Human rights have become an alternative law code, replacing Christian jurisprudence and God’s law
From ChristianGovernance eletter – December 8, 2012
ChristianGovernance has always argued that human rights is incompatible with God’s law, that human rights is a distinct law code for Humanism at odds with Christian jurisprudence and Biblical law. As Humanism has increasingly replaced Canada’s Christian ethos, human rights commissions and tribunals have gained strength against Canada’s primary justice system; human rights have gained quasi-constitutional status, trumping ordinary law. We see this trend in other western nations as well. This recent article – “It is your basic human right to agree with this column” – illustrates the expanding realm of human rights as Canada’s humanists increasingly see this language as the dominant means of articulating their ethics.
The problem with human rights is much greater than the particulars of any individual ethic. The system is faulty and anti-biblical as well. It is predicated on group rights or positive rights, affirmative action and parity of outcome; state-ist ideology which depends on the civil magistrate using force to restructure society and redistribute income. It is antithetical to Biblical principles and dynamics such as equality before the law and equal opportunity.
Human rights also represents the infantilization of humanity, giving expression to the deconstruction of the family and organic social relations. The nanny state – or the Mammy and Pappy State – of socialism looms large with the human rights legal and ethical paradigm. Controversies that were once resolved within families by parents, or through dialogue, arbitration and negotiation within churches, community associations and local communities are now addressed increasingly through litigation at provincial and even national levels, providing precedents with implications for large jurisdictions of people.
This human rights system is fundamental to the modern homosexualist movement (to the point that these self-absorbed fundamentalists demand stroking even at the expense of scientific responsibility to protect the nation’s blood donation system), betraying the inherently state-ist nature of the homosexual industry. But this creeping totalitarianism reaches much wider than homosexualism. We saw it recently in the use of human rights to push for the cutting down of acorn trees to address nut allergies among school children. (This request has since been withdrawn by the parent.) We see it now in a human rights complaint filed over the use of music to sing the national anthem in Toronto’s Catholic schools. Click here for another example of this mentality. What we are seeing is the infantilization of Canadian adults – the extension of the home to the wider society and even to the state by those from disfunctional families who now project parental characteristics and expectations onto the state, onto politicians and judges. It is a bizarre dynamic, but it illustrates the far-reaching implications of family breakdown and parental irresponsibility.
If Canadians want to restore freedom and justice in Canada, we need to get our act together in the home, “graduating” real adults into the world – God-fearing, self-confident, service-minded, disciplined, visionary men and women. You don’t produce such progeny through passive parenting, greed, selfishness, envy, institutionalized child care and government schooling. The latter approach to parenting produces insecure, dependency-oriented boys and girls who prefer security over liberty, and are willing to support social welfare states, theft-based taxation and big civil government programs to backstop their anticipated failure at life.
