No legal basis for faith
Oh, the “we the majority, own everything victims” will have a field day with this:
British Judge: Christian Beliefs Have No Legal Standing
LONDON (RNS) A top British judge has ruled that Christian beliefs have no standing under secular law because they lack evidence and cannot be proven.
Lord Justice John Grant McKenzie Laws made the declaration on Thursday (April 29) in throwing out a defamation suit by Christian relationship counselor who refused to offer sex therapy to gay couples.
Gary McFarlane protested that he was fired because offering sex therapy to same-gender couples violates his Christian principles.
But Laws said “religious faith is necessarily subjective, being incommunicable by any kind of proof or evidence.” He added that to use the law to protect “a position held purely on religious grounds cannot therefore be justified.”
No religious belief, said the judge, can be protected under the law “however long its tradition, however rich its culture.”</strong></em>
Exactly. There is religious “belief”, and there is the real world, and never the twain should meet.
