I have always scoffed at all this forcing people into religions. All the crap we learn in the textbooks suggests that converting people and forcing them or influencing them into religions are the way to go! I stand by that if there really is God and religion, wtf why do people need to dominate people into religions?
You remember the part where the Sultan married the other Sultan's daughter and therefore converted the other nation to Islam? And they made a huge hoo-hah about it. Like it's some really heroic and proud thing to do. And the Form3 crap about paid soldiers converting and then merchants 'menyebarkan dakwah' to the poor uneducated villagers who were stupid enough to just randomly accept some castaway prince(Parameswara) as their king?
Yes I'm insulting our country's history, so? It's stupid. If some random guy walked into your neighbourhood and declared that he was a prince and therefore you should submit to him as he is King, would you believe it?
If you read one of Xiaxue's posts, this guy told her that only those who believe in God can go to heaven. The guy also said there is no free will, meaning God decides everything. So Xiaxue not believing in God is predestined by God, which means that God has already decided who believes in him and therefore goes to Heaven. Meaning no point la living this life if you've already been chosen to go to Hell. This is so paradoxical. Also mentioned is that this guy is wacko, as most religions have an element of choice in them.
Paradoxes drive me crazy. Oh wait I hear the ISA people knocking on my door. Let me get them first will you? Meanwhile enjoy our country's corrupted media integrity, where nothing is published that doesn't somehow support the government, and anything against is censored. No freedom of speech here is there?
"Kebebasan bersuara tanpa membangkitkan perkara yang sensitif."
Modify......
"Kebebasan bersuara selagi tidak menentang pendapat orang-orang kaya dan berkuasa."
So, freedom of speech as long as you don't go against powerful government officers!
Plus the brutal police who won't "tolerate" peaceful protests. It feels like freaking Iran here. We are living in jail, we are not even allowed to make ourselves heard by doing a protest. If we file forms, these forms can just get "misplaced".
They say, we are Malaysia, we shouldn't follow the ang mohs just protesting like that. Well, it is a DEMOCRACY isn't it? They should listen to the people. Why don't they just burn all the books that don't support their decisions in the name of "we are not ang mohs"?
If we are One Malaysia, then why is there restrictions to freedom to voice opinions, racial inequality, brutal police powers, acts which dictate detaining anti-government people? Why are we cutting down trees, economising like crazy with no apparent benefit to the people, and why is our right to voice out and media integrity being compromised?
All I want to say is that, there is an extent to voicing out. If I am actively influencing you to bomb some masjid, then ISA can sure as hell take me. If I am simply stating how besong I am with the government, then they can take me meh? I don't like the way you do things, so you have to arrest me? I don't like to eat nasi lemak, but you do and therefore I am wrong?
There is always a choice, there should always be a choice for the people, it is a freaking basic human right.
(Disclaimer: I am not anti-government. I used to be very pro-BN until I got sick of all this inequality and hypocriticism and sucky leadership. I am not siding with the opposition either. In fact, I think that the Opposition is every bit as inefficient as the Government.
What is going on with the country. It is falling into the wrong hands, and therefore will be moulded wrongly. Who am I to judge? Well, I'm a citizen. And if you ask me, "SO you think you can rule the country lah?" I will say, "I never said that, but I sure as hell is going to try." Well, don't you think I am very politically-minded? Haha.)
