I don't gamble. Neither do I go to any church nor do I believe in any God. I have nothing against people who do and fully respect their right to believe.
I do find it odd though that the biggest believers (declaratively) are also the biggest gamblers. Must be so! Everyone in this country falls over themselves to proclaim their "Christian values" and then goes and gambles every penny they have. Conclusion is simple: either no one truly believes or they are hypocrites. Either way, "the Church" has failed society utterly. I think it is time we told all these self-appointed "reverends" & "bishops" to go and sit very small. For this is a mess they have helped create over 50 years of failure to educate their flock.

These priest people have no urge or intention to 'educate' their flock. They only want full pews and overflowing collection plates. Nothing else matters. Their flock would be better served learning from a rat. In fact it is proven that most of their flock do. Rats are scavengers and only concerned about food and breeding and only look out for their offspring until they are weaned off their mothers teat! That's pretty harsh huh?

Having been a lifelong Anglican I was revolted by the false testimony of the Anglican bishop Gomez in the time leading up to the referendum on gender equality brought by the Ingraham administration. I have not set foot in an Anglican church in this country since then. Is it a coincidence that this referendum brought down the FNM government and led to the corrupt cabinet of Very Merry Rock Christian and his pirate associates amongst which just happened to be two sons of ignorant and self-serving Anglican bishop I would have liked to see him de-frocked but at least he has had to answer to the almighty for his actions which left us looking like one of the more backward nations in the world My own demise is not so far off and I await with great curiosity what lies on the other side of the veil, if possible I will be having a long and interesting conversation with Saint Peter about Cedric Moss and the rather negative views that he has expressed over the years particularly those concerning our gay brothers and sisters. You better read this one quick, the site moderator does not like most of my posts and she will take it down soon. .

We have a choice to collect more gambling taxes ........ increase webshop taxes to 50% of their gross incomes ....... or get rid of webshops and introduce a national lottery like the US states.

The U.K. also has a National Lottery.

The web shops are open practically around the clock. Lottery tickets should only be available for purchased in certain retail outlets. Bahamians will not then run off the job and sneak out the house to sit "spinning" away in a gambling house. Winning numbers should only be called once or twice a week. Would suggest once a week and see how she goes. Winning numbers should be called live on National television and radio. Winners' names should NOT be divulged for sake of security and piranhas. Lottery proceeds should go in a unique account and balances and expenditures should be constantly available to The People and monitored by an ever-changing board of, perhaps five officials charged with serving The People's interest. Perhaps one each of the five representative would come from the Departments of Education, Health and The National Hurricane Insurance Fund (NEMA?)...........

Education is a two way process. The reason churches and schools seem to fail is not because of the message or messenger solely, but rather the failure to apply what is being taught to the listener. Information and application is education!

Perhaps the curches should sell lottery tickets - that might just alleviate the preachers fear of the law of diminishing tithes!

Pastor Cedrick Moss it is the peoples time. This is what the people voted for. so should we
say "Let the Games begin"
