i just might be satan's little helper
dear all,
i have just been lambasted on the internet, our not-so-secret mega source of all things bright and fancy/ down and dirty.
it came as a surprise for me a few days ago, when i was sent a message to check out a blog. and here's what he wrote:

Just want to tell you christianity is not a religion its a relationship between a person and his maker, who is God. Its similar to the relationship with me and my parents. as it pains my parents when i do not acknowledge them or obey them, same goes for our maker, who is also called our Father. He loves us dearly and would desire our love for him. So God basically wants christians to spread the word to all, so that we, beings created by him, can acknowledge him and be spiritually connected with him.
yeah and the self reliance part is definitely true, u can rely on your own willpower and talent to achieve whatever you want to. but that really depends on your answer to: what is the purpose of life and what are we really working towards?
I mean I'm still a budding christian, learning more each day and stuff. but i really think the christian people you interact with (like that guys blog you quoted) will determine your impressions of christianity. There're probably a lot of christians doing it the wrong way. and I really hate how christians say non-christians will burn and stuff like that, thats not the way things should be...
So I just hope you wont just give up on the thought of this relationship with our maker (christianity) cos of the points you said above. and i hope i dint come off too strong, rmb Im still Jared you knew me from hc. =)

how are you (: (: how's the uni plans coming along?
anyway, i hope you understand that i have alot of good friends who happen to be Christians and this is just one guy who ( i really do think) has decided to have very extreme opinions about how Christianity should be a part of everybody's lives - which I really don't agree with.
this one person hasn't changed my view about religion (in general) i've felt like this since secondary school i think, and as i've grown up, thoughts have matured, and i honestly cannot reconcile rationality with religion.
so as to your bit about seeking a purpose in life and our future, i don't think this is a good platform to answer that (i could be writing a dissertation for you here haha) so when i get back to sg, maybe one of our meetups could be about religion (: good excuse to meet up with you anw!!! it's been really really long! (:

yeahh i fully understand how some Christians are super extreme and become weird ppl. I had problems struggling with the fact that my brother was so into Christianity, he become so queer and i rarely speak to him at all even till now. and till today I cant really understand that. yeahh just have to accept even Christians are fallen people, and they are really not perfect.
yeahh and the part about self-reliance.. ppl normally say religion is for the weak. but you have to admit everyone needs relationships in their life. and this spiritual relationship is eternal.
okay enough about that la, just hope u wont close your doors totally to this idea =) haha and no la dont solely meet up just for that purpose, meet up for catching up's sake XP come back soon!!
