BURNABY, December 13, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A British Columbia man, David Bedford, has undertaken a personal campaign against the presence Christianity in public life in general and the Conservative Party of Canada in particular, claiming that a vote for Stephen Harper's Conservatives is a vote for "religious extremism."
Claiming to be an NDP supporter, Bedford irritated police across Canada last week by setting up websites with names similar to those of local police units that automatically redirect visitors to the NDP campaign website.
The CBC reported that the look-alike sites, such as http://www.reginapolice.ca, http://www.saskatoonpolice.ca, and http://www.edmontonpolice.ca, are now re-routed to Bedford's own anti-Harper site, where he calls himself "Darwin" Bedford and claims to be the "atheist messiah," and a "Spiritual Reality Therapist."
Sgt. Kelly Dennison of the Winnipeg Police Service told the CBC, "Anybody looking for the Winnipeg police service would think we're endorsing the NDP." "Obviously, that's not the case," he said. A spokesman for the Regina police said an enquiry is likely but police did not specify if Bedford's anti-Christian campaign would be investigated under the hate crimes statutes.
Bedford's single-page site warns, "If you vote for Stephen Harper and the Conservatives you would be voting for religious extremists with a hidden agenda."
NDP spokesman Ian Capstick at first told the CBC that Bedford was an NDP supporter who was trying to help the party's chances in the federal election. Capstick told the CBC that the party did not have the power to make Bedford stop, but had not asked him to halt, either.
Bedford's anti-Harper site includes a link to Atheists.net where he includes his own agenda of "dereligionization" of the world. That page links to another of Bedford's sites called, UndoJesus.org that includes a point-form list of goals including "opposing Christian influence and control within social context."
After communicating with police, the NDP is now distancing itself from Bedford's anti-Christian campaign. Capstick told LifeSiteNews.com that although the party has no power to stop his campaign, they have asked him not to link to the NDP website.
"Mr. Bedford is not officially associated with the NDP in any way shape or form. He directed his website to ours. He was asked two days ago, due to the tone and content of some of the police comments that he re-direct those sites," Capstick said.
When pressed, Capstick said that he himself had asked Bedford to re-direct the sites. "We asked him to point his website to either elections.ca or a charity of his choice," he told LifeSiteNews.com.

He obviously doesn't understand the stupidity of his statement that's for certain. One day too his knees shall bow and tounge confess Christ is Lord.
If you look very closely, you can see the horns underneath his hair...
Therapists actualy have agendas against religion. Their office is used for profiling and cleansing of society of "certain thoughts". Like abortion, bedroom genocide is not new. Marital counselling is used to make one party discipline the other's "addiction" to "internet"/religion. Cops are also called and people thrown in jail, this is no joke.
Christ came to save from an already condemned world to hell.
This is a call for cleansing "heaven's ethny", basicaly, brothers adnd sisters in Christ. The outrageousness of his statement meant to induce guilt feelings in Christian association is proof of the convicting Holy Spirit if it works.
As for killing Christ again, funny that he pushes others to do it, like some certain people pushing the Romans. This is the social agenda meant to not pay for the consequences of your wishes, pushing others and not yourself for what one "believes". Truth matters not if one fears living by it, for then it is not true to truth.
The modern left's two most sacred platforms, hatred of Christianity and Israel.
When Jesus returns he will be invincible,this guy needs to get a grip.
He's a Satanist-Communist.
When Jesus returns after the Tribulation period, in Revelation 19:15 "From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations". In other words, when Jesus says "drop dead" to His enemies when He comes back, any of His enemies will already be dead meat.
And you still think you can kill Him again, Mr Bedford? Haven't you read the Bible that says it is all prophesised that this will certainly happen when Jesus comes again - the world wants to kill Him again but Jesus kills the world with sword coming out of His mouth?
"Oh goodness. This guy whacked. I hope this doesn't represent the views of real Canadians"
And certainly not the Premier who is a methodist minister.
"And certainly not the Premier who is a methodist minister."
Given that he is a Methodist minister in Canada, what chance is that he believes "God is dead" a la John Spong?
I interviewed Premier Lorne Calvert for a business magazine and I can assure you he does't believe God is dead.
This dufus is well aware that there is a God and that there is a Jesus, and chooses to HATE and REJECT them, and spread his vile message, hoping to have others submit to his view. In other words, he's jealous of the higher power that he can't control.
Most of the militant "atheists" that are out there fall into this bucket. They're not "non-believers"--They are hate-filled, jealous servants of evil, trying to convince themselves that there is no God so they don't have to be accountable for their actions on Earth. And because Christians confront them with this reality, the only way to prevent this confrontation is to stamp out any possibility that the truth of the Christian message be shown to them, so they don't have to answer their own conscience.

I think I can safely say that no-one that I know, include the Liberal party kool-aid drinkers, would consider this guy as anything other than a nut-job and a crank.
It's guys like this that give atheists a bad name. Most of us are happy enough just to live and let live.
What's sad is that there is nothing that any Christian is doing that in any way is impacting his life negatively. It would appear he has an extreme case of "oppositional-defiant disorder" (a neurological mental illness that causes people to derive pleasure from bizarre compulsive and irrational adversarial behavior). A lot of aggressive atheists actually have this disorder. If he keeps attacking Christians, something bad will eventually happen to him.
From the photo, he does look demented and deranged. Pathetic.
