Hey, I don't know how many of you guys are Canadian, but i am and i voted monday jan, 23. My Fiance did not recieve a voters card in the mail to take to vote. With out this card you have to register.

Well, when she went to register the person told her that you don't have to swear on the bible any more...you just sign the paper...They took God strait out of the election!!

She also said, if you want you can just say "under God" in your head after you read the paper.

That's rediculous don't you think....I mean first out of the classrooms, then the constitution, and next the election....What's next, the churches?!?

I don't know too much about your political parties and candidates but it sounds like the people of Canada spoke loud and clear in this election I hope the change will be a change for the better.

God Bless,

Well i don't know about "loud and clear" considering it's only a minority Govenment ....this means that the new Primeminister Stephen Harper has less than half of the vote of Canada.

the rest of the votes went to the Liberal, NDP, Block Quebecois, and the green party....

I am Canadian and all I can say is I voted and I am going to pray for our new leader. He is going to need it.

I saw the bible sitting there when I went to vote and I was happy for that.
At least the bible was visible to all. This was at least a good thing.

So far I haven't been shut up for speaking Jesus. I will continue to do so.
Maybe you will see me in jail one day, but i am not going to deny my faith
in Him.

Nice to hear from you.
God bless

A lot can be said here but I’ll focus on the swearing in part.

James 5:12
Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.

Matthew 5:33-35
"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

Matthew 5:36
And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

I basically see the whole world as Babylon so I’m not surprised to hear that God isn’t wanted in our schools or government. As a matter of fact I’m happy to see it come to pass because the scriptures tell me that these things must first take place before Christ comes.

Signs of the time...

Praise God – He told us ahead of time.

How interesting, the whole world as Babylon. You might just have something there.
I can see it too. The whole world is like Babylon. Not just one country that is for sure, but many if not all. Where is a country that is totally committed to our Lord and Saviour. Yes I see that there is only a few that are on the narrow path.

It's getting lonely here on earth. We must speak out and never be ashamed of Jesus. If we are He will be ashamed of us.

Thanks for responding K.D. I feel we are a nation very much divided on many issues. So please pray for us that God's will be done.
