I agree to the first part of your message. In fact, this message/advise should have come from church thinkers! Instead they are up to something unwanted, unwarranted, unfounded, nonrealistic zealotry! Diana, you say '...We are framing our doctors' pictures and prescriptions on the wall, but are we really swallowing the doctors medicine?' Could you please elaborate/expand this line used by you?

These issues only serve to polarise our society even further. What does it matter anyway unless there is some lesson to be learnt by all of us? WE cannot undo the past. WHat is very important in my opinion is the manner in which we are charting our course TODAY and the manner in which we are living our lives here and now. Because, most of us are anyway failing to live up to our respective scriptures, or else our society would not be in the state that it is today. We are framing our doctors' pictures and prescriptions on the wall, but are we really swallowing the doctors medicine? Makes better sense to spend our time doing something to improve ourselves and our community today, rather than remaining mired in an irrelevant past..Diana Pinto
