And the CRTC is a group of pompous fools that are extremely out of touch with the public concerning a variety of subjects. I might add that a lot of people think they're out of touch with reality, too. So what?
A thousand you say....wow....that's....what the hell are you talkiing about??
I wonder if a good therapuetic boot in the head wouldn't correct your thinking about that?
Yeah. There's nothing like being a non-conformist in North America as far as religions go. But it is getting better and people are accepting there are other religions.
On the easter weekend I taped as many news shows as I could and I came up with 4 news sources that:
said something along the lines of: Friday is the death of our savior Jesus Christ
These medias were
Citytv Toronto
FOX News Channel
ABC
Global

You have WAY too much time on your hands.
Face it...is it really a big story....BREAKING NEWS: Jesus...DEAD! More at 11. I think most people are aware what easter is all about.
It's about eggs....chocolate eggs.
The bible is only as good as the faith one places in it.
Many people believe the bible exists as a book of revelation.
To some it reveals nothing, and yet to others, it reveals who the creator is.
Either way, the ladder holds the key.
If, taken seriously, hell is turned into heaven, for there we find peace.
The existence of death and hell: the flesh created.
The existence of life is: death to death and hell.
Death being eternal separation from God, and hell being the holding place for that separation.
At out death, the flesh returns to the earth of which it came.
But you, whoever you are, if not now, but at death will receive eternal life, for than will you recognize who Jesus is.
The joy of recognizing Him now verses at death is far better , because we would have had an opportunity to learn and exercise what it is to be like God.
To be like God is to be above what the flesh can not be, and that is spiritual.
The flesh knows nothing but what the flesh can endure. As soon as the flesh suffers decay, decease or death by other causes, then that is the end of it.
So the flesh could never be like God, but only the person that is in the flesh can.
The spirit of the person is what defines God, either God is dead or God is alive.
The answer, then lies in the pages of the book, the bible.
We, being our own judge, in that matter.
We live or we're dead to God.
There is no in between.
There is darkness and there is light.
The light is preferable.

Well, self-appointed preacher is here. There went the conversation. :roll:
Hey, maybe we should make chocolate bibles. Then we could all be filled with the word of "the lord".
Course, we'd have to get a bigger rabbit to deliver them. Or get more rabbits.

You've gone a little over the top here, westmanguy, and incidentally provided a nice example of why religious and secular authority need to be kept separate. You've claimed to speak for all Canadians, or at least all Canadian men, on the subject of atheism ("the most volatile worst thing a man can be" and "worse than a person killing a thousand men," for instance) and homosexuality.
I'm a Canadian man and you don't speak for me. You're not even close. In fact I disagree very strongly with everything you've posted here. I'm an atheist, by which I mean I don't believe there is a god (not that I believe there isn't one; that's not the same thing and I don't think it's a defensible position), and you're telling me that I am the very worst of men, worse than a spectacularly successful psychopathic serial murderer. What would you do to people like me if you had the political power to do whatever you thought was right by the lights of your religious belief?
Power is uniquely corrupting to religion because religion considers itself to be uniquely right, as you have clearly demonstrated here, so it feels it has both the right and the duty to interfere in the lives of people who don't believe, or who believe differently. And not just interfere; history is replete with examples of religious believers treating those who don't share their belief with unspeakable barbarity. And the Bible sanctions it. The Old Testament tells us to kill the leaders of other faiths and burn down their houses of worship. Your beliefs and attitudes, as you've expressed them in this thread, make you dangerous, intolerant, and not to be trusted with any kind of power or authority. Frankly, I'm glad I don't know you in real life, though I know plenty like you. We wouldn't be friends.

There is such a closed space in that mind of his, and he deserves our utmost pity.
I'm so glad I'm not going through my life, not being able to see "clearly" and without a happy
thought for others, who find their way through this life in a good way, and that does not mean
they have to believe in God, or not. It means they have found a way to be a happy earthling,
and reading what he and many others think of us, makes him a narrow minded man, who cannot
appreciate all the dimensions there are in all people.
