I tell u no religion can have all their believers
shutting up and nt slandering people.
such things do happen.
My fav stall in boon lay market where i go buy meat She is
a taoist and her son is a buddhist. He also tell his mom not to
sell meat.
she dun agree her son also scold. remember she is a toaist
duabeigong. taoist do nt really believe in karma of killing
animals. also scold each other's religion.
funny right ?
My church has one the old lady converted to christian but the
family quarrel over buddhist or christian. both sides scold each
other religion too.
since the deceased has converted y dun respect her
decisions.
eventually the deceased do buddhist funeral because the family
voted more on buddhsit funeral.
they wanna do buddhist to make better conditions for rebirth.,
also ended up quarrelling.
things do happen.
my ex colleagues family quarrel over taoist or buddhist ritual
too. also ended up scold each other religion.
When there are religions they r bound to be conflicts.
there are some buddhsit who slandered christianality in eternal
hope too.
Hello Ironfist,
First I hope in the future you do not use the words such
as:
Hate, Slander and Bash in vain.
You are a christian and your god is "love", which is good, and
"hate", the opposite of love is "evil', therefore bad. Your body is
the temple of god,so if you are unable to love and can only hate,
there not much god inside you is'nt it?!
Slander is making false accusations and bashing is to
verbally hit with violence.
Just because you do not like what people are saying does'nt
neccessarily make it false, just only proves you don't like like
it. To prove slander, you must prove the statements made
untrue!
Comments made in other forums, I do not read, anyway, I am not
my blubber's keeper!
To answer your first statement about the buddhist son who
scolded the mother for selling meat. The son had the right
intentions,perhaps like you, meaning well, but he lacked the
skillfull means to go about it, Buddhism is also about skillful
means if you do not know.
Anyway, he do not understand what livelihood really means, it
means you need it to survive, therefore cannot abandon it just like
that! That why right livelihood is important, because we cannot
change it easily, especially if you are old.
The problem for non christians with christians is some of them
are self righteous, pay lips service about love and do not respect
other people religion. As far as I know, correct me if I am wrong,
christians are the only religion I know in Singapore to harass
dying people in hospitals.
Religion is an identity, a sense of belonging to, so many people
including lay buddhist is sensitive to it. Many taoist and buddhist
or even christians are nominal one, eg. they are born in a
family of that religion. Most of the time it is the sense belonging
they are trying to protect, not really the religion! Just like you
trying defend your religion without fully understand what people
writng about!
Like I said about slandering and bashing, have you been reading
what the articles are trying to say?!
Yes, Rony Tan is not the only one, but he is a community leader,
who instead fostering better community ties, just to promote his
religion, is tearing up a multicultural Singapore, and what do you
know, he is slandering,because he can be proven false!
If somebody is lying once, you may dismiss it, but if you
allow him continuously say the same lies over and over again, then
people start to take it as gospel truth. Do you wish to see
Singaporeans fighting in the streets?!
