Seems to this believer that the introduction of such a lofty and noble concept as human rights into the human gestalt -- despite the inhuman depotism that was passed off as God behaving badly Old Testament -- is proof positive that there must be a GOD who decided to correct the record about who or what it is, and what GOD considered reasonable behavior for mankind to visit upon his fellow men.
During that time when Christendom totally dominated Western Civilization, man's inhumanity to man, including slavery and torture was standard operating procedure.
I believe that GOD was so insensed that such inhuman treatment was done in his name that he broke the power of the CHURCH over our Western culture.
Yeah, that's right, fellow believers. GOD detroyed the franchise of the Holy Church.
I'll say that again for those of you who don't quite get the responsibility that GOD put on YOU to get it right.
GOD broke down the power that he'd granted to the Church because the CHURCH ITSELF didn't believe in the dignity of man (AKA human rights) as taught by Jesus Christ.
GOD broke down the power that he'd granted to the Church because the Holy Church itself had become an unholy den of iniquity.
ONLY HUMAN BEINGS can make human rights a reality on this earth.
God grants us all FREE WILL, remember?
Hence, no matter what you or do NOT believe about GOD, the establishment and practice of human rights are the responsiblity of MAN, not GOD.
