Biblical Genesis 'Incompatible With Human Dignity,' British Court Says
A British court recently ruled against Dr. David Mackereth, a disability assessor who was fired from the United Kingdom’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) last year for refusing to use transgender pronouns. The DWP had asked Dr. Mackereth, “What would you do if you were to assess someone who is obviously a man but asks to be referred to as ‘she’ or ‘Missis’ in the report?” Mackereth replied that, as a Christian, he wouldn’t comply with the request. He was summarily sacked.
Dr. Mackereth then hired the Christian Legal Centre (CLC) to represent him in a lawsuit filed against the DWP for religious discrimination. An employment tribunal ruled that the DWP was within its rights to terminate Mackereth. The ruling declared: “Belief in Genesis 1:27, lack of belief in transgenderism and conscientious objection to transgenderism in our judgement are incompatible with human dignity and conflict with the fundamental rights of others, specifically here, transgender individuals.” The panel also categorized the bible as “mere opinion.”
Belief in the Bible is “incompatible with human dignity?” Belief in Genesis is “incompatible with human dignity?” Really? Where does the DWP and the employment tribunal think human dignity comes from? From whence does it originate? In Whose image are we created? Adam Schiff’s? Dignity cannot be granted, bestowed -- or denied -- by a government. The court’s declaration is -- as most things leftist are -- exactly wrong. Look at the places where people, or more commonly their governments, don’t or haven’t believed in Biblical principles. Places like North Korea, the Sudan, Hitler’s Germany, or Pol Pot’s Cambodia. These aren’t and weren’t exemplars of human dignity. (Neither an individual nor a government needs to be Christian or particularly religious to believe in many Biblical principles).
