The UN Human Rights Committee would not have been so shocked, perhaps, at
our human rights record (April 24) if it knew our church attendance record. New
Zealand rates as the most pagan country in the world and boy, does it
show!
But maybe, like our Justice Minister Andrew Little, who was “surprised by
their language” they simply don’t see the correlation between human rights and
religion.
Christianity teaches us to put the rights of others before our own,
but our so-called Justice Minister for example, puts the ‘rights’ of
mothers before the rights of their own children, and the ‘rights’ of people who
are afraid to die before the rights of people who want to live.
Little reflects the values of the people he governs, who by and large have
forgotten God.
New Zealand will not meet “its obligations under the
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural RIghts” until we
remember God and the commandments he gave, and commit to living by those
commandments.
