During a Thursday, October 30 discussion in Ottawa about hate propaganda laws, Marc Miller, a current member of Canada's House of Commons and the Chairman of the Committee on Justice and Human Rights, pushed the idea that "good faith" defenses were unacceptable when it comes to Christians referring to passages of the Bible that he personally finds "hateful."

"In Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Romans—there's other passages— there's clear hatred towards, for example, homosexuals," insisted Miller.

"I don't understand how the concept of good faith can be invoked if someone were literally invoking a passage from, in this case, the Bible—there are other religious texts that say the same thing—and somehow say that this is good faith," said Miller.

"Clearly there are situations in these texts where these statements are hateful. They should not be used to invoke, be a defense, and there should perhaps be discretion for prosecutors to press charges," averred Miller. "I just want to understand what your notion of good faith is in this context where there are clearly passages in religious texts that are clearly hateful."

Miller's comments were directed at Derek Ross, Executive Director and General Counsel of the Christian Legal Fellowship, who testified before Miller's committee.

"I don't know that I would agree with that characterization, Mr. Chair, that passages are categorically hateful, especially not passages in the Bible," said Ross in response. "If members of Parliament are of the view that passages of the Bible are hateful, that's something that Canadians should be aware of."

Ross added: "When it comes to some of these fundamental questions, we want to preserve room for people to engage in dialogue both critical of religious texts, and relying on religious texts to seek and discern truth without fear of being labeled a blasphemer, or a criminal, or a hatemonger by those who find their beliefs offensive and would try to silence them."...
