The Editor, Sir:

I am deeply concerned about the society we have come to live in. Somehow, everything seems to be out of the ordinary. Somehow, it has become rather imprecise as to what is ordinary and what is not, what is right and what is wrong.

We are living in a world where wrong seems right and vice versa. Have you noticed that there is no distinction between men and women these days? The men have totally lost their identity, or their reasoning has been turned inside out - on the wrong side!

When one sees two people walking hand in hand, it's not always a situation of lesbianism, one is sometimes supposed to be a man. But which one? That is the question and a very difficult one to answer at that. One cannot judge by the hairstyle, or the bleaching of the face, the size or style of the earrings, nor the type of tight jeans they wear. So how can one differentiate? It gets even more difficult if the woman is small-breasted.

The barminess gets even more bizarre. We see men marrying men, women marrying women. But it seems quite ordinary, because so-called men of God are performing these weddings! I am curious to know or to hear just what passage of scripture is read at those weddings. Do the ministers paraphrase scriptures such as "For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife" to read "For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined to his husband?" Do the ministers at the end of the marriage ceremony say, "I now pronounce you man and man?"; "I now present to you Mr. and Mr. Brown?" I wonder, when God saw that Adam was lonely, why did he not make a Steve instead of an Eve for him? Excuse me, Mr. Minister of the gospel, maybe God was a bit confused?

We are in a world where wrong seems right and right is wrong. It really frightens me as I think about the next generation. I pity them; they will grow up to accept right as wrong and wrong as right. I wonder what the future holds if God doesn't put in His appearance. Can you imagine in a next couple of years women are going to have to wait longer hours at the hairdresser to get their hair done because competition with the men has intensified? Or it may get as preposterous as men modelling longer and more decorated nails, sexier dresses and spike heals than women and taking first place in Miss World. Next couple years we might find men marrying dogs and cats and rats. Who knows? Come, Lord Jesus, Come!

I am, etc.,
