The story, I beleive, and many others like it, is a rock solid testimony as to how warped we can become if we allow religious beliefs to overpower logic.
Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for people who have been there, and don’t want to go back. I fall into the latter category.
I belong to a “space age” form of spiritual guidance system that allows me to develop my own beliefs, and at my own pace. My conception of a God may different than yours. So be it. As for my teddy bear, if it needed a name, I would name him Jesus!!!

I like this present better, though it would go with the Mo bear quite well:

And as Damian Penney points out, old Mo el-Masry of the CICS, he of “all adult Israelis are legitimate target” fame, was for free speech before he was against it.

[From an old National Post column, with empasis by Matt]
“To turn commercial distributors into unpaid censors is impractical and flies against any notion that Canada is a liberal democracy whose constitution protects free expression. Moreover, to target only Al-Jazeera with this unprecedented condition is beyond discriminatory – it is racist.”
“What about allegations by the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) that Al-Jazeera has broadcast material that is anti-Semitic? These allegations are old news and are repeatedly issued in place of legitimate arguments. In fact, Al-Jazeera’s management has maintained categorically that no employee of its organization has ever uttered statements that could be characterized as anti-Semitic. And I believe them, because this news network – known far and wide as “the CNN of the Middle East” – recruits only the best from among Western-trained professional journalists, whose backgrounds span major British, European, and North American networks, including the BBC.”
“In a democratic society, all voices should be heard – even ones whose viewpoint some of us might oppose. My organization, the Canadian Islamic Congress, disagrees with much of what is published in this newspaper, for example. But we still support its right to publish, and the right of people to buy it.
Canadians must question the CRTC’s decision to sacrifice Canadian rights of free speech to silence an Arabic-language news network whose only sin, ironically, is that it believes in the Western notion of freedom of speech.”
