As the ban levied in California, CT and MA are enjoying this taste of fruit.

I have already despised the joy of Christians when the Prop 8 was passed last week. Because it is supposed to be a merciful warning rather than victory. Warning against not preaching hard enough, warning against treating marriages and sex so perversedly. Just like how many are still celebrating Obama's victory, which if it is a racial matter: has been too long overdue, instead of start working hard and helping this president practically in everyway possible.

Chrisitan youths in America are usually encouraged the freedom of making and breaking boyfriend/girlfriend as they please as long as they can make the sound "choose wisely" out of their mouths. As a result of this unbiblical act, you see divorces, gay marriages, hiring firing people at will, etc.

They should instead be educated to live with what you make.

Perhaps such a contraption named Pico the pocket projector will be as handy as laser pointer. Interesting, what's the technology behind the heat dissipation of the lamp?

Since Obama's victory for president, many foreign countries especially non-caucasoid dominated ones have been cheering as if it has been waited for too long. Malaysia's Lim Kit Siang questioned a similiar outcome in Malaysia. No doubt, many Malay muslims will be provoked at even the dare of such question, however, it is definitely the kind of justice the so called "minorities" of Malaysia have been hoping for in their hearts.

I believe for the Americans, there have been countless battles of prejudice, racisms, etc. Great heroes can easily be named for evidence.

However, I would have to say it's rather early for Malaysia to head for such change, not to mention Muslim principles are held more seriously or extremely than Christians' in a general sense. However, recent news that challenges certain Muslim Fatwa regarding apostate matters in Malaysia may push the change.

When reading the news regarding a church's appeal to use the word "Allah", I thought about the origin of the word "Allah", which was already used by Christians before Mohammed of the 7th century.

I
also recollected being asked by other Christians here regarding the
religious situation in Malaysia. While examining their emotional
responses, it gets me thinking of the religious freedom in America.

No
doubt, one can easily understand how freedom of religion is better.
Nonetheless, one has to question the extend of such freedom and the use
of it. It is normal for those living in the supposedly free worlds to
empathize with the persecuted ones, but it is a tougher decision to
choose whether to that this empathy to a level of being a witness for
Christ or to a level of hidden self-satisfaction and pride which will
lead to jealousy especially should the roles be reversed. And the result of the latter level has already seen its days, especially in America where many Christians are not biblically well trained, falling for emotional decisions rather than the truth, more lazy, etc. And as if the more conservative they appear to be, the more jealousy they have towards those who are "outsiders" to them and have acheived success.

California passed Prop 8 on Tuesday with 52% to 47.9% although there are still undecided voters. While many Christians are being optimistic of the outcome, I find these numbers scary. Churches need to seriously educate people in these matters to seriously look at what God says, the responsibility of a Christian witness, to truly discern God's commandments and Holy love, and clear all the stereotypes on heterosexualism and homosexualism and vain satisfaction of such close outcome.
