In a heartfelt plea for unity and mutual respect, humanitarian Peetron Thomas addresses the ongoing debate surrounding religious statues in Antigua. Thomas emphasizes that traditions and beliefs, such as the veneration of Mother Mary statues, are deeply rooted in culture and heritage and should be respected rather than dismantled. Drawing parallels to biblical teachings, he highlights the importance of allowing individuals to practice their faith freely without judgment or division. Thomas argues that the focus should shift from tearing down statues to fostering unity, prayer, and understanding among diverse religious communities. He criticizes the infighting among churches, urging them to embody the teachings of Christ through love and compassion rather than condemnation. Thomas also points out the irony of targeting scriptural-based statues while ignoring more pressing issues like satanic practices. His message is clear: Antigua is too small for division, and the path forward lies in embracing love, wisdom, and peace.
