Hope Aaron's not too busy - apologies for the extra work!
I find this unbelievable - over-the-top chilling. I hope the site's disclaimer covers this sort of thing.
Do you agree with the CRA that tax exemption status is a legit reason to limit what can be expressed by a church publication?

What about other conservative church publications that urge members to vote for a candidate that supports their "core beliefs/tenets" as a denomination? Seems they can say what they like. It's just the Leftie, "hopey changey" publications that are the irritant for the CRA. It's ok for ReformaCon mp's to be publicly pro- life on the public payroll!!!

According to the young author, the passages in boldface are those the school’s administrators took issue with.

It was suggested on another thread  "Are Homosexuals Sinners Thread Removed" that removing examples of homophobia and hate speech, scripturally referenced or otherwise, is a lost opportunity for members to see just how hurtful and wrong some of those posts are.

Yesterday, I had the novel and unpleasant experience of seeing the Toronto Star "unpublish" half a dozen comments on an article about Omar Khadr, written by Rosie DiManno:  fakirscanada.newsvine.com/_news/2009/02/01/2379993-what-does-the-toronto-stars-rosie-dimanno-think-of-her-readers
