Like every other human being I have my likes and dislikes. You know, I like this this this. I don't like this this this. In every category of thing possibly available, I have my dislikes, my likes. I like Joanne Rowling (so hate me already). I don't like JRR Tolkien (ok Eyeris now you can kill me). I like simple, easy to read shite like Eats, Shites & Leaves (a review on that later), not the original award-winning title Eats, Shoots & Leaves. I like Asus laptops over the more famous Toshiba ones, I prefer the Oxford English dictionary, and I actually like using Kilometrico 60-sen-a-piece pens.

I like Eyeore the donkey and I hate Winnie the Pooh, I like the now out-of-menu McDonald's Crispy Ayam Goreng, and I like those cool gypsy long skirts that're in fashion now. I don't like costume jewelery, I don't like very high heels. I don't like men who think they-so-clever liddat, wtf, I just don't like people who think they-so-clever-liddat (even though I am somewhat the I-very-clever-you-know person, most of the time).

So it boils down to this. Now listen. There are some people I see here, here, right here, on this sphere, that I just do not like very much. But this doesn't in anyway, mean that I cannot respect him. Au contraire, on top of my feelings of dislike, I still can respect him as a different individual, I can respect his faith, his values.

I think he's probably reading my blog from time to time, and I have wanted to say these things for quite some time already, but for the sake of diplomacy etc etc I have been holding my tongue, keeping my ideas to myself (and within my very close circle of sphere-mates). Okay. So I also thought he was still young, a lot of to learn, haven't seen enough, haven't read enough, etc… I can give him all that… you know… minus all that he's still a good person inside… etc… okay I can count out the terrible words he uses sometimes but I can turn a blind eye.

So now, sir, if you're reading this. I'm giving it to you point-blank. Try not to bother to visit me next time because at least you know I do not like the way you write anymore because it suggests the kind of person you are, on top of the diplomacy, I respect you you respect me shit. OH BUT REALLY ONE, I can respect you minus all the distaste I feel everytime I read the things you write. … except these days, it's getting very hard to even perform that basic 'I can respect a person with different ideas' issue.

I don't like this thing about you.

The part where you go on and on about your interest in comparative beliefs. The way you pull out issues pertaining to differences in religion and then couple up your 'arguments' (they are hardly those) with your lack of insight and then qualify your views and opinions with your quite-valuable 'espousals of comparative religion'–a subject which you have claimed ownership and pulled around your waist like it's your second skin or something.

I feel you do not qualify.

Your version of comparing differing beliefs… is not right.

In my self-righteous book of moral/ethics code, if you're going to start a discussion on anything 'comparative' you need to qualify to be in that discussion first.

I just feel you do not qualify.

Oh wait, did I say that already.

OK. Lemme rephrase that.

To discuss comparative religion, you need to have

1) An open mind
2) Neutrality
3) Good language manipulation skills

All of which, I feel, you sorely lack.

I have mentioned this a long while ago in THAT post of mine where I was 'more diplomatic' in my discussion of something you had written. That post, unfortunately, gathered me some of your overzealous trolls as well who now return habitually to lecture me and the people I care about.

I don't know. Some of your trolls who are now trolling my site, have caused me to be very cautious in my rants even. Just the other day, a line in passing, 'My boyfriend can be very protective of me,' caused one of your psycho-readers to label me as a tudungless Muslimah and that the ideal place for my apparently extremist Muslim boyfriend is the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba.

I could have continued to drench myself in the laughter that my sphere-mates were throwing at me when we read that comment, but after a while, it stopped being funny.

It's not hilarious anymore because it's like that for me, now. It's becoming scary. I don't like it, and I do not enjoy being labelled something I am not. I'm sorry. It's because of you. Of course it is. I mean previously it wasn't so bad… I know I know I've been slamming down Christian evangelists who keep telling me Jesus Christ is a ticket to heaven and I've been killing off devout Buddhists who kill tortoises by dumping them into freshwater lakes and then saying that is an act of good karma etc…

Now why should you be spared? I decided today I'm not sparing you.

I have NEVER liked fanaticism overzealousness in ANY RELIGION, or ANY BELIEF, or ANY PHILOSOPHY.

You know how people convert to other beliefs? You know or not? Unfortunately and OF COURSE, it is all about 'I feel good with this,' 'This is good this is a good thing, I feel loved,'… You don't scare people into a belief. Neither do you force someone to believe by hurling INSULTS of the lowest kind unto a person, or an organization NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE WAY THEY FUNCTION goes against your principles and values.

The scary thing is, you're not giving any good vibes to anyone. You are just not convincing people, you're not a crusader for God and you just don't qualify, period. You're making yourself look just plain horrible. Just like the crazy idiot who said that Peter is does not worship Jesus, or like that bitch who said, 'The best person on earth will still go to hell because he has not accepted Jesus Christ as his personal saviour', just like the nutcase who asked me 'how can you worship your ancestors, they're all dead…' I would like to say, 'Screw you.'

We are not God, we are not dewi/dewa, we are not kuan yin, and sorry lah YOU ARE NOT A CRUSADER of Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, or well, Satan (for satan worshippers, just in case there are some reading this blog). We have NO RIGHT to impose our beliefs upon other people.

Not to say we don't have the right to praise the Lord because He is our wonderful saviour and everlasting prince. I do, I know I do every single day when I go to work, when I get a good parking spot, every time I have an argument with my boyfriend, I remember I am blessed because tests are given unto me, blessing from Him, to make me better.

But this is what we do not have the right to do: we do not have the right to call a non-believer a dog. We do not have the right to pull leaflets out of recorded biblical, I mean, religious history, and discuss them and then label the people who starred in these pages as idiots, as sinners, as hell-goers. We have no right to all that. We have no right to quote verses out of another person's religious bible, and say that verses like that are sanctions of an evil God who will kill you because you do not worship him. We have no right to call Taoists idiots who worship stones. No right, no right, no rights to any of the things that you're doing right now.

I mean, if you believe so, fine lah, you have a right to the thoughts and values you keep but look, keep those ideals to yourself. Stop propagating your ideals onto this free-society and go all holy and say you speak on behalf of a community of people, who btw, do not necessarily think like you do. Well THANK GOD most of them do not think the way you do.

It is disgusting.

Now as disgusting as the horrid idiots who troll my site with squawking comments that make me go 'huh?', one thing I can accept about them is this, AT LEAST, look, AT LEAST they don't dedicate entire websites into praising one's own religion and condemning every other belief that doesn't come parallel to one's own at the end. And AT LEAST, people like that don't validify their side-lined argument with that huge umbrella term you call 'comparative religion'.

I feel… *sigh*… that until the day you realize that comparative religion is a subject you can only qualify to discuss once you stop being partial to a single religion, you should stop boasting about your ability to discuss it.

You're making a lot of people very unhappy. I'm one of them. You're scaring the SHIT out of me btw, and I don't like you very much anymore.

But of course, some people say that I should not be going around censoring what other people say, hell freedom of speech mah… he can say WHATEVER he wants, you know, just like I can say WHATEVER I want. Yeah yeah… all that.

Oh screw freedom of speech. My idea of freedom of speech is not the freedom to say WHATEVER I like to say. My idea of freedom (of speech, of whatever), is the freedom to choose what I will say today, so that I won't regret what I said tomorrow. That's my stand.

Not to say I might not regret the things I said today when tomorrow befalls me. But we'll talk about all that tomorrow.

So there, I've said it. Thank you.
