How would prohibiting plural marriage conflict with freedom of religion? If you're thinking about Islam, at least one Muslim state, though it recognises plural marriages contracted abroad, does not allow contracting such a marriage in its own borders, and almost all Muslim states have laws that discourage polygamy. Only Libya has no such laws.

I think that he's advoocating that we outlaw the Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints church.

Does free religion mean the girls can wear "le voile" in town?
In this case I disagree with free religion.

I say the voile because I can't find the word in English.

It would be nice if you could keep focused on the discussion and not wander. Unless the priests are applying to enter Canada and have been convicted of pedophilia, your statement is nonsensical. And pedophilia is not a religion. Nor is it sanctioned by the RC church.

Actually, it is so widespread that you have to wonder if it is indeed occlude church doctrine to use defenseless children for sex by clergy. It happened to a close friend of mine when he was seven-eight and his story is by no means unique. Frankly, I trust Imams a lot more than that corrupt lot.

Whether pedophilia is widespread within the RC church or not, the thread is about people entering Canada and being able to practice their religion of choice. Pedophilia is not sanctioned by the RC church. It is not part of RC doctrine.

You're as bad as Nassir and some others. Learn to stay focused.

Never trust a person because they self identify with a school of thought that is held in esteem by some

I don't trust a person because they say they believe something. Predators go where the prey is.

Freedom of/from religion is a personal thing and applied only to things that effect only you. Threats of punishment for not abiding is ridiculous and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the human animal.

Canada, and every other country, is already there.

Since the dawn of time, nature has utilized peer pressure to get members to conform to the requirements of the group. Animals who conduct themselves differently from the rest are ostracized or killed. It is how nature ensures continuance of the species.

WRT humans, they are no different than deer, hippos, monkeys, etc. in this regard. We single out people who are different. We pressure them to conform. You felt this yourself when you were a child. It continues throughout everyone's life.

You cannot undo millions of years of evolution, in the span of 10 or 20 years. Especially by making a law saying it's not permitted. Mother Nature takes precedence.

Wow. Someone with a brain. This is refreshing

I awnsered yes to the question. But limits need to be enforced on numbers of religous freaks allowed in to ensure our education system can properly prosess them fast enough for them to realize how silly their religions really are.

Anyone with a proper education can see how stupid religious beliefs are

You can take one man's trash to another mans treasure but you can't make it drink.

Education, curiousity and freedom to question should take care of superstition which religion is a type of. Talk of torment for not also towing that line is a form of emotional/mental abuse.

50% less chance of you kid being diddled at an RC Church/School/Event than in the public domain.

I know, facts sucks eh?

Here is the latest and it is by no means a unique story.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...d-children-found-at-tuam-orphanage-in-ireland

800 babies died in a decade in an Irish convent and were buried there, without dignity. This didn't happen hundreds of years ago. I happened in the 1950s. How could conditions have been so deplorable in a post-war institution as to have resulted in the death of 800 babies? It sure looks as if the nuns were murdering babies and them burying them in unconsecrated ground, lest their crimes be found out.

How can such a vile death cult have been let into this country? Shouldn't they have been vetted for Canadian values before their priests were allowed to set up shop, here?

Wrong.


Prove your bullshyte accusations. Let's see the stats that show it is "wide spread".

Mother Nature corrects what she determines are aberrant behaviours. It is a natural, not artificial condition. It is not an abuse. It is basic survival. If not for this, humans and other species would not be here. We would have died off long ago.

Quickly pulling the definition off the Internets, we see abuse as - using (something) to bad effect or for a bad purpose; misuse. There is no bad purpose in nature.

Mother Nature wants every species to continue, so certain things are programmed into our DNA. Some say, 'hardwired into our brain'. The herd concept is briefly explained here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior

Legislation cannot instantly change what is part of everyone's being. Coming up with rules to counter involuntary (re)actions is silly. Change takes time. You are talking about a difficult, lengthy process. It is not like switching a light on or off.
