The Bahamas is nothing but a confused country, at one point they're allowing the RAINBOW flag to fly freely then the following month they're talking about our Independence celebrations being about a Christian message and eluding to the fact that we are a Christian nation, talk about being CONFUSED.

Wat f**king Christian nation bro! Yall still on dis white man bible and belief system? All dat damn offering and tithes yall been giving over the years.....did the church assist bahamians throughout the pandemic? Is the church helping keep people lights on, is the church helping the people in abaco recover? What about all the people who was living in they car an ting, is the church helping to find a place for them? WTF is the church doing? Yall insane! Umm yall forget christopher colombus was a catholic? The white man dem came and build missionaries and brain wash people bout jesus smh. I can't believe people aint question shit yet. How could you have a country calling themselves a christian nation when the indigenous people who inhabited these island didn't have no bible or this christian concept of god. A nation means the people! And what did christopher colombus do? Kill off most of the african indians cuz dey een wan accept the catholic crap an way of life, among other things. Sad ting is the people still prayin to dis god for some type change, please tell me if its getting any better in the bahamas so called christian nation? Is the white man god smiling down and blessing the bahamas and bahamians for being so devote? What quality of life are most living in rite now? How much food on your table? Has violence not reach your door step? Dese man dem is talk bout christian nation christian nation like they had a choice to pick which one we want be!....SMH........CHRISTIANITY WAS FORCED ON THE INHABITANT OF THE BAHAMAS AND THE SLAVES CHRISTOPHER COLOMBUS BRING THERE!

What if you are Christian via the Ethiopian Orthodox church. Based in Ethiopia, with Ethiopia being the second oldest country to be Christian after Armenia. Or does that church not count?

If they believe christ died for their sins, and that through him is the only way to God i don't see the difference in none.

I'm really just pointing out that whilst the Anglican and Catholic church is a European Christian religion, there are other Christian religions from Africa which are older then those two, but you seem to be able to write them off too.

Uh …

You are soooo mixed up there fella. . .wha you talkin about?? Now about the flag thing. . .let us mind we own dang business. . .the USA put that flag up on their "own" space!! If some of us takes the time to read up on what an embassy means for a nation and the host country we would stop talking fool!!

If the Americans put up the flag of alternative life style on "their soil". . .how that "get we business" aye?

Further more, . . how it get anybody business who likes what or do to whom?? Chile yall Bahamians just need to chill and keep ya nose them outta other peoples dem business!!

I some times wonder how yinna would "deal" with having a family member who has an alternative life style?? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. . .I wonder!!

This Gov. ceases to amaze me. I wont be surprise if they aint paying for some international Christian artist.

Bey people out here paying for faith! Do you know how much people i see out here suffering but still erry sunday they going to church with something to give. They don't even have it to give themselves, their kids or help a REAL PERSON but they faithfully give to the church. That is crazy to me its like they blind jed, they life aint improving by far yet they faith in christ grow stronger. I guess that was one of the objective of the white men. They have you believing that you going to get rewarded by goin to heaven for all your suffering. Meanwhile they plunder your countries wealth and devide it amonst themselves. Yall saying look at the rich fools who will never make it to see god face, while they looking at yall saying look at such a poor people who will never realise that whats stolen from them will never be given back, their african culture, their concept of god, their language, their name, their sense of family and structure in the home, their women hair, the respect for the leader of their household, the importance of the elders in their family that facilitates the passing down of knowledge, the importance of community, the communication of the spirit thru music, the rituals, the sacrifices, all they knew is now gone.

@stislez - I agree with you; however, the bible is a spell book and it has our people under its spell. Anyone under its spell cannot be trusted to develop a righteous discernment and to live by that righteous discernment. Their minds are fragmented and opened to possession and evil demonic activities. The spellbound carpenterites cannot be trusted to do the right things.

So what is your alternative to Christianity.? most (black) people are only fed baby food religion. They don't get into the meat of the true word. You say it is a white man religion, but what does the bible say will happen to descendants of slaves after all the slaves have 'gone to sleep,' And what will happen to those countries (that strange land meaning the US and the other countries that kept slaves for over 400 years) and continue to abuse their descendants even today?

LOL! Christian nation? ROFL

You shall judge them on general election day for their many sins!
Tis late in the mandate a **scorching flammable sinful act*,* by all and sundry, who has **freely chosen** to remain **servants red party's governance** to conveniently put on facial paint makeup as a Sunday morning Christian, yes?
.

WELL, doc did get rid of this man. who knows why?

Friggin right! Christianity is only one belief! I embrace all!

We lost big time with the Pindling and PLP traitors, and the doc Minnis. He should be put to sleep like Davis- a bunch of rich rats feeding off the carcasses of the uneducated and easily persuaded rough public. Let's blame everything on the white people who were here before them, the Chinese and the Greek Bahamians who contributed so very much to our history. Listen - if there are two brothers with equal resources - one breeds two children an educates them, the other has ten and outside children and disregards their state of future progress, the jealousy from their progeny will form division. All for me, Baby has killed the Bahamas and the possible dreams. I have no interest in Independence as it was only designed to benefit fewer that what would have been true future for us before. I will celebrate our situe before the exercise of independence.

Or, could be a case where the Fort Charlotte House-elected Red MP Mark Humes. is playing around with the Leader of the **Sunday Morning In the Pews, Red Christian Movement,** yes, could be?

All of these politicians are incessant idiots, who once elected demonstrate their distasteful disdain for anything Bahamian (investments, entrepreneurship, and culture). Bahamian progress has never been valued, by politicians unless they're expecting under-the-table payouts, or they're trying to securing votes. Mark Humes has been a disgrace, and with this BS continues to be...this Independence (like all) should be highlighting any semblance of Bahamian resiliency. "Christian Nation", please! That label has been tarnished for as long as I've been alive, and means absolutely nothing to observant individuals.

Whatever is done, it should involve ;
Bahamian artists. I am sure they can choose local gospel artists.

They toppled Lanisha's Christmas tree. Complain till they stop it. Start with talk shows.

What race has caused more bloodshed on the earth than all other races together? Has toppled more governments? Have raped and ravished more women? Have looted and stole the riches of other countries including oil, gold, diamonds, minerals including salt and aragonite and even stole and enslaved other humans? Amen

The romans? The ottomans?

Unpopular opinion --> secular Bahamian artists are not ENTITLED to be selected by the government for independence celebrations. Yes, it would be nice, but let's be clear, the government doesn't owe these artists that. We're not talking about constitutional rights here. In this case, I think this is a 'Read The Room' type situation. After the year we have had with COVID-19 and being on the brink of financial ruin; I would be a little salty if I see the government using money to have a grand vivacious celebration as if the sky isn't close to falling. Just my opinion.

I have no problem with your theme but am Sure we have more than enough Bahamian Gospel Artists to do this and further more this is the Bahamas Independence and everything should be Bahamian
