VANCOUVER (CP) - Former New Democrat MP Svend Robinson pleaded guilty Friday to stealing an expensive ring in an act his lawyer said was a "cry for help." Judge Ronald Fratkin later handed him a conditional discharge.
Even Crown prosecutor Len Doust said Robinson's behaviour was out of character. A conditional discharge means no criminal record if a series of conditions are met.

Svend Robinson is a professing Homo-sexual. A character the Bible is not supprortive of.
Svend Robinson was a politician, removing swearing in the name of God with the Bible in Court; regarded as a leader; a homo-sexual, an attacker of God Almighty and Christians/believers, introduced bill(that would possibly brand the Bible as Hate Literature and Christians as Haters and criminals).
Svend Robinson was found a thief with pre-meditated act of stealing. He was arrested by the police and tried in court.
The police had sufficient information to arrest and convict him before he brought the ring back after 4 days. This information was released on the news that the thief was video taped. Yet, some host of talk-show and citizens think that we could only speculate on his scheme of managing publicity, reducing damage and punishment, by returning the ring. Justice absolute is not found with people.
He pleaded guilty to stealing the diamond ring.
Svend Robinson claimed in court that he was not the person he is in the act of stealing.
Without reference to an external authority, the supreme being of goodness(who is God) we have no fixed reference point or system. Everything is weaving, everchanging.
Who are those to say that Svend Robinson was not what he really is at the act of stealing, and that the plead was not what he really is?
When is Svend Robinson an honest man?
Taking all steps to avoid recurrence of criminal act does not guarantee that it will never happen again. And if prevention was possible, it would not have happened in the first place.
And if Svend Robinson can be unstable at times and act out of character, he ceased to be a fixed reference point of goodness or justice.
If Svend Robinson is a representative of citizenship, who is to say that others cannot act out something criminal like him? All are but swaying reference to humanity.
Opinion of humanistic Canada is split. This is another weaving reference to goodness and justice. Some think that anyone stealing so much as $65000(possibly more than the salary of an average Canadian for 2 years of paid work) ought to be jailed for some tangible traditional punishment. Again, without God, it is impossible to say who is right. People who stole much less valuable items had been jailed with criminal record.
Do you realise that the judges came to verdict(in matters such as same-sex marriage) by vote of majority? They just cannot decide on any important issues. They have different opinion. They do not have unilateral decision as they are human. Humanism just does not have THE answer.
The Liberals and NDPs(politicians of Canada) have avoided to have social issues decided by the majority vote. Traditional marriage had it definition changed without asking the country for a majority decision. This is to say that Humanism that is to rule Canada and be a standard(if not the standard) of the World, is not a matter of majority rule. Your fate and justification rest in the hands of a few in power. The law can make you bow and twist by punishment(no matter how unfair or harsh you may consider it). You can be fined, having financial and physical priveleges removed or suspended, imprisoned and restricted if you are found opposing certain people or group somewhere.
The government took power and moral decision from the church and religious organisation. The law does not include statement to protect freedom of thought, expression, and moral of religious groups such as the Christian churches.

Swaying this way and that.
Human contention exist even in Humanistic USA.
Human decisions are series of conflicts without reference to the only one Holy God.

Two million evacuated as 'scary' Charley approaches Florida 13-8-2004 National Post
the strongest country in the World can but flee from natural elements. Yet Atheists have reached conclusion that there is definitely no God.Forest fires are not predicted or controlled at will.
Activities of the sun is not brought under control. Space flight still far from the sophistication depicted in Sci Fi.
Power system need overhaul. Countries use dangerous nuclear power to satisfy energy crisis.
Floods not controlled or stopped. Bangladesh asked for foreign Aid.
Terrorism is not eliminated.
UN has contradictory/unfair definition to categorise attacks, war crimes, and human sufferings. Limited compassion of developed countries, accepting only certain refugees who flee for life. Some lives are regarded as lesser than others or that they are expendible.EU set to erase reference to God.
Many turned to "Harry Potter" stories of witchcraft for entertainment.
D.Lim: Despite the boasting and confidence of Humanists, they cannot change weather regularly at will(we are still dependent on weather forecasts), or stand against some of the natural judgement carriers of God Almighty; and had to flee for life.
Unsubstantiated self-confidence of the self-proclaimed masters of the World.

You are not good or loving by the definition revealed and laid down by the Almighty Yhwh/God in Scriptures and through prophesies, if you choose to support Humanism or are Humanists. By the definition and expression of the Word(Bible) of God, you are sinners destined to hell(ongoing spiritual punishment), to eternal destruction(this is the expressed reality and not something to scare you, belittle you, or intimidate you).
Saying that we believers slight you or belittle you is hatred towards the justice and personality of God Almighty who alone is good. It is also an act of over-inflating yourselves, for respect and honor you (being evil and sinning in the sight of God according to Scriptures) are not entitled to. You therefore are stealing honor and respect. And you may even employ manmade laws to get what you want with violence, threatening to sue and run the financial accounts of your opponents dry, or fine them to their financial ruin, or imprison them to take away their freedom and social respect.
All you can do is evil and wickedness.
Repent and come to God for forgiveness. Not that you deserve forgiveness, or have the right to ask for it. This is the mercies of God. Talk about compassion? This is Divine compassion you have been consciously putting aside. Sin caused such acts. Sin made you so sick and evil. Sin shows through you as wickedness. Only God can help you. He paid the price for sin. He is able to forgive by redeeming sinners who accept His redemption and claim freedom through His Grace.
We sincerely hope/pray that you make the best of this opportunity, and not delaying repentance till you are finally deleted.
Meaning of life starts with God. It is upheld by the Almighty.
All other grounds are sinking sand and death-trap.
We wish you Life.

God is not Science. God cannot be proved or disproved by Science of mankind.
God Almighty is not theoretical.
In Mathematics(which is a game, and yet Science is dependent on its calculation and rules) there are formulae and calculation (eg:Pi) that have no finite answer.
Mankind just cannot know it all.
Yet Atheists have reached conclusion that there is definitely no God.-=-=-
