WHY WE'RE SHOCKING THE UN (Letter to Dom Post, April 25)



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.
