Equality before the law – The Christian principle that needs to be rediscovered
Last week, the National Post reported on some atheists who want the “Supremacy of God” clause taken out of the Preamble of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. These atheists got uppity because a Quebec judge referenced the clause in a decision accusing the Quebec government of totalitarianism in its implementation of its new religion and ethics curriculum, imposing it even on private schools. I submitted a column to the National Post in response to the article. They didn’t print it so I have reprinted it below. The National Post itself produced an editorial on the subject in their Saturday paper. The argumentation in favour of the clause in my column vs. the Post’s illustrates the difference between a clear Christian apologetic and a much weaker attempt to defend it on more generic grounds.
OK, when Christians decide to get into the attack game with the same superficial rhetoric that non-Christians are using against Biblically faithful Christians, then it’s time to provide some clarity to the discussion.
