I hate to mention names in my blog but this has probably gone a bit too far to begin with. It so happened that my friend, Steve (Sern Hong) has recently pissed me off with his christian arrogance, which proved to have failed in its sissy masquerade as the SMS (short messaging service) conversation dragged on a little longer. This is one example of what I called a rude apologetic pseudo-spiritual hypocritical moderate Christian.
It all started with a "hi" and "how do you do?", which made me see so much of a person Steve is. I hate to criticise people, but it seemed to be bothering me at that time that this old friend of mine used sarcasm against me, as if that would win my heart over to Jesus. These are what Atheists call, the
Moderate Christians.
ME: Hi, how are you now?
Rationale - I started the conversation with a friendly salutation.STEVE: So you still remember me? ;-) Very good right now thank you. How about you? I trust you have a difficult time without Christ right? I have been through that before so I knew how you feel now..
Rationale - Of course I remembered him.. then why would I have SMSed him if I forgot he ever existed? Difficult time without Christ? HELLO...?? I'm doing very well now, enjoying my time catching up with people and reading up on proper materials. I'm gaining knowledge well, studying well and making my life worthwhile.ME: I'm having a very good time in fact. Life's been normal and sane for me. Having a great time with friends, and doing my studies well. Found a permanent job already?
Rationale - Since he was sarcastic, I gave my sarcastic shot at him as well. An eye for an eye.. yea.. And the fact is, till now, he has not even found a proper permanent job yet. It has been half a year since he got out of military training (ORD). So who is the ultimate laughing stock? Does a laughing stock have a right to even use sarcasm at all?STEVE: Hmm.. after effect from having 'freed' huh? Let's see how long it can last.. I have been into MLM (Multi-level Marketing) business lately so doing good *anger*. Can't meet you cause bound to have conflicts.
Rationale - Freed? Erm.. freedom is subjective. His assumptions of my life and biography is so shallow and baseless with no proper evidence to back up with. And you guyz know I hate shallow people... and oh, MLM is not even proper job to start with. On the surface it looks professional, but in reality, it is plain bullshit. The ones making the proper sum of money or income for this business are the TNCs, MNCs, entrepreneurs and other large corporations, NOT those minions working under them. Their commissions do not even add up to half of what those entrepreneurs are earning. It is not impossible to become a high flyer in such business. However, unless one has the capability to advertise or sell their products well, it will take a very long time to earn a decent salary out of it. And as for Steve? Haiz... I don't know if he's up to it.ME: Conflicts? We don't talk about religion la. It's like every time we go out there bounds to be a discussion on such topic. Usually coming from you. I don't like people to tell me what to do or what is wrong, simply because we each have our lives to lead. Rather, I would prefer to be advised in a tactful manner instead of plain sarcasm like what you did just now.
Rationale - Many christians will now tell me that I'm unteachable or disrespect the "christian authority" once I said "I don't like people to tell me what to do or what is wrong". What I meant was, I dislike the way how some christians would become so legalistic or super particular about every movement one makes, as if a single wrong movement or thought is going to be dealt with by a surveillance camera in the sky. Common sense depicts that if you tell somebody that something is wrong, you need sociological, moral or ethical evidence to back it up. Conflict? It all started when one doesn't finish his/her sentence and expect a wholesome and satisfying reply.STEVE: Ok la. I admit that I purposely wanna poke you la. Don't be so mad leah.. Sorry to be so insensitive to your religious rights.. We come out for some kopi next time lo.. K?
Rationale - There you go, that's sarcasm again. Honestly, where can I find a christian friend who uses sarcasms to win people over to Christ? Since the bible points out that a christian should be like Christ. Is Christ a sarcastic bastard as well? You better pray hard he is or else you're going to hell you son of a bastard. *chuckles*ME: The topics on religion has always been a sensitive one in any properly held social conversation. If I'm a buddhist, honestly, I would be disgusted by your behaviour just now. Forget it, if you think I'm not worth your time, then so be it. I don't take forced invitations. Just to let you know. If your tone continues to be sarcastic and hostile, then don't blame me for being avoiding too.
Rationale - Yea, it is a sensitive topic because no religious people likes to be trampled over. The reason why I don't discuss these topics is because I respect the rights of other's beliefs.. even though some lack proper medical, scientific or sociological evidences. I'm not like Richard Dawkins who is so against the idea of religion. But I personally believe that one has an individual right to believe in certain ideology. Certainly, I dislike those who agrees to meet up with me for the sake of pride or my invitation. I don't take forced invitations if one thinks I'm not worth their time. I mean, I still have other people to accompany and certainly, I'm not so lonely or lifeless like some christians whom I happened to know.STEVE: So, so much for being apologetic.. Anyway, if I going to promote my product I selling, will you be able to take it or not? Just asking to be sure..
Rationale - Certainly, he still have the gut to ask for instant forgiveness after so much of his sarcasm being spewed over this ruined conversation. And he still tries to sell his product. I wonder if it's poison. *chuckles* Maybe it's Jesus he's selling. Since he said the whole world needs it in the next message.ME: HAHA.. depends on what you are selling la. And if I need it or not lor.
STEVE: You surely need it! Everybody needs it! Even the whole world needs it! And that's the philosophy for MLMs, so I have to catch on the fever. ;-) You must support me and not that TL
(A.K.A. Robin, my other friend) k?
Rationale - So he's asking me for my support and my alliance after ruining my initial intention of saying "hi" and all. I remembered him saying once, that he's a person without Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Unfortunately, I have to agree with him. He knows himself too well and I don't think I have any capability or rights to interfere at all.. and that's his fucking problem. In addition, he's also asking me to not support my other friend who is also doing the same MLM business as he is. Is this some sort of a moderate christian's behaviour? VERY LIKELY... indeed. Think about it. Analyse deeper, and you'll know what I mean.ME: Please la. Support what support? I'm on nobody's side. I got better things to do la. And my life to lead. Unless we share common goals la. then that'll be another story.
STEVE: Then what's your goals now? You mind sharing with me? Maybe we do have common goals wihtout you knowing orh.. Parallel goals can also be considered common goals.. :)
ME: Common goals? You sure? Don't tell me you wanna become a psychologist or a counsellor too?
STEVE: Something parallel to that.. Can a social worker be one? I consider myself not sociable enough so now I trying to work my best to be one. So partly a social worker.
Rationale - Question.. how does a person with such attitude ever become a social worker? He should think twice or maybe, self reflect on his stinking pseudo-fundamentalistic behaviour. Anyway, I shall stop judging him now like he has just judged me.ME: Is being sociable the only way to become a social worker? If you are interested in becoming a social worker, then take up courses pertaining to that field.
Rationale - But then, speaking of a ceasefire in my harsh judgements, I feel that it's important for this chap to find what he is good in doing. All the time, I hear him saying that he would like to have time to think about what he likes to do. But in the meantime, won't it be a benefit if he first find a permament job? He's a diploma holder, not an O'Level holder for goodness sake. He seemed to like to talk so much about what he thinks, or what the bible says, and tell others that what they are saying is not very morally right. Then, I think a puny family church pastor would be a suitable job for him. Hehehe... that is, if he can ever ace the doctorate degree of bible theology.--- no reply from here on ---
All talk and no ultimate actions... pretty dumb isn't it? I shall peace out for now.
