Scott Lively: Gays Caused Ukraine Crisis

"The crux of the human rights debate is what it means to be human. Russia appears to be returning to it’s pre-Soviet understanding that humans are made in the image of God, and that our 'rights,' are really duties of respect and care for each other which are imposed on us by Him. This is why the first principle of both the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights is the protection of the Christian church, from which the very concept of modern human rights emerged. And this is why the greatest point of conflict between the U.S. and Russia is the question of homosexuality. I believe even the conflict in Ukraine is being driven to a large extent by this issue, at least on the part of the Obama State Department and the homosexualist leaders of the E.U. There is no human right to sodomy to be found in nearly 4000 years of human rights jurisprudence. It is an invention of Cultural Marxists in the late 20th century, and rests on their dangerous premise that the state, not God, grants us our rights. In fact, the 'right' to sodomy is really an anti-right, because it can only be granted at the expense of the true human rights of religious freedom and family values." - Hate group leader Scott Lively, writing for his personal blog.
