Canadian Government Caught Funding Anti-Christian Bigotry - And Won't Apologize

the government granted $27,400 last year to the BC Pro-Choice Action network (pro-CAN).

$27,400? Wow. What is that, $1.50 American?

In his

NATURALLY.

letter to the Minister, MP Vellacott notes:

Pro-CAN spokesperson Joyce Arthur uses derogatory labels to describe individuals who are pro-life, saying their opposition to abortion, "comes primarily from religious justifications for oppressing women" and a need to "maximize (the Catholic Church's) membership levels to maintain their worldly influence and wealth." Pro-CAN accuses pro-life Christians of being "religious fanatics" who do "little or nothing for children once they are born." She says pro-life Christians are "anti-woman and anti-child," have views which are "uninformed, sexist, cruel," and lack the ability to empathize which "breeds intolerance, hate crimes, and war." Ms. Arthur says that the pro-lifer's attitude towards women is like "the slaveholder's attitude to blacks, and the Nazi's attitude to Jews."

...and?

 

Good for them, how can I contribute?

Apparently, I'm now a nazi. What about women pro-lifers?

 

I'm sure there are pro-hamburger cows out there somewhere, too.

 

The Canadian govt. gives lots of money to lots of groups; if you dig a little I am sure that they also gave money to groups on the other side of the issue. This is really not a story and should be treated as such. BTW the source is interesting and shows an obvious bias, in the interest of being fair is there a non-biased source that is reporting on this? I doubt it since this is not really a newsworthy story.

 

As a nazi, I have too much respect for women to call them cows.

 

So there's only one pro-lifer, one slaveholder and one Nazi in Canada?

 

I wasn't calling pro-life women cows. I was calling them stupid, self-hating, brainless pawns of patriarchy servicing insecure and poorly-endowed men in the name of a false god. So stop trying to make it sound like I was being offensive.

 

Life Site?


lol

 

Not surprising from the Liberals. They often see religion as a threat.

 

And this, MiamiAce, should be the end of it. The whole is pretty silly, you're right.

Gee, I wonder why.

 

When you say "caught", you imply that they were a) doing something they shouldn't have been and b) trying to hide it. From the article, neither appears to be a supportable assertion. Additionally, it is only the statements of the complaining MP himself which substantiate the idea that the group which receives funding engages in anti-Christian bigotry.

And that's before we even get to the SFW aspect of anti-Christian sentiment.

 

Has anyone else had a look at their 'About us' link at the top?

Point 3 of their Lifesite principles states,

'LifeSite's writers and founders have come to understand that respect for life and family are endangered by an international conflict. That conflict is between radically opposed views of the worth and dignity of every human life and of family life and community. It has been caused by secularists attempting to eliminate Christian morality and natural law principles which are seen as the primary obstacles to implementing their new world order.'

So the biggest danger to life isn't war, arms manufacturers, aggressive corporations who think nothing of advocating invasion of other countries so they can make money from oil and reconstruction, (not to mention selling MORE arms),... but...

wait for it....

SECULARISTS!

Yeah, they're the REAL danger, eh?

Love it...

 

Well, if you consider "love thy nieghbor" a Christian principle, the above would seem to support that statement.

 

I covet my neighbor's ass.

 

You're a butt pirate?

 

Well at least we now know how ITN has been keeping himself busy since he was booted off Bigsoccer.

 

Yeah, I thought that was pretty much the point, wasn't it? To seperate church and state.

As to 'chistian principles'... well, they're a bit like mum's apple pie and the American way of life. I'm a Brit and even I can agree with them in a broad sense.

 

Actually, it was more "We want freedom from persecution for our religious beliefs! Oh, and um, the freedom to persecute others for their religious beliefs!"

The Colonies were clearly founded amidst religious zealotry, and produced some rather horrid laws respecting forced worship. However, by the time the States and Country were founded, the single-minded zealotry had been replaced a great deal by the importance of economics, diversity of conscience and the importance of liberty. Ergo, after the removal of most religious trappings of government, and laws dealing specifically with religion itself, the new country was left with the common laws regarding other aspects of society, which traced themselves back to pre-Christian times.

So yes, I still stand by the proposition that this Country was not founded on Christian principals.

 

Sneaky, but effective. Which of the above quotes is a US federal document?

 

....and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

Yay, religion.

 

You folks should stop ridiculing MiamiAce and just admit how difficult it is being a white Christian male these days.
