Rights And Respnsibilities/ Christianity/ Human Rights
Human Rights
Rights to : life, freedom
from torture, freedom
of conscience, freedom
of expression, right to
education, property,
health care and food.
Many Christians
believe in the civil right
that God's will is shown
in the Bible and
Homosexuality is
wrong and are allowed
to discriminate
Homosexual people.
Some Christians are against the
right Homosexuals to raise a family.
They believe that children should
be brought up by a mother and a
father. Some Churches have
apposed adoption which makes it
illegal for adoption agencies to
discriminate against Homosexual
couples when approving couples for
adoption.
Some Christians are against
the right to marry somebody
from a diff faith. They say a
Christian should marry a
Christian. They would
discriminate inter-faith
couples by not allowing them
to marry in a Chruch
Do you think Christians should accept all Human Rights Laws?
Yes, because
people are free
to be what they
want and who
they want to
marry as it is
our life not
theirs.
I also agree
because God
has created all
of us in his
image and if
you defy that
you defy God.
Another reason
would be
because it isn't
right to
discriminate
people if they
are black, white,
homosexual or
lesbian.
A Roman Catholic would
disagree because even
though we have the right
life, they will say why end
another human beings life
doing an abortion. Pope
John Paul II took a strong
line on abortion, describing
it as murder.
Another reason why
some people may
disagree is because
some Christians are
against the right to
marry a person from
a different faith or
gender.
Also some people may
disagree because they
would discriminate
inter-faith couples by not
allowing them to marry in
a Church.
