I was doing sth else entirely when this thought came into my mind, or rather I remembered that someone once commented this before, must be that psycho wire hair again. Is the concept of Christianity the same as communism? In communism, u have all people, regardless of their individual interests, acting as one body, for the sake for one person or aim. Individuality is forbidden and everyone is brainwashed into thinking that what they’re doing is for the sake of the better goodness, that what they’re doing is pleasing to the eyes of their mighty ruler. All these is actually similar to Christianity! Oh my, I didn’t noe that im a dog of the communists as well. Someone help drag my true self out of this disillusioned, heavily hoodwinked brainless mind of mine.

In Christianity, Christians think that Jesus is their rightful king, that he has the right to govern over their lives, that he is a completely perfect being, that what he tells them to do must be right. They put the interests of other people above theirs, they give thanks to their king and take it in their strides when they meet with mishaps, saying that god is testing them, strengthening them. Selfish ambitions are unheard of in true Christians as they strive to please god’s eyes. All in all, aren’t Christianity just like communism, the only difference being that one is a religion is thus does not affect people that much as the latter, which is a political dominance that once ur country is infested with it, its game over?

I saw this video once in north korea. Oh my, the poor people. They are like so totally brainwashed. Even when the doctors heal them of their blindness (which is a common suffering there), they thank their rulers instead of the doctors. In a father and daughter’s much emotional gratitude, they even went to kneel in front of the portraits and keep thanking them, saying long live our rulers that kind of thing. Man, it makes me wonder, what a terrible fate for one to be born into a communist country. All their lives they noe nth abt the outside world, nth further than their little closed shell. They happiness, their distress, their entire lives, from since they were born till they die of poor welfare entities, all depend on a few people. I wonder, is it fair for just a few people to hold this much power in their hands? And they dun even give a damn about the millions of people who shed tears over their actions everyday!

Does being a Christian rob one of his or her own identity (oh gosh, Stephen dedalus)? I believe so, in a way, it is true. However, unlike communism, Christians follow their king out of their own wish to do so, they are certainly not being forced. (how can u force a person to believe in sth anw, without using lies and half-truths, and Christianity sure isn’t sth based on that) Much unlike what the majority thinks, Christians are definitely not being brainwashed. I guess ppl have this kind of notion because of the way Christians view their leaders such as their pastors and the heads of the churches. They hold them in respect and actually trust them and what they say. Maybe it’s because of this simple faith that ppl mistake for foolish subservience and naivety. Take me for an example (although I can’t stand in for all Christians), for me to believe in sth, I need to see sth concrete, or at least, read or hear stuff that comes with concrete evidences, such as real-life accounts of various ppl. Without all these, asking me to believe that god is real even though we can’t see him is like telling me in a convincing and serious manner that pigs can indeed sprout wings and fly. If there are indeed that many ppl, not just a small handful but millions of ppl around the globe who claim that God is real, then there must be sth which is true for them to say this. After all, dun tell me that so many ppl are that brainless to believe what someone else tells them.

And the most imp thing of all, is that chirstianity is all about love. Yes, love (and in case some of u are straying away, it’s father-children innocent love thank you). In fact, it stems from the love which god has for us. Then what is the reason for him to create us for? We are not lovable, we destroy things, we are monsters in beautiful exteriors and we snub our very own creator. The only reason is that He truly loves us, that’s y he created us. He definitely doesn’t need us to complement Him for He is as powerful as He is already and He definitely didn’t create us because we bring him delight, far from it, we bring Him sadness and miseries. We couldn’t be a more stubborn bunch of living things anywhere else, who become caught up by our own lives, ignore the hard truth surrounding us and who so adamantly refuse to ‘be taken in’ as we so wittily put it.

this is a product of my random thoughts.. haha. doesn't it ever strike u that it's wonderful that God gave us minds of our owns? He could very well made carbon copies of himself minus the invincibility and power. We would all abide to his wishes and everything, but yet He didn't so. so it's a great thing really, to have minds of our own, we can think all we want, let our imagination roll a thousand miles before coming back down to earth and it's what that sets us apart from each other! the great thing is, despite all our freedom to think all we want, do whatever we want, it's still possible to come back to God, taking into account the thing that there's this conviction to make us do so. =)
