The Human Rights Delusion

We live in a momentous era of human history wherein most people in most countries acknowledge and affirm the existence of human rights. The International Criminal Court, established in 2002, is a permanent court that can and does prosecute heads of states for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Since 1948, human rights have been enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, unanimously approved by the United Nations General Assembly.

 

And our beloved Declaration of Independence is the single greatest affirmation of human rights against state power when Thomas Jefferson exclaims: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The Founding Fathers believed that human rights are inalienable, and, as such, they are universal and absolute - they are the rights of all people, in all places, at all times, regardless of their nationality or religion (referred to as "objective" rights). They were convinced that King George's rule needed to be ended because he was violating the basic human rights of the colonists.

There is a God by Antony Flew

In a December of 2004 interview with one of the world’s most famous atheists, Antony Flew, had declared his belief in a God. This book “There is a God: How the Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind” tells why. It is a sober and brief book that has generated a hornet’s nest of controversy. Mr. Flew was one of the most influential atheists of this century, helping to set the agenda for world atheism for a half century. His “Theology and Falsification”, a paper first presented at a 1950 meeting of the Oxford Socratic Club chaired by C.S. Lewis, became the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last century and a regular staple for philosophy courses.

He was also something of an evangelist for atheism, debating theologians and pastors in front of enormous crowds. While the book is only 160 pages (plus two appendices by other authors), the cumulative case for the inadequacies of atheism and the necessity of theism is here very nicely and compellingly made. And given the one making the case – the world’s leading atheist for six decades – this book needs to be seriously read by everyone.

Best Of Radio

The best Christian radio station on the Internet is Pandora (http://www.pandora.com). Referring to itself as the Music Genome Project, it is by far the single best source for any music genre, Christian or otherwise. Since 2000, has been collecting a huge database of songs, as well as details on them, almost a century of popular recordings in all. The listener has the ability to create, in his or her account, as many "stations" as he or she desires. These stations can be based around favorite artists or bands, and then the parameters of the Pandora program sifts through hundreds of factors (such as types of vocal or instruments) to find similar songs and bands that the listener may also like.

For the most passive listener, one can merely just forge ahead, ignore the numerous choices, and click on a pre-formatted "Contemporary Christian" radio station and enjoy some great music. The music rolls on endlessly like a radio station except there are no commercial breaks. While one can pause a song, due to copyright issues, a song cannot be replayed and skipping ahead over songs is limited in nature. Find more at http://www.delightinhim.com/best-of-radio.html
