End of the World

End of the World? Oh that was yesterday December 21, 2012! Mayan calendar,Christian rapture, blah blah blah! ************************************************************ How many times did people make predictions about the end of the world in the past? Many, but we are still alive today.All the predictions failed to come true.As recent as 1999,the Y2K prediction said that by January 1,2000, the entire computer networks in the world would crash.Only last year,California-based televangelist Harold Camping predicted that the world would end on May 21, 2011.Jesus Christ would return to Earth on that day and take the righteous ones with him and fly to heaven.Rapture did not happen, but rap music continued to thrive ************************************************************ What annoys me the most are those Christian pastors, evangelists,theologians and so-called biblical scholars,who confidently made such predictions,like Harold Camping did,only to make a fool out of themselves.Do they even know their own bible? In Matthew 24:36,it clearly states " but about that day or hour,no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the father." In the Christian faith,God is the father and Jesus is the son.The problem is that Jesus is supposed to be also God, so why only the father knows but not the son? Due to this awkwardness or unresolved conflict, some Christian manuscripts just deleted 'nor the son'. This made it sound like Jesus the son also knows, not just the father.However, it begs a further question "Does the holy ghost,the third person of God,also know?" ************************************************************* I have no prejudice against the Christians or anyone.I was a Christian myself.I left the religion but kept some of the good teachings of Jesus, like Love and Forgiveness.I have many Christian friends,and friends of other religions or with no religion.In regards to End of the World,I would rather listen to the Scientists and hear what they have to say.If the End of the World would happen soon,it would rather be due to our own making, like starting a nuclear world war and finishing it with death and destruction, or grossly keep abusing and destroying the environment and natural resources of Planet Earth our home.Beware, we could cause our own self-destruction! ************************************************************* Instead of worrying about the End of the World in real life, please go and watch that exciting disaster movie 2012 and listen to Skeeter Davis' beautiful song 'End of the World'. You would get a thrill from the movie,and be saddened by the song, but you will definitely come out well and alive.Enjoy!

Connecticut School Shooting

In the news,a gun man killed 28 people,including himself and his mother.20 were children of the Sandy Hook Elementary.This is so bad and so sad, but it is nothing new.It is gun-crazy America!

The Story of Pie

An obese woman came to the restaurant and ordered a large cheesecake.The waiter said,"Ma'am,is this for take out?" "No,it's for eat in". The waiter asked,"Would you like me to cut it into 8 pieces for you?" She replied,"No,please cut it into 4 pieces only.I'm on diet." I doubt Ang Lee will turn this joke into a movie.It wouldn't be funny if he did!

End of Slavery ?

End of Slavery ? 149 years ago, on Nov.19, 1863, US President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that all slaves were to be freed. So are there still any slaves ? Yes, not only in USA, but in the whole world ! Sad but true !

Sandy and God

There is no all-loving, all-knowing and all-powerful God. Again and again, Sandy the storm and such natural disasters prove it to be so. If God created many such a disaster and allowed it to happen, by a so-called act of God, then he is not loving at all. If something else (nature) or somebody else (so-called devil) created such disasters, and God just took a back seat and didn't do anything about it,then he is not loving and powerful. It is more reasonable to think that if a supernatural God ever exists, he is not all-loving, all-knowing and all-powerful. He is heartless and crazy. He is less powerful than the mighty force of nature. Dear East Coast friends, please don't panic. Please take real action to protect yourself, not just pray. Be safe.Take care !!!

Yes to win, No to lose

If you say no, you'll feel powerful for a little while, but you'll lose. If you say yes, you'll feel wonderful for a long time and we'll both win.

War and Hunger

Sometimes I feel some uninvited moral pain, when I look at this troubled world. It has no true justice and fairness. Humans are technologically quite advanced but spiritually still so primitive. Approximately 950 million people or 14% of the world population suffer from hunger or undernourishment. Many simply do not have money to buy food. How can you live on an income of a dollar or two a day ? Yet, we have plenty of money to spend, to create bullets and bombs, and killing machines, to go to war and keep killing one another. Why don't we spend money on feeding the hungry and helping the poor instead ? Burn all the national flags. Everyone, let's create only one flag: EARTH.
