If you go back to the original ruling. And understand what was printed. Not the words of Romans 1, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 rather something more when combined with the graphics. The question was whether or not it incited hate. It was interpreted by the court as intending to. That was the why of the fine. The intention. Not the words of God . There are those who prefer to say G-d , rather than God, fearing His printed name be perverted. As far as I'm concerned that's what the ad purchaser was doing. Perverting the words of God for his own ends.

Perverting the words of God for his own ends.

No, Snowyman, it's just the opposite. The liberal thugocratic government of Canada was seeking to suppress God's words for its (the government's) own ends. That's tyranny.

"As far as I'm concerned that's what the ad purchaser was doing. Perverting the words of God for his own ends."

Ah, so you feel it is perfectly acceptable to judge the intent of someone's heart.

Then obviously, you won't mind someone judging your intents. You seem to be ignoring pretty clearly what God has said, and your intent seems to be to bear false witness.

The purchaser of the ad did not change the words of God as shown in the bible. Therefore, he obviously is not perverting them.
