waiting for an answer...

went to church today with mr lai...bright in the morning i woke up,get ready and then we embark on our trip down to nlc~

first thing i got there...i was labelled with a sticker "friend of nlc: yvonne" i absolutely resented it but no choice the person was like "put it on...it's just a gesture of goodwill and we are just trying to welcome u" then i filled in my particulars on this form...the usual stuff name,address,email(didn't fill both coz i dun want them to send me anything),phone number (i gave...coz somehow u ought to leave a contact rite?!feel quite bad if i dun) then come the funny part(i think so) they have this statements that goes like:

[ ] I would like to know more about christianity
[ ] I would like to be baptised
[ ] I was introduced to christianity by so-and-so
[ ] I would like to come back to church
(some sort of this type of question...)

guess what i was looking for the " [ ] I am not interested in all of the above" but apparently they didn't have it so well,never mind...didn't tick any hee!then we went in the room where the service(is tt what u call it?) was held...

first thing they did was sing song of praises...i was like staring here there everywhere and feeling pretty awkward about the entire thing coz everyone was singing and i wasn't feeling part of it at all and i have no idea where my goosepimples kept standing haha!then they invited this guest speaker...what elder yeo,some banker guy from sf church who plans a early retirement and came back to sg...then he started talking about the 5 M's... magnification,mission,membership and i forgot what's the other 2 was...okie fine yes it sounded pretty like what u hear in CME classes but now he adds in GOD...all right fine i understand~tt's like a religion so u sure have to mention about the ultimate one...

then came this ridiculous part when he talked about this 2 best friends who were working at the WTC right on the day of the 911 incident...one survived,the other didn't...guess why?coz she is superwoman?!no...coz she is a vampire?no...very simple!coz she is a CHRISTIAN!!!c'mon!!!what crap?!so does tt mean tt all christian in the 911 incident survive while those who are not didn't?!!!this is so ridiculous!!!somemore it came out of a elder...who is suppose to be pretty respectable i think~tt is like so narrow-minded thinking...it is so laughable!

and once he said tt i remember my sec school phy teacher,mr choo once said smth similar too...what he said was worse~"u know why the terrorists chose to bomb USA and not singapore?!coz christians in singapore pray everyday!!!"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!it is so absurd!!!!!!!!!!to the extreme!!!!!!!!!!!

i understand tt most christians have this overwhelmed passion about their religion and they are always very ready to share their religion and sad to say,sometimes they tend to overdo things...SERIOUSLY!!!and they never take no coz i think they believe tt it is the way God is giving them a challenge or smth...and one other thing i can't take it is they always give credits to God!!!u know it's like...one put in 6 hrs of studying everyday before exams and then they do well for the exams...first thing they do "thank God for giving me the strength to pull through this obstacle...thank God for letting me do well...thank God for blah blah blah...and so on" please!!!!give some credit to YOURSELF!!!u deserve it!u should give urself a pat on ur back and say "well done!"

i dunno how many millions of peopl i'm gonna offend with this blog but i can't care less...drop in ur views if u oppose coz from what i learnt today...there is like 3.5billions of the world populations who are non-christians...the figure i dunno whether correct not but somehow there i think...wait!i'm not done yet...answer this questions if u can too...think about it

1. If God created adam and eve and they ate the forbidden fruits and start mating,have children...wouldn't there be incest all over the family tree?!
2. And if tt is the case...wouldn't all of us be children of god?!so we are all related...and who goes to hell?!
3. How do u explain the different races?
4. And since God is so loving,why would he want ppl to suffer?!Why would there be a discrepancy in people's wealth?!Shouldn't all be equal beings?!

all right...these are my questions...i'm waiting
