The Obliteration of All Things Sacred

Polygamist Leader Sues Government for Violating Rights

I should no longer be surprised, but I am.  I find it difficult to grasp just how far our country's citizens have run from the morality our foundations were laid on.  I also have found it amazing just how long law enforcement has allowed this abomination to carry on and that these perverted law-breakers are not only allowed to continue their unlawful, disgusting behaviour, but are now fighting back against the government who has sought to bring their nefarious activities to justice.

We, at SYPH and GH are proud supporters of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.  I take pride in knowing that I can celebrate my freedom of speech and freedom of religion and I take offense at those who would seek to make a mockery of such a venerable text.

I cannot seem to locate an appropriate expression to describe how I feel about criminals who aspire to use a document, which was crafted to empower the citizens of this country to live free lives, to exonerate their fallicious beliefs.

The outrage that cosumes me at the thought of young girls being forced to marry perverted old men is beyond comprehension.  This is not religion.  This is a cult.  Where is the spiritual edification of maintaining an harem and reproducing ones self an hundred times over?  I can only see one sort of satisfaction in such endeavors and it has nothing to do with spirituality.

On the practical side, how is can one man possibly properly care for 19 wives and what is rumoured to be at least an hundred children?  There is no possibility of me being convinced that each member of such a "family" feels cared for, loved and cherished by their "patriarch".

Here is my suggestion: law enforcement should continue to pursue the fight against polygamy (in the name of religion or any other) and the women forced into this aberrated lifestyle should be allowed freedom from that which binds them and given the opportunities to begin their lives anew with the support of our government and citizens of whichever community they find suitable to starting over.

The true definition of marriage in our country has already been blurred, let's not lose sight of it altogether as we have so many other fundamental truths.

Wilfred Laurier 1907 Speech

--> I think this is is something that needs to be forwarded until every Canadian with a computer receives it. The year is 1907, one hundred and three years ago. -->   Wilfrid Laurier's ideas on Immigrants and being a Canadian in 1907. 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian.  T here can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, isn't a Canadian at all. We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and t...

Spare the rod, spoil the child...

Spanked Children May Grow Up to Be Happier, More Successful Imagine this: a biblical principle that actually works! Spanking works.  I am walking proof.  While every child has their moments, if a parent uses a spanking the way it should be used, it's effective. Here is my definition of a proper spanking: the child is old enough to recognise that they have done wrong (never spank a kid who doesn't understand what they've done isn't right), never spank in anger (if you're mad, don't even think about disciplining your child, cool down before you deal with it), explain to your child why they are getting the swat (don't just spank if the kid doesn't know why), don't wait too long to spank (kids forget - discipline while the issue is still relevant) above all, let your child know you love them and that they are receiving the discipline because of that, not because you're mad about something they did or didn't do. This is how spanking worked w...

A road not travelled

Disabled Vets Seeking to Sue Federal Government Today I will veer in a new direction.  I don't believe that I have yet to compose a post in which I actually agree with the people complaining about our government.  In this case, I do. This is not the first time where the mention of war veterans has entered the picture.  I'm all for supporting the people who fight for our country as well as the freedom of others.  These men and women often go beyond the call of duty and are true patriots in my book.  To enter a profession where active duty in a war zone is nearly a guarantee you get my stamp of approval. While the government certainly isn't to blame for 98% of the problems Canadians tends to blame it for, in this case, to deduct monetary awards from injured veterans is inappropriate and downright mean.  These are the people who should be most compensated by our government. If money is the issue here, surely there are other areas where costs could be c...
