While I can understand the great advantages a common language would introduce to Christendom, I don't think it's appropriate to impose a language of such strong religious association upon non-Christians.
Acknowledging Canada's predominantly Christian population would make me support the idea that Christians could be given NT Greek as an alternative language in schools across Canada. And who knows. If enough anglophone Christians and enough Francophone Christians went for it, then this could help unite Christians Canada-wide. Anglophone Christians would not feel tha French is being imposed on them, and Francophones ditto for English. NT Greek could be the freely chosen language for both sides, which could thus be regarded as neutral ground between the two groups, so to speak. A Christian Esperanto, if you will :wink:
Another advantage with NT Greek is that, from what I have heard and read, it is quite difficult to learn. An advantage? You say. Yes, an advantage. If fundies are busy learning and propagating NT Greek, then they'll be too busy to engage in partisan politics.
So if anything, whenever we see a fundie engaging in partisan politics, we ought to try to sell him on the idea of NT Greek. If he bites, he's out out of politics for at least a few years as he's busy learning Greek
hey hey hey, I think we're on to something here. Whenever you see a fundie of any religious stripe, sell him on the idea of his religious language. Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Sanscrit, Pali, Persian, etc. They're probably all quite difficult. So once you sell the fundie on that, you knock him out of politics for awhile. Maybe that's what God had in mind when he chose his languages?
So there you go, secondary school students ought to be given the choice of learning their revelation language as an alternative. It'll be good for Canada. But please include Esperanto too for the secular types. :wink:
