I am. I like to see people who have something to say actually stand up for what they say they believe in. These churches say a great deal but do very little.
These pastors have little or no substance which is why very few of our younger generation follow them.
They have failed to lead. I blame them for their lack of real leadership.
We have had a major problem of teenage girls getting pregnant for the last thirty years or more, long before anyone thought of Carnival.
To blame Carnival is ridiculous. Go and check the statistics.
The churches have failed to keep up with the times by preaching abstinence when they needed to be teaching other forms of prevention. Prevention would enable the church to get the confidence of the teenage girls and teach them how to steer a more moral life instead of having three children before they turn 20.
The only reason that Pastor Moss and other clergymen are talking about Carnival is to distract Bahamians from the fact that as clergymen they have failed in getting the Lord's word across to the people.
After they opposed the Numbers Houses, when Hubert Ingraham talked of legalizing them, they did not go and protest in front of the Number Houses and get them shut down. That would mean that they would have to do more than talk. Yet, they had the example set by Christ when he turned over the tables in the Temple.
They are all talk and no action. This is why people continue to commit acts of adultery, rob and murder. The clergy have failed, and continue to fail because they are not true men of God.
Dear Pastor, my point is tat the church is failing us.
With the exception of one or two of the more progressive community churches, the churches have been unable to attract a majority of the young.
Maybe you are one of the few who can make a difference. Most churches have lost their relevance. Our crime rate of theft and murder proves that.
The fact that the churches came out, in the constitutional referendum, in favour of having children out of wedlock and condemning Bahamian mothers who had them in wedlock indicated that the churches had lost their way and did not follow the Lord's teaching.
Yes, that is what the churches said when they encouraged people to vote no on one of the questions.
If the church can't follow the Lord then how do you expect anyone to follow the church?
Yes, it shows that you have a brain and that you use it, that you are not afraid to bring to the attention of many Bahamians many wrongs that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Some one needs to hold this investor accountable. Hie has shown contempt for the Bahamian environment and the Bahamian people.

Proverbs 15:16 was a good choice. Now add Mark 10:21 for the Pastors to follow.
The Country will then see them as true men of God, but not before.
Let them lead by example and show us the way to the Lord and the teachings in the Bible.
Anyone can select a verse few can live by the Bible.
