Dear Editor,
Thank God, I am free at last! This is just to note that I have decided to stop entertaining debates, dialogues, and conversations regarding matters of reproductive rights and human sexuality. Let us cut all this nonsense about critical thinking and allow the Bible to do the thinking.
Uphold the biblical injunction against adultery, fornication, homosexuality, shaving of the beard, wearing multi-fabric clothing, and farming through intercropping. We are a country that is blessed with an abundance of stones, and there is no sane reason why the various Christian denominations would find it difficult identifying volunteers to do stoning. Already paid staff may be mandated to assist with stoning for one day per week.
It is full time church leaders and serious Christians stop using the excuse of love, compassion, and following Christ to protect these sinners from what God says must be done. Too many different interpretations are confusing the matter.
Then there is this crazy notion about listening to what different people have to say about their perspective on such things as female reproductive rights, human sexuality, and human rights in general. Why listen? Why should we have dialogue? All that is necessary is for a handful of persons to dictate what and how people should think.
Away with democracy and welcome to theocracy! Away with tolerance and big up intolerance. Let Vision 2030 be changed to Blind 2030. It is time we take a stand for a different Jamaica. Strengthen culturally emotive perspectives, and condemn evidence-based information.
Yes! Free at last to make a choice. Yes, we can! Will you?
