Most muslims and christians are usually those kind of people who shouted for peace here and then yet in their hearts, they actually desire the last and great battle to arrive as soon as possible. Some great hypocrites, in my point of view. But then again, do they really bother?

Most muslims and christians are usually those kind of people who shouted for peace here and then yet in their hearts, they actually desire the last and great battle to arrive as soon as possible. Some great hypocrites, in my point of view. But then again, do they really bother? Well, you must understand it from their point of view. Abrahamic religion (unlike non-Abrahamic religions and beliefs) don't believe in Reincarnation so to a Christian and Muslim, you have only one life and failure to believe in Jesus or Allah results in total damnation in hell. Maybe they believe that it is better to force someone to believe rather than let them be damned. Their logic ... despite of having our "best" well-being in mind, falls VERY short when comes to tolerance. As for the last great battle, both of them believes that after the great battle, EVERYONE will embrace God and live happily (at least that what I understood). Frankly speaking, I rather be in a world that is in turmoils and seeks answers rather than be in one that is peaceful. A peaceful world has no challenge in it. Oh yeah, meaning to ask you, how condition with SAR? From what I understood, things seems to be getting bad. Malaysian tourism is effected and Singapore's business seems to be effected as well. |

Not good, but better than China. I wanted my school to close down but they just refuse to do so. Anyway, I don't quite bother myself with it. If it comes, so be it. |

Thats largely the part which I don't like about them Yup, they have it bad. Maybe they will learn tolerance and willingness to live in peace with the rest of the humanity as we progress ... better that than the alternative of a full-scale war. I don't think its everyone, actually, from what I understand from their speech and behaviour(those in my country). They actually believed that lots of people in today world will go to hell eventually. The worst thing is some of them are actually happy about it. I don't know about you, but if I was given an option between giving up my faith and follow Islam or damnation in hell, I will choose hell. At least I will be free. Not good, but better than China. I wanted my school to close down but they just refuse to do so. Anyway, I don't quite bother myself with it. If it comes, so be it. That bad huh? Malaysia is slowly been effected as well, haven't heard of any cases been reported from West Malaysia. Heard Thailand had got it but not sure how bad it is there. Not very sure about Indonesia. I heard that Malaysia and Singapore formed joint medical team to combat this condition ... what's their progress? Do you know? And please don't tell me that they are down with SAR as well ... that could be REALLY Oh well, when it comes, it comes. |

Well, I don't bother myself about it because I think that their idea of either heaven or hell is baseless. Oh well ... everyone with their own opinions. Well, Hong Kong's medical team has shown much progress than ours(which don't have much progress) but I tend to put most of my hopes on the WHO medical team. China is the worst, they claimed the situation there is controlled but as you can see, its far from being stopped. Well, lets just keep our fingers crossed (no offence ... cross and all) and hope for the best. Whatelse can we do? Oh yeah, how does SAR goes from one person to another? It seems to be affecting medical personals so .... touch? Body fluid? Air? |

Yeah, basically by contacts, fluids and air-con room. There is some ongoing debate about whether is it air-borne, better hope not. You got to be careful or aware when someone squeezed or coughed besides you...... |

You got to be careful or aware when someone squeezed or coughed besides you...... OK, thanks. 1st casualty in Malaysia - a 64 yr old man from Perak (if not mistaken) died. The nation is a bit panicked by now. |
