		<description>[...] You read in the newspapers about the abominable practice of fang sheng some Buddhist practitioners try to do every Vesak Day and how authorities and environmentalist volunteers try to prevent such acts from happening. You read in the local blogosphere how bloggers like Cowboy Caleb witnessed a fang sheng act committed at a local chinese temple or blogger minishorts witnessing how tortoises and terrapins are released indiscriminately into ponds and how environmentalist blogger budak abhors this practice.

		<description>Humbleman: Now should I, run off the track a little and do a little civil reprimanding (this is my blog, so I think I have a right to defend even errant commentors), if you don't mind. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;I, among many others, do not have to know or wish to see your constant referenece to your idol.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I don't quite agree with this though. There are Christian blogs which are in fact, very inspiring and HAVE indeed made me open my eyes a little to recognize that there is indeed Christ. Obviously the one I pointed out has been nothing less than 'appalling'. Quite terrifying, in fact, to realize that there are many, many, many others like this blogger. My reasons for not accepting the faith totally, like I've said previously, are personal... all right, there's a spiritual element to this but even that, is personal. 

Like I said, I just don't like the way some people are skewing the religion and instead of making more believe, they're just bringing in a bunch of turkeys to add to the pie. You might want to call it 'evangelizing' with another aspect. 

Maybe I'm just trying to pry my finger into that little pot of undecided i-believe-in-a-bit-of-everythings... telling them, not to simply accept any religion that comes across. Take time in pondering. Faith should come from the heart, and no one should be force-fed into a religion. </description>

		<description>Now I get it, she is from the bible belt in US. Incidentally, a place where more hours have been spent watching “Desperate  Housewife” than any other part of US while claiming to have visited church more than any of the blue states. Probably one of the most racist state in the US and has a long history of anti-back and still is today. Does “Thurman” ring any bell? A rich white christian guy who fought for the segregation of black and white while screwing his young innocent black slave. Basically these are a bunch of hypocrites who use the scripture as a veil to disguise her hidden agenda. What you believe and how much you love your idol is your business and please keep them to yourself. I, among many others, do not have to know or wish to see your constant referenece to your idol.</description>

		<description>well jeanette... when i wrote that post which you pointed out, was filled with the  F word, you mean the &lt;strong&gt;FUCK&lt;/strong&gt; word, I said that I would password-protect the post at the end of the day. But you didn't know that and you jumped to conclusions. BTW, the password is another three-word expletive, it starts with the letter 'T' and ends with 'G'. Its a very common cantonese foul slang. So, for those of you who bother to go back, yeah. 

You don't have to say out loud to me, 'Minishorts is an infidel who blatantly doesn't read my posts carefully' to imply the same thing. It's the same concept as saying that you don't have to announce to the world that 'I am annoyed' for people to realize that YOU ARE ANNOYED. And since we're at this, senseless, mindless fucking debate, may I bring it further to say that you don't have to announce to the world that 'Oh How I love Jesus' to make us see that you are complete devoted to Him. I don't know about you but as I would believe that as human beings, we have more sense than reading the literal words, although of course, some lines can be so literal they hurt. But I digress and apologize, not for being without integrity, but for, urm, insulting you, and Jesus, and hurting you in the process. 

In Malaysia, where I live, where I blog, and where most of my very small collection of readers (mostly personal friends) read my blog, everyone is accustomized to minishorts being 'Mordormouth'. 

Integrity? 

Since she's not coming here again, she won't get to learn about the bedtime stories. And how I got vaginitis and told the rest of the world about it. And how Rapunzel trots into my blog some days to tell us how to, urm, fuck a girl right. 

Irony. Anyway, back to earth please. 

I'll tell you guys the next when I meet another levitican. Then we can all, urm, giggle our way to hell.

		<description>This is the classic case where every word is taken not only literally but also narrowly, “God said it. I believe it. Case closed”. Seemingly there are much exchanges but little indication of dialogue we humanly capable of. The door seems slammed closed as soon as we put the righteousness hat on. 

Quote from someone not so out of space: “No religious position is loyally served by refusing to consider annoying…. which may turn out to be facts…”. 

Continue: “Neither ought we be concerned about the logic of others-even if they preceded us-preventing our own individual investigation. Much to the contrary, just as out forebears did not wish to indiscriminately accept the truth from those who preceded them, and that which they did not choose to accept, they rejected, so it is fitting for us to do so. Only on the basis of gathering many different opinions will the truth be tested..” 

And continue: “It’s no sin to feel doubt, after all, human beings are endowed with the capacity, if not the need, to doubt. The sin is to act on those doubts.”

		<description>I forgot one thing and then I'll leave this site forever.  I pointed out in my site that I had deleted your blog address because I read one of your rants (your word) and you used the f bomb so many times I felt it was not a place I wanted my readers to go.  So you came back and tried to egg me on about your vulgarity when in fact you didn't have the courage to keep the post open as before so people could see the real you but you protected with password protection.  You have a lot of integrity.</description>

		<description>minishorts, stop putting words in my mouth or in my typewritten words.  At no point &lt;b&gt;ever&lt;/b&gt; did I call you or anyone else an infidel.  I specifically told you I am not in a position to judge the state of your soul.  Stop lying!  You may get chuckles and giggles out of it and you may even be able to fool your regular readers but you and I both know the truth, don't we?  Your comments have not been deleted from my site and people from here are welcome to come over and see what you actually said.  You tried to get the thread off track and I wouldn't bite so you just started talking about whatever.  Then you apparently sicced your friends on my site to back you up but I didn't want to argue with them either.  Prove where I told you or anyone else you are an infidel and if you can't please have the decency to apologize.  Infidel is not in my vocabulary.</description>
