"I am quite well aware that Christianity's track record in respecting human rights is downright spectacular compared to what arises in atheistic systems (such as Communism)."

You cannot legitimately claim to be an agnostic and speak of "human rights" in the same breath.

In other words, the rights granted to you by other men cannot be rights that are granted to you merely because you're a "human".

Holding opposite beliefs simultaneously results in the mental confusion called 'cognitive dissonance'.

Want to try again --- leaving out the cognitive dissonance?

You do realize that you didn't answer my question, don't you?

Sorry for the triplicate post. I lost my dial-up connection just as I clicked on 'post'. When I got the connection back, I guess I made two too many 'clicks' :)
