we had a short period of interaction during hist lecture today and it was fun. think because of that the otherwise really boring hist lecture which is about fundamentalism turned into something intersting for once. the points which got us hyped up are that in the Bible, God says that should a brother dies and leaves behind his widow then the living brother should marry his sister-in-law. looking at this, even i find it weird and sick. but apparently God meant for the person to look after and to take care of his brother's widow and for convenience's sake, to marry her. this is what mdm koh said, which i suppose is right because otherwise it doesn't make sense.

then mdm koh said that she read a book last time which really convinced her that christianity is stupid. it's writtedn by a philosopher whose name she's forgotten. the philosopher, for all his life, have been trying to convince people not to turn towards God and Christianity then he provided them with a whole lot of reasons why they shouldn't. then the irony is that sjust before he died, he accepted the lord and became a Christian. people felt betrayed because he's actually like some sort of traitor to do that. His reason to become a christian? it might be that he's actually afraid of going to hell and he wanted to go to heaven, that's his reason, which i think is even more stupid than all the falsehoods he'd been claiming all his life. then the ball just sort of started rolling and mdm koh revealed that she's a christian. and then hz asked if mdm koh thinks that the theory of heaven and hell is naive. that got people hyped up and i joined in, asking her if she became a christian just because she's afraid of going to hell and not heaven. then she said yes, lol. and i asked further if she believed in the bible and what makes her believe the bible. i admit that if it was another teacher, i would not have dared to ask such questions. but it was mdm koh, the teacher whom everyone loves and absolutely adores and who is like our friend whom we could talk to about anything. ha, so i figured she woudn't mind. she didn't want to answer our questions though, saying that we should take it outside of the lecture should we want to continue discussing with her about religious stuff.

ha, after that i saw hz telling mdm koh that he's not being against christianity when he's saying that he thinks the heaven and hell belief is naive then he further asked mdm koh if she thinks what the bible preaches is stupid (sth like that) adn i hate to disappoint him that much as her would like to find someone who has the same views as him, mdm koh said yes cos she was obliged to do so. it wouldn't be wise to disagree on such a sensitive issue as seeing how he was so agitated about stating his stand. then i chatted with her for a short while. she's actually been going to a church to another and i asked her to come to my church and i think she found the venue (expo) is inconvenient. then i told her that God has a church for her and that jumping around churches are no good. then she said with that lovable smile of hers that this is something personal with her and God. but at least she believes in Jesus and that's what matters. oh my, why am i blogging abt a teacher???

there is evidence that heaven exists and no, i don't believe it either that only christians can go to heaven. then wouldn't those ppl who never had the chance to know God in their entire lives be like destined to go to hell? no, that would be unfair and God is someone who judges fairly. and who says that even people who call themselves christians can go to heaven? not if u're a faker and a sunday christian who is not true even to his feelings towards God. the gateway to heaven is small, even if u believe in Jesus Christ. heaven and hell exist and there's no way in between. somehow i think i sort of understand why hz said that this belief is naive. it's like saying that all things are black and white and there's no in between. yeah.. but as i said.. God is the fairest judge u can even get and he knows exactly what we did in our entire lives.

played badminton for like the 2nd time in my whole life today.. think it's quite fun.. ha.. going to cell tmr. the time is earlier than usual though, looking forward to meeting up with my sisters.

HARRY POTTER!!!! 21st JULY!!! im much moer excited abt the book than the movie. im gonna finish the book on the first day. after i read it i will re read it until im satisfied. but i think between the first reading and the sec reading there would be a long interval.. think the ending is really going to be impactful.. must need some time to digest..
