ok ok last blog of the day. getting tired. yes, me too. just lemme write this down coz i feel inspired. hopefully this won't be my last post for a long time....... hopefully i'll come back. haha.
churches! well not really churches but christian grps. my best buddy VJ just came back from a mission trip to laos or vietnam a few wks ago. he took some nice pics with my camera... and he told me abt the trip, saying he and his mission frens cldn't preach coz the commie police were watching them all the time... so they cld only give pencils and balloons and etc to the village kids.
WOAH! hold the phone! u're preaching christianity to improvished, culturally drained communities?? WTF are u doing?!?!? these ppls have oready lost some of their cultural heritage due to communist oppression, and u wanna impose a new culture on them erasing wat little they hv?? WTF is wrong with u ppl???? if u wanna help u shd help restore their own culture!
if these idiots had their way... everyone wld be the same, hv the same culture, sing the same hymns, praise the same god, say the same churchy stuff... another form of globalisation! the mcdonald's of religon! come to think of it... a bit like communism also... want everyone to be homogeneous and believe the same things. oppressing other beliefs, other cultures. that's wat pisses me off abt christians. always wanna impose their beliefs on others. true, there are many who aren't liddat. many respect others. but i've met too many idiots trying to tell me abt bible and stuff against my own will, and lets face it... no other religion imposes itself on non-believers. well... radical islam does kill innocent ppl, but let's talk abt mainstream here. u dun see buddhist monks telling sikhs to shave their heads do u? or vice versa?
u know wat's best? VJ's church is sending another mission team to NEPAL! the fricking seat of buddhism, and u wanna talk abt jesus?? that's PLAIN RUDE. buddha oughta give u guys a slap using Ru Lai Shen Zhang man!! heng VJ is smart enuff not to join them. how wld the isrealis feel if dalai lama sends a team to try to convert them to buddhism...
so STOP ur evanglist activities!! stop being oppressive and plain annoying. (sorry bro... but it's something i feel strongly abt)
note to self: next time someone tries to convert me to christianity, i'll try to convert him to taoism and tell him all abt monkey god
I'd like to think that there is some method to my madness, some control in my chaos.

- A guy stuck in a university course he finds absolutely no interest in. A guy who wants a journal for his thots, to capture snapshots of his mind before he loses it to exams. A guy who loves variability and variety, who always yearns to wander everywhere, to expand his horizons. A guy who can't sit still, who'd rather be kayaking, trekking, diving, sailing, phototaking, travelling. A guy who irritates his frens to no end coz he's unable to sit still. A guy who find joy just standing on the peak of a mountain, overlooking rolling hills, lush jungles, wide open spaces. Or on a boat in the middle of the wide, open ocean. Or interactions with animals, wild or otherwise. A guy who wants to improve on himself, thus needs to record down his thots to find out how he can. Also needs an avenue to vent his negative thots. In short, just a guy, just slightly different from everyone else. >>>> Finally, he is free. and he can't bear to delete this, which is an entry itself.

it's been a while, but let me state my stand once again, in clear concise format so random ppl who stumble on this blog can understand.
I'm not against any religon, but i also believe in religious freedom: the right to choose which religon you want, including choosing not to have a religon. So i frown upon anyone who tries to impose a religon on others who don't subscribe to it, especially at the expense on the culture which is originally in place.
So far, i hv observed that the only religon which does that blatantly is christianity.
