Neither one offers an attractive option.Tim Schindelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03853272842640320774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25172482.post-48779098652488356062007-05-09T02:28:00.000-07:002007-05-09T02:28:00.000-07:00It's uniquely Canadian to be able to believe stron...It's uniquely Canadian to be able to believe strongly in something yet express our beliefs diplomaticaly. In the US religion is a political tool that often leads to fanatical policies. In France it is the opposite: religion is legally forbidden from mingling with politics and as a result faith has lost its place in the national psyche. I hope that what we have here could be considered a happy medium that sees people of all faiths praying for God's hand in the government without any individual agenda being pursued.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280946850300945846noreply@blogger.com
