My immediate observation of the Discussion Paper titled Freedom of Religion and Belief shows an inherent intention to interfere with religious beliefs and practices. The Bill would be better called Freedom from Religion and Religious Belief. It is very obvious from the discussion paper that the federal government intends to introduce a Bill of Rights. It recognises that many of the Rights created by present law contravene traditional morality and will be rejected by religious organisations. This Bill of Rights will subjugate our legal system to international courts and covenants and so provide an effective means of muzzling moral dissent. It is important to distinguish between the Moral Law and its modern secular substitute inappropriately called Human Rights. For the Christian, God revealed the moral law and emblazoned it in stone. It is unchangeable, coherent and cohesive and gives expression to the spiritual and material wellbeing of the humanity God created. The moral law is not a system of Rights but rather commandments and obligations for the welfare of others. They command we love God and neighbour, assist the poor, the deprived and the defenceless. Every human life is sacred from conception. The moral law requires individuals to support the common good and its institutions such as marriage and the family. Present parliaments have been busy passing laws that give Rights to people that are expressly forbidden by the moral law. As a result civil law has perpetrated the demise of marriage and family that were the pillars of stable society. This was done by Rights that encouraged divorce, promiscuity, alternate-lifestyles, killing of the unborn and general rampant individualism that leads to drug and sexual addiction and violence All of these Rights, even if socially reprehensible, are to be mandated as the Beliefs of the 21st. Century and written into the intended Bill of Rights. The draft Bill indicates that, far from being free, Religious will be bound to act within the law. This means that criticism of sodomy by religious people for example, will be a criminal offence categorised as incitement to hate homosexuals. Artists, academics and publishers are specifically exempted and free to insult God (blaspheme) if they want. Far from encouraging religious freedom and belief, the so named Bill is designed to strangle world-wide criticism of governments that legislate to turn morality on its head and replace social cohesion with permissive individualism. Yours faithfully, James Crockett      PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1   v> G K l  u̹ܰܢܘtmtdt`hG?MhG?MmHnHu h_hG?Mjh_hG?MUhJIjhJIUhOh*OJQJ^JhOOJQJ^Jh~h~H*OJQJ^Jh~h~^J$h~h~56OJQJ\]^Jh~h~6OJQJ]^Jh~h~OJQJ^Jh~ h~CJhOh~OJQJ^J   vw  k l m n   V W tuyzbc,gdO -dgdOgdOgd~cugd@0gdqgdmL ^`gdOgdO:&P 1h:pqBP.
