Government of Alberta Orders Pastor to Renounce His Faith.

I read this account (and the supporting material) on a blog and must say I'm amazed. A pastor who made critical remarks is being told that he cannot criticize homosexuality in public or sermons or private email! You may not agree with his criticism, but it is getting mighty dangerous when the government is the arbiter of what is acceptable thought and words. If something is slanderous or libelous let them be sued in a real court with real laws with real evidence. This is another example of these jokes called the "human rights tribunal" where the rule of law does not apply.

Let's hope that this gets turned over... You can click on it to get the rest of the story.

Lindsay Blackett, the freshman Alberta MLA who is the Minister for Culture and Community Spirit (I'm not kidding), has finally responded to the avalanche of mail he received when his government sentenced Rev. Stephen Boissoin to a lifetime ban on preaching his Christianity. He supports the ban.

More than two months ago, Blackett's fellow Tory, Lori Andreachuk, was the human rights commissioner who issued a Stalinist order telling Rev. Boissoin that he not only was banned -- for life -- from criticizing homosexuality, even in sermons or private e-mails, but that he had to positively renounce his faith in the local newspaper.
