Cannuckistani Cult Drug Pushers Sue -
08-09-2007, 01:49 PM
Why they have to sue the republic of Cannuckistan is beyond me. I thought they handed out the marijuana in every elementary school and city hall for free up there. THIS is an affront to Christ.

Church ministers sue Ottawa for pot privileges
Church leaders who believe it's their religious right to smoke marijuana have launched a multi-million dollar class-action lawsuit against federal officials.
The lawsuit alleges the federal government is breaching the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and is claiming $9,000 worth of damages for the estimated 4,000 church members it represents. It also seeks $25 million in punitive damages.
Rev. Edwin Pearson and Rev. Michel Ethier, along with lay preacher James Hoad, filed the statement of claim with the Federal Court of Canada alleging that members of the Church of the Universe are constantly being harassed and "denuded" of their dignity as they are often searched and stripped of their "sacramental cannabis."
Ethier has been convicted of marijuana possession six times since 1998.
"The Defendants (acted) in misfeasance of their office by seeking and obtaining convictions, the imposition of fines, imprisonment, or both fines and imprisonment of class members," states the claim, which was filed on Aug. 2.
"(Their action) has inflicted mental anguish upon the class members and denuded the Church and its parishioners of equal dignity in communities where they reside and worship," it says.
The lawsuit also argues that cannabis is used in the sacrament of Communion and is therefore a part of the Church's rituals.
It says ministers have a duty to teach parishioners about using marijuana to enhance their ability to understand and speak with God.
It also claims followers of the Church of the Universe are not treated equally with followers of Christianity or Judaism as those religions are allowed to use alcohol in some of their religious ceremonies without repercussions.
According to their website, they have gone before a judge several times to defend their use of the drug, fighting on grounds the prohibition violates their human rights.
Marijuana is the key to being closer to God, according to the Church's website. Here are some of their fundamental beliefs:
- Church members are required to use marijuana, which they call God's Tree of Life, as a sacrament in their lives and worship.
- Church members are encouraged to surround themselves with marijuana, not just inhaling it, but wearing it, growing it, writing on it, eating it, etc.
- Clergy are mandated to wear head gear such as turbans or yarmulkes.
- Ministers of the Church of the Universe can also facilitate the needs of their members, with marriages, baptisms and funerals. Basic to these events, however, is the experience provided by sacramental cannabis use.
- Members of the Church of the Universe are required to seek social communion and personal transcendence through solitary or group sacramental cannabis use whenever they personally feel it is appropriate to their spiritual development and connection with higher spirit.

No wonder they need to dope themselves up all the time:

Whoever thought it was a good idea to put ragheads and pseudo-Joos in the same room must've been wrecked.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Disgusting! Even in the not-so-great white north, whackjobs are trying to get activist judges to grant them special privileges, thereby intensifying the persecution that we True Christians™ face on a daily basis.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.
