelege granted those that have access to the resource.
Now, who wants to debate whether God exists in the first place...
