No, that is not what Christianity is about. You don't know what the Bible teaches obviously. Some Roman Catholics believe suffering will earn something, but that is not the kind of thing the Bible teaches, although there is some revelation that Christians do suffer in this world in various ways. I can't say that following God and being a Christian doesn't mean one won't suffer. Many Christians have suffered down through ages just for being Christians. But when one doesn't choose MAID, it is not because he wants to suffer. One reason is because he knows his body belongs to God and it is God's business to determine when he dies, not man's. That is just plain respect for God's commands and teachings and God's will.

I have studied what Catholicism is all about and I believe it is contrary to the Bible. Study the Bible and find out for yourself. The Catholic church cannot save anyone.

Just showing you not everyone dies in excrutiating pain as the MAID proponents would have you believe. Regardless of pain or not, and I don't wish it on anyone, human life is in God's hands. We don't have a right to end it for any reason except in certain cases like the death penalty for murder, self defence, etc.

I don't try to play word games with the Devil.

I can't speak to something like that. All I can tell you is what God says in the Bible. That is, that human life belongs to God and only He has the right to decide when it ends.

That's what the Devil wants you to believe. Hell is real. Read the Bible. I don't make the laws but I have as much right to oppose MAID as you do to support it. We do have freedom of speech. Do you understand that?

I was with my mother when she died of bone cancer. I didn't see any signs of unbearable suffering.

"36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. " John 3:36 We are told we are all sinners and need to be born again. All I can tell you is what the Bible says. There are only two places to go, heaven or hell.

The Devil obviously has scared you into believing you will die a slow agonizing death. Many people have bought into that lie and that is why they are choosing MAID. Such cases are very rare. Killing people is not the solution. You need to turn to God and his word and ask him to save you. Hell is no place to go.

It is not Christian to murder people or get someone else to do it. Anyone who thinks killing people is ok needs to read the Bible and get on their knees before God and ask Jesus Christ to save him. Repent and believe the gospel.

I would chose palliative care and forget MAID. I wouldn't bend my knee to the Devil.

Would you kill your own mother if you thought she was suffering too much or would you seek palliative care for her?

He must not have had proper palliative care. There are lots of pain medications out there. We don't know the details of what kind of palliative care he received. Mercy killing is not the solution. Better palliative care is the answer. We hear all the time of how people are be scared into MAID by the Devil using fear as a tool.

Yes, the whole creation around us is evidence. It required an intelligent designer we call God. As already mentioned, every effect has a cause. The universe is an effect; God is the cause.

Eco-zealots who obstruct traffic will be rapidly dragged away by police under law changes that will make it easier for officers to remove 'human roadblocks' (msn.com) This is what we need in Canada. We have seen these environmental radicals block streets and bridge for long periods of time while the police do nothing. The roads, bridges and public places belong to everyone. A fringe group of eco radicals have no right to stop the public from travelling and going to work or living their lives. Wake up Canada.

Fossil fuels good. NDP bad. New promotion line for Conservatives. Wipe these Orwellian dictators off the map. They are the real threat.

If you think fossil fuels are so bad and living in a fossil fuel world is the same as smoking cigarettes, why are you living in a building, riding in motor vehicles, and eating food all produced by fossil fuels? Don't be a hyprocrit.

This would completely destroy the natural gas industry as the NDP wants to do. No more exporting LNG either, even if LNG can replace coal-fired electricity plants in China and India.

You are being totally deceptive to defend your false god of man-made climate change. The actual proposed legislation says this in part: quote Manner of promotion and prohibited elements 8 It is prohibited for a person to promote a fossil fuel or the production of a fossil fuel (a) in a manner that states or suggests that the fossil fuel, its production or its emissions are less harmful than other fossil fuels, their production or their emissions; (b) in a manner that states or suggests that a fossil fuel or the practices of a producer or of the fossil fuel industry would lead to positive outcomes in relation to the environment, the health of Canadians, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples or the Canadian or global economy; or (c) by using terms, expressions, logos, symbols or illustrations that are prohibited by the regulations. unquote So who gets to decide whether some speech promoting fossil fuels is against the law? Of course anything that says fossil fuels are good is condemned by this legislation. Any comment, advertisement, etc. will be illegal under this law. The whole thing is a complete violation of freedom of speech. Wake up Michael. You are such a naive puppet of the environmentalists and woke.

The NDP is an Orwellian Big Brother that now is determined to control everyone's speech. Wonder how this fits in with the Charter of Rights on Freedom of Speech. Adam Pankratz: The NDP's loathsome pitch to criminalize climate dissent (msn.com)

God was not created. He always existed from eternity past and will always exist. God is a spirit and is eternal. He created time and the material universe out of nothing by his words. "3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! " Psalm 8:3-8

One thing they should do is eliminate this parole business after serving only half of a sentence. Someone sentenced to 14 years like the RCMP guy who spied will probably get out in seven years less time served. This is deceptive. It fools the public into thinking sentences are harsh but actually when they get out in half the time, the sentences are far lighter than most people think. This is not a deterrent for criminals.

No, I don't think about the climate because nobody can change it. It is just a money grab.

What affect has Canada's carbon tax had on the climate?

I have peace with God because of what Jesus did for me. I am receiving radiation treatment daily for prostate cancer and my heart is only functioning at 50% of a normal heart due to heart damage in a heart attack. I take lots of pills. I am ready when God calls me. He died for me and shed his blood on the cross. I heard the gospel 43 years ago and asked Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior. The Bible says all who call upon the Lord shall be saved. I believe he saved me. That is good enough for me. I believe he died for me and was raised from the dead and now is seated at the right hand of God interceding for me. That is my brief testimony.
