Godly Work???

I like many of the writers in the National Post, but increasingly their editorials are bizarrely out of touch. Increasingly they are blindly conservative, increasingly an us and them rag.

Comments sent today on thier stomach turning editorial endorsing god as having some monopoly with doing good work, as if she exists in the first place.

.................

Once again your lead editorial destroys the credibility built up by the fine work most everywhere else in your paper. While freedom of association is the basis of the editorial and I support that the implication that unless your divinely inspired you cannot help the less fortunate is noxious. Assuming religious institutions should be given protected status to discriminate as they want is dangerous; even worse than McDonalds too given the extreme basis of the major religions. Hey did they read themselves a little while ago when they said religions must be held in check on discrimination: wait I guess that was another religion so it's different? To pen an editorial looking like it's from an extremist monk in the 15th century is just wrong. This section of the paper went immediately to the litter box, no waiting for the old one to be soiled.
