I have RIGHTS!
I will not be continuing my Creationism posts today. I do plan to return to them soon.
Then, I plan to answer the response about Iraq. I am sorry for the change in plans. Plans, in reality, often are altered for one reason or another. “The best laid plans … often go astray.” Thank you for your understanding and patience.
How many unborn toddlers were murdered today because of the humanistic, paganish, barbaric decisions of the United States Supreme Court?
Stop the
Murder of
Unborn
Toddlers
“Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.” James 4: 17 (NIV)

I wasn’t going to write about this tonight but then the whole post just came flowing to me soon after I woke up one morning. In many ways, this lack of understanding or acceptance and elevation of self above all else has been and is one of the major problems within our nation over the last forty plus years.
Two seemingly unrelated articles were in the local newspaper recently. Both of the issues were discussed by Phil Luciano—one of the Peoria Journal Star’s “special interest hit men” journalists. One issue was covered only in his column; the other made front page news. Phil Luciano seemed to be on different sides of each issue although, in fact, they are related by the same concept.
In one, a woman was sitting on an airplane next to a man who was reading Playboy magazine—a magazine that Phil Luciano identified as pornographic. (Perhaps Senator Obama didn’t realize that when he was hobnobbing with the CEO of Playboy back in 2004. Perhaps he didn’t care.—see my post entitled “Barack Obama, part 11” posted earlier this month) In the other, a 12 year old junior high school student was disciplined, until the school district succumbed to pressure, for wearing hair extensions which were not a color allowed by the school district. This issue made the front page—not once, not twice, but, at least, three times—and representatives from both the ACLU and the NAACP threatened a lawsuit to protect the “rights” of this poor, deprived, discriminated against young girl.
Personally, I could care less if this “mistreated” girl wore hair extensions or not or what color the extensions happened to be. However, both instances demonstrate the perverse demand for our “rights” that permeate this society today.
The U.S. Supreme Court and other groups and individuals, for at least the last 40 plus years, have emphasized personal “rights.” According to the Supreme Court and others, individuals now have the “right”, among others, to MURDER their unborn children, to have open homosexual relationships, to utter any and all obscenities in public, to remove all of one’s clothing as public entertainment, and to remove all references of GOD from the public arena. When States and local governments began to restrict public smoking, immediately the cry went up that the governments were infringing upon the “right” to smoke. Phil Luciano was included in those who trumpeted this cry of alarm.
What is it that Phil Luciano, the ACLU, other such organizations and individuals, and all too often the United State Supreme Court have forgotten, ignored, or just don’t seem to realize? They have forgotten, ignored, or just don’t seem to realize this very basic and important tenet of all democratic societies and of society in general —the rights of an individual ends when that right interferes with the rights of others.
We do not live in an individual vacuum. Our actions have impact on others. We have been created by GOD to be a social being. (A social being; not a social animal since we are not animals.) Smokers may have the right to smoke; they do not have the right to pollute the air of those around them who do not smoke or do not want to be exposed to the pollutants that cigarettes give off. Simply put, our rights are not absolute. Simply put but often ignored, with rights come responsibilities.
The man on the airplane may have the right to read a magazine in public. However, he has the responsibility not to offend others in the process. The 12 year old junior high school girl may have the right to wear any color of hair extensions she wants. However, she has the responsibility to obey and follow the rules of the school district. A smoker may have the right to smoke. However, he has the responsibility not to pollute the public air around him.
There are some Supreme Court created “rights” that will never, in actuality, be rights. No one has the right to MURDER an unborn baby. Neither the United States Supreme Court nor any one else can ever give you or any one else that “right.” It does NOT exist and NEVER will exist. “You shall not murder.” Exodus 20: 13 (NIV) “He (the LORD JESUS the CHRIST—my addition) went on ‘What comes out of a man is what makes him ‘unclean.’ For from within, out of men’s hearts come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, MURDER (My capitalization—my addition), adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these EVILS (My capitalization—my addition) come from within and make a man ‘unclean.’’” Mark 7: 20-23 (NIV)
There are some Supreme Court created “rights” that will never, in actuality, be rights. No one has the right to engage in homosexual behavior. Neither the United States Supreme Court nor anyone else can ever give you or any one else that “right.” It does NOT exist and NEVER will exist. “‘If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads’” Leviticus 20: 13 (NIV)
“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.” Romans 1: 24-27 (NIV)
“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” I Corinthians 6: 9-10 (NIV)
“He (the LORD JESUS the CHRIST—my addition) went on ‘What comes out of a man is what makes him ‘unclean.’ For from within, out of men’s hearts come evil thoughts, SEXUAL IMMORALITY (My capitalization—my addition), theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these EVILS (My capitalization—my addition) come from within and make a man ‘unclean.’’” Mark 7: 20-23 (NIV)

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)
