Same-sex \u2018marriages\u2019 are starting to get legal recognition at the country where “in God they trust”… New Jersey court says there is a right of men to form such \u2018unions\u2019. Protestants start to ordain women, because there is a right of women to become priests… The pope<\/a> says we must defend \u2018human rights\u2019… Churches and States move in the same field of rights and more rights, these rights, other rights, change of rights…\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet, the whole structure collapses (and will collapse not only at discussions) by a reality which is clearly revealed in just a simple question: is there a \u2018right\u2019 of man to be born?<\/strong> How can a man have \u2018rights\u2019 when he is not even born? If the very root of man\u2019s existence is due to whatever except<\/em> \u2018rights\u2019, then how can we speak about \u2018human rights\u2019, and build our (so-called) societies upon \u2018human rights\u2019?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

If we were to live self-consciously, our courts and our priests would stop speaking about \u2018human rights\u2019, they would say: we want<\/strong> same-sex marriages, we want<\/strong> women to be priests, etc. Because all these are fulfillments of our wishes, or moves we think as necessary in order to support other wishes, or \u2013 whatever, except<\/em> \u2018human rights\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We Create ourselves<\/strong> as subjects of rights and obligations, and we call this Self-Programming a \u201cfollowing of human nature\u201d, this way hiding (thinking we can cover) the explosive mixture of arbitrariness, mechanisation and opportunism that we call our \u2018life\u2019, that is, to the nothingness that we are, we add also cowardice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Same-sex \u2018marriages\u2019 are starting to spread, and what is the Word of the Churches? That God wants a man to be married with a woman! This is the Ultimate Wisdom of the Churches, that God is arbitrary as we are, and just \u2018doesn\u2019t like\u2019 same-sex marriages… Since God\u2019s arbitrariness happens to be also the Nature, same-sex marriages are unnatural… And the Churches lived well, and we even better…\u00a0<\/p>\n
