Religious "insane" accomodations in Canada.

[grammafreddy]

all im saying is we that are born canadians have grew up with singing o canada in school and grew up saying merry christmas..so why should that be taken away from us...

"Born Canadian" eh? Why don't you pay a visit to the WFN office and ask their opinion on having customs taken away from those born here?

Do those customs you speak of Drew consist of casinos? Lord have mercy when will this card no longer be delt? Guess that is for another thread.

Which and whose "lord" would that be? Whoops, guess that's also another thread

Sorry GF not too sure what you mean by lord.

Like gawd, only lord. Lord have mercy = God have mercy

etc.

So I just asked which and whose lord?

There's so many to choose from

Sorry, Libelle - I was just being my usual anti-religion, snarky self.

Why GF that would be my Lord. Is there any other? My Lord is the best, He is ONLY Lord that can get you into Heaven.

Is there any other?

If you're using lord to be synonymous with god then yes there are many

But, of course is it. How silly of me to consider there might be other ones.

I know of another religion that does the thing. They get a bunch of virgins when they go to their "heaven". Do you get them, too? What good is a bunch of virgins to a female, anyway? What do the ladies get when they go to their heaven?

You mean the generic "you", right? You don't mean me, per se, right? Dontcha have to believe there's a "heaven" before you can go there? LOL

I wasn't speaking of casinos or the race card. I was merely pointing out that being "Born Canadian" and "Canadian Customs", when referring to the religious expression of various holidays, can be rather far-reaching. If one wants to bemoan a segment of the population for not saying "Merry Christmas", than that same person better be prepared to express the same sentiment for Hanukkah, Deepavali, or whatever celebration-du-jour you might observe. Heck, I have no idea what first nations celebrate, if at all, for the winter solstice (and if somebody does know, please enlighten me!).

Before bemoaning the removal of the lord's prayer from public schools, one should consider the reaction to people of other faiths praying in public schools (Like this).

The point I was making was that nobody is taking away your right to celebrate, but it seems that capital-C-Conservative-white-Christians seem to have a problem with others celebrating publicly, as somehow they have this erroneous notion that Canada is purely a capital-C-Conservative-white-Christian nation with absolutely no other heritage.

I was just giving GF a hard time.

About all those virgins in heaven ...



(and I am not solely responsible for that picture - it was PMd to me in response to my question above)

I will likely get in trouble for this but Libelle, I just couldn't refuse your request....

Love it thank you!
