  Just watched news that Steven Harper was in Afganistan.
He told everyone that" God Bless Canada!"

Come on, Canada is a so-called tolerance country, doesn´t he understand that many people like me do not believe god!!!!!!!!!
And our god is not his god, sux!!!!!
He is getting like GW Bush!

get over yourself. why is it my Muslim friends have no problem with it. Nobody is asking you to believe in God, but for those that do - asking God´s/Allah´s protection on our country is totally acceptable.

Canada is a tolerant country - that works both ways my friend.

Sharon:

I am with anonymous. This invocation of the various "gods" in support of national policies is going to result in a holy war.

If we keep heading in this direction, WWIII is going to be the muslim fundamentalists versus the christian fundamentalists.

We athiests try to keep our mouths shut and let people believe in what they may believe, but invoking god to endorse your politics is stepping over the line as I see it.

I think Anonymous is right, Harper is starting to sound like BushII. The next thing you know, he will want to ban gay marriage because the god who blesses him, in his opinion, does not like it.

Long live the separation of church and state!

you are over-reacting. It is a very common phrase - God bless you´. Canada uses the word God in its constitution, and in its national anthem. We are not heading anywhere. You are suggesting that we stop or change where we have always been. would you also suggest we wipe religious holidays of the Canadian calendar such as Christmas.

This country has roots. I am not asking you to believe in my God or any other God. I only ask you to treat those who do with a little respect and tolerance. I will do the same torwards you.

This has nothing to do with Bush and how you make that stretch is astonishing.

I´m with Sharon on this.

Your postings, by their very natures, are illogical, and they contradict your claims that you are tolerant and that "athiests try to keep our mouths shut and let people believe in what they may believe." If you really believe you are tolerant and respect everyone´s unique beliefs, then prove it by shutting the hell up. =)God Bless You.

Well, guys all religions all believes tend to offer a good place in the other world, and tend to create better behaved blievers and humans, but the reality is that no war, no natural disaster, no other fight, let many people die like religions...

We all fight for our religions and kill our own people and others for the sake of a better place in the other world...

When I see people arguing, having a row, fighting even killing each other for some religion I say myself, well Karl Marx was such a great man when he said ´ Religion is a drug´ and most of us are drug addicts...do funny, strange and dirty things when we are overdosed... that is fanatism, that is terrorism...

An idiot called Mr. Bush is in Iraq, and since 2003 thousands of people died, 1000 times more than Saddam killed in that country and the western world is just watching the big brother playing ´war´ games.... and some how those american citizens still keep him there ....

Sometimes I do really laugh when people blame Bin Ladin as a terrorist, those are real idiots, it was Bush and his politicians( Americans) who helped him who made him strong during Russian Afgan war, .. It is Americans who gave birth to Bin Ladin, ..it is American´s best friend Saudi Arabia (not saddam) who helps Bin ladin, and guys surprise surprise all the Guns Bin Ladin and his men are carrying are ´ MADE IN AMRICA´ cant you get a clue ???

Anyway, let God bless himself, and we human being lets educate our kids and people for a better and safe place, and for me religions if take them wrong can be the cause of another WW as Sharon expressed here ...And we do not have a war , not only in Iraq, but also in Canada or in any part of the world...

For those of the guys who talk without any facts remember I live next to Iraq, and can watch and see things with my own eyes...

I would suggest a great book to those who are interested in religions called ´ How human beings became human beings´ by two Russian writers, they very well explain the history of all religions and how human beings created their OWN GODs and Religions....This is a their list of choronological gods (that people created) The Nile, The Sun, The moon, the wind, and and modern Religions and ONE god ...do you sometimes ask youself.. mmm if we have been vcreated by the God who created him then ??? ... Nice drug to take I guess... hehhe

Good luck all ...

What was my point above ?? Sorry guys just wanted to say something and explain the things on my mind ... Just wnated to say the world in fact can be a better place without any RELIGIONS, but if Religions are the facts of our life then we should all show respect to each other..talking about religions and and beliefs will really take us no where except for hatred ...and wars... this is what Religions have done up to now... (my opinion of course..)
