“What does God who created all of us in his own image and likeness think of what our society has become. “Jesus came down to live among us in the form of a human being, so that all may be saved and have life abundantly, not just certain section of the population.
“Why does it have to go to the extreme that our children have to march, walk, demonstrate, exhibit in order to show us that they are tired of our behaviour?”
