I think the idea is to cobble a generalized/world religion.
FYI
Well, someone is full of themselves.
Ted will propose it only if he can establish himself as the Bishop of the Church of The Sauce.
On a serious note, the DNC does fancy itself as an American branch of any number of left-wing European Parties. They still worship that quaint, but horribly destructive, mystical religion called Marxism.
"I envisage a congress meeting to hammer out a code that would form the basis of legislation to regulate the practice of religion...."
A serpent. Yea. And the code will be formulated by Immans.
Great idea, leave the Muslims alone and persecute the Catholics. Unless you like snow-shoeing, there's no reason to live in Canada.
Ever notice how all socialist and those who introduce laws and requirements that lead to the enslvement of people ALWAYS say it is to benefit those that it will really hurt.
(cue music): "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony that ALL LIBERALS ARE LIARS"
Another bleating from a charter member of the "government ought to regulate everything" crowd. At least when Henry VIII tried it he wanted to boink Jane Seymour.
Now airing on frequency 666.
Will they be jailing all the people practicing non state-approved religion? Maybe send them to re-education camps? This article sent a shiver up my spine.
We can laugh at this whackjob now, but who knows in the next
10-20 years..
Keep your powder dry.
"..... legislation to regulate the practice of religion. Like the professional engineers' P.Eng designation, there would then be RRPs (or registered religious practitioners). To carry the analogy to its conclusion, no one could be a religious practitioner without this qualification."
No doubt then the government will also find it necessary to regulate the various accoutrements that go along with it... a bible tax, cross tax, prayerbook tax....... Hail Mary authorization stamps....plastic Jesus on your dashboard tax.....gotta fund all that tolerance, doncha know, eh?
Of course you leave the Muslims alone! If you mess with them, they'll kill you!
(steely)
This nutcase would be better off sticking to being retired! In the event that Canada now includes "social engineering" within the realm of Professional Engineering disciplines (which wouldn't surprise me), it would appear that in his quest for imposition of some sort of code of practice, he appears to have forgotten that one, as an engineer, should not be getting involved with engineering disciplines that one knows absolutely nothing about!
The difference is that Engineering has adopted a Code of Ethics without State interference, while religion (and the morality derived therefrom) forms the basis for that Code
BTW, I am a Professional Engineer myself. This idiot should have his license revoked or retired. This reflects poorly on the profession.
Dishonest headline. It isn't "Canadian National Public Radio" it's "Canadian Public Radio" --- the clear intent is to suggest that NPR holds this position, which it doesn't. We can wipe the floor with liberals without making asses of ourselves in the process.
Can you say Sharia?
Hmmm. One of the oppressors of religion by the
state actually oppressed two: Judaism AND Christianity.
Tell me, class. Does anybody know who that was?
I will give you a hint. He wore a funny looking mustache, shot himself in the head and he was a vegetarian who may well have had a venereal disease. (At least his personal physician was a VD specialist.)
