		<description>Reply 8 Michael

This kind of attitude can go both ways

Re Paul &amp; MacLeans Magazine

I&#039;ve heard a good amount of criticism at Evangelical Christians 

So, anything you&#039;d have to say might be nothing new.

About attitudes going both ways:

When the United Church of Canada formed in 1925 was a start of muting differences.

What I mean, when the Basis of Union was formed are 20 Articles of Religion muted the differences between the Theology of John Calvin (Presbyterian &amp; Congregational) &amp; John Wesley (Methodist &amp; United Evangelical Brethren)

Instead they built on the beliefs of Scheirmacher was a Romantic Liberal from the Moravian Brethren in a part of Germany that is now a part of Poland.

He was the 2nd most popular person to read about in Europe next to Martin Luther.

In Vancouver, British Columbia, I&#039;ve run into some individuals from the United Church of Canada who are rather anti-Evangelical.

An older member of my Church said, &quot;They&#039;ve always been that way!&quot;

The United Church is considered as being liberal.

It seems like they maintain their Liberal Stance.

If this situation is true with Paul &amp; MacLeans Magazine, it may be that some are trying to maintain a more Conservative Stance</description>

		<description>Tim here is an email I tried to send to Macleans about them banning me from commenting a while ago because I said something negative about evangelicals but who knows if it got through - I had to guess at email addresses.

It is clear Paul Wells is indeed one of those who carry water for these organizations but seeks not to reveal that.

&quot;Subject: re:McDonald book on Cdn Christian Right

You know Paul,

I think you&#039;ve improved quite a bit since you started at Macleans, however your credibility on this issue is rather suspect given you banned me and my little computer from commenting on anything in Macleans because I had the temerity to make some global comment about evangelicals - the exact same thing we see everyday at Maclean&#039;s and other media outlets where blanket condemnations of Liberals or NDP parties or whatever occurs frequently.

The only difference is that I went after a religious affiliation versus a political affiliation.

Unban me sir, otherwise you are very tainted and biased against any criticism of religious belief - indeed your jihad against me continues to kill me, as it were.

Is this the face of Christianity you represent? Banning and censoring critics?

I note also that often fundamentalists save their most vituperative attacks for female critics though I do not see you as a fundamentalist, I am disturbed at the many attacks on this women and the absolute paucity of evidence against her thesis - tiny little picayune elements may be misinterpreted but the central thesis is clear for all to see - the abortion change in our foreign policy, the punishment is the only way attitude and the fact that Toews and others have stated explicitly &quot;we don&#039;t need evidence&quot; we have (w/30% of the previous vote) &quot;the will of Canadians&quot;.

Those of us of sound mind and body can see the ratcheting towards a fundamentalist dogma being forced upon everyone through pain of the law.

Unban me or all those words you wrote are simply bafflegab to cover your own intolerance to criticism of religious bigotry.

Sincerely,

Michael&quot;</description>

		<description>Good for Marci McDonald

And when she met Faytene Kryskow buying some of her CDs for Faytene to take them back and give back her money saying, &quot;I don&#039;t want you to have them&quot; will only fuel Marci for more research.

Faytene is trying to stop people from investigating her. But how she goes about putting this to a stop is backfiring on her.

Faytene didn&#039;t like my good eye just like she didn&#039;t like Marci McDonald.

In both Marci McDonald and myself this adverse reaction from Faytene towards us has only fueled us to investigate her more.

Also, most thaks should be given to Dennis Gruending who started Bene Diction Blogs On. A younger friend told him about The Cry in Ottawa lead him to do a continuous investigation of Faytene Kryskow.

Also, thanks to Rick Heibert who&#039;s also done a lot of really good investigations that I&#039;ve enjoyed reading.

Faytene Kryskow thinks she can treat people like children.

If the shoe was put on the other foot and Faytene Kryskow was treated like a child, how would she react?</description>

		<description>Thanks for that  article Marci !!
Look at Israels ultra religious  right and see what it is doing to that country
Read  what religion has done in countries like  Pakistan , Afghanistan 
Check out what Muslims are doing to Europe.
Check out how many people have died in religious wars over the ages
Yes that&#039;s right about 75 000.000 and counting .
Open your daily newspaper and find out how many little kids  got sodomized last week ---&gt;yes again
Wake up, there is no god ,heaven , hell , 69 virgins if you blow up somebodies aunt ,and while you spend  all that time  looking and waiting for your god , you could have bought your wife some flowers,help an old guy across the street, volunteer a couple of hours at the hospital for sick children etc etc 
You don&#039;t need religion to make this world a better place</description>

		<description>Well over due I say.

It is time for people to see the connections between the
&quot;squeaky clean&quot; types like David Mainse and  the more radical right wingers, Mainse has been getting an easy ride for too long because of his ability to put on a facade of reasonableness.

I hope light gets shed on the more notorious elements of the &quot;chirstian&quot; right like the late Ken Campbell, one of the most hateful &quot;christians&quot; ever who had links with even worse elements of the radical right in this country.</description>
