Then, Herlexu mentioned about some hardcore Christian in City Harvest(a church which is located outside my uni, along Jln Boon Lay). The Christian will donate more than 10% of their salaries to the church and everytime when they go to the church, they will donate again...=.=
They used the money the build a nice church, which is larger than any of the lecture theatre in my uni, total with 3 levels and 3 basement levels ...lastly the big cross of the church can rotate(in mathematic terms means rotate along y-axis), can you imagine that?
We only have some background lights blinking behind our Guan Yin statue leh..
Hm..since the muslims are so rich,why don't they build a mosque with the "onion" rotating also?
Suddenly, i remembered that I was stopped by a pastor in Boon Lay interchange before.
Here is the conversation between us.
Pastor : Hey, young man...can i ask u a few question?
Viva : Ok..
Pastor : Do you think that human is perfect?
Viva : No..i don't think so...
Pastor : Agree. Then do you think that you are faultless?
Viva : Of course not lah...
Pastor : Okok...then do you believe that heaven exists?
Viva : No, i believe that hell exists.
(Since I am a buddhist, I believe that there are 18th levels in hell)
Pastor : If 1 day if you are a given a chance to enter heaven, will you go?
Viva : Watever lah...die then die le lah...y so care about go where...
Pastor : ....
Then, he started to talked alot of craps to me...
"Actually, heaven exists and normally we will go to heaven after we passed away..Long time ago, there is no distance between human and heaven.However, faults separate human and heaven. Since then, there is a gap and we cannot go to heaven le..."
"But if you believe Jesus, if you realize and admit your faults, Jesus will forgive you and you will be on your way to heaven...and the cross is the way to overcomes the gap..."
I shared this story to them, but unfortunately all of them laugh until stomachache..because most of us are Buddhist...paiseh
Then, Herlexu came up with a good idea.He suggested me next time if I encounter such problem again,just take 1 thing from my pocket and give to the pastor and tell him...
"Uncle, jit geh xi bai Dua Beh Gong e dao gia eh,eh poh pin onn. lai bin wu 4 geh li, lu kua liao kak kin ke buey toto, dak kang bao kui tao pio eh"
("Uncle, this 1 I get from Dua Beh Gong there, can protect you one. Inside there got 4 numbers, after you see it faster go and buy TOTO, tonight confirm open 1st prize one")
Then, the pastor no need to stand there and find people to join Christian lo..
Erm...I dont know should I say this or not...please don take it too serious k?
ReplyDeleteActually the pastor is only sharing what he think. You can share what you think as well... Doesn;t means that his motive is want to "pull people into christian.
Giving that 10% of the salaray called offering. The church will not stress every one for giving exactly 10% but just offer what we can do.
The offering is give sincerely by a christian. Those maney will used normally to help people in need and built up a church. Church is not only for praise and worship,but also with another welfare services such as for tuition,for other function... The offering also will give it to the old folk house and people in need as well as the salary for people who serve full time in the church
Erm...I am not trying to nag or what,just wanted to let you understand lo. Cheers....
I contributed a little each time I go to temple. I am happy because I am not forced to contribute a certain amount every month.
ReplyDeleteNamo Guan Seh Ying Por Sa, Por pi Por pi samua lang hor!
Just an advise, since we all know all human is not perfect, dont worsen it by simply jokes other people's believe ler. Cuz I believe that pastor never say funny things abt ur Guan Yin nor the muslim. If the church built rotating cross, then Muslim must make the dome rotate too? So if let say your neighbour into shit pool, U must jump too le? U watched too much Titanic perhaps, U jump, I jump?
