I thought most Canadians were AGAINST the government mandating what people can or cant do with regards to their religious beliefs?
I guess the whole seperation of church and state only applies when they deem it necessary?
Seems just a tad hypocritical to me.

What I don't understand in these discussions is why people are so colossally biased and negative about people who have religious beliefs. Its as if finding out someone believes in a higher power is stupid, and simply having that belief is offensive. To refer to it as "ridiculous beliefs" is hugely judgmental and unreasonable. They way one acts with respect to their belief might be ridiculous. I think most of us can agree there has been some questionable and ridiculous BEHAVIOR blamed on beliefs (Tom Cruise springs to mind), and forming an opinion on how one acts is much more reasonable that painting with such a broad brush to say all believers are ridiculous

Very well said....kudos.
I have no religious affiliation whatsoever, yet I would never claim that those who have beliefs based on such were "ridiculous". Pretty high and mighty statement to make IMO.
