The Dominion of Canada's House of Commons passed a resolution legalizing same-sex marriage throughout the country yesterday. Okay, technically, it still has to be passed by the Senate, but I understand that this is purely a pre-forma procedure.
And so Canada joins the august ranks of those few [3] countries who have actually risen above their own prejudice and formally recognized that citizens either have rights, or they don't. You can't arbitrarily "cherry pick" which citizens have certain rights and which don't -- unlike most things in this world, it's a black and white issue.
The thought has also occurred to me to pose the question as to why, as a nation advances socially, culturally, and technologically, the so-called Christian Church seems to lose influence? Is it because those advanced nation's have matured beyond religion?
I've always admired Canada.
