I tried to sign, but change.org works very badly for me. It never seems to record and post my signatures with accompanying comments, which is why I’ve ignored change.org for many months, now.

It’s all a political racket game. Please excuse my harshness, but the Canadian government doesn’t have an ethical religious bone in its body. The government, that is, the so-called leaders thereof, are abusing Christian religion and driving not only injustices against non-Christians, but also against true Christians, for we couldn’t support this ever being done in the name of a religion that we (… variably) believe in. Canadian Christian churches have a moral religious duty to speak out against this political injustice towards others; anyone, for that matter. Otherwise, when these churches’ leaderships become publicly criticized, then they’ll be receiving what they’ll deserve. I’m essentially Christian, but not a blind one. Many Canadian Christians, of variable truthfulness about being Christian, may be ignorant of this political decision, as I would’ve been if I hadn’t come across this page and this is the first day that I’ve learned about ijvcanada.org, too. But the churches’ leaderships surely must be aware of this political nonsense, since they surely have people rather constantly monitoring government decisions, especially those related to religion. I imagine they do anyway.

If Christian prisoners aren’t being treated in this manner, while people of other religious beliefs are, then the Christian churches have a duty to speak out against this injustice. Otherwise, their silence would be yet another strike against Christian religion.
