That seems like an incredibly extreme position. So, I take it, you oppose, as a matter of principle, accessible parking spaces? The various provincial Human Rights Codes? Pay equity legislation? Child pornography offences? The list goes on and on. Those are all steps taken to address perceived vulnerabilities of people grouped in some way based on a personal characteristic.

EDIT: Perhaps I'm misstating your position. You seem to be suggesting that these steps are motivated by an ideology and dogma similar to religion. From that, I presumed that you were critical of or opposed to them. That may not be the case. In any event, I still don't understand your position.
