Editor: It’s obvious people don’t want explanations in our attention deficient world.
So, surrendering to this devolution in communication, I will try to keep this short and as near as possible to the 12-second attention span which studies show is about all people have anymore.
Trinity Western University was in the news again recently for losing its court case in Ontario.
And well it should have lost, because no religion — no beliefs system rooted in ancient folklore — should trump human rights and dignity.
It’s time religion stops getting the levels of deference that it does in any modern society.
The best way to do that is to stop giving churches and other religious institutions tax free status.
It is ridiculous and suicidal for any modern society to fund those very organizations which promote the repression of others, from gays to woman, and consign them to the role of second-class citizens.
End of story.
