This is a talk I gave to a group of lawyers in Canberra at City Legal
It is a key subject which was addressed by Professor Nicholas Arony at a previous City Legal. I responded to his paper and then answered questions. Feel free to join in the discussion. I am continually impressed by how many Christian lawyers there are here in Australia….
A Free People’s Suicide? – The End of Law and Order in the West
Re Law , that interfering busybody , the US Ambassador to Poland, has informed the Polish Govt that LGBT Rights are more important than Christians’ Rights :

What exactly is the difference between human rights and Christian right?
Where do human rights come from? Who determines them?
I am going to presume your comment is somewhat rhetorical, David?
Human rights come from humans. How could they not?
And, although you may disagree, so too Christian rights. (Human rights by any other name) Read the bible – as I am sure you do from time to time. Every/all bestowed rights throughout the text are established and implemented by human beings.
So, in reality, the source of all ‘rights’ derive solely from humans.
SO animal rights come from animals? If human rights come from humans alone – which humans? All of us – or just those in power? The fact is if human rights are a human construct – then they are not rights.
I wholeheatedly agree. I did not say they were ‘rights’.
I understood we were discussing the source of the term Human Rights.
So you don’t accept that human rights are rights? So what are you arguing about?
Human Rights are bestowed by Governments while Christian Rights are bestowed by God.
Of course , Rights and their accompanying Rules are useless without the power to punish.
Fascinating. Is there evidence to verify this, Alistair?
I gather he means those rights outlined in the bible( as interpreted by men).
