The degree of ignorance demonstrated by this letter writer with regards to Hinduism is extreme but not surprising judging from the far right conservative Christian views manifested in many of the other letters that Mr. Dean has seen fit to submit for publication. We live in a world where bigotry, intolerance, and hatred are more usually expressed than religious tolerance, love of our fellow man, and a broad minded approach to understanding that the world has room enough for views which do not match our own. Many Christians make the fundamental error of believing that God is, like they are, a Christian. Many Muslims likewise erroneously believe that God is a Muslim. Likewise, many Buddhist believe that God is a Buddhist. Just like Mr. Evans; they are all trying to limited and set boundaries to That which is far beyond such limitations. I wonder if Mr. Evans is cognizant of the fact the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the latest Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier has a vast length of rope aboard made from hemp? Does this make the British navy into a Hindu navy? This letter is just sad in my opinion.

These are the real Bahamian heroes worthy of our respect, not the politicos, cronies, and churchmen that seem to appear on the lists of Bahamian National Heroes.

So a group of presumably union member workers known as the Lords of Doom spent their working day drinking and smoking weed. Now I wonder why those generators out there keep catching on fire? Any comment from that usually verbose Union President?

It is distasteful how right wing fundamental Christians assume that they invented morality and ethics. Human beings have acted with integrity and altruism for tens of thousands of years before the advent of the Christian church. I seem to remember learning that the so called Classical or Ancient Greeks examined, codified, and wrote texts on ethics, again way before the Christian church was founded. A little learning can be a dangerous thing as Mr. Evans's letter amply demonstrates.

This far right fundamentalist pastor never seems to have anything positive to say. He is anti this and and anti that. Perhaps this is the way that he keeps his collection plate and tithes plenty fat, by peddling fear and hate. It is sad and so far from the message of love and acceptance taught by Jesus.

How refreshing to to hear a truth from a politico. Congratulations Mr. Johnson, you have displayed a rare integrity and ls presumably must l ack the hypocrisy commonly found with the political class.

it is easier for a camel to pass through the gate to Jerusalem known as The Eye of The Needle than for a rich pastor to enter the kingdom pf Heaven. The Eye of The Needle gate into Jerusalem was very low to prevent the invasion of men on horseback if the city was attacked. Is Ellis a rich pastor? i do not know but i did read in a newspaper report that he owned a half share in a private jet.
