The United Nations’ special rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief said in a report presented to the Human Rights Council that faith must not be used to justify violence or discrimination, and that when religion seems to provoke acts of violence or discrimination — particularly against women gays and transgenders — then the global body’s own equal rights’ protections must take priority over the religious teachings.
On the one hand, that’s a no-duh remark. Discrimination in all its forms is bad. So is violence. We get it. On the other hand, though — and this is where it gets dicey — this is the United Nations‘ way of setting government over religion, of prioritising government over God.
Read carefully. Think critically. This is a United Nations step towards supplanting the religions of the world.
“States have an obligation to guarantee to everyone, including women, girls and LGBT+ people, an equal right to freedom of religion or belief, including by creating an enabling environment where pluralist and progressive self-understandings can manifest,” said Special Rapporteur Ahmad Shaheed, in his annual report, LifeSiteNews.
That’s the no-duh. Here comes the dicey.
From the UN’s news desk: “In his report, the UN expert urges States to repeal gender-based discrimination laws, including those enacted with reference to religious considerations that criminalise adultery; criminalise persons on the basis of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity; criminalise abortion in all cases; and facilitate religious practices that violate human rights.”
Shaheed didn’t call out religions by name. But that in itself is problematic.
After all, it’s Islam that breeds violence; Islam that sets women as second-class citizens — or even lower, below the dogs; Islam that tosses gays off rooftops; Islam that rewards suicide bombing martyrs-slash-murderers for Allah with virgins in heaven.
If the goal of the United Nations is to address the root causes of violence and discrimination as it pertains to religion, then the better path towards truth and effectiveness would be to speak boldly and clearly on the dangers of politicised Islam, and the fuzzy boundaries that separate the so-called religion of Islam from the radicalised political beliefs of Islam.
And that’s “boundaries” in quotation marks.
But if the goal of the United Nations is to draw moral equivalences between the religions of the world, as if Christianity is Hinduism is Islam is Wiccan and so forth — and then make the case that all are equally prone to discriminate and subjugate and further acts of brutality and violence — well then, congrats to the special rapporteur.
Lumping the world’s religions together is a tool of confusion and deception that allows the global body to shake its scolding finger in the general direction of “religion,” instead of at the real sources of religious intolerance and violence.
It also subtly casts Christian teachings about the sin of homosexuality, the sin of adultery, and the satanic nature of creating chaos with the God-ordained definition of family as akin to, say, Islam’s open persecution of gays, or Islam’s brutal public punishments of women for adultery. And when the messaging is complete, when the message of Christianity equals Islam equals any other religion of the world is imprinted on enough mindsets, then watch and see: There will come the United Nations with the solution for all this religion-based discrimination and intolerance and murder and mayhem — government regulation of religion.
Government, over religion
It’s historical truth that socialists, communists, tyrants, despots and autocrats seek worship of government, not God; seek a secularised society in order to exert greater influence and seize greater control. And if you can’t wipe out religion, what better way to make religion irrelevant than by casting all the religions as the same? The better to break the faith, my dear.
If any government had a vested interest in plowing forth a secularised society, it’s the power-hungry bloated elites of the United Nations.
Beware the “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” the Bible teaches. Beware the United Nations‘ teachings on religions.
— The Washington Times
Here’s the thing. governments exist, and can be demonstrated to exist. There is no evidence that god exists. So yes, I would prioritise something that exists over something that does not. When women are treated as inferior beings, when people with same sex attraction are killed in the name of a god, when people that chose to leave a controlling religion are shunned, ‘disfellowshipped’, perhaps (Scientology) presented with a bill for all the ‘counselling’ you’ve received and then find your personal life ‘exposed’, or (Islam) punished by death…(I haven’t mentioned the rape and sexual abuse by those in positions of power in various religions).
All ‘worship’, be it of a god, a political figure, an ideology, a government, even of a actor or musician, is potentially harmful. It warps our sense of acceptable behaviour to other human beings.

Thanks for discussing your ideas. I’d also like to mention that video games have been at any time evolving. Better technology and innovations have aided create reasonable and fun games. All these entertainment games were not that sensible when the actual concept was first being tried out. Just like other areas of technological know-how, video games too have had to evolve as a result of many decades. This is testimony to the fast growth and development of video games.

Howdy, I do think your website could possibly be having web browser compatibility issues. Whenever I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Aside from that, excellent website.
An additional issue is that video games are generally serious in nature with the key focus on understanding rather than enjoyment. Although, it comes with an entertainment part to keep your sons or daughters engaged, every game is generally designed to improve a specific expertise or programs, such as numbers or scientific disciplines. Thanks for your post.
