Creation vs. the mythology of hate crimes

Contra hate crimes (9/30/08)

In the morning rag we see yet another call that so called 'hate crimes' be punished more severely than 'ordinary' crimes. (Which according to the mythology aren't hate based.) I consider this a joke; as these are the same people who continually affirm relativism, and who deny that moral absolutes exist, or even that truth exists. (These things only exist when certain 'advocates' want them to I guess.)

Quotes and comments;

1. "Vancouver police have recommended that the case be prosecuted as a hate crime, said Const. Tim Fanning. The Criminal Code of Canada gives the courts the authority to impose heavier sentences if there's evidence the crime was motivated by hate based on such things as race, religion or sexual orientation." (A homosexual was assaulted; supposedly for holding hands with another male.)

- while I don't deny that certain crimes are motivated by hate; the current mythology of hate crimes depends on who gets to define a hate crime. This is the crux of the controversy. Many crimes that I would consider 'hate crimes' are never called hate crimes; e.g. burning down churches. (Because so many of these church arsonists are homosexuals? Because the political Left hates Christians?)

- social workers stealing children who have been spanked, or sending their parents to jail, can be seen as a hate crime, attacks on homeschooling, on Christian schools, and on and on.

- hate crime legislation is just the radical Left taking care of its own; and exacting revenge on groups it doesn't like.

- in the USSR (where our pols get most of their ideas) there were all kinds of hate crimes; i.e. anything said about the ruling elite or anything the state did. To protest slave labor camps was a hate crime; to denounce communism was a hate crime, etc.

- so called 'hate crimes' depend on reading men's minds. (Pretty strange for a so called scientific age.) This is nothing but witchcraft... pretending judges have supernatural powers. Once you let judges (etc.) read people's minds you have lost all liberty... at least potentially. Again this was done in the Soviet Union; where gov. pols attributed all kinds of criminal motivations to commonplace behavior. Law must deal with behavior only; it cannot enter the realm of psychology and motivation and thoughts. This leads to the nightmare world of the totalitarian state.

- When a child is seduced, molested or raped by a homosexual, is it ever called a hate crime? In my experience this never happens, (although it's the worst hate crime there is.)

- So how is the subject of creation relevant to this story? The fact man was created by God, and was made in God's image is basic to all of life; and the subject of crime is no different. The only standard for law is God's holy character. It is only God who can provide man with absolute moral truth. Once human beings stray from God's law (revealed in the Bible) they run into endless errors. Both hatred and crime must be defined by God. Since all things belong to God, man himself belongs to God, and has a duty to obey his creator.

- it's easy to see how absurd this is; just imagine if the 'Right' were allowed to have exclusive right to define hate crimes! (Or some other group hated by the secular, socialist Left.)

- the idea of 'hate crimes' is intellectual and philosophical buffoonery.

Notes;
1. Source; Vancouver Sun; "Vancouver police have recommended that the case be prosecuted as a hate crime, said Const. Tim Fanning. The Criminal Code of Canada gives the courts the authority to impose heavier sentences if there's evidence the crime was motivated by hate based on such things as race, religion or sexual orientation.'
2. "It is a repulsive crime when people are attacked because of their colour, religion or sexual preference," Fanning said in an e-mail. "It is a crime committed out of ignorance and will never be tolerated."
3. I in no way condone the beating that went on here; we have laws against beating people up, and that's all that's needed. (In terms of christian theology, to simplify; law deals with outward behavior, and sin deals with what we might call inward behavior; with thoughts, feelings, motivations. e.g. murder is against the law, but rage is sin; adultery is against the law, but lust is sin. etc.)
4. "They that hate me love death.'' (i.e. says God)
