Undoing Constantine is not a problem as argued by Peter Espeut in last Friday's edition. Constantine tried to undo God and used the sword to enforce it. His decree was a religio-political compromise aimed at amalgamating a powerful emerging religion - Christianity - with the existing Roman religion - Mithraism - for the sake of peace in his empire.

True Christianity then got watered down to where, if you look at it through the lens of Scripture, it resembles Mithraism more than The Way set up by Yeshua and his disciples. However, Yahweh is merciful and, yes, He saw it coming.

What I would like to caution the Government of Jamaica on is that they must realise that there are major issues that come with this flexi workweek idea. They must not only take into consideration the demands of the bosses, but must first put in place protection for the workers, especially those who have religious convictions.

Protection for the people

These people must not be allowed to be victimised or marginalised in anyway. There will be many others who will be available to work the odd hours, but they must not replace someone who wants to exercise his/her religious convictions. I know it is difficult for members of Parliament to take a stand on right actions, but the Government must be firm on this. The protection must first be put in first.

The concept of the flexi workweek may be good for the economy - that's debatable - but if it is burdensome and oppressive to the people, what good is it then?

I am, etc.,
