Is the national cathedral a building for God or a repulsive concept for the country’s fervent Christians?
Christians have always built their churches without using state cash; in fact, the church has always aided the state rather than taken from it.
Isn’t it true that the project didn’t get off to a good start because the state bulldozed perfectly good buildings worth millions of dollars? After that, it’s been a string of horrific things happening around God’s building.
Bad start, bad process, bad progress, taking public funds, bad communication, and never-ending issues with troubling revelations about the theft of funds here and there.
I am strengthened in my conviction that Jehovah God, whom we serve, does not want this building, which is riddled with conflicts, to be used for the habitation of a supreme being who occupies the entire universe.
No amount of warped logic based on theological notions of national morality can justify the misappropriation of poor people’s funds to fulfill a commitment to a God.
No one can create a monument to a God on the backs of impoverished people’s suffering when the money could be utilized to help them improve their lives in these difficult times.
