In 2005 when he suggested that same
sex marriage was a slippery slope that could led to the further redefinition of
marriage, including the possibility of polygamy, the media and government
ridiculed the suggestion.
When I mentioned polygamy to our MP
he couldn’t understand how I could jump to that conclusion. Duh!
Fast forward 12 years later.
This week Winston Blackmore was found guilty of polygamy in British Columbia. Following the ruling, his lawyer, Blair Suffredine, told the court he would launch a constitutional challenge of Canada’s polygamy laws. After all, if we can’t be told who we can marry why should we be told how many we can marry?

In a society that says that it is
morally acceptable for Bob to marry Bill then why isn’t it morally acceptable
for Bob to marry Sue, Anne, Betty, Freda and Bill? Or for Bob to marry his
sister or his Saint Bernard for that matter?
The government has already told those
of us to the right, that just because something offends our morality doesn't
make it wrong.
Society has even declared that the
moral views of the Bible can't be a yardstick for the nation, so how do they
plan on deciding what’s right and what’s wrong?
Have
a great week and remember: Some things you have to believe to see!
