Critical Thoughts

See you at Dataran Merdeka later in the day.

Thought I’d just put this up here because it is exceeding funny, but you have got to admit that even Christians are not totally free from silly myths and superstitions such as these. Popular culture has made the myth viral, but that does not change the fact that the story of Friday the 13th being a day of doom or bad luck is just plain nonsense. And yes, we have the Christians and Christianity to thank for perpetuating this myth.

So the anime episodes of Bleach has ended for two weeks now, and I am still feeling a deep sense of loss inside me. It has been a really long ride with Bleach, and I had followed the anime series right from the beginning to the final numbered episode of 366. To be honest, I didn’t think that Bleach could have lasted after arc depicting Aizen’s defeat. The series was starting to go downhill with the intermittent filler arcs, but I always had the original story-line to look forward to. The current “final arc” being published in the manga feels rushed and does not seem to hold true to the spirit of the previous storylines, which is probably why they terminated the anime after the final defeat of Ginjou.

Still, it was great while it lasted. Now I need to find another anime series which can replace the void left by my weekly doses of the Bleach anime.

No wonder UMNO idiots like this person who calls herself “Noel Chenta Umno” have a lack of command in English. I nearly choked on the glass of Pepsi I was drinking. With such a horrible level of atrocious “Engliuirsh”, it is no wonder their absence of intellect is matched only by their incomprehensible foolhardiness in constructing a simple paragraph in the English language. And you don’t need to know “epistemology” to see how terrible the English is.

Christians should take the trouble to explain why the “death” of “god” (especially with a punishment as horrible as the crucifixion) should be considered “good” above all else. I would think that for someone whose “god” died, they should be mourning instead of celebrating. But as usual, Christians (and in extension, Christianity) defies natural human behaviour when something sacred to them “dies”.

As for the Muslim position on the matter, we believe that Isa a.s. was not God and that he was never crucified on the cross by the Romans.
