Quite clearly we are a nation of morons I think,  and the most moronic of us would appear to be the “Christian” leadership of our nation.
 
Our national attention has been harnessed now on that miniscule segment of our society known as “GAY” people, ostensibly because the Old Testament tells us that such is an ungodly lifestyle. Why our “Christian” leadership feels that that massive segment of our society, who procreate children outside of marriage, by the thousands and perhaps tens of thousands each year, is not an ungodly lifestyle that should be prayed and marched for and frowned on, is absolutely beyond me. 
 
A quick Internet search indicates that the Holy Bible references marriage at least five hundred times, in both the Old Testament and the New,  and indeed our Christian Marriage Rite tells us that marriage is a Sacrement,  Ordained by God, for the procreation of children. The Bible does not tell us anywhere to procreate like the beasts of the field or birds of the air or fishes of the sea, yet our Bahamian “Christian” leadership, by its public silence, seem to feel that thousands of bastard children are not a societal problem.

Can we not put two and two together and figure out that the serious crime that we face today is a direct result of children growing up, over the last twenty to thirty years without fathers, without family. And that the anger that drives much of this anti-social behaviour is likely due to these children having to look after one another while Momma is out making their next sibling. And why does Momma breed so indiscriminately, is it because she is building her financial base of distributed income called child support? How Godly is that? Sex for money!
 
The Gay’s are not the problem in our society today – it is you the self professed “Christian” leadership of the nation that selectively choose the popular issues to fight and ignore the real issues that should be fought. A sign on the East West Highway says it so well “Older men, stop having SEX with our young girls”. What an admonishment, on a public highway, in a “Christian” country. 
 
Get a grip on yourselves Christian Council and Father’s rights activists and if you have time to talk and write and get on soap boxes, deal with the real issues facing this country today. Yeah, the real hard ones.
