ROME, June 30, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) When a European Christian pro-family group applied to join the Fundamental Rights Platform (FRP) of the EUs Human Rights Agency, they did not expect to be denounced as promoters of hate.
The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) objected to a statement by the Alliance of Romanias Families (ARF) calling same-sex marriage an example of human degeneration, and denied their request for membership.
The ARF, a group lobbying to retain Romanias traditional Christian social and legal underpinnings, had written on their website that, So-called alternatives such as families consisting of same-sex, are nothing but expressions of human degeneration. The FRA responded, saying, The qualification of other peoples sexual orientation as human degeneration is not an acceptable basis for creating a structured and fruitful dialogue.
In a letter to the ARFs president, Peter Costea, the agency called this a fundamental rights perception that is incompatible with the participation in the FRP. The agency also explained that their position was based upon the belief that ARF's views amount to "hate speech."
Costea responded to the FRA, saying that the rejection was ideological and political. He defended his organization, saying that members believe in human rights and dignity for all, in diversity and mutual respect.
We believe in civilized dialogue and robust debate on issues of wide social impact and importance. Nevertheless, we need to point out, respectfully yet unambiguously, our view that your decision to deny ARF membership is discriminatory and improper.
To us it evinces an attempt to weed out organisations that express, based on their freedom of expression and religion, views that are different from those officially espoused by the Agency.
In 2009 the Fundamental Rights Agency invited all stakeholding nongovernmental organizations from EU countries to submit applications for membership in the Platform. The purpose of the platform, the agency says, is to engage in a structured dialogue with civil society, to ensure that the EU and national governments respect the fundamental rights of all persons.
While turning down the ARF, the Fundamental Rights Agency accepted the application of the British Humanist Association (BHA), one of Britain's most outspokenly anti-Christian lobby groups that works for the removal of all signs of Christianity from public life in Britain.
The BHA features a whos who list of Britains most hostile anti-Christians, including atheist Richard Dawkins and its current president, radical feminist journalist Polly Toynbee. The group is best known recently for its atheist bus campaigns and its political work to disestablish the Church of England, to abolish daily worship in schools and to reform religious education to exclude religious belief.
With all the Muzzies there now, it would be like sending missionaries to the cannibals to give them a taste of religion.
Soddoma..
Now sexual assault is legalized, and resisting it means hate according to them.
The break over point was when homosexuals got the general public to consider choice of conduct as being similar to race. It was a clever ploy. Most people oppose racial or sexual discrimination. By equating conduct with race, they were able to make opposition to their agenda a hate crime.
“This stuff will soon be on our shores.”
Already here.
It’s the coming One World Government in the making, headed up by the Antichrist. Already well underway in the US as well. It’s prophecy in the making!
But they won’t declare as hate speech the handbook of the death cult.
The death cult executes people. Christians say that the behavior is wrong. One kills, the other speaks.
The one who kills is left alone. The one who speaks is condemned and thrown in jail.
bump!
This is coming soon to US . I heard that in Canada a Pastor can not preach on it.. this is the aim of the gay rights groups here...
The only group it is safe to mock and demean are Christians
So Graham Norton can’t say that “ a gay person living to 60 is like anyone else living to 100” any more?
Just as the Thought Police did with the words N and R, the word Sin will be retired from the language as being hateful.
Well now, -
Isn’t THAT special?
nod to: the Church Lady
Islams on the same side as the homos in the Cosmic Battle.
Mr.B says it!!!!
That MrB,
Is the indisputable truth.
