If you have never heard the name
\nJessica Beaumont, you are in good company. She is not a
\npolitician, a lawyer, or a judge, but she is at the centre of a legal
\nproceeding that could well affect your right to quote the
\nBible. <\/p>\n
On October 27, the Canadian Human
\nRights Tribunal issued a precedent-setting cease and desist order which
\nforbids Jessica Beaumont from posting certain Bible verses on the
\nInternet. If this 21-year old woman posts the wrong Bible
\nquotation online – even if it is on an American website – she could
\nface up to 5 years in prison.<\/p>\n
Five years in prison for quoting
\nScripture. <\/p>\n

\nBeaumont does not have a website and was commenting on other sites
\nmostly in the United States. You can probably guess the Bible
\nreferences were to homosexuality. While she might have not made the
\nmost charitable comments in connection with the Bible verses it seems
\nquite crazy that the so-called Human Rights Tribunal would pull two
\nscripture versus as evidence and so far every case involving Internet
\ncontent that has been brought to them has resulted in a conviction.<\/p>\n
