HAIL MARY
All of the praying and thanking God in skilled sports activities is making a mockery of faith and must cease. The David and Goliath parable is about God supporting the oppressed to overthrow their oppressor. It’s not about God deciding who’s going to win the world slingshot championship. The spectacle of millionaire jocks praying to God, to allow them to efficiently entertain their followers, is simply flawed. With all humanity’s present points, I hope deciding who’s going to win the World Collection is just not on God’s to-do checklist.

BIGGER PICTURE
A variety of objects about gun management have appeared within the Toronto Solar these days. Listed here are my two bits price. Dependable knowledge signifies that a lot of the gun violence in Canada is dedicated by criminals utilizing handguns which were smuggled into Canada. Whereas the CBSA and our police forces are doing an incredible job in minimizing gun smuggling, like drug smuggling, gun smuggling can’t be prevented completely. The federal authorities’s response to gun violence in Canada is aimed toward authorized gun homeowners who’ve undergone rigorous coaching and have been vetted by the RCMP by way of phone conversations with acquaintances and spouses of Possession and Acquisition Licence candidates. Additionally, banning of firearms that aren’t the selection of criminals and, in some cases, banning some which were prohibited for years is mindless in terms of curbing gun violence on our streets. Our federal authorities appears to be ignoring road violence. Why is that this? May or not it’s that the feds are covertly creating some nefarious plan to disarm the populace and are utilizing road violence to assist such a plan?

BIDEN CONFUSED … AGAIN
Re “Checkmate” (Letters to the Editor, Aug. 15): This author is confused! Biden was not condoning Pelosi’s journey to Taiwan … he mentioned it on the liberal TV and media! Then he turned wishy-washy saying, ‘What hurt can it do?’ This exemplifies the Biden presidency. Blended up and no clue about something!
