The TV Christian evangelists are among the worst examples of Christians imaginable. Just because they spend a fraction of the billions of dollars collected from well meaning but misguded donors does not give them legitimacy. All rich people hide behind philanthropy to justify their riches, no matter how gotten. Drug money or religious donations, it is the same in my mind. That Mr. Evans would evoke freedom of the press and then say that this editorial should have been edited or not published at all says much about what many frothing religious people are all about. Hypocrisy! What Mr. Evans calls a "hit piece" is simply the truth that he can't handle. Just take these few statements from Mr. Evans, "Graham has probably done far more for this country in the two months that his organisation has been here than the feminist writer who has been hiding behind the nom de plume Front Porch for years. I am willing to wager that Front Porch has not lifted one finger in assisting those impacted by Dorian. But has the gall to criticise a man who has poured his soul into assisting the Bahamian people. Had it not been for Samaritan’s Purse, both Grand Bahama and Abaco would be in an humanitarian crisis, especially considering the severe limitations of the central government of our third world jurisdiction." Now, Mr. Evans, it seems as if you are confused. You, on the one hand, claim that the Feminist writer of Front Porch does not speak for the majority of Bahamians. On the other you claim that the government, elected by the majority of Bahamians has "severe limitations in our third world jurisdiction." Which is it, Mr. Evans? How about consistency in logic?
What is so wrong with a feminist writer anyway?
Based on your misguided and unChristian rant, I question whether you are really a Christian? Just because enough people say so? Based on what I understand Christianity to mean, you are the least likely candidate to be speaking for Christians. Even behind silly and foolish Mr. Delton Fernander. Speak as a thinking man Mr. Evans. We may still listen.

Hey Porcupine, when is the last time you saw Franklin Graham preaching on TV? If you are going to rage against TV evangelists, at least pick an actual TV evangelist.

Sorry for the mistake.
I don't have a TV.
Religion and TV both tend to brainwash people.
Just my narrow viewpoint.

Oh, and by the way, Mr. Evans.
Your list of "dangerous countries".
Homicides per hundred thousand people.
Sudan - 5.16
China - .6
Philippines - 8.4
Pakistan - 4.26
The Bahamas - 30.9
Not a misprint, Mr. Evans.
The Bahamas is more dangerous than all the other countries you listed, combined!
But, overwhelmingly Christian.

disparity is the birthplace of crime and with the cost of living so high the unaffordability of things like food and electricity at time out of reach .Thank your honorable politicians who spend like crooks and propose from the masses higher taxes to keep them spending like thief's

Quite right, sweptaway.
Many call it economic inequality.
But, yes, it is not healthy for any society.

Mr Evans, I agree with your premise. Samaritans Purse has, arguably, done far more than the government for Grand Bahamians in the aftermath of Dorian. They never had to commit to coming in the first place.

joeblow, Mr. Evans premise was to attack the Front Porch writer for speaking their mind. Not noble. Helping people is our highest human calling. Christians say it is their own, as well. A truly Christian organization does not have the option to, "commit to coming in the first place", as you say. To a true Christian, it is not an option. No wonder there are somewhere around 30,000 different Christian denominations.

I understood his premise to be that when someone steps into a humanitarian disaster as Samaritans Purse did, for our benefit, it may be unwise to cast aspersions on the leader of that organization, and I agree with him. Personally, I couldn't blame them if they opted not to help us out again if we may need them. Considering hurricane season is an annual event, and we may find ourselves needing their help again, some wisdom and self restraint might have been a better move!

Mr. Evans, something has stuck in my head the last few hours. It is your use of the word feminist as a derogatory term. According to Cambridge Dictionary, feminism is, "an organized effort to give women the same economic, social, and political rights as men." Someone who opposes this standard of human behaviour should not ever be listened to, from my perspective.. You, Mr. Evans, with your narrow-minded view of humanity should not be listened to by anyone. Should we edit your letters, and/or prohibit you from speaking? No woman should ever have to fight for their rights in a just world. The very idea that feminism exists shows how far our male dominated world has sunk in terms of morality. If I didn't truly believe in free speech, you would be one of the first I would silence, for the good of humanity, and adherence to decency.
