Saying that christians are being opressed in our society was very surprising! Probably due to the declining church attendence etc.

I missed the first few minutes when I watched it on T.V., and her remarks about Madalyn Murray O’Hair, were quite diturbing…It sounded like Kathy thought she got what she deserved for expressing her views…

And a marxist professor? Funny how if a politician wants to implement social programs he is known to the right wing as a dirty commie…George Bush was the one nationalising banks!

Some valid objections to the ad campaign were expressed. I’m not particularly fond of the wording in the bus ads and it does make them more easily dismissed or criticized. But could also lead to more discussion given the ambiguity of meaning.

Jordan Peterson made some very interesting and thoughtful remarks which appeared to be misunderstood by some other members of the panel unfortunately.
Kathy’s remarks were much more lucid than Justin appears to think in his blog appraisal of the forum.
Robert Buckman, as usual, has a very agreeable manner and moderate point of view that probably fits the attitudes of the majority of viewers of TVO programming.
Gretta presents the very middle stream Christian perspective that has gotten the United Church of Canada into some internal controversy over the years.
Justin expressed himself well, but he did appear to get agitated with Jordan and this didn’t help score any points.

Would like to see more debates on the issues of “morality”. The Richard Dawkins clip was an excellent bit on that subject, but it requires much more time.

As for Mrs. Vospers willingness to label Obama as a, “Marxist” and ignore everything he wishes to say. This is simply intolerable as a free-speech favoring society. I myself encourage that as atheists, people should discuss these issues. But when we are to argue with ignorant, sometimes even slightly bigoted fools who prefer to ignore the things that make them uncomfortable. I don’t see the point.
