Just some updated information on a few of the points above. I've never an inspection the same day as morning PT, since you need to shower after morning PT and there's never time when inspections are always at 0700 (showers have to be dry so you also wouldn't have time). You'd never hit the 0700...
What you're describing isn't a return to tradition, but cherry picking historical examples that were not the norm to fit a narrative (and none relating to the CAF).
"I am not saying some traditions have outlived their usefulness but examine each one carefully before you discard it and don't be...
We cherry pick the hell out of which traditions matter to each of us:
"After Parliament passed the Canadian Human Rights Act in 1977 and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was adopted in 1982, the RCN changed its policies to enable women to serve at sea in replenishment ships, which...
Part of the reason some don't value a secular government is because they believe it's only for the weak minded. Apparently "the rule" means millions of young Canadians will become Christians as soon as a war breaks out. Any degree of secularism becomes nonsensical if you hold the belief that...
I wasn't being aggressive, you inferred aggression because you didn't like what I was saying. Do people aggressively say "THAT'S PRETTY SAD"? 🤣
The 'rules' you're saying I'm trying to set are pretty common manners when engaging in conversation.
You really don't understand what I was saying, or...
His opinion was that reading everyone's opinion in this thread would make someone stupider than when they started. In one post he insulted the intelligence of every single person in this thread.
You think that every other opinion, apart from a blanket statement that this whole thread is...
To be fair... in my enrollment ceremony 4 people gave the oath of Solemn Affirmation and 1 person swore on the Quran.
Younger people tend to be overwhelmingly less religious than older generations:
"Among the population born in Canada, younger cohorts were significantly less likely than older...
I would go to see a chaplain if I was deployed and needed someone to talk to when feeling stressed. They're essentially social workers that double as religious figures to those that need them to be. It would be a mistake to remove them. Expect I'd be hard pressed to find one who would turn me...
Going with edgy? Nice. Not helpful since people have been linking legal documents, legal cases and research papers on the topic since page 1. But you do look like a very cool cat :cool:
It's pretty sad that you can look at the discourse and information being offered by people who are passionate about CAF protocol as it relates to religious accommodation and reduce it to what is essentially mindless drivel. If a forum can't be used as a place for open and honest discussion, then...
I agree, people are people and suffer from the same foibles. You can think whatever you like, but please don't then define what you think as a "rule". At least not without a lot of data.
Does the military have a problem with atheists pretending they're better than everyone else and asking for special treatment above and beyond what is offered to religious people? Are people in this thread telling others they're better than them because of their lack of belief in God? I haven't...
It probably gives religious people a lot of comfort to think Atheism is a peacetime luxury. It means they think Atheism isn't a genuinely held belief (technically, lack of) and can be dismissed as a mindset of the weak. Because when the going gets tough, everyone finds God.
Total fantasy, but I...
Removing your headdress in a remembrance day ceremony isn't a religious act, I did understand your point on that matter (and agree with it). The incident I quoted had nothing to do with a soldier refusing to remove their headdress out of respect for the fallen. My focus on your original post was...
