Let us oppose those laws which embrace the death culture

Jan 30, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Two Thousand and Nine, like 2008, seems to have started off on a very bloody note with a number of lives that were taken over the past week, even as we mark the first anniversary of the Lusignan attacks and would be marking the same for the Bartica attack shortly.
Human life, we must understand, is such a fragile and valuable thing indeed. We must be thankful for every waking minute we are on God’s green Earth — until He is ready to close the book of our lives.
I believe we must all return to our maker when our time comes.
Nobody dies before they have done all that was required of them in this world. There is no such thing as ‘untimely death’.
New Amsterdam is still plunged into deep mourning with the loss of numerous lives last weekend and this past week.
It’s sad though whenever children die. Whether it’s through natural means such as abortion or unseen circumstances like accidents, fires, etc, children dying is always heart-wrenching. There is the old aphorism which might shed some comfort to all of us which says, “Whom the Gods love die young”.
These deaths, especially those of children, remind us of the culture of death so many countries embrace; the answer to life’s problems — killing babies in the mothers’ wombs.
Such hypocrites we are when we condemn the gruesome slaughter of the children of Lusignan yet the laws of our country still permits abortions. Our laws still cater — still foster that culture — the death culture.
