Man Without Faith

What does a man without faith retreat to when he realised that he have sinned? Somehow the first thing I remembered in the morning when I woke up was that I recalled how I made fun of a ill person unknowningly. Umbrella was the nickname we gave to this particular person, which was used between me and Alex. But because of me being an ass in nature, I kept informing Alex about that person being there with the nickname. After only knowing yesterday that the person became like that because of an illness, I felt somewhat uncomfortable and guilty even though that person didn't knew about the nickname thingy. Who can I turn to in times like this given that I am a free-thinker? What I can only do is to blog it out and learn from my own lessons before hurting anyone else. I'm truly sorry to that particular person (although he/she don't know about it), and I assure you that all my nonsense have been stopped. As such, thou should never judge a book by its cover; and nicknames does hurts when the person knows about it and you have no idea idea of what's going on in the first place. But I'm perfectly alright if you call me Ruby, Rubin, Rubbish Bin, Ribbon, Rubs or any other nicknames you can think of.. I will still response to it! In fact, it cheers me up when you call me that since they're pretty funny. :D

Being a person caught in between two faiths, I have chosen to be a free-thinker ever since I graduated from secondary school. Because the upper chain of my family were buddist, I was a buddist from young. I have been doing things that my parents asked me to do that I have no idea of. When I see their so-so-many gods, I am always so puzzled and just pray from A-Z for my family the list that I have always done, which is health, financial and studies. But till I entered ACS a christian school, I slowly began to have mix feelings about religions. Every week from primary one to secondary four, I had to attend a fixed chapel sessions in our schedule. I learnt more about the importance of each every other character traits from their Bible. At times, I even go along with the prayers and do my own prayers at night when I'm facing my own set of problems. But soon, I asked myself one day if I could believe in both two faiths. But I decided to give them up after asking myself a set of questions after another, especially given the concept of evolution and other scientific evidences. Yes, indeed faith is something you can turn to in times when you are scared, when you are clueless of what you are doing, when you are looking for a sign and many others.. For my grandfather, he simply believed that a faith is something that will protect you. That's why when my uncle's side converted, he was perfectly fine with it. But I believe that I will find what is my very own faith in the upcoming years *tsk NS?*...

trust me, religion is not all you know about it. AHhahaa...

Yup. Me too guilty. Whatever it is, it was a mistake made and never to make. I too hav flaws abt my eyes.. it's inherit..

Dun worry rubin.. faith comes in later part of stage in life.. ahaha... fo me is an imaginery god that I believe will look after us!

But dun be obsessive.. Like u, I'm still always doin what my parents say.. I do question religion and in the process observing and studying it.. Zzz..

Ruby! haha..ya, sort of agree what u said about diff. religions. Like u said, most of the times I just follow what my parents said, praying, attend meetings and all that. Used to be a christian and now buddhist. But up till now, I still doubt whether do i have faith in gods.

God still love you.
V_V ..

Hor hor, i think i know which ill gal u are refering to. (p.s how many ill ppl can there be in our course..-.-"...). And do know tat she's not the only victim ! im a victim of ur verbal abuse too =P...and i shall be hurt no more if u kindly hand over a new psp or ipod xD

i talk bout religion too in 1 of my entry- as i said root of religion is from man's insecurities, we need some supernatural being to depend on in times of adversity.

to add on, no matter how fufilled our life may seems, there always a hole in our heart that needs to be filled spritually =/

lol. we are victim of ur abuse. the latest being kaijie. haha.
Know why there is a hole? cos Man is separated from God. woo.. how successful you are, u still feel the hole..

Hey hey.. Watch your words zai! Kaijie's case is special... And it's not cos any verbal abuse or whatsoever lor.. Ahahaha.. It's more like jeremy who kept talking about it more than I do! XD And please jeremy.. you are the one who kept suaning lots of people around larr! What I say about you is nothing compared to the others.. Ahaha..

One thing for sure is that I think I understand christianity more than buddism.. partly because the fact that I don't get what's going on!

And yes, faith is something we used to fill that black hole in our hearts.. But even the light gets sucked into it.. That's why I really feel that I would need to slowly understand the meaning of life first before taking up any faith at the moment...

man.come on .. stop all the whining of ruben this, ruben tt.. thse whine-er are the do-er themselves too..

let'jus admit tt we all made fun of others and are being made fun of
@ the same time, so the 'shooter' had to be more tactful while the 'receiver' had to be more Spontaneous ~ so that is that~

ciao~
