Yet again, as in previous years about this time, the 6 flagpoles at the northern entrance to Bridgetown, state - for visitor and resident alike - that "J.E.S.U.S lives". Isn't about time for a change? I don't notice any proclamations around Ramadan or Hanukah. How about celebrating the 200th year since the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of his seminal work "The Origin of Species" or are all Bridgetown residents so enamoured by a book that everything is based on a translation of a translation of a translation of a copy of a copy of a copy of a tale of dubious authenticity spread by word of mouth among illiterate peasants centuries ago and collected in the gospels, the original source of which no longer exists? This resident is not of that view. Keep the preaching in the church if you must but leave the flags for civic (and secular) events.
