This oluman,what the constitution says is what counts,what u Akuffo Addo or anybody else thinks doesn't matter.The constitution says prostitution is illegal but many people practices it,and so therefore according to Akuffo Addo's logic prostitution is legal practically right???If the constitution says secular,it is secular,there is nothing like a Christian nation practically,Since when did doing something in contrast with what the constitution says,majes it legal?.You are Christians but have stolen and raped the nation of it's resources than all armed robbers since independence, combined.

We can never have Sharia laws in a Secular State that is very democratic. Even countries like Nigeria which has a strong Moslem majority does not have Sharia laws because it is a Secular State.

Ghanaians are Christian! What do you mean? Are we following the precepts of the Lord in our daily lives at home, at work and within the larger community?
Can we truly say that at home we live to please God? Do we respect our spouese,do we set Godly standards for our children to follow? At our places of work are we slack? Do we report late to work,leave early,help ourselves to work equipment and abuse work facilities? Do we take bribes ,practice nepotism? DO WE REALLY WORK HARD "AS UNTO THE LORD"? Do we have integrity (honesty) or do we take advantage of others including even friends and family? Are we faithful to our spouse?
Going to church by itself won't make anybody a Christian.You can have the walk and have the talk and your heart be still far from God [Matthew 15:8]. Let's start to be REALLY CHRISTIAN BY SUBMITING TO CHRIST AND GOD'S HOLY WORD, THE BIBLE.

But can I also say that Ghanaians, whether Christian or Muslim also partially believes in and worship in the African Traditional way. Go to the Shrines and see how many Christians and Moslems go for consultation in the African Traditional way. I mean even Pastors, Imams, Bishops etc. some go for such consultations Nicodemously for prosperity, New Births, protection against spiritual attacks etc.
I am just glad that none of the religious beliefs in Ghana teaches evil and promotes violence.

No, I don’t go to the shrine but I came to know much because I taught African Traditional religion at the Advanced level of the GCE. Occasionally, I took my students on a Field Trip with my students to some shrines to let them observe how they worship, their beliefs and practices. I am a Christian but very much respected how others believe in, and worship so long as they are not extremists and violent.
Do you know that people who are African Traditional Religious worshippers are generally honest and trustworthy than the many Christians and Moslems that we have? Carry out your investigations and prove me wrong.

The secular nature saves us from the hallucinations, atrocity or abomination of others according to their common dreams, their scriptures or a claim from their version of God - it restraints us to use logic and our brains only as the sole tool for judgement.

Although Christians are in the majority in Ghana Christianity is not ramned down the throats of other people unlike other countries where Christians are treated like thrash or whatever. But we have huge problems concerning our Faith and our duties as CHRISTIANS. Do we respect and really understand the Teachings of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible or Scriptures ? Let’s all check our behaviours, greed, envy, treachery, murders, despicable acts of violence against innocent children women, defenceless people, unbelievable acts of wanton destruction of the environment ,rivers, Forests, same sex activities,sexual activities with children and animals etc… I am sure that If the God’s commandment are to be written today it would have been more than Twenty.
