Your Sunday sermon

Pick From : Raja Petra Kamarudin(NO HOLDs BARRED) - 5TH JULY 2009

They say there are two types of people. There are leaders and there are followers. 1% of the people are leaders while the majority are followers.

Within these two categories are further sub-categories. There are good people and there are bad people.

Within the good people category, they can again be subdivided into two more categories. There are people who are good by nature and there are people who are good because they are scared of being bad. If they were not scared of being bad then they would certainly not be good because being bad is more fun than being good.

And within the bad people category there are people who are bad because they are bad by nature while others are bad because they feel they can get away with being bad without getting caught or that later they can always repent and become good whereby they would be forgiven for all the bad they have done.

And this is why people need religion. Religion stops you from being bad and forces you to be good. Without religion there would be no stick and carrot. You get the stick when you are bad and you get the carrot when you are good. It is a form of punishment and reward system. You get punished when you do bad and you get rewarded when you do good.

In short, religion works on the concept of the bribery system. You are bribed through the punishment and reward system when you do bad and good respectively. And since most people are susceptible to bribes they would conduct themselves accordingly depending on whether they wish to be rewarded or whether they do not fear the punishment and do not care much for the rewards.

Over thousands of years mankind has had to conduct itself based on what religion tells them they should do. Religion has been the guideline for our conduct long before the invention of the police force and the legal system comprising of laws and courts.

The history of religion, however, is a history of violence, persecution, cruelty and brutality. In the name of religion mankind has been subjected to much suffering.

The question is who invented religion? And is religion something that God sent us or something that man created to conveniently oppress and suppress fellow man?

I do not wish to engage in a debate as to the existence of God or otherwise. There are some who believe that there is a God (or Gods). Others believe in the existence of a higher power although they are not quite sure what it is and whether God is the correct word to use for this higher power. Then there are others who believe that man is the product of nature and not of a higher being named God or whatever.

I leave it to you to decide how you came to be.

All religions have what we could call holy books. The ‘main three’, also called the Abrahamic religions, have the Old and New Testaments and the Quran. A study of all three holy books would reveal that there are a lot of similarities and overlapping doctrines. You would not be mistaken if you were to think that the three Abrahamic faiths are actually one faith divided into three sects. Of course, these three ‘sects’ are further divided into many sub-sects who are at most times in conflict with one another.

Man has a natural instinct to be bad. But they are forbidden from being bad basically because the religion they believe in forbids it. If the religion they believe in were silent on the issue then most would choose to be bad rather than good. But they have no choice but to be good because they fear that if they are bad they would receive punishment and not receive the rewards promised to good people.

You could say that most people are not good by nature but are reluctantly good. It is not that there are no good people who are good by nature. There are, although they would be in the minority. And you will find that most of the people who are good by nature do not have any religion. Some do not even believe in God. They are good just because they are, by nature, good and for no other reason -- in particular not because they believe in the system of rewards and punishment that religions propagate.

Has religion succeeded in its job of turning us into good people? Or has it instead turned us into hypocrites? How many of us are good because it is in our heart and how many are good because we have no choice but to be good? If religion were silent on what constitutes good and bad and if there are no rewards and punishment for being either what kind of person would we become?

That is something to ponder upon this Sunday. And before you adopt that holier than thou attitude and start moralizing, ask yourself: are you really a good person who has earned the right to preach or are you actually a hypocrite who is not really good but is just a coward who does not dare become a bad person like how you would rather be if given that opportunity?

THIS ARTICLE ACTUALLY SPEAK OUT MY DEEPEST MINDSET WHICH WONDER ME SINCE MY CHILDHOOD. EVER SINCE MY BRAIN WORKED RASIONALLY, I ALWAYS ASKED MYSELF "IS GOD CREATED MAN OR MAN CREATED GOD?". POINTS TO PONDER. THUS I CHOOSE TO BE JUST BE MYSELF. RESPECT THE UNIVERSAL AND BE MYSELF; ANSWER TO YOURSELF NOT OTHERS.

Conspiracy Theory

Origin From RPK : The writing was already on the wall so long ago.
Tranlate by Blogger as Below

冰冻三尺非一日之寒,反贪污委员会以为自己是上帝,他们绑架家人,他们把抓来的人严刑逼供,如果那些被盘问的人不肯合作,他们会以死亡威逼他们。这篇文章已经完成很久了,警钟早已想起,仿佛女妖的悲号,可是却没被人所留意,那是因为《今日大马》触动的警钟,所以没被留意,《今日大马》并非最可靠的消息来源,它无法提供最好的消息,《今日大马》玩弄的不过是谣言和讽刺文章。当反贪污局(目前已经易名为反贪污委员会)绑架了一名警探的家人时,今日大马已经响起了警钟,他们绑架了一名警探的妻儿,因为这名警探曾在比他更高阶助理警阶的指示下,调查一名华人黑帮头子。那名警探不过是在执行他上司的命令,也即是开启档案,调查一宗涉及华人卖淫、高利贷、贩毒和赌博的集团,结果导致三名集团头子被扣留。反贪污委员会要这名警探做的事非常简单,他们要他篡改他的报告,这样的话那三名黑帮头子就能获得释放,如果他要保障他的家人能够获得释放的话,他必须这样做。那名警探拒绝了,而且还报了案,他的妻子也这样做了,可是却没有见到这件事有何进展,这些反贪污委员会官员并没有被捕,也没因为绑架而被拖入法院受审。接着,反贪污委员会向媒体放出风声说正在调查一名高级警官——商业调查局总监,有关他没有呈报一笔两千七百万令吉的资产,其实反贪污委员会受限制于官方机密法令的约束,可是却一点作用也没有。何况,官方机密法令只不过是为了被利用来对付反对党支持者的,而不是对付那些为当权者效命的人。虽然如此,商业调查局中间最终并没有因为那两千七百万令吉为呈报的资产而被控,他被控利用警方资产假公济私,就像是每天堂而皇发生在政府官员、部长和政客的事。可是他真正的罪行是因为他扣留了几名华人黑帮头子,这些人控制了全马的卖淫、高利贷、贩毒和赌博活动。接着,他们逮捕了这名商业调查局总监的代表律师,这些反贪污委员会官员甚至在开斋节前夕来到他办公室,用手铐铐着他,然后粗暴对待他,就像是对付银行抢劫犯那样。为了确保这名律师受到最大程度的羞辱,这种好莱坞式的逮捕手法呈现在办公室中每个人的眼中。《今日大马》曾经写过这些故事,《今日大马》不止把这些故事都写出来,而且还把故事给不断的重复了几次,以确保每个人都把故事听入耳朵。可是这都无济于事,没人否定这些故事,更重要的是,没有人对《今日大马》所揭露的事做过什么?很久很久以前,反贪污委员会就已经成为了当权者的工具。正式来说,国阵有十四个成员党,巫统是联盟的领袖。非正式地说,国阵有十七个成员党,选举委员会是第十五个国阵的成员,大马警察是第十六,而反贪污委员会是第十七,他们的作用即是保护巫统和首相的利益。这篇文章已经完成很久了,警钟早已想起,仿佛女妖的悲号,可是却没被人所留意,那是因为《今日大马》触动的警钟,所以没被留意,《今日大马》并非最可靠的消息来源,它无法提供最好的消息,《今日大马》玩弄的不过是谣言和讽刺文章。「证据在哪里?」他们问道。「证明给我看这具尸体!」他们要求。没证据,也没尸体,也就是说没有犯罪迹象。

事实不然,今天,这里有具尸体,这具尸体是一名非常不幸的华裔反对党成员,他被反贪污委员会官员逮捕,并被虐待。是的!他曾经被虐待,他被虐待是因为反贪污委员会要他说话。可是他却说不出来,他说不出口,因为他无话可说。反贪污委员会要他指证他在反对党的同僚。他们要他株连他在反对党的朋友们各种的罪状,而这些罪状是前些时候反贪污委员会声称反对党所犯下的罪行。他企图解释,他并不顽固;他企图解释,他并无犯法;他企图解释,他不能因为反贪污委员会片面的想象而把各种罪行栽赃在他在反对党的同僚身上。于是,他们继续虐待他,他再也受不了这些虐待,他并非是硬汉型的人,他不过是个温文幽雅的男士,他所想的不过是在这个周末举行婚礼,他所想的就不过如此。他们威胁他说,如果他拒绝说话,他们会杀了他。他泪流满脸,哭泣求饶,他恳求他们不要伤害他。他们威胁他,如果他拒绝说话,就会把他从顶楼抛下,他放声大哭,跪地求饶,恳求放他一条生路。他们把他拖曳过一间房间,打开窗口,接着,大事不妙,那只不过是一场恐吓,他们只是想要吓一吓他罢了,他们并非真的想把他从顶楼抛下,他们只是想让他从顶楼望下底楼时的感觉。这名不幸的年轻人惊慌失措,当看到他摔在地上之前所需堕下的高度时,他突然失去理智。他使劲挣扎,他们无法将他抓牢,地心吸力取而代之,这名青年的生命,风华之年,就此早殇。接着,反贪污委员会宣布,他们早在前晚已经释放了他,他们却无法宣布他们已经将他带离扣留处,反而将他带离这个世界。然后在隔天,它们忽然发现他的尸体。他跳下,他自杀了,他自己了结了自己的生命,他并没有被虐待拷打,他并没有被拖出窗口,他们也没有威胁他说要教训他如何做空中飞人。冰冻三尺非一日之寒,反贪污委员会以为自己是上帝,他们绑架家人,他们把抓来的人严刑逼供,如果那些被盘问的人不肯合作,他们会以死亡威逼他们。现在,一名青年真的死了,可是将不会有人会被法办。没有人会被处分,因为他们会说是这名年轻人自己了结自己的生命的。没有人知道为何他要了结自己的生命,他并没有被虐待,他并没有收到死亡威胁,他并没有被迫从高处望向地面,他并不是因为惊慌失措而导致他们无法将他抓牢,最后意外坠楼的。这就是今天他们将会告诉你我的故事。

Had seen a lot of scene of the above in Movies, does it real?? Only if You trusted the Souces from RPK.

THE ROCK

My Favourite Movie star By Sean Connery & Nicolas Cage. A story about a US General do not agreed with the Government handling his men, took up a plot to threat Government for demand. He said "I came before you to protest a grave injustice", a man who fought for his team.


However, as the general was soft heart to launch the chemical missile, he said "This mission was based on the threat of force, We bluffed. They called it. The mission's over."


His followers disagreed and said " The day we took hostages we became mercenaries, and mercenaries get paid", then started the conflicted and end up the plot was successfully brought down.


Moral of the stories do apply to our daily life. We always do not agree with the happening around us, in school, in work places, in parties, in government blah blah, and then here came a hero, who like to change it over, at the price of public.


We are angry over injustice that happen almost everyday, we wanted to do something about it, and we wish we do have the power of spiderman/batman .... which able to kill them all. But, do we realized this is the system we have build, and we all are part of it. To change it, we need to change from the root, THE FAMILY.


Family values must be implanted. World histories had teached us, extremist mostly do not have proper guidance when they are needed during their childhood. So, blame no one but ourself for the life we are living now. Can we change it?? Yes, start now to educate your child now and maybe our grand grand children will enjoy the harvesting.


Just felt sad for the happening in news this few days. Problem start not by accident, but accumulating of a small yet dangerous issues across the time.

A Walk To Remember

Have you ever been regretted, when walk through the path of life in the past? Regretted on event that you realize at later age, you just can't reverse back the happening? Well, I do. That's with my beloved father. Still fresh in my mind, when I graduated from University and able to stay back in home town, he felt so great as all of his sons were not with him. We do a lot of talking then when worked at home town, understanding more of his thought, life experiences, and more importantly understand how he crossed the South China Sea from China to Malaysia and started his struggling. He taught me a lot about life, from his experience and reading of the 5000 years of Ancient Chinese history.

As I was young, fresh graduate, very ambitious to achieve my dream, putting up a family, planning the betterment of it, I just conveniently ignore the need that planted deep inside my dad's heart.

My Dad had told me plenty of time that he wish to go back with his sons to where he came from. Guess that was his biggest wish and we just ignored it, having taught that we could do it at later stage.

Still remember, before he was diagnose with Liver Cancer, I told him I will bring him back, and that really make his day. Unfortunately, his wish just can't be fulfill as the strike of the Cancer was so acute.

I went back to his home town then after he passed away, just can't believe a house of 20ftx20ft could occupied the family of so many.

Life Go On, even with the regretted path I learnt, and unable to reverse it. So, If you do have some moment, time that you wish to do whatever, do not hesitate, Please DO IT.

TIME WAIT FOR NOBODY

Just try to drop down taught and to remember my dad who passed away 13 years back
