Canada Moves Toward Criminalizing Bible

For an idea of what awaits Americans if Democrats consolidate power, look to the north, where Canada is moving toward criminalization of the Holy Bible as “hate speech.”

Via Fox News:

Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, introduced by Canadian Liberal Justice Minister Sean Fraser, passed the House of Commons on March 25 and now heads to the Senate. The measure would expand Canada’s hate speech laws, create a new hate-crime offense and add penalties for intimidating or blocking people from accessing houses of worship, cultural spaces, schools, senior residences and cemeteries.

The last part is probably not intended to be enforced. Similar window dressing was applied to a US law intended to criminalize opposition to abortion. The FACE Act was for justifying SWAT raids against people like Mark Houck, even if it was turned around and applied against Don Lemon’s gang of leftist thugs after they stormed and terrorized a church.

The sharpest criticism of the bill focuses on its repeal of a long-standing defense for religious speech in some criminal hate speech cases.

Conservative MP Andrew Lawton observes that it is…

“…incredibly concerning when a Liberal cabinet minister says that certain verses of Scripture are so inherently hateful that prosecutors should be able to press charges against those who quote them.”

On the other side of the aisle,

During a House justice committee hearing last October, Liberal Party MP Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, suggested certain passages from the Bible were inherently hateful toward homosexuals and questioned the Criminal Code’s initial carve out for religious statements made in “good faith.”

The sin of homosexual behavior is condemned in the strongest terms throughout the Bible.

Although the bill is anti-Christian, it is not anti-religious. In the liberal religion, homosexual depravity is sacred. The bill serves to uphold it.
