Giving a bad name to Christianity

Hi all. Read today's newspaper and found this interesting article where this atheist soldier from the USA is actually suing the army for harassment because of his lack of religion. Apparently this guy says that some Christians have called him a devil worshiper, immoral and gay. He also claims that he drove fellow soldiers to church and keeps silent when they pray.

First of all,I have absolutely no idea if he is telling the truth since I don't have mind-reading powers,so I will first assume that he is talking crap. Everything he says is a lie and this is just another atheist plot to make Christians look bad. If that's the case,then this guy should just go shoot himself because he's framing people.

However,if he's telling the truth...then it will be the complete opposite. Those few Christians who probably read their Bible too much are in the wrong by insulting someone who respects their religion even though he does not believe in it.

There is one way to guess if the guy is lying or not. Inference. Firstly,USA is a country with most of the population believing in GOD. So it's pretty likely that the guy may be insulted. Secondly,the Bible does hint that gays are unnatural and should be stopped,which explains the "gay" taunt. Lastly,the Bible says one thing: "only a fool does not believe in GOD".

Therefore,I conclude that the soldier is most likely (not definitely) telling the truth.

Any disagreements can be posted on the cbox. 3 more days to SA1...

Exams...every student's worst nightmare

One week to SA1...Good luck to all taking the exams and to those waiting for the results.

Really stressed. Have to stay back for the whole of next week. Luckily we have full day off on Wednesday and Labour Day on the next day so we have two free days to revise and maybe play some games.

Once again,good luck guys.

Cambodia Pt 3

As promised,the third episode of our Cambodia Adventure...

We started the day by having breakfast as usual. Azmi and I were the first to go to the restaurant for the second time in a row! Doesn't anyone wake up early these days? Anyway, we started the day's tour by taking the bus to the orphanage where we were supposed to do handicrafts and cook for the children. (I won't say orphans as it's damn hurting)

The children from the orphanage

But first,it was Contribution Time as we gave sweets and stuff to the children and like what people say,yes you do feel a sense of goodness when you do something like this. Then we were off to the market. (well,except for Azmi and Jia Hao as they stayed with the rest to do the handicrafts first) During the bus ride,Brennan did a stupid chicken imitation in front of my video camera while I was using it for no reason. We also decided what to buy at the market.

The market. It was HELL. The place was wet,cramped and the placed smelled of guts and other dead animals' meat. I almost became a vegetarian when I saw the people ripping the guts out of the dead,"de-feathered" chicken. I heaved a sigh of relief when we left.

Back at the orphanage,we gave the ingredients to Azmi and Jia Hao and basically said "Good Luck cooking,bye!" and went to do the handicrafts. I tell you the children are SKILLED. If this is not "pro-ness" then I don't know what is.

After doing the handicrafts we left the orphanage and went for lunch. After that,we went to...

A secondary school where we had to teach them English. The main teachers...Azmi and Adam!!! Yay!!! The rest of us mainly slacked. Then we went to look around the school and came across this...

In case you are wondering what the students were doing,they were playing a game in which the rules were something like this:

1. Form two teams.
2. Make a whip like thingy out of used cloth and tie them together with rubber bands.
3. One team throws the whip to the other team and whoever catches it can whip one person from the opposing team.
4. No winners. Just for fun.

No,the whip does not hurt. ONLY if you hear a cracking sound. If not,it's going to be a little painful..

We then went for dinner and of course,had more pillow fights and HALO. It's kinda like some ritual we go through...

Cambodia pt 4 coming up in about a month or so...

I'm back!

Hi!

I'm back after four days of not blogging. If you're wondering why I've continued to blog...let's just say that I really can't bear to see my blog and cbox dead.

Anyway,I've got some sickness that causes some kind of swelling at the neck. Guys from 2E,pls post any homework on the cbox so that I will know what has been taught. thnks.

Watch out for the next post! Most likely it's Cambodia Pt 3!!!

This blog is dead...FOR THE MOMENT

Hi guys. From the title of this post,you should know that this blog is dead. That's why I have used grey as the font colour. Due to parents' restrictions,mountains of homework and the SA1 coming up,I cannot find enough time to post.

But no worries! I will resume posting when the Sa1 is over,which is about four weeks from now. As for now,farewell...until I finish my exams.

APRIL FOOLS DAY

Happy late April Fools' Day to all! Here's a lame joke: Angry that religions had holidays, a group of free-thinkers brought their case to court and demanded that they have their own holiday. what they didn't know was that the court was very much Christian-based. Therefore,they gave the free-thinkers April Fools' Day as a holiday. When asked why,the court replied that since they did not believe in God,they were fools.

Makes you think of what religion can do just to prove that they are right...
