GOVERNMENT TO PASTOR: RENOUNCE YOUR FAITH!June 10, 2008WorldNetDaily.com reports: “The Canadian government has ordered a Christian pastor to renounce his faith and never again express moral opposition to homosexuality, according to a new report.In a decision handed down just days ago in the penalty phase of the quasi-judicial proceedings run by the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal, evangelical pastor Stephen Boisson was banned from expressing his biblical perspective of homosexuality and ordered to pay $5,000 for ‘damages for pain and suffering’ as well as apologize to the activist who complained of being hurt.According to a report from Pete Vere at the Catholic Exchange, the penalty could foreshadow the possible fate of Father Alphonse de Valk, who also has cited the biblical perspective on homosexuality in the nation's debate over same-sex ‘marriage’ and now faces HRC charges.Boisson had written a letter to the editor of his local Red Deer newspaper in 2002 denouncing the advance of homosexual activism as ‘wicked’ and stating: ‘Children as young as five and six years of age are being subjected to psychologically and physiologically damaging pro-homosexual literature and guidance in the public school system; all under the fraudulent guise of equal rights.’…Andreachuk also ordered Boissoin to apologize for the original letter in the Red Deer Advocate and told the two ‘offenders’ to pay $5,000.The apology letter, Vere said, ‘threatens civil liberties in Canada, according to Ezra Levant, an author and lawyer who himself was targeted by an HRC attack.’‘[The] government now believes that if it can't convince a Christian pastor that he's wrong, it will just order him to condemn himself?’ Levant wrote on his blog. ‘Other than tribunals in Stalin's Soviet Union and Mao's China, where is this Orwellian 'order' considered to be justice?’‘This is like a Third World jail-house confession – where accused criminals are forced to sign false statements of guilt,’ Levant wrote. ‘We don’t even 'order' murderers to apologize to their victims' families. Because we know that a forced apology is meaningless. But not if your point is to degrade Christian pastors.’‘In essence, the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal is ordering to the minister to renounce his Christian faith, since his opposition to homosexuality is based upon the Judeo-Christian Bible,’ Vere wrote…”--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I was ever faced with that situation, my argument would be that it is taught in the bible. And I would say to the government that if they want me to change my view on homosexuality, that in effect I would be denouncing the bible. Then I would look them straight in the eyes and ask them, "Why not ban the whole bible? Face it. You're bigoted against the bible and not for freedom of religion." I would "respect" these types far more if they just openly said that they are evil, Antichrist, and against the bible. At least we know where they stand. But don't tell me to water anything down and allow churches to go about doing other things.

well just like the devil, people who practice evil spend a lot of time trying to trick people into believing they are somehow innocent of such accusations.

We are not decieved by this. Unfortunately our grandchildren and great grandchildren might be. If you grow up with society saying certain deviant behaviour is no longer deviant then it may make you wonder if there is really anything wrong with it. Not my grandkids. They will know the Bible and they will know the error of societies ways. Isn't it a bit weird to be living in modern day Gomorrah and already know your society is fallen? After 6000 yrs of society you would think we would learn that you can only go against God's commandments for so long until you are judged and destroyed. Government itself must be some sort of aphrodisiac that turns otherwise decent people into bad.
