The Euro Peons have already lost their faith. North Americans are trying hard to catch them. Can you say,”separation of Church and State malarkey?”

For example, the code informed new arrivals to the village that stoning of women was not allowed and that pork was a common menu item.

Oh the humanity ....how awful /sarc

Half of American high-school seniors surveyed recently thought Sodom and Gomorrah were a married couple.

The other half thought S & G would be married if not for Proposition 8.

It’s like cultural amnesia. What’s it like to be a stranger in your own home?

Authorities ... insisted that an ... exclamation of, "My God!" was changed to "Alas!"

Ah, the realism of this insistence, the inherent drama. I can't tell you how many times, in a moment of anguish, I have exclaimed, "Alas!"

When really p!st it will be followed by, "... Alack!"

The article makes it clear that we must teach religion to school children, yet it says it’s wrong to tell Islamists that it’s against the law to stone women to death. They STILL don’t know what they’re talking about.

Let’s take our kids to church, where they can learn all about Job, the Holy Ghost and everything else they need to know about religion.

I may be in a minority here but I wouldn’t want my kids learning anything about religion from a public school teacher’s perspective.

Let them learn at home and in the church of your own choice, let them pray at home, in church and yes, even silently in public school if they so choose. If vocal prayer ever is allowed in public schools you can bet the kiddies will spend part of their “prayer time” on their knees bowing towards Mecca.

Please read the whole of the hyprelinked article.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did and this worries me:

"What happened in Hérouxville, I was embarrassed as a Quebecer," Mr. Boudreau said. "And it's not just Quebec that would think like that." He said Canadians have to learn to live alongside newcomers for whom religion is central to their identity. "We're going to survive as a country by bringing in people from different religions, and many times that is how they define themselves," he said. "Whether you think it's a good thing or it's a bad thing, it's there, and you have to be respectful."

So, from his point of view, the issue is provoked because of these immigrants, not because of the inherent value of knowing the religions of Western Civilization.

More BOHICA.
