To all subcribers,


I must first say that like Joe Sambou, I have been observing some of the
postings pertaining to this topic.  I have been reluctant to add any
comments due to the fact that I honestly believe that there are more
important issues we should  be addressing.

I must first give a  word  of cautiion and reiterate that "religion is the
Opium of the Mass", therefore people will always have the tendency  to
assert thier beliefs as the one with superiority.

I am from a family which consist of three surnames namely, Williams, Thomas
and Njie , and we have grown up happily without any regard to which
religion we belong.

I cannot recall ever having any problems celebrating Koriteh or Christmas
separate from my family.  We all lived in harmony and my  mom has given us
the liberty and freedom to choose our religion.

My Kids are named Mary( Not Mariama)  and Susana  (Not Sosseh)Njie  after
my christian part of the family , and they are free  to choose their own
religions when they grow up.


I think like most people, we are sick and tired of this futile debate.

Why can't we pay attention to the issues happening at home and try to find
answers to our problems.
