i'm gg 2 write abt christianity again....& i tink it's gg 2 sound rather offensive 2 many....but it's my opinion & i guess i'm entitled 2 it as much as every1 else is...
last fri went 2 juan's church again...she invited my gang cos there was a visiting rev fr new zealand or something, & he specialises in deliverance...so, as e ever curious me went....initially it was e usu singing & e announcements...then e rev went up. he started talking & then he said tt he cld feel things & tt he 1ed 2 get rid o e spirits in pple or something like tt....then he put out his hand in 1 direction & said tt there is some1 (amongst e at least 100 pple) who had nightmares & can't sleep at nite...duh duh duh!!!!! then he stretched out his arm in another direction & said there is some1 (again amongst at least 100 pple) who had a bad past relationship & can't let go...duh duh duh...duh 2 infinite!!!!!i cld do tt 2!!!! i cld juz stretch out my arm now & go 2 e canteen & say tt i sense some1 in there who had a family quarrel last nite!!!! duh duh duh.....he said something else everytime he turned a different way....then he asked e pple who felt wat he described 2 step out, o cos pple did stepped out....all o them ard 5 or 6 o them were standing in a line in front. then e rev started 2 mumble something, then placing his rite hand on e person's forehead, e other hand like some wu xia pian, did some shen gong & yun qi on e person's tummy/chest area, then e person juz collapsed....duh duh duh.....he did these 4 all e rest, & then 1 o e lady amongst them when she collapsed, started screaming & crying terribly....e rev say she was fighting e spirit or something like tt....looking at all these, i wasn't in awe, all i was tinking o was how dumb tis whole thing was....i was waiting 2 c more entertainment.... i tot e chinese taoist performance (whenever they had all these qing shen thing..)was infinitely more realistic & more entertaining....
after tt mini-performance, e rev started 2 share e gospel, & talked abt some things fr e bible...i was pretty tired tt day after a whole day o survey, i did pay attention but sometimes i juz difted off.....then he talked abt how he tot god betrayed him when his daughter got raped....i was tinking 2 myself y do all these pple who preach & stuff always have such traumatic experiences....mayb it's god's way o making them stronger & 2 let them experience things so tt they can better relate 2 others.....but everytime i hear all these sad stories, i feel sorry 4 them but i also discount their stories somewhat....
i know i'm a real sceptic....but i can't help it sometimes.....
after a long long talk, e rev again asked pple who felt they needed deliverance 2 come 2 e front so tt he can help them....lotsa lotsa o pple came fwd!!!! then e rev went round 2 do his shen gong.....(swing a pity u went off early, u miss e highlight o e nite!!!) i was pretty amused by e whole thing but i didn't laugh out loud la....i dun 1 2 b like in e movies, get mobbed by e thousands o christians there....i 1ed very much 2 go 2 e front 2 've a 1st hand feel o wat e rev was doing but i tot it was a rather big disrespect 2 juan who brought me there...or mayb sub-consciously i was afraid tt e rev might really have e power???? anywayz, after e whole thing, juan said i shld go 2 e front 4 me 2 experience....she even suggested tt i go again on sun since she''ll b there.... i actually contemplated on it but i was 2 damned lazy 2 wake up so early on sun morning....
after tis deliverance experience, i really gave christianity a much much bigger discount.....i dun know if it's cos o e church tt i went 2....a lot o fellow christians also denounce e city harvest church...mayb it's really cos o e chuch....anywayz, i believe in wat i 1 2 believe in, mayb 1 day i c more clearly regarding christianity....
snow & jancy, i wld love 2 have a religious discussion some day!!! snow e christian expert & jancy e buddhist & me e sceptic!!! interesting!!!! i can almost c e mental sparring gg on.....any1 else interested 2 join our mini-forum???? let's make a date 4 tis exciting event!!!!

Annie, you should have step forward to have a feel isn't it??ha next time maybe.....
hey annie dear, i'm a buddhist by birth, dictated one by my I.C. but really, i'm not much of a religious person. just that IF i had to choose one to save my life, i would choose buddhism, then again, not much of life to save too.. Other than that, i'm pretty much a multi-religion n atheist at the same time. but, yes, we really ought catch up n discuss religion - the opium of the masses as Marx put it. hee.. i feel sooooo excited to contribute whenever i read ur posts abt religion! keep writing!
