I Have Faith

I was browsing youtube and I came across loads of things from football skills to magic tricks to google tricks and I found some anti-faith clips. I got pissed off and here's my RANT.


BE FOREWARNED:
I AM NOT ON A "GURANTEED" STAIRWAY(can't help it) TO HEAVEN, AND I'M NOT DOING THIS TO SOMEHOW GET INTO GOD'S GOOD BOOKS.



I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE THIS PISSES ME OFF

Religion to me :

A knowledge of a greater power besides us. Yes, even people that believe in aliens being that greater power, to me, has found a religion. If people think winds and waves or Satan is the greater power, they too have found religion.

Faith:

Now, faith, to me is the manner of which we pay homage to that greater power; a ritual in accordance to religion. Therefore, we have all sorts of mannerisms and symbols of faith, reflecting religion, from praying 5 times a day and abstinence from meat to celibacy and offerings.

Building on this, I feel some youtubers are going a bit too far in dismissing OUR FAITH. Full marks for effort though after watching the audio-visual synchronization, the lengths of research...wow!

I just can't stand the fact that people who don't believe in God, regardless of how we address Him, can't accept the fact there are millions and millions of other people who actually DO believe.


What's up with the proving faith wrong through science?

There was one particular clip who claimed a scientific reason behind Jesus walking on water as, "...freeze water, it becomes ice, then walk on it." I trust the person who wrote and the people who saw the feat can tell ice from water. Moreover, they were on a BOAT...and i doubt they made freezers back then.

What's up with using philosophy to reason God's ability?

Here's the thingy : "If God was so great, could He build a rock so heavy, He can't lift it?"
The argument is if He can lift it, it means He failed to build a rock heavy enough, and if He can't lift it, He fails as a "understrengthed" God.

I think you can't compare the two comparatives on the account that you are comparing two totally different attributes; strength and architecture. Diagnostically, he can do both because they are of two different fields. He can build a rock so heavy because of his building skills and at the same time he can carry it because he has the strength.

The Bible is a work of fiction?

They argue that the Bible and I presume all other documented faith based books are fictitious because of the "unrealistic tales." The story of Abraham or Ibrahim's sacrifice for our Muslim brothers and sisters has been deemed fiction. Of course, we are going through blind faith, but if that is all we have...so be it!

So, in about 3000 years, as people begin to study our present culture and events, how do you think they are going to rate Hitler and gang? Maybe we wont need that long, in the space of 500 years, Hang Jebat has overtaken Hang Tuah to become the new hero.

Final word to faith haters, if we have lived our lives with strong belifs in what you call "bullshit", watching 7 minutes or 70 hours of your "revelations" will not swing us to your side. If for any reason you are right that there's no God and afterlife, well good for you, but I don't think you can really gloat seeing that there is no afterlife for you to gloat...and if you are wrong about God's existance, the afterlife or Heaven and Hell, well at least we can gloat wherever we meet :)

RM 2.70?

Am I supposed to be glad that the two-tiered subsidy didn't come to effect just because I drive a 1.8 Mazda? The increase in petrol price is another thing I needed to FUCK UP my idle Wednesday. Thanks so much!

Some honesty in the build up could have been nice and maybe a little easier to swallow. Nevertheles, knowing Pak Lah, a sudden and stiffening rise as such should have been anticipated. I guess history does repeat itself.


Lets take 3 examples:

1st : I will not get married...he does a while later
2nd : Parliment will not be dissolved tomorrow...next day, dissolved
3rd : There will be no increase(in petrol prices)...now we pay RM 2.70/l

4th : I will not step down...times like this I don't really mind

Have we elected a mind games freak to the helm?
Does he think we like playing guessing games?
Is "subliminal messages" a new national policy?


WHAT THE FUCK?
Even cops in Hindustan movies fire better warning shots.
Now comes the Ubah Gaya Hidup bullshit..
Personally, how else are we going to ubah gaya?

Plant vegetables at the empty spaces of our house and high rise units to plant hydroponic vegetables was their dumb suggestions. From working to the jammed up commute how are we going to upkeep our little kebun?

Along those lines...will the government suggest we start some swine-breeding at home instead of electing them to office? Or are we going to be the FIRST vegetarian country?

MALAYSIA BOLEH!

Are our bosses going to increase our wages to help with the NEW & IMPROVED(not) cost of living? Or do you prefer waiting till August when petrol is rumoured to go up another 30sen?
