Not true, this verse is about you to everyone, always, and is the foundational to the message of Jesus. I never assumed that you were from a third world country. I was saying that you were treating people from third world countries in a manor that you would not want to be treated in, if you were from a third world country. There seems to be a lot of anger there, and not much love.

So true. Faith should bring us together and make us stronger, not divide and destroy.

As a Christian you should be following what Jesus said in Matthew 7:12 “ So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” I would have to assume then, that if you came to Canada from a third world country, you would want people here to reject and condemn you for being different. Are not people from other counties also children of the living God, or did they have a different creator? If you assume that Jesus doesn't love those that you do not, maybe your bible is worded different than mine.

Many of us believe that multiculturalism is preferable to monoculturalism. If you are looking for a national identity, how about being known as a people that embrace all of our fellow humans. If we are open to other cultures we might find an energy, and humour that enriches our lives. Not all upper lips need to be stiff.

The bible doesn’t say that NDEs, are a message from a christian God, neither does the study that I referenced. I posted a link to the study, in case you wished to take the time to read it, which I am guessing you didn’t. The study states that there seems to be no signifigant difference between the experiences of dhristians, and non christians. Cross-cultural study of near-death experiences Portions of the NDERF website, including the questionnaire, have been translated into 23 different languages. Over 500 near-death experiences in non- English languages have been shared with NDERF over the years. Dozens of volunteers have translated the non- English NDEs into English. Both the non-English and English translated versions of the NDEs are posted on the NDERF website. Over 60,000 people currently visit the NDERF website each month. Many website visitors are bilingual and this help assure that the NDEs are accurately translated. My investigation of NDEs from around the world that have been translated into English shows that their content is strikingly similar. If near-death experiences were considerably influenced by pre-existing religious and cultural beliefs, it would be expected that there would be significant differences in the content of NDEs from different cultures around the world. However, in my review of over 500 NDEs from dozens of countries around the world I found impressive similarities in the content of these NDEs. I investigated 19 non-Western NDEs, where a “non- Western country” was defined as areas of the world that are predominantly not of Jewish or Christian heritage. These 19 non-Western NDEs were compared to a group of NDEs shared in English from Western countries that were predominantly English speaking. This investigation concluded:

Mirriam Webster Essential Meaning of science 1: knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation. The bible tells there are two parts to man. Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Jesus died on the cross, and was resurrected 3 days later. He however told the thief he was crucified with that accepted Jesus as his redeemer in Luke 23:42-43 “Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” When Jesus and the thief died on yhe cross, their bodies died, and their spirits returned to God. This is a familiar theme in what is referred to as near death experiences. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6172100/ Near-death experiences (NDEs) are reported by about 17% of those who nearly die. NDEs have been reported by children, adults, scientists, physicians, priests, ministers, among the religious and atheists, and from countries throughout the world. While no two NDEs are the same, there are characteristic features that are commonly observed in NDEs. These characteristics include a perception of seeing and hearing apart from the physical body, passing into or through a tunnel, encountering a mystical light, intense and generally positive emotions, a review of part or all of their prior life experiences, encountering deceased loved ones, and a choice to return to their earthly life. The NDERF survey also asks, “If your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience was different from your normal everyday consciousness and alertness, please explain.” In response to this question, NDErs commonly reported that consciousness during their experiences was “clear”, “more aware”, and often associated with heightened awareness. Near-death experiences often occur in association with cardiac arrest.5 Prior studies found that 10–20 seconds following cardiac arrest, electroencephalogram measurements generally find no significant measureable brain cortical electrical activity. A prolonged, detailed, lucid experience following cardiac arrest should not be possible, yet this is reported in many NDEs. This is especially notable given the prolonged period of amnesia that typically precedes and follows recovery from cardiac arrest. Science has no answer to these events, because the spirit can not be observed or experimented on, but the Bible does.

I think that it is time that original peoples choose what nationality they are. If they believe that they are not subject to Canadian laws, or obligated to pay Canadian taxes, because they are a separate and independent nation then they shouldn’t be entitled to Canadian social assistance, education and medical services. These should be reserved for Canadians. Choose one.

You are right in saying that there have been many abuses in the past, we can’t change that. Keeping score, and revenge for past injustices is what led to ethnic cleansing in the Balkins, genoside in Rawanda, and terrorist attacks around the globe. You don’t fight racism with more racism.we should remember the past so we can hopefully do better in the future. What we need to do now is make the best Canada for everyone. thinking that anyone who disagrees with you is a lesser person, and that you know what they think is a sign of arrogance, and could be expected in someone who embraces racism.

The problem is that Canadian policy is based on racism. I pay taxes because I am not of the valid race. If I break the law I will be arrested, because I am one of the Invasive races. If my children go to university they pay their own way. Students who are of the valid race go for free, not based on need, based on race. Canada should be free of policy that treats people of different races differently. We should not believe that racism is okay if the intentions are good. Racism is wrong and evil always.

I don’t believe that people should be able to cause damage to other people with impunity, especially by unlawful means. I am surprised that I have not heard of anyone seeking damages in a civil legal action.
