... the real ignorance on display here is not understanding that Jewish value systems were based on the 10 commandments and the laws of Moses given to be a moral guide for the people of Israel. Within that body of laws, there were two basic categories of sin: those for which sacrifices could be given and those for which death was the penalty. Homosexuality, along with a few other sins, were in the latter category. Death was the only penalty. The reason Jesus came, was to be a sacrifice for all sin, but especially for those that had no sacrifice for forgiveness. He did not have to say anything specific about homosexuality because everyone in his culture knew it was punishable by death, as was adultery or a child striking their parent. That is why when he told the woman found in adultery to go an sin no more, that would have included all those sins punishable by death, if people repent and are forgiven. One cannot revel in their sins and expect Gods grace! Of course, one would first have to believe in God in order to place some value on His dictates!
*"Mr Bastian said his priorities for the constituency include creating a community impact centre, promoting affordable housing, and tackling the high cost of living."*
... interesting, since his business model involves undermining the work ethic and siphoning wealth from over the hill communities by enticing people to play games in which the house always wins! I am convinced, Bahamians loved getting played!
... just yesterday his wife was talking about getting help to those women who need different menstrual products. So women can't afford to buy necessary hygienic products and this moron wants people to have more children who have to be housed, fed, clothed and educated??
... a simpler solution might be to stop using NIB funds for capital projects and repay into it funds that were borrowed!! Secondly, responsible Bahamians might be able to have more children if they could afford them, but they are too busy being crushed by the cost of living and the higher taxes that go with supporting those who do not work!
... people should be offended that they are playing politics with the public purse AGAIN!! The taxes get passed on the the shrinking middle class who have to pay for everything! Sad!
... the vanity project that the "Office of the Spouse" is, must be disbanded! It's paltry budget can be given to Social Services.
The government finding ways to increase the populations dependence on them for things large and small is very socialist and undermines the qualities that keep democracies strong: personal responsibility and accountability! They uses this growing dependence on them to influence votes!
Not too long ago Bahamians had more pride than to have their hands out to the government for everything. What's next, a drive for women to have access to panties and bras?
... the puerile retort of "racist" is all you have? Quite telling that your first instinct was not argue that what was said, by a black Bahamian, is untrue!
... this sounds like something having responsible parents (if person is a minor) or a job could easily fix! Since it is a specifically female issue, wealthy persons can provide private assistance at their discretion! The government ain't your daddy!
... very well articulated, but metastatic cancer is not easily treated and is a sign that the patient does not have much time left! Illegals and their offspring permeate the public service, halls of parliament and more. Their allegiance is to their survival and the bolstering of their compatriots. They have no love for or loyalty to this country. They were a trojan horse that destroyed the country from within. Only an act of God can change our current trajectory!
We would have been better off as a nation is we never achieved "Independence". It took negroes 50 years to decimate this country socially, morally and economically! Sad!
