Why are you discussing fairy tales as a basis for your argument about a legal situation?  
 
I was not "born with sin" I do not have sin in me. That is a man made concept that does not belong in the reality of a civilized and legal discussion.  
 
Religion is like a penis. If you have one great. You can be proud of it if you want to. But you do not have to bring it out at every opportunity and insist that everyone else think it is the best thing going.  

The Mail carriers in Saskatchewan that didn't want to deliver the conservative abortion propaganda their union ordered them to deliver the mail or face dismissal.no if ands or butts its their job just like this clowns job is to drive the bus.

The image that the letter carriers had to look at all day would not be allowed on television.  
 
It was a disgusting and inaccurate (false advertising) biology based image that did not belong in public, on people's kitchen tables, or in the hands of the six year old getting the mail. That was a despicable piece of nauseating garbage that they were forced to look at. I hope a few claimed a day or two off and counselling after having been forced to endure that mess for the whole day.  
 
This topic involves a bus with five colours ... the same colours that six year old that was getting the mail colours with all the time. There is nothing wrong with it.

Not sure what you meant by conservative, but just to be clear the Conservative party had nothing to do with those flyers, they were distributed by an independent anti-abortion group.

i see you missed the part about bigotry, funny how you can call someone bigot yet fail to realize your own  
 
I didnt say i believe in the bible but i do know many who do so i know a bit about what they think, because i have discussed it like an adult,the fact that you cant discuss religion with an open mind says a lot about you. I also believe people have every right to believe the bible if they want.  
 
altho i dont believe in god (millions or billions do)the bible does has a lot of practical advice but what i believe doesnt really matter in this discussion because the discussion is really about freedom and i see you really only want some people to have freedom

The postcards, which state “Justin Trudeau Supports Abortion Until Birth,” are from anti-abortion group Campaign Life Coalition (CLC). They are designed to shock voters, encourage the Liberals to change their stance on abortion rights and elect more Conservative candidates, the group said.  
 
They are supporters of the conservative party I'm sure the official position is they are not affiliated but their goal is to get conservatives elected

The right to believe does not include when it affects other people. Telling other people what they can or cannot do because of your personal belief is beyond the line.  
 
It was not too long ago that men believed that the bible said they owned their wives and could do whatever they wanted with them. The courts have overruled this religious belief and given rights to the wives that were previously denied. Now it is the homosexuals that are being denied equal rights because of various religions that have not adjusted to the Supreme Court of Canada ruling giving them these rights.  
 
Either the driver accepts that the homosexuals have a right to advertise their events just as much as the Singing Christmas Tree and Easter Egg hunt, or he find a new career without contact with the public.  
 
A commentator on one of the news shows was originally on the driver's side but has switched because of the continuous clammer for the limelight and staging of interviews. It sounded like he has a very cherry picked version of Christianity and only follows parts of the bible and even parts that are not in the bible.

i agree he shouldnt have gone to the media, but i dont think he is denying rights to gay people, he just wants to choose not to show support, there is a difference

to get his 15 min of fame. I'm pretty sure Calgary Transit would of respected his request had he gone to them. But instead he made a big deal of it by going to the media and threatened to quit.

He is angling for something, he was on a radio call in today they asked if by talking he was in trouble with the gag order he said probably, his boss has said that it wouldn't have been a problem but Rau claims they are just saying that now because of the publicity he is also claiming they are out to get him now because a complaint has been filed that he was texting while driving the bus, he is getting all the publicity he can, his church has a reputation for being controversial too and his pastor is taking interviews with anybody who will listen

more than likely many other drivers who would a gladly switched, and to most it's just like any other bus.
