A Thesis on Holy Rights

 

I began to ponder a thought on what the Holy Church deems as basic human rights. Although such a phrase has been said before, there are no ‘official’ laws within the world to identify what is, logistically, a ‘Human’, or, more so, what a ‘Human’ is entitled to. Basic bloodlines state a Human is just that- a pure human, but bloodlines are always melding and mingling, either with other races or with other Humanly bloodlines. A well kept example are the quant Halfling folk of the Vale, who are, obviously, related to Humans, as well as dwarves. Are halflings, than, Human? Are they ‘part’ Human? What of Adunians or other half-breeds? Or even, what of Elves, who, besides culturally and physically, ear-wise, are some of the closest species to Humans? Do such deserve equal rights to that of Humans? If you are looking for something closer to home, simply look at Northerners, Southerners, Highlanders, and Farfolk. All different cultures, bloods, and ethnicities mixing within a pot- if Humans are anything they are promiscuous (With or without Church consent or opinion.).

 

So we, and I, as I searched for answers, are left with Several questions. For one, what, if any, Holy Rights as a sentient ‘being’ do we have? What qualifies as a sentient ‘being’- as in, is it simply pure Humans, half-breeds, or more? Finally, in what respects do other creatures of the World have in standings with Humans, as the Creators children?

 

To begin: What qualifies a ‘Being’. I purpose we look deeper into the scripture as to what as a ‘Being’ even entails. Just living things? Or Simply sentient things? The issue with this specific question is that it entales a bit too much for my own knowledge- I am not completely versed in all scriptures, and it is a philisophical question which holds even less answers than questions itself.

 

Secondly, what as a ‘Human’ are one’s Holy Rights? This, again, maybe be better played out within scriptures I have never learned (I am no Acolyte, no Deacon, no Priest.) so it comes to my attention, the question, what is our Right? I prupose the few simple ones- To learn of the Creator and his love. To learn of the Scripture, of the traditions and laws, and rules of God. Finally, to learn of, and walk down one’s own path in God’s eye. These three motions are, to what qualify as ‘Beings’, rules which all should be told, or given the chance to follow.

 

Lastly, how do Humans, or rather these ‘Beings’ fair against non-holy beings? Where do they stand in the spectrum of God’s love and wrath? I, personally, feel, as he has shown with his wrath upon the undead and unholy, that they are shunned within his eyes. Why else would his wrath and rage be pushed to hardily against these monstrosities of he loved them- unless, perhaps, it is not in anger but in love. Like how one punishes a child for stealing cookies- not because you hate the child to punish him, but to teach, and to learn.

 

These are a few simple answers I could, with limited knowledge, find for my odd philosophical questions.
