Before that.. I would like to thank all my Christian friends for the wonderful evening!! It was a very well organised Christmas celebration and I guess most of us had a great time!! Great friends, cute presents, wonderful events and also not to forget the fantastic food really made my day!! You guys are awesome!!
So.. why do I write this post? Been thinking for quite some time if I should write it... I can say topic like this is very sensitive... but after I saw some "comment" on FB... I decided to give it a try... I guess most of you who read this already know what happen... for those who don't... well... it's story time!!
Everything goes well during the Christmas celebration until someone gave an example while he is trying to explain what's is Christianity or who is Jesus... What I can say is that the example used is "not-so-appropriate" because in someone else ears they may sound like you are condemning or criticizing other religion... Well... sometimes I guess you need skill and a little more talent to gospel! (although you may be telling the truth... but better not to offend other's feelings)
Usually when things like this happened we don't really post in publicly on FB... I guess it's better to have a group discussion... It's a good way to know each other more, to understand and respect each others more... Sometimes when people only listen to what was told by one party and not from the other, misunderstanding happen... Really can see the domino effect from the FB comment as more and more comments pop up on the FB wall! (mostly is the non-Christian believer expressing their feelings)... guys.. when you all do this... u are hurting the feelings of the Christians too...
As for me... I'm a Buddhist.. some may say I'm a Buddhist due to family tradition (u just follow who your parents are)... some prefer the word atheism (it's okay to be a atheist if your mind and moral value is good and right).. but I'm a Buddhist... not merely because it's my family's religion.. but because of the teaching in Buddhism which makes me who I am now... some may say I'm not complete... but I say I'm fine with who I am... Heaven? I believe the existence of this place... but I believe more on karma... what you do in this life will be what you are on your next life.. some may say I closed the door of my heart from Jesus.. but my heart is occupied with Buddha... what's the rational on opening the door? Some may say we lose faith and go to the church... but the reason I go to the church is to understand others more (okay lah.. I must admit the food is real good!!)... 1Malaysia spirit mahh!
But... Is it important to win over an argument? Religion or Relationship? Well... Solely my personal opinion (hope no one will get offended by this post)... As one of my friend said... we must forgive and forget! for me... let's forgive but not forget as it can be a real good lesson for us!! Peace ya!~ It's Christmas time~
