Polycarp

We long ago established that the Green case was a vindication of human rights law. Why can you only remember the bits of the truth that suit your narrow mind?

So if human rights are about:
It’s about the rights to freedom from torture.
It’s about the rights to education.
It’s about the rights to freedom from slavery.
It’s about recognition as a person before the law.
It’s about the rights to freedom of movement.
It’s about the rights to freedom from persecution.
The list goes on….

Then who initiated the belioef in these rights in the first place and what was the philosophy that motivated equal justice and acceptance of all men, the desire to teach all people the truth, who was it that came to release from slavery every captive. Who is it that originally condemned injustice, hatred and injury of spirit and body. They are all values expressed and commissioned by Jesus Christ. He did condemn opressive religion also and taught all men are free only when they happily choose their destiny.

If that's true philo, why does Polyboaz hate them so?

Because, Bugsy, Polyboaz denies the nice version of Jesus. His tastes run towards the wrathful, vengeful, fire and brimstone, pointed sticks in your eyeballs, covered in honey and left on an anthill, first stone casting, first male child sacrificing, flesh eating bits of the story.

oh, and any of the bits with naked people in them.

Dear Bugsy.. Merry Christmas :)

No..I don't attack "human rights" as you think...I attack the ABUSE of the concept by both the gay community and the Islamic mob... they try to use the human right concept to marginalize and attack Christians.

It is THAT aspect of so called 'Human Rights' law which I detest for what I hope are obvious reasons.

I don't have a problem with all those other things being 'human rights' although I hasten to add that there is no such thing as a 'right' in this world unLESS you accept it is a declaration from the Almighty.

Anything other is a privilege based on a power framework.. a concession from those who wield that power.

But let's look at one GREAT example of... your list.

"Freedom from persecution"

Now..in the Ake Green case.. who persecuted who?

Clearly..

1/A pastor, is exericising his freedom of religious belief and is reading from his sacred text in his own church to people he believes share that faith.

2/ An individual in that assembly who does not share the faith of the congregation decides that he does not like what it preached.

3/ He complains.. lays charges, and the pastor is convicted and sentenced to Jail....

THAT.. dear Bugsy is 'PERSECUTION'.

It is abundantly clear that vested interests (In this case the Swedish political establishment trying to suck up to the Gay movement..possibly because of a critical power balance in a marginal seat) and they make a law which is AGAINST a specific human right...ie "Freedom of belief"

Change pastor with 'imam' and church for 'mosque' and then everyone can see what you are Polyboazy.
