Preaching Against Homosexuality May Soon Be Considered A Crime

In Canada, there is growing concern that preaching against homosexuality may soon be considered a crime. Many Americans have been keeping a close eye on political developments in Canada over the last few years as homosexual rights are increasingly being written into law. Now the director of the International Bible Society (IBS) in Canada is predicting that the federal government could soon add homosexuals to the list of groups protected by laws against so-called "hate propaganda." Donald Brooker of IBS says the bill could permit Canadian officials to ban parts of the Bible as hate literature. If the bill becomes law, as expected, Canada's Supreme Court may have to decide if homosexual rights are more important than religious liberty. Brooker notes that Canadian judges have already ruled that the nation's constitution gives homosexual couples the right to marry.

If they can make it illegal to quote the bible on homosexuality, the next thing they'll claim is that preaching the Gospels is a hate crime.

Of course, they wouldn't dare touch the Koran.

No, they won't. The "Social Gospel" is too useful to the Marxists.

Will they replace Biblical illustrations by Dore with those of Mapplethorpe?

The the gun registry bill was passed, there were large numbers of people who openly defied the law daring the authorities to arrest and charge them. None of them were arrested or charged.

This liberal government may have the seats to pass laws like this, but they don't have the will or power to enforce such laws in the face of widespread defiance. Think about that.

Actually, there have already been several cases where freedom of speech and religion have been infringed in the Canadian courts on this very issue. Believe me, this is one issue they have the will and will have the means to persecute anyone who stands up for traditional Christian moral teaching on sexuality.

Sounds like it is time to organize a "liberate Canada" movement. Except for Quebec, we should consider annexing Canada. Of course, we would have to get rid of all their pols first.

We are not far behind Canada on this,if at all. I would not be surprised to see it happening here very soon. God help this country!

A person can't strike up a cigarette anywhere these days because it offends people and because they are "physically" hurt by it. But, it is ok for Homo's to act unnaturally in public with people offended and morally hurt children because they think it is ok.
