Sunday Thought



It would be awesome if we could apply this logic to, hmmm.... international wars, support for Israel, and, say, hate crime legislation! Do we have to keep repeating the same mistakes?

Hate Laws Flog Another Christian

Telling the truth is an illegal act in Canada . It’s worse if you’re a Christian. A pastor in Alberta , Rev. Stephen Boissoin, is the latest to make this chilling discovery.

Boissoin has been charged by a human rights panel with violating Canada 's "hate crime" law, for words he wrote to a newspaper back in 2002, when he was executive director of the Concerned Christian Coalition. His letter said "war has been declared" against the "homosexual machine."

I wonder which of Boissoin’s words violated the Canadian human rights law. Which of his words were “likely to expose homosexuals to hatred or contempt because of their sexual preference?” Maybe it was the part where he called their militant agenda “a machine.” That might be seen as flattery and certainly isn’t a lie.

In 1977, Quebec became the first jurisdiction in the world to prohibit private or public “discrimination” based on sexual orientation. In 1988, the first Canadian Member of Parliament “came out” to media. Also in 1988, a Canadian church first allowed ordination of openly practicing homosexuals. In 2005, Canada became the fourth country worldwide to federally sanction marriage between people of the same gender. Canadian public school curricula are currently being revised with “LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] topics.” (Maybe while they’re at it they should include topics about boys who prefer large breasts or girls who like to be handcuffed during sex. Or maybe they should quit bringing sexuality into grade school.)
