"The Haitians
"were under the heel of the French…And they got together and swore a pact
to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you will get us free from the
French.' True story. And so, the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.'"
- Pat Robertson
Dear Sir,
This is in
response to your 3 questions published On February 3rd, 2014 in the Gazette.
http://www.montrealgazette.com/life/Opinion+Three+Protestant+questions+about+Bill/9455085/story.html
First, Bill 60 is
simply a reflection of the principle of separation of church and state. Nothing
more, nothing less. There is not an ounce of secular fundamentalism in that
statute.
Second, as to the
complete legality of Bill 60, I refer you to this article:
as well as to the
doctrine of the European Court of Human rights.
Finally, the truth
is that Bill 60 is not selective at all, but aims at all religious
symbols. And please note that robes worn by Muslim men have no religious
connotation at all! Worse, you dare state that "The underlying assumption
of Bill 60 appears to us to be that religion poisons everything." Your
intellectual dishonesty is typical of religious activists who have the gall to
pose as victims. The goal is simply to keep state institutions immune to
religious doctrine. Nothing more, nothing less.
Mind you, the
historical reality is that (radical) Christianity and Islam do poison
everything. The former stands for 2000 years of fairy tales, oppression of
women, and slavery, etc. The New Testament is pure antisemitic propaganda
(John's gospel being the most vicious); "Mein Kampf" was just a
modernized version, without the miracles, that did promise, however, a purified
world...
There is one sacred
value, Rev. Smith: freedom of speech and of religion.
Hence, you, and
your gullible disciples, have every right "to live out your faith in Jesus
Christ". I have not the arrogance of hoping to cure mankind from de- (and il- )lusions. Yet, being
an incurable humanist, it always breaks my heart when I see a cross worn by a
well meaning black dude (or, for that matter, a sista'), but, to be fair, in
third-world countries, souls -and black meat- can be bought very cheaply, for
instance on the Haitian market; an exquisite form of blaxploitation. If the
spectacle of a woman (or a fortiori a little girl) walled in her veil is
equally obscene, at least, you do not see too many Jews sporting a swastika.
Reverend Smith,
remember that Auschwitz did not occur in a vacuum: for Christianity, it was a
beautiful dream come true, rooted in 2 millennia of "Judenhass", the
genesis of which was the hate speech of four pamphleteers, developed in the
maleficent injunctions of a demented and misogynistic tentmaker, still loathed
by urologists (for obvious reasons).
May they burn in
hell.
