Arise!

Its been quite a LONG LONG while since i visited the notorious (yea thats what she is now, NOTORIOUS) Xiaxue's blog. And frankly, i wish i hadn't been THAT bored. Check out her latest entry on 6th July if you REALLY want to know what made me throw up. Not recommended though.

I think its even worse when i check the comments and i see people actually cheering her on. I mean c'mon, its one thing to have a personality of your own, but quite another to be downright offensive and have utterly no respect for anyone else but yourself. And you people should know that. I ain't sure what's your motive for goading her on, but i'm pretty sure its not for her good.

Oh and for the record, calling someone a bastard is not just an insult to the person, but his parents as well. Its not something anyone should be using at all.

Such a irresponsible person to be the "Face" of Singapore Bloggers, a disgrace. Sure, some people out there who think themselves one with the "Western" culture may think nothing of it. But i think the truly civilised would not. Its like that "Iggy" Column on newspapers and magazines. Having that 20 year old sex-crazed girl blatantly tearing down what decency we have left and inciting youths to carelessly explore sex with her arguments and theories is so -..-

How do you talk to people like this who are infused with this maniac self-righteousness? How do you tell them that they are wrong, and come one day they will regret all that they have said and done? How do you attempt to save such people from eternal condemnation and in turn perhaps save their "followers"?

There too are people similar to them in my life. They seek to justify who they have become by convincing the world that they are right. By turning others into their clones. But perhaps its just that no one has heard their silent cries for help? That perhaps behind their impenetratable walls they really wish to get out?

These 2 people served to remind me what our world has become today. That even in our little haven that is Singapore we are not safe from the corruption that has consumed the world and the people. But i'm glad that there too are people like Rick Warren who are here to push back the tide. All is not lost, if we will just tear our eyes away from ourselves and see our true role in life. What do you see yourself as in school, at work, at home, in the Church? There is a part that God wants us to play don't you know that? Do you see it now?

***

God, please grant us the wisdom to help the people around us so that they may find their way to you. Let us be the light that chases away the darkness that has engulfed our world today. Give us the strength to overthrow the false ones with their false promises and false teachings. Be with us as we walk your path with our cross upon our shoulders.

Arise, Children of God. Arise!
