Dear
Editor,
I
am a one of many landed immigrant who come into this land
14 years ago. I come from Vietnam where life is hard and
there is no freedom in what we all understand . Vietnam
is a communist country where there is no freedom of speech
and no freedom of religion either. So, coming to Canada
I love this nation not just because of life itself we
have but the freedom we live, we are living not under
any dictated authority, not under any pressure. I am thankful
for what we have in this very land the land of Canada.
Lately,
I read and hear from the news many new bills have been
passed from our Parliament, which are quite special the
way they are set that bring me to the concern of writing
you this letter. I wish that you could spend some of your
time to read this, hopefully, you would pay attention
to my lowly voice in this large community.
The
bill C250 sounds quite strange the way it is revealed
to me that somewhat when someone can not say what they
believe and he or she would be charged for what they believe,
they can be fine or even jail.( this brings me back to
my memory when I had been living in Vietnam, where the
communist will persecute people even the music they are
listening. ) This is to hard as hard as metal, I could
not believe in my eye that in Canada that kind of law
could have been made!!!? Will you agree with me that you
can not control someone mind, this is something beyond
reality. So, Talking about homosexual is not right in
the Church can not say as a hatred mind toward people.
We are taught by God to love not to hate I agreed that
if I hate homosexual people then I should be charged or
persecuted.
In
this case, commanding people not to do does not say of
any hatred, I think someone who are involved with homosexual
would be to sensitive to against the Church. For example,
telling our children not to steal, not to kill, not to
swear, not to smoke, not to drink then that does not mean
I hate people who steal, kill, swear, smoke, and drink...
Just the actions it is does not mean hatred like someone
defined in the thought toward the Church. I believe in
loving someone and command the people not to what she
or he does is totally different action. I think I can
not read people mind but thinking that the church against
people... I considering this is a wrong thought.
In
conclusion, I will send this letter to Sarnia Observer
paper the local paper too; Hopefully, there are in our
community people will agreed with me that Canada still
the freedom country. Will you let me believe that Canada
is still a freedom country? Will you let me believe that
Canada still a country where you can express yourself
in what you believe? Will you let me that Canada still
a country where voice has been heard, where you can have
a freedom to express what you believe, will you?!! Will
you? I am thanking you for your time as you spend to read
this letter and I even am so glad if this letter would
be revealed to your web site.
Respectfully
yours
Toan
