THE CANADIAN TIMES

Many people have asked the question, why is Dalton McGuinty attacking the Church and advocating a radical sex agenda with Bill 13? He comes from a large Catholic family of ten children and has four children of his own. The answer is complex; however one major force is his partner in the campaign, American gay activist Dan Savage, who is the creator of the “It Gets Better” project. After introducing Bill 13, the Premier released his promotional video “It Gets Better” in cooperation with Dan Savage.

Mr. Savage is at war against the Bible. He calls it “Bulls—t” and blames the Bible for causing homosexual suicide. He says in an interview on the CBC that “when mom and dad drag their kids to church, and what they hear from the pulpit is God hates fags… but their children listen to that and then go to school and there’s a gay kid in their school, …They’re going to bash him in the locker room, in the hallways, in the classroom.” Savage goes on to appeal to political leaders to stop the Church from causing the deaths of innocent young people.

Mr. Savage was the keynote speaker at the National High School Journalism Convention in Seattle April 13^th. As students listened he said “We can learn to ignore the bulls—t in the Bible about gay people,” He pronounced, “the same way we have learned to ignore the bulls—t in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation. We ignore bulls—t in the Bible about all sorts of things.” A flood of students walked out in protest during Savage’s rant against the Bible; He called them “pansy a–es." (See the video here)

Savage’s vulgarity is not just for schools. He recently launched a vicious website against Rick Santorum making a play on his name that redefines Rick Santorum’s last name as the byproduct of anal sex. When Americans for Truth CEO Peter LaBarbera challenged Savage to take down “Santorum.com,” Savage replied, “I’m asking Peter LaBarbera to go f—k himself.” On HBO, Savage said "I wish the Republicans were all f--king dead."

Dalton McGuinty heard the American’s cry and went one step further. He joined the “It Gets Better Project” and created Bill 13 that promises to force public and Catholic Christian schools to host student led homosexual clubs, teach LGBTIQQ curriculum and that Churches renting school facilities on Sunday must do the same.

Homosexual activist Dan Savage, recently invited to be the keynote speaker at a high school anti-bullying conference in Seattle, Wash., promptly used his podium to bash Christians so severely, droves of the students fled the auditorium, some say victims of bullying themselves.

The National High School Journalism Convention, hosted jointly by the Journalism Education Association and the National Scholastic Press Association, was supposed to give aspiring students exposure to professional journalism workshops designed to make the journalists of tomorrow the best that they can be.

One such workshop, featuring Savage, was billed in the convention program as a discussion on how to properly report on bullying.

Is supporting homosexuality “a value that transcends every faith and every tradition and every culture,”? According to Premier Dalton McGuinty it is and must be enforced with the power of legislation.

On December 12th Mr. McGuinty visited Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School in Aurora. After meeting with the Gay Straight Alliance he held a press conference and answered a few questions from the media. In reply to an unrelated question he declared “I think we’re talking about something here by way of a value that transcends every faith and every tradition and every culture”.

PORTLAND, Ore. (RNS) A satellite church affiliated with controversial Seattle pastor Mark Driscoll was vandalized early Tuesday (April 24) and a group calling itself the "Angry Queers" has reportedly taken responsibility.

Stained glass and other windows were broken at the Mars Hill Church, according to a post on the Facebook page of Pastor Tim Smith.

"Neighbors of the church reported seeing several young adults in black masks throwing large rocks into the windows," a church news release said. "Police stated that a bank in the area was also vandalized in the same way and that they believe the vandalism was planned ahead of time, most likely by an activist group."

Premier McGuinty's Ware on Churches

The rise of intolerant secularism is becoming an ever increasing threat to the foundational platform of democracy, freedom of religion, conscience, thought, expression and association; Dalton McGuinty’s new Anti-Bullying Bill 13 is a full frontal attack. Ontario’s Premier is attempting to force Catholic’s to violate their faith by making their schools teach LGBTTIQQ curriculum and support student led gay clubs. This same Bill 13 also attacks Evangelical Churches renting public school auditoriums on Sunday.

Evangelicals are all opposed to bullying, and its tragic consequences. We applaud the government for its initiative to eradicate bullying in Ontario schools. However, we are deeply concerned with the Premier’s attempt to control religious services with a conduct clause in the proposed legislation.

On Thursday March 29, 2012, parents from various backgrounds united in a rally to protest Bill 13. The crowd, which was reported to be approximately 2,000 people in size, made their voices heard. During the rally, Ontario MPPs were inside Queens Park were debating Bill 14, which is the conservative anti-bullying bill that does not include a homosexual agenda. The MPPs could hear the shouts of “Stop Bill 13!” from the protest going out outside their doors.

The participants in the rally, who were at Queens Park for over an hour, were pleading with Ontario MPPs to vote against Bill 13 as they felt it would infringe on their religious freedom by forcing them to support GSA clubs in Catholic schools. This bill would also cause all organizations that rent school facilities, churches included, to comply with the bill in promoting the homosexual lifestyle.

The make up of a society is a group of people with common territory, interaction, culture and infrastructure. Culture is the complexity of religion, knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, morals and customs. One of the key platforms that affect and mold culture in any given society is media. In modern society television, newspapers, radio, magazines, movies, advertising and social media have become the major sources of information and education. They also are powerful forces of cultural transmission and socialization. Some may debate that mass media plays a central role in social construction. Regardless, media is a powerful instrument to inject vision, direction, ideology and even propaganda into a nation. It would be safe to conclude that whoever controls “mass media” controls cultural mindset and beliefs.

Barbara Kay: Blasphemy by any other name

A few months ago, a young Saudi man, Hamza Kashgari, expressed his views on the prophet Mohammed in a Tweet: “I have loved things about you and I have hated things about you and there is a lot I don’t understand about you. I will not pray for you.” A Facebook group of 20,000 soon demanded his execution for apostasy under sharia law. He is imprisoned awaiting trial and possible execution.

Execution for religious blasphemy? How primitive. In Canada, we merely have blasphemers called up before human rights commissions, to be humiliated and occasionally bankrupted.

These commissions, in their speech-suppressive mode, are ugly things. But they seem benign by comparison with what’s going on in the U.K., where the system seems to hover somewhere between Canada and Saudi Arabia in its treatment of blasphemers.

An atheist organization in the U.S. is taking steps to encourage "atheists in the Muslim and Jewish communities" to come out.

"Insular communities like these are designed to squelch individualism and religious criticism, making the atheists in these communities feel particularly alone -- they are not," American Atheist claims on its site.

On Monday, AA will erect provocative billboards in New York and New Jersey with the words: You know it's a myth, and you have a choice.

They believe in God, and they don’t mind sharing. Over the weekend Justin Bieber made news with his a new tattoo — a large portrait of the face of Jesus Christ inked on his calf. Bieber’s ink happened to dovetail with the Denver Broncos unlikely win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the latest in a string un unlikely victories that their 24-year old quarterback, Tim Tebow, regularly and publicly thanks Jesus Christ for helping him achieve.
