Sodom on skates

Victor Penney: Sports and smut. I’m not a fan of the combination. In general, mixing anything with sexual perversion is a horrible idea, but not everyone feels the same way, at least on the surface.

Christians should fear C-9

Rory Leishman: On Jan. 26, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights delayed consideration of Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act. That is not sufficient: Parliament should defeat this freedom-stifling bill altogether and also repeal the anti-hate law provisions in the Criminal Code. Government should not stifle the expression of any political viewpoint, no matter how vile. Experience [...]

The significance of imago dei
