Meet William (Bill) Whatcott our Canadian neighbor.
Following a documentary made on Bill Whatcott's conversion
to Christianity and his biblical stance on abortion and sodomy, he has
been placed in front of multiple courts, tribunals, and finally the
Supreme Court of Canada.
Last month the Supreme Court of Canada
released its long-awaited decision in the case of Saskatchewan Human
Rights Commission vs. William Whatcott.
The court ordered that Mr.
Whatcott pay $7,500 in damages, as well as staggering legal fees to two
homosexuals for loss of “dignity, self respect,” and “hurt feelings".
Bill was found to have violated Saskatchewan's human rights code; a
flimsy excuse for hate speech, after he distributed HOMEMADE FLYERS
throughout Canada. In one, he voiced opposition to teaching students in
Grades 3 and 4 about homosexuality, stating: “Our children will pay the
price in disease, death, abuse and ultimately eternal judgment if we do
not say no to the sodomite desire to socialize your children into
accepting something that is clearly wrong.”
After reading about
the Whatcott pamphlets in church, a complainant decided to speak
against the biblical concepts regarding homosexual behaviour.
So the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Biblical speech opposing
sodomite mis-behavior, including in written form, is essentially a hate
crime, thereby restricting distribution of literature opposing
homosexuality, even the text of sacred Scripture.
The Supreme
Court found the two flyers that constitute hate speech were titled "Keep
homosexuality out of Saskatoon's public schools" and "Sodomites in our
public schools."
"It's dreadful," Bill said of the decision. "It's a dark day for Canada."
A Saskatoon man who was one of the complainants in the case says he's
pleased, too; refering to David Arnot, chief commissioner comments; "It
basically says under no circumstances should hate speech be tolerated."
Now we are to except that this includes the Holy Bible and its opposition to sin and the provision of a Saviour.
COMING TO A COUNTRY NEAR YOU!
