Day of Prayer

[LittleRunningGag]

Erm, I was translating his bullspit into the contradiction that he was obviously making. Note the quotations. :wink:

However, in modern times, the role of Her Majesty the Queen as the Defender of the Faith has no effect in Canada. It is used as a part of her title in documentation, exclusively, as per the Royal Titles Act, I believe (I may have the short title of the Act incorrect).

I dunno about that Five, seems there are too many "coincidences" from my point of view. Your Constitution details public monies being allocated to Catholic schools. If you add that to the Supremacy of God reference in your Charter (1982?) and the Defender of the Faith title. It leaves one at the very least skeptical, wouldn't you agree?

A Day Of Prayer,eh? As long as they keep it to the one day, I haven't any problem with it.

Yes indeed, I'd certainly agree with that. However, the Queen's title as Defender of the Faith refers to her position as titular head of the Church of England, which appears as the Anglican Church in Canada and the Episcopalian Church in the United States. Definitely nothing to do with the Catholic Church, and it has no practical impact in either country. Public funds going to Catholic schools in Canada is, or was originally, a matter of preserving minority religious rights (look up the Manitoba Schools Question), and does not imply anything about state sponsorship of religion or religion's influence upon the state.

It's only that statement about Canada being founded on principles that recognize the supremacy of God that bothers me. I suppose we should be grateful it doesn't specify which god, but the fact is that it's not actually true. Our founding documents make no mention of it, it appears only in the 1982 revisions.

Good thoughts Dex.

Re: RE: Day of Prayer

I am new here, and I may be jumping in - but let me tell you something, America is a wonderful country and the escallade in problems is visible more and more the more people try to exclude GOD from the United States, which is what the US was founded on in the first place. Anyone who does not appreciate the US should take advantage of one of our many freedoms AND GET THE HECK OUT!!!

How does a nation of immigrants [and conquered natives] accomodate all the different types of people? There are human rights and there is minority rights and there are amendments and laws that are all trying to do just that.

Equal rights, thats how!!

But then there are 'you guys'.

Your answer to the problems of different kinds of people living in the same place is simply "GET THE HECK OUT".
Nice, good answer, problem solved except that they are at your door now...

To which your answer is "BIGGER BOMBS". Nice, good answer, problem solved, except they got you by refusing to sell their oil to you.

To which your answer is to take their nation away from them, the one principle of freedom America has been most hypocrtical about.
So what? hypocracy or not, USA is #1.

But then you go to heaven, and St. Peter is there. His biggest bug is hypocrites. Good luck with that!!


LOL you are such hypocrites!!
Athiesm gets around that, join us and you stand a better chance of getting into heaven, oddly enough.
