Dear Warriors,
News Clipping : WARNING! It is only a very short period of time now until we see the Holy Bible in flagrant violation of the rule of man-made law in Canada! That is, those versions of the Holy Bible which are clear on the sin of sodomy and homosexuality! It is now Canada's law of the land! Canada sanctions pro-'gay' books for kids. Parental views cannot override imperative of tolerance, diversity. A public school system that claims to promote diversity and tolerance should not ban books that advocate same-sex relationships to kindergartners, Canada's Supreme Court has ruled. The high court said the Surrey School Board in British Columbia, near Vancouver, must revisit its ban on three books that also have stirred controversy in the U.S. - "Asha's Mums," "One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dads, Blue Dads" and "Belinda's Bouque." Concerning the recent decision in British Columbia to allow gay books to be taught to Kindergarteners, Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin arrogantly emphasized, "Parental views, however important, cannot override the imperative placed upon the British Columbia public schools to mirror the diversity of the community and teach tolerance and understanding of difference." This kind of dangerous law has already become real in Canada. One can no longer speak his convictions concerning the practice of homosexuality without penalty. It is now illegal in Canada for Television or Radio Broadcasters to use any Bible passage that condemns homosexuality. The same is true for Canadian Newspapers. Recently, a Canadian Newspaper publisher was jailed for printing an ad, which used a Bible verse condemning homosexuality. The person who bought the add and the publisher were both considered criminals and both were put in jail. This is not about 1940's Nazi Germany. It is not about the present day Communist China or Russia, or any of the totalitarian governments of third world countries. It is about America's closest ally and trading partner just to the north - with a very similar system of government and at one time protector of free speech and freedom of expression. Oh, you say, this would never happen in America! But it is! Government officials in Staten Island called the word of God "hate-speech" and forced a billboard owner to cover up a Bible quote about homosexuality. One cannot buy ads or use quotes from Bible verses, which condemn the practice of homosexuality on billboards, anywhere in New York City. At present, it is a hate crime in Canada to publicly criticize homosexuals. In Saskatchewan this summer, an evangelical Christian, Hugh Owens, and the Star Phoenix newspaper ran afoul of this law. They were fined $4,500 each because of Owen's 1997 add, which did not quote, but merely listed five Bible references critical of homosexuality. In addition, Owens and the newspaper were required to compensate the three homosexual complainants with $3,000 each. In Canada, it is also illegal to criticize any federally-protected groups on recorded telephone messages. If somebody includes on his telephone prayer line that "God hates homosexuality, but loves the homosexual," he could be indicted for inciting contempt. The penalty? Up to five years in prison and a $20,000 fine. So not PROMOTING homosexuality among five year olds is 'intolerant'. Have they gone entirely mad? Gay literature in Canada is openly advocated for kindergarteners and the Bible will soon be illegal because it is in stark opposition to Canada's legal stand for homosexuality! Lets move up our hands to Lord and pray for every faithful, in different corners of the universe, in their war against the power of darkness.
