Discrimination

Post by RWStanding »

Discrimination
Every country in the world has, peradventure, law that discriminates ethically, in any form of ethics that affects society.
Otherwise there is social chaos and no society.
The law may treat everyone as ‘equal’ but they are so in the face of ethical duty or responsibility.
Therefore, everything they do that has social implication is actually or potentially subject to the law.
Exactly the same considerations apply to ‘religions’ of all and every kind.
Everything in religion is actually or potentially subject to the law of a country.
That must logically include the ‘cosmology’ of religion or belief.
In plain fact this country [UK] has law that discriminates regarding the content of religion, and therefore discriminates between religions with respect to their social responsibility.

Truly every act, whether the result of social implication or religious inspiration, is potentially subject to law.

What is the UK’s law that discriminates, and what is the content that is the object of discrimination?

yes, of course, depending upon the Nation those reigious laws superceed secular national laws - i,e, the saudis (yemen too)

hell, even when that is not the case - as in here in America, there are Hassidic Laws - no bearing in our State Law - but if you are Hassidic woman being beat by a husband, and do not appeal to the State's Laws - you voluntarily suject yourself to Hessidic religious laws.
