Subject: Re: God speaks

(V): I do think it is fair to say , other than some theocratic hotbeds , no major countries in the world would allow a party as closely tied , and willfully adhering to religion in their party policy to get anywhere near to control of their country.In Canada you would be dead in the water .Our Conservative party (which I support) would ban abortion if they could , but they know it would never get the required support, so it is a non starter.So they get my support for their fiscal policy, their social policy is held in check by the knowledge they would be finished if they tried to ram it down our throats

The Col: A recent attempt was made by one of our Conservative MP's to change the date rules. It failed. Using religion as a 'standard' can't be done here, there are so many different religions, let alone Christian styles.. it would be a nightmare.

Plus, we are well aware of the danger of 'A God' driven system. Our country's history is laden with examples of what happens when a religious or ideological style goes of the deep end.. never again!! I hope
