rainee SG wait, if I am a believer, I am not supposed to be questioning certain stuff I am not sure of? What does it mean to have followers when all of them are just following out of fear, not because they truly want to learn, and that they are truly enlightened of the teaching and really think that the religion is the best for them?
starblue SG my mum just believes in peace in the family. she will eat sht to stop dad from flaring up and hitting me. but prob is, i am the one who's scared dad will hit her. if only she will keep her mouth shut when i am having a row with dad. she always makes things worse. and then i have to kneel and apologise to get her out of his hands.
the Bear SG the Scriptures in the Bible are good.. it is usually the hubris of man that perverts the teachings for their own gain... you see the same thing in Islam and the terrorists now..
Othello_Red SG at first, things started out pure. but humans, being humans, and imperfect, will corrupt things. you can't hide the fact that huge amounts of money is involved in mega churches these days, so you just do the math...
starblue SG yup. +1. my church frowns on questioning authority. MCPs. they cant argue their way around me, so they say i am screwed.
CoolMyth SG All children love their mums. But it is not good that you're actually shifting the pain from your mum onto yourself. Sometimes, you just have to let go.
mystiv SG this case its not really a case about religion i guess more of the dad.. IMO, no matter which religion you believe in, there are the true and good, erm, people and places..if anyone gets wad i mean
rainee SG aiya I dunno la... cos if I am going to be together with my ai ai, which is sth we both really want, I definitely need to become a Christian... But I dun wan to embrace the religion yet just because of our relationship, I want to be one after I have learned enough about it and know that it is a better religion than the one I have currently... But hearing all these horror tales just put me off...
hisoka SG not sure i'm a non-believer but to me if you believe in a religion you are a blind believe if for nothing mroe than you believe in god on blind faith and you believe that the bible/quaran/etc are god's words
starblue SG make that a hundred fold for my church. even i as a christian cannot wait to get out of there.
seow SG Share the same sentiments, and i too, haven't got a good opinion of them, do not know why though...
