    What ‘RoboCop’ and the Bible Teach About Rights3

    One of my favorite movies growing up was RoboCop, Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 dystopian classic. The movie, which was probably way too violent for a 10-year-old, depicts a fictional future in which Detroit is ravaged by violent crime and on the verge of social collapse.
