Yes, this is Canada, but it is soon coming here. Most of us believe in live and let live. If you personally find something sinful, it is really not your problem and Christians believe that God is the final authority. He will judge. But this is a freedom of thought and belief issue. The radical homosexuals and other leftists want to silence you if you do not believe as they believe. In our culture war, it seems as if leftist tyranny is advancing like in a cultural blitzkrieg. Will the Duck Dynasty controversy be their Waterloo?

How did Canada get to this point, and how will it ever return to sanity?

The left will try to keep it under cover for as long as they have to, but they’re out to criminalize Christian beliefs.

I’m betting if you pointed this out as proof,
your average sheeperal would deny/defend it by saying

“that’s in Canada, not here”.

I have thought for a while that what would finally tip this against the homosexual lobby is when the polygamists begin to really come out from the woodwork and assert THEIR “rights.” We’ll see.

I wish conservatives would point out that both Islam and Judaism consider sodomy a sin too.

It’s not just the Christians.

I sometimes think the LGBT crowd are just pawns for leftists who want to criminalize religious belief using sensitivity to gays as a cover to get it accomplished.

It doesn;t matter...to them...if Phil Robertson stated that allah commanded him to shoot all sodomites, do you believe A&E would have fired him?

The same way we're getting there. Bit by bit...one piece at a time. The gay activists (and every other culture war activist)start out with what seems to most people a reasonable proposition. Gays shouldn't be denied jobs, for instance. That becomes the prevailing ideal but soon morphs into gays should be given preferance. And on and on and on.

I'm 55 years old. At no point in my first 35 years would I ever have believed that this country would even consider legitimizing such a deviant, evil, perverted concept as same sex marriage! But here we are!

It appears that you doubt your own senses and reasoning.
Probably because the leftists constantly use the tactic of ridiculing people as kooks when the truth is told about their agenda, and you don't want to be labeled.

Let me state it plainly, paraphrasing your post:

The LGBT crowd are just pawns for leftists who want to criminalize religious belief CHRISTIANITY using sensitivity to gays as a cover to get it accomplished.

Notice they don't condemn Islamists' anti-homosexual beliefs? There's a reason for that.

Some years ago, Canada specifically outlawed the reading of scriptures that condemn homosexual behavior, even by pastors in the pulpit, and prosecuted at least one pastor. Eventually that was overturned by Canada's high court. So what's up with this most recent assault by the anti-Christian brownshirts? Hopefully, the earlier precedent will provide grounds for appeal.

These "human rights commissions" in one place or another, stuffed with aggrieved minorities, have tried to take the place of legislatures. The Canadian one hounded Mark Steyn for "hate speech" critical of Islamist terrorists (eventually, after making his life a misery, they lost and Steyn won). Such a commission in Philadelphia hounded a sandwich vendor in his elder years who had a sign asking customers to speak English, even though his parents had immigrated to the U.S. and had to learn English when they got here (after making his old age a misery, they lost and the cheesesteak vendor won).

First it was PC run amok; now, when they attack free speech and religious freedom, its fascism.

Canadian Pastor Fined after Speaking Against Homosexuality
Posted By CitizenLink Staff On July 15, 2010

Human-rights tribunal also orders him to stop sharing his Bible-based beliefs.

A Canadian human-rights tribunal has ordered a Christian pastor to renounce his faith and never again express moral opposition to homosexuality, WorldNetDaily reported.

The Alberta Human Rights Tribunal ordered the Rev. Stephen Boissoin to stop expressing his biblical perspective of homosexuality and to pay $7,000 in “damages for pain and suffering.”

The decision came after Boissoin wrote a letter to the editor of his local Red Deer, Alberta, newspaper in 2002 that included this statement: “Children as young as five and six years of age are being subjected to psychologically and physiologically damaging pro-homosexual literature and guidance in the public school system; all under the fraudulent guise of equal rights.”

Darren Lund, a professor at the University of Calgary, complained about the letter. “Dr. Darren Lund does not believe my views are politically correct,” Boissoin told Family News in Focus. “He believes they are immoral, and he believes I need to be re-educated.”

Dave Quist, executive director of the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada, said the case has broad implications.

“(The commission is) being used and abused … making restrictions on people,” he said. “That should be a warning sign for not only in Canada, but across the U.S., as well.”

That crowd has to know, deep in their little black hearts that they are wrong. Otherwise why do they care what we think?

Scripture makes it crystal clear in these last days that this is all coming. Paul speaks clearly of it. Christians are going to be persecuted. Our Lord made it abundantly clear that in the Last Days these people would come out of the woodwork to hurl their hate, abuse, murder, and such on those who Believed In HIM!!! Hunker down. Put your total faith in the Lord. Be prepared to defend your beliefs at every turn. Do not deny Him. He is certainly NOT going to deny you, IF YOU BELIEVE IN HIM. In times like this, simply, LOOK TO THE CROSS. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE CROSS!!

I sincerely hope so. Let's get to where we are logically going directly, so we can start shooting while we still have significant numbers.

Putting a modifier before the word “rights” ought to be declared a crime against humanity.

Judge Rothstein [...] just wrote a judgement saying that hating gay sex is tantamount to hating gays...

Okay, so logically, then, hating heterosexual rape is tantamount to hating heterosexuals.

Right, homosexual marriage is the chink in the armor that all the other perverted anti-Biblical lifestyle have been waiting for and will exploit to push through their agendas.

Including NAMBLA lobbying for lowering the age of consent.

From a couple of years ago:

If same-sex marriage, why not polygamy?

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.

Martin Luther

So we see this again with Phil. Maybe we need to remember this verse more for use against other PC policies.

Yes, the homosexuals are all "gay" and gleeful about men/men and women/women being able to marry, which is just a ploy to legitimize one of the many perverted practices now being touted as "normal." (All the rest of the "lifestyles" are waiting in the wings cheering them on.)

So were the homosexuals in Hitler's SS until they had passed their "use by" date and he had them all killed.

The fairies and fags are all excited about how they are being accepted but, one way or another, it will bring their doom.

Of course Islam calls for the death of all "infidels."

As was pointed out on another thread the other day, Iran just kills homosexuals when they are found out. Which is why their leader says that there are no homosexuals in Iran. Well yeah LOL
