Both sides-left and right have used words to modivate, encourage and discourage. We live in a country of democracy and freedom to express our opinion. That is a freedom that all share, at least for the moment. THe issue of truth is a two pong sword. THose who understand it are passionate and share its content, those who live on others words of truth are also passionate. If the readers and lobbyist would break down truth in terms of factual sources in steady of attacks of someones character it would hold greater water with myself. Know the truth and the truth will set you free..Get to know the source before you go a discourse....

Makes me wonder why there's never been a push to establish a Christian nation, just like the Jews wanted a country of their own? It certainly would be an outlet for the more nutty folks that want to turn every democracy into a theocracy - and, thanks to liberal tolerance and generous policies applied to legal interpretation, they may succeed to an extent.

We don't always know the words as to why we find others offensive, and although many can argue the politics elequently, the use of religious language for abuse is quite another thing. We certainly have our share of single issue lobby groups like McVety's and most believers in Canada have nothing to do with them. But, when others are attacked and we hear about it, some of us need to speak up I think. Arguing with groups like McVety's only gives them reasons to justify themselves, get some mileage and make political hay - as I think Mr. Turner finds out from time to time in his job. Thanks, that was an excellent post and I really appreciated what you had to say.

I guess my post turned out to be timely for you Canadians. Or was it the inclusion of the word "eh?" in the list? ;-) Bene,
