... the beauty of this thing is that we are all just a few short breaths away from learning the ultimate truth for our selves. Death awaits us all. Until then....
... valid points, but hypocrisy is not found exclusively in the church, but is a HUMAN condition that has to do with character. In fact name one place in this country or anywhere in the world where hypocrisy is NOT found!
Each person must choose their source of morality (views of right and wrong). Those who believe in the bible (or other religions writings) as a basis for morality believe the wisdom in it comes from God (or their god) and the rules are beneficial encouraging a duty to God, family and their fellowman. Those who create a morality based on their feelings, opinions and other ideas or philosophies can constantly shift that morality to suit their purposes. This promotes instability in societies and the human psyche. One need only look at the Bahamas 40 years ago or more when we had a predominantly biblical morality and the Bahamas now with more liberal views. Where this country is now IS NOT progress, by any standard. But, to each his own!
I just wish Bahamians could take pride in being hard working, honest and faithful in their relationships. That would go a long way to turning things around!
Countries have laws, the governments responsibility is to enforce them for the general well being! May they continue to enforce the law in all things, including immigration!
