I'm sure by now you have all heard about the new restrictions on the word "Daggering" but I have a few questions to ask about some of the deeper issues. Is the Jamaican civil community at war against Jamaica's seemingly innate tendency to celebrate fertility and sexuality?
I believe that most people will agree that there does seem to be a double standard here, take for example the recent and intense lashing out by members of parliament (and the civil society at large) against the sexual nature of the dancehall songs belonging to the "Daggering" genre. It will be fun to watch as these same people indulge in the up and coming Festival of the flesh or as it is more popularly known "Carnival", an all most month long party where patrons perform lewd acts on the public streets to music with equally perverted lyrics.
Another question that has been bugging me, where do Christians stand on the matter? Since the policy change sent radio stations scrambling to pull over 60% of there local music library entries off the airwaves, I’ve been talking to a lot of Christians about their feelings on the matter. There seems to be a split between two basic opinions: 1. "This is a long overdue cleaning out of the system" and 2. "Its a blatant example of abuse of power, a sign of things to come". As usual the split is right down that age old fault line that seems to always separate the old from the young.
Lastly, the Bible has its fair share of explicit content, not just sexual but also violent, what if any is the difference between the graphic nature of such Biblical material and secular expressions of the same nature?
Can anyone provide me with some mature Christian answers to these questions, it would be nice if you could supply bible references to back up your answers (oh by the way the internet has a free bible, index, concordance, and dictionary)
