For Christ sakes man…. We’re trying to save the children!!!What about taking a Qu'ran class?
Well how can you learn to be a good person without reading about how God hates everything from shellfish to homosexual and wants the death penalty for everything from working to Sunday to again being the ghey. You can't learn to be good without all those positive examples like how God commanded that people of neighbouring tribes be slaughtered or sometimes exterminated except for the virgin girls who were to be kept for the old in and out. Don't forget God's instructions on slavery and how it's perfectly fine as long as you take them from the nations around you and how if you love someone and they don't love you back you should burn them forever.What if your Atheist?
Same reduced sentence, just wouldn’t make the news.What about taking a Qu'ran class?
It’s a legal system. Not a justice system.Typical. Justice system has gotten way too soft.
Then legally, the punishment should be harsher. We're such wimps as a culture when it comes to punishing people.It’s a legal system. Not a justice system.

Even tho I agree with what you say I must say outcomes would have been very different if she would have been of color... Even if more religious then the pope a girl of color would have rotten in jail.Actually, this story happened in Indiana, which is in the USA, and therefore speaks absolutely nothing to the legal system in Canada, so not sure where you're getting this "we're such wimps" stuff.
I might also add that the Christian religion plays a significantly smaller role in Canadian society compared to the US, and I doubt a Canadian prisoner attending Bible classes would make any impression on a parole board in this country.
Also, despite the fact this was a very reckless and stupid crime, it also was not a malicious crime -- being stupid and reckless does not equate to malice. Intended malice is a massive part of determining the severity of a crime.
My two cents.
The problem is…. The lack of malice was already dealt with, and a release date had been set. It got moved up because of the class. Atheists have no such recourse apparently.

Fair enough, but it's true of western society in general these days so my point stands. Canada is in fact generally more lenient than the US.Actually, this story happened in Indiana, which is in the USA, and therefore speaks absolutely nothing to the legal system in Canada, so not sure where you're getting this "we're such wimps" stuff.

Justice is simply not attainable in situations like this. I doubt anyone of us could discribe what would constitute "justice" in such a tragic situation.It’s a legal system. Not a justice system.
Bullshit. Even you know that's not true.Same reduced sentence, just wouldn’t make the news.
Ooo…to get a reaction like that I must have hit a bullseye.Bullshit. Even you know that's not true.
