I love how its a brand of "American" Christianity. Man some people up there really hate us. Canadians are so funny. I don't hate them, I just don't ever think about them.
This is slander. Please name one concrete way in which Christians come anywhere close to "Squelching the religious freedom and rights of others"!
What she would likely say: "banning gay marriage" or "banning abortion" would take the rights away...
Well American Christians do riot and kill people when their particular holy book is desecrated...oh wait, umm, maybe I have the wrong religion...
That describes Islam, not Christians (or Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.).
"...but squelches them for others." What in the world is this clown talking about? Frankly, unless I read something idiotic such as this I never, ever think of Canada either.
Until recently, marriage has always meant a man and a woman and same sex "marriage" was recognized in no country. As laws do not prevent people from cohabiting in a permanent relationship, the whole point of same sex marriage is to get the government to promote and bless same sex marriage. Thus it is the liberals who are using the government to impose their moral views on society, not the other way around. Abortion is not just a religious issue, it is an issue that relates to human life, and about which people are entitled to hold different viewpoints. If one believes a fetus is a life, then the logical conclusion is that taking that life should not be permitted. It helps the most defenseless of all humans. Are criminal laws against murder someone imposing their "religious beliefs" on others?
Your right, BARF!
Thank you for not thinking about us..we are quite capable,and you obviously are as well,of manufacturing and wallowing in our own MSM spawned misery..only difference?..your a country of 300 million+ airheads and we are a country of 30+ airheads and our air is a lot colder than your stuff...EH
It sounds like he was being sarcastic...
That's correct. I know that social liberals are trying to cover this up as "human rights" and force the agenda...
BS. Doesn't happen. If it did it would be all over the MSM.
That's correct, she is just making up lies and stories.
Maybe my little brother has a point when he says 'KILL CANADA!' And yes, he says that. He intends to do so with nukes. :P
I haven't seen a single example of Christians squelching the rights of other religions. Just innuendo and hand-wringing about something that has no basis in fact.
Well, America does seem to be the last western nation to embrace Christianity to a large degree.
It's also the largest western nation period...but you are correct in that even proportionally it is.
Some European countries (like France) have church attendance rates below 5%...
