"Christianity
has never lacked critics. The renaissance had the
humanists, the enlightenment had the rationalists,
while today's radical secularists have state-sanctioned
inquisitions. The Ontario's Human Rights Tribunal
ruling last week is the latest example of state
persecution and discrimination against a Christian
agency." -- by RdC |

Three
quotes from The Daily Telegraph "In a land
without morals:"
-
"The
death of civility? I'm afraid so. The liberal
revolution of the Sixties, which separated
morality from law, is leading us, says Sacks,
to "a new form of barbarism".
-
"The
breakdown of the traditional family was likened
last Saturday by a High Court judge, Mr. Justice
Coleridge, to an out-of-control cancerous
body, posing more of a threat to our futures
than global warming. The family courts, he
said, are witnessing "a never-ending
carnival of human misery".
- "When
our legal system loses its moral compass, it
is only to be expected that on the mean streets
of Britain many impressionable children will
do the same."

"When
it is recognized that religion has a public as well
as a private dimension and that all citizens are
believers (in something and with some propositions
undergirding these beliefs) it is then clear that
there should be no privileged place in Canadian
public policy for atheist and agnostic beliefs or
corresponding exclusion of religious groups and
individuals."
-- Iain T. Benson at www.culturalrenewal.ca
in " Taking a Fresh Look..." |
|
"A
Christian cleric (Anglican Primate Williams) who
champions doctrinal relativism merely betrays his
spiritual vocation. He has no political power. But
mischievous law professionals do. Those who would
privilege group identity over individual rights,
hiding inside the trojan horse of a bogus "equality,"
are democracy's enemy, and with our legal academic
elites' complicity, are already within our gates."

"Well,
I think I would argue that they (new atheists-secular
fundamentalist) have a form of faith, that the leap
of faith that they make is essentially built around
the cult of science. They hold up evolutionary biology
as a way to argue that we can progress morally as
a species, collectively. Now, there is nothing in
human history or human nature that suggests we're
advancing morally as a species."

"...Human
Rights Commission—which for the sake of accuracy
we shall
hereafter refer to as Kangaroo Kourt—has
the power to do anything, to anybody, anytime.
It derives its authority from a Canadian law that
makes it a hate crime to say or write anything
that might—whether it actually does or not
is totally immaterial—expose some individual
belonging to one of several favored minority groups,
at some indefinite timein the future, to some
unspecified kind of hatred or contempt. Because
there is no substance whatsoever to such a complaint,
there is no possible defense against it."
-- Lee Duigon in Watch Canada Strangle Free
Speech
|
|
"Free
speech is a condition of legitimate government.
Laws and policies are not legitimate unless they
have been adopted through a democratic process,
and a process is not democratic if government has
prevented anyone from expressing his (or her) convictions
about what those laws and policies should be." --
Philosopher Ronald Dworkin |
|
"The
principled objection to having administrative
organs decide on free speech goes beyond the unfair
and unbalanced procedures by which these bureaucratic
bodies operate. The basic premise of constitutional
democracy in Canada, as in other similar regimes,
is that governments are in the business of protecting
rights so that individuals can exercise them.
Normal citizens understand this clearly enough."
Barry
Cooper, PhD, FRSC, professor of political science
at
University of Calgary, Calgary Herald Jan 23,
2008
He
went on to say : "That is, an equal right
to apply for a job does not, in a constitutional
democracy, mean that the government secures someone
a job. The right to compete is no more the right
to win than the right to speak freely is the right
to be listened to. The point of a right to speak
freely is to debate, not to enforce agreement."

"I
don't think that judges should do anything but
interpret the meaning of texts that have been
democratically adopted and give them the meaning

country, but internationally - have taken on this
function of being moral arbiters for the world.''

"There

In
response to a question of whether he would be

a fairy tale read to his second-grader that ends

John Edwards, as candidate for president of USA

on behalf of my children. I want my children to
be able to make that decision on behalf of themselves,
and I want them to be exposed to all the information,
even in (chuckling), what did you say, second
grade? Well, second grade might be a little tough,
but even in second grade, to be exposed to all
those possibilities. Because I don't want to impose
my view – nobody made me God – I don't
get to decide on behalf of my family and my children.
… I don't get to impose on them that it is
that I believe is right." -- An irresponsible

of the enduring lessons the Reverend Dr. Martin

community can have in society:
Reverend King said: "The church must be
reminded that it is not the master or the servant

It must be the guide and the critic of the state.
If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal,
it will become an irrelevant social club without

Marriage
was the most liberal institution known to man. It
opened its arms to the ugly and the homely as well
as to the beautiful and the stunning. Was it defined
as between a man and a woman? Well, yes, but only
in the sense that a cheese omelet is defined as
an egg and some cheese - without the least intention
of insulting either orange juice or toast by their
omission from this definition. Orange juice and
toast are fine things in themselves - you just can't
make an omelet out of them."

"Marriage is the most enduring
and important human institution, honored and encouraged
in all cultures and by every religious faith.
Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment
of a husband and a wife to love and to serve one
another promotes the welfare of children and the
stability of society. Marriage cannot be cut off
from its cultural, religious, and natural roots
without weakening this good influence on society.
Government, by recognizing and protecting marriage,
serves the interests of all." -- George Bush

“Sugrue and Cere agree that marriage,
like the market, is a pre-political institution

is not the role of law - correction, not the proper

The
well-known skeptic and author Mark Twain
once said of Christians:
"It will be conceded that a Christian's first
duty is to God. It then follows, as a matter of
course, that it is his duty to carry his Christian
code of morals to the polls and vote them. Whenever
he shall do that, he will not find himself voting
for an unclean man, a dishonest man. If Christians
would vote their duty to God at the polls, they
would carry every election, and do it with ease.
Their prodigious power would be quickly realized
and recognized, and afterward there would be no
unclean candidates upon any ticket, and graft would
cease. If the Christians of America could be persuaded
to vote God and a clean ticket, it would bring about
a moral revolution that would be incalculably beneficent.
It would save the country." |

"The

of their love affair with government power. Bureaucrats
can work to apportion riches in a manner they deem
fair, but government never produces the riches in
the first place - only private enterprise can do
that. In other words, the left sustains the sense
of eternal grudge that fuels its lunatic projects
by persuading people to focus on the attainments
of others, rather than celebrating achievements
of their own. Liberals love to highlight the 'growing
gap between rich and poor' - without noting the
far more salient fact that poor people in American
have progressed so dramatically that they now enjoy
a standard of living that would have qualified as
middle class in previous years. There will always
