University of Windsor drops convocation prayer after campus atheists protest

It is a shame but I suspect that groups like this are unwitting yet powerful allies to the MSA and other Muslim groups. It isn’t so much that they create a vacuum when they eliminate traditional and benign religious references, it is that groups like Islam have a sort of immunity via political correctness and the twisting of the definition of the term racism that will grant them status as the only group not only allowed religion on campus, but it will be a crime of sorts to oppose it or ask for limits on it’s influence in the bars, restaurants and so on.

If this isn’t true already at the University of Windsor, it will be very soon.

From Yahoo News:

New graduates can still thank their god for the blessings they’ve received — they’ll just have to voice it on their own.

As The Lance reports, the University of Windsor has decided to act on numerous student pleas to remove the Lord’s Prayer from their convocation ceremonies.

Shawna Scott, one of the leading advocates for the prayer’s removal, took particular umbrage with the line “eternal God” as “the source of all goodness, discipline and knowledge.”

A student and president of the Windsor-Essex County Atheist Society, Scott explained her motivation to the paper:

“The end result of us graduating is a product of our hard work, support from our family and friends and everyone working really hard to build our own success. To us, it doesn’t come from a deity … it makes it really awkward to be there and feel excluded like that,” she said.

  1. Windsor is slowly but continually succumbing to islam. I’m not the least surprised, given it’s location & the fact that it’s always been somewhat of a sh*thole (IMO). Windsor & islam seem to be a natural fit.

  2. Christianity is the source of Western civilisation. In quite a literal sense as well, Christian doctrine civilised the breasts of Vikings, the Huns, Goths, Vandals and Berserkers. From a secular PoV, turn against Christian doctrine, and we will take the first steps back to barbarism. This will happen even if we maintain all the virtues of Christianity, because the virtues of Christianity divorced from their roots, become an even greater source of evil then simple vices.

    From a Christian faith PoV, turning away from God, removes His blessings and protection from us. As Paul points out, there are powers that are unseen, who we cannot defeat, or protect ourselves from, without God’s help.

    On a more urgent matter, I’m certain that we cannot defeat the civilisational threat that Islam poses by any secular means. A virus cannot be destroyed by antibiotics. Only the true Christian faith can defeat Islam, and best of all, release the billion or so slaves in its thrall.

  3. Don’t forget that Islam caused the demise of Christianity in Middle East and Turkey and many Christians, like many other faiths in Asia are known to indirectly pandering to Moslems and contributing indirectly to the spread of Islam, due to greed or one reason or another. One cannot expect any faith to save us nonbelievers from Islam. One can only hope to save oneselves from all the hypocrisy that caused the spread of Islam.

  4. Therefore it is not surprising, if many Westerners are growing more and more disillusioned with Christianity and becoming Atheist or Secular.Christians from Asia like to pull Europe down for being irreligious, even though too many Christians from Asia had been known to support Moslems politically, socially and economically. While Westerners Christians are doing something to stop the spread of Islam, Asians Christians are doing almost nothing to stop the spread of Islam.
    Middle East people are still the same ethnic people whether they are Christians or Moslems and if Middle East christians are sincere in opposing islamisation, they should do their opposing themselves and should not trouble the West or Europe with their internal Middle East bickering.

  5. Christianity has been under attack by the left for over 100 years, this attack using our own laws and tolerance against us is the reason that so many people are now secular, although I wonder how many of them are really religious but are afraid to admit it?

  6. In Asia, I am not surprised if those Asians Christians are mostly causing their own demise with their constant kowtowing to wealthy Asians Moslems, and thus indirectly supporting the spread of islamisation in south East Asia. The problem is most Asians (of other faiths) did not try to prevent the subltly aggressive islamisation(due to economic or political reason) till it is too late to do anything. Those Asians of other faiths should try to prevent further islamisation in Asia instead of indirectly spreading the islamisation problem to the West.

  7. After centuries of Islamic domination the other religions are scared of the Moslems, and they should be. Hopefully thinks will change in the coming decades.

  8. These rags tags go around posing as Atheists and they are nothing of the sort. They are just muslim boot lickers.
