So what they just showed they are not Hypocrites if you don't believe it don't say it.
They may or may not be spiritual and who care whether someone is a Godless
creator doesn't make them less human.
It seems to me some are still finding wedge issues to divide people and that is
what got Harper defeated wedge issues and the slow obsession with making us
all somehow moral and religiously correct according to his set of morals.
My concern is they do a good job. And what about all those moral folks who were
rebuked sent to jail or forced to spend more time with their families er resign.
Good on em for saying what they don't believe

I rather prefer, "bank on it" but "you can bet on it" is ok.

I will ditto gerry's :roll:

Most of Canada's people are between 40 and 43, Catholic, and a full 1/4 are overweight so most of the cabinet should be that, right?

They can serve doughnuts daily at cabinet meetings to solve the overweight problem. The Liberal Cabinet brought to you by Tim Horton's.

The oath or the swearing should be by God alone, and not by anyone else like Jesus or anyone else.
The oath indicates the sanctification of God's name, which makes the oath more serious, and requires the observing of their oaths.
Moreover, if anyone swears by God and then he breaks his swearing without any justification, implies that God may punish such breaker of the oath, if he is a liar in his oath or swearing.

Oh, shuddup. The term "atheist" really is way beyond your comprehension, is it not, selfie? "Oath" is not necessarily a cult term and one does not have to be a cult member to swear an oath.

Let's just see how well this country does without God helping 50% of our ministers. Seems like a pretty good test. If we notice no negative effects we can do away with the whole position entirely.

Oh, but that would offend the white, Christian majority and a few would screech out "racism!"

Northern Ontario,
Gotta wonder about the atheist press that made such a big deal out of members of parliament taking the oath in their own personal way as much as the members of parliament who think the words meant more than the intent of the oath....
From there we go to the religious nutters and the atheist nutters in this forum who think their personal beliefs trump everybody else's..:rolleyes:

Everyone is guilty of "wedge issues." The Liberals used a very popular wedge issue of raising taxes on the "rich" while making cuts for the "middle class" (even though my middle class taxes are going up with these so called "cuts")

Selfsame I once signed on to be a Trek-e you know from star wars the reason
not that I am a Trek-e but because if the had enough followers they could make
it a religion for the census takers.
I grew up with the faith knew all the names and the meanings as taught to me.
Then I grew up and moved on. I refuse to limit my life by abiding by a book that
is re-written time and again( as all the Holy Books are) to please some fat a*s
church leader. I live my life the way I want to live it.
And what I said about wedgies is likely a wedge issue. But the defeat of the
anointed ones who believed the Lord and Savior Harper was going to win has
devastated so many. To think the Liberals will likely be around for another two
decades winning time and again like the Montreal Canadians used to is just
too much I guess

Trek-e is from star trek. Not star wars. a star wars fan somewhere is reading this and grinding his teeth, tightening up his or her fists and probably going very red right now...

If you are going to worship a God, at least get it's name right.

The force is not with him. Scotty needs to beam him somewhere.

It's "trekkie," and trekkies prefer "trekker." As Twila says, it's Star Trek fans, not Star Wars fans.

Star Wars fans are commonly called "geek," "wimp," or "retard."
