And a great book to read on this topic of the Charter is Mike Wagner’s “Leaving God Behind’, which has already been released.

Comment on The Supreme Court Has Exposed Us to Hatred: Rod Taylor by Don Spratt

Right on, Rod! I pray Bill’s case not only tells us what time it is, but is an alarm-clock that wakes up not only Christians, but all freedom loving Canadians and we stand up to this rising tide of tyranny.

Well said Samuel.
My question to anybody is what do you think about the New Religious Freedom Office?

Comment on What does theocracy REALLY mean? by adam

What about the death penalty for women who are married to men who have been sentenced for death? you also forgot the death penalty for children that disobey their parents? the right to own a slave? you forgot that two, death penalty for adulterous women? (but not men?) it looks like you missed that one and of course that law that if a woman is raped, then in order to compensate her the rapist must marry her. Yay lets all have a theocracy!

Comment on Should you be terrified of a Canadian Christian law school? by Janet Epp Buckingham

Indeed, it would be pointless to establish a law school at Trinity Western University if it is not different in some meaningful ways from other law schools. Like all programs at TWU, a law school will have high standards for teaching law. But also, like all programs, it will incorporate a Christian worldview. The proposal itself includes two courses where this is incorporated intentionally, along with other content. These courses are a first year course in the foundations of the common law and a third year, capstone course in jurisprudence. There are so many aspects, however, that it is impossible to detail them all. We will want to examine the role of lawyers as problem solvers and reconcilers in society. And leadership and high ethical standards will be part of the program as well. A law school at TWU is neither narrowly dogmatic as described by the critical law professors nor merely law school with some bible study added on.

Comment on New Jersey’s school war on children by Carol

Teacher: “Today we are going to learn about the origins of life.” Holds up a bible. “I am forbidden to open this book and read any of the information within it which also addresses the origins of earth. If I did so, I would be fired! Now, please take out the book you children are allowed to see.”

This is a true story and it naturally lead one daring teen student, perhaps more, to investigate this restricted book and see what was so dangerous about it that opening it could get the teacher fired. I think this fits Matthew 10:16: “be as crafty as a serpent, gentle as a dove.”

Comment on Canadian Blood Services by Ken Quick

A great post. I would also strongly encourage everyone who is able to give blood regularly, especially if you haven’t done so in the past. If the blood supply is large and steady, the ‘powers that be’ will be less motivated to take such insane risks with the blood supply.

Comment on Connecticut slaughter and the myth of a “good divorce” by Eric Szvoboda

That is so hard to bring that up now. Sad that someone can concive that idea in their minds and to got out and shoot innocent children but to throw the family in there now it just seems to early for me. My brother lives close to there with 2 younger children and i am still reflecting on that.

I came to this country (from China) because of her freedom to speech, belief, assembly. Now, my very freedom is being severely violated by the public institutions. It is almost like that one day I have flee this country and go back, no difference, I guess. The young people in this country, especially among local Canadians, are extremely hostile toward Christianity; and they even use distorted history to blame Christians for all the “historic wrongs”. This is very odd: we use to send missionaries to places like China, and now China is sending missionaries to Canada. Many of our churches, especially in major urban centres, are gradually occupied by the Chinese and Koreans immigrants. I think it would be a great idea to import some house-church Christians from China if necessary.
