Irrelevant to my point. The point is the organizational means to "witch hunt" those who do not fit the expected mold of the government or societal ideal.
"Witch hunt" would be my description of a mob willing to point at a person and call him/her a sinner.
Lol, you have made no point other than it is the states responsibility to teach values and religious schools shouldn't teach religion. 2 very bizarre positions. Although you have introduced a new nonsense thought. Only you can define what is religious teachings.
You don't even know the church's teaching on homosexuality.you do realize the church does not teach that being a homosexual is a sin.
Again you are the only person in this discussion showing bigotry and intolerance. But what do you expect from someone who doesn't recognize state intrusion as a problem?
I've read all of BruSan's comments and they are basically summarized as, only the State has the authority to tell children what morals and ethics to follow, to hell with parents.
The problem most atheists seem to have is that they assume all Christians are like the Westboro ones that are extremely few in number.
Liberals usually are the most bigoted people, but they try to hide their bigotry behind the "tolerance and open-mindedness" banner especially when it comes to "marriage equality" and a "woman's right to choose"
"Under Alberta’s new Education Act, homeschoolers and faith-based schools will not be permitted to teach that homosexual acts are sinful as part of their academic program, says the spokesperson for Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk. 'Whatever the nature of schooling – homeschool, private school, Catholic school – we do not tolerate disrespect for differences,' Donna McColl, Lukaszuk’s assistant director of communications, told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday evening."
Then you redefine the meaning to fit your subjective use.
A witch hunt specifically targets and goes after the accused to render judgement and punishment.
Calling another a sinner is simply an acknowledgement of a particular religious beliefs views, an opinion or such.
Those who would confuse the two so easily betray their motive.
No, I'm simply re-using an idea, with consistency. The only difference between accusing one of witch craft and another of being a sinner, is the accusation, "the crime", itself.
Why do some people feel the need to point fingers at others and call them sinners or witches?

Strange how it's conservatives running the show up here and even they see keeping this "Homosexuality is a sin" crap out of our schools is the right, correct and christian thing to do.
Teaching intolerance in the school system will be your undoing folks. Young minds grow up to be resentful minds if they discover after they've matured, you've been feeding them bullcrap.
What about teaching intolerance for religious beliefs, such as you are trying to convince us is all right to do?

Another one who can't read. Nowhere have I stated there should be ANY teaching of intolerance towards religion in general.
Brother, you people! I am not intolerant of religion nor am I propsing any intolerance towards religion be taught anywhere.
REALLLY SLLLOOOWWW NOW, so you can read what I'm saying.
Religious biogotry or intolerance such as that displayed with the "Homeosexulaiy is a sin" crap should not be taught in schools under the guise of religious beliefs.
Don't any of you understand that religion has been and will continue to be taught in schools in Canada with no objection from anyone UNTIL they begin to preach hate or intolerance about a readily identifiable group or minority.
Please re-read the thread.
I object to the particular teachings of anyone, using the cover of religion, to propose hate or intolerance towards any identifiable group or minority.
I really don't know how to make this any plainer for your quantum-leaping reading into posts things I am not writing.
If you folks I'm encountering on here are an example of the religious right down there then I would indeed suggest the words zealotry, xenophobia and many other would be appropriate to describe your condition.
You see, I don't believe those such as yourselves are religious at all. Yep, you have the cross on your garage door and the fish on your bumper and attend church, and perhaps even a bible in your glove compartment, but your beliefs are those of sanctimony only and do not jibe with anything the Lord sacrifced his son for. All those sins you want to burden young minds with have already been forgiven and lest you've forgotten your scripture, your harping about them is contrary to everything he wants us to believe. Religion is about love, understanding and compassion. It's not about using it as a tool to further your personal agendas of intolerance and hatred.
Children are called innocent for a reason. those such as yourself would find it acceptable to begin programming them with fear and hatred towards their fellow human beings. The really sad part is, you can't even see that.

So, basically, you are saying that parents should not have the authority to bring up their children and only the State has moral authority? And you keep incorrectly stating that Christianity teaches bigotry towards homosexuals.

If true, this makes for a non-issue.
