Take this as my final advices, like it or not. Honestly, it’s such a annoying job for me to give somebody this type of basic education which anybody is supposed to learn from his mama for how to live in a modern society.

1. I don’t know you, sir. I didn’t write for you to read. It’s fine to me if you want to argue. But you don’t have to be so rude.5 v! p& J( n, x
# J4 k6 _; V" M$ ^2 q2. I could be really really bad if I elect to be rude—I have sinned all my life who cares to sin for one more time, considering that I have never been a good Christian. But still I decided not to, for the sake of proper manner. I learned this most from my education and history of human civilization, not from Bible. I’m glad people in this town have agreed that we have zero tolerance toward “hockey hooliganism”. For the same reason people in this town will agree that we have zero tolerance toward “BBS hooliganism”. You can grab any kid of 5-year-old in the street and he will tell you what he learned from his mama that “ if you can’t talk nicely, then don’t talk at all!!” You probably can get by acting like this when in you own house if you mama doesn’t mind it, but not here, sir.- c# l8 R9 {8 P!

From my personal experiences, rudeness shows ignorance or insanity, never reasonableness.* o4 z& Z7 y, E/ p9 ^% H; n

3. We happen to be in a country where at least 70% of people believe in God. Christianity is the cornerstone of this country. It has filtrated into every aspect of life and become part of it. It’s almost impossible to understand this country if you don’t understand Christianity. People don’t talk about it only in church, people also talk about it in the occasion of constitution, legislation, police-making, law enforcement, racial discrimination, disaster relieving , or even blood donation. I don’t think it’s not appropriate talking about it here. Again, I didn’t write for you to read, sir. And you can elect not to read.

People die every day.0 {- m' }9 v, Z4 l8 Y
But people don’t always die from aging or illness. People die from murdering, killing, starving, poverty, unfairness, alcoholism, drug problem, suicide. Some people who are not as lucky as you need salvation. I don’t expect they will get any this salvation from you, sir. But some of them do get it from Christianity.- ]' N/ V* @0 |) F% L

For the sake of fairness I have to clarify one thing: it is our discipline not tell who are going to the Hell and who are going to the Heaven Only God has the right to make this judgement and people never can be God.

/ c- ~- h1 r1 A$ i% y0 Y4 m9 d5.Christianity has never been of fantasy like Utopia. On the contrary, Christianity is of love, hope, solidness, action and power. It was the ultimate comforts for the people in Nazi’s death-camp to have strength to survive everyday. It was the ultimate motivation to win a war like WWII. It was also the ultimate inspiration to create the countries like Canada and the United States. Today North American is the only promising land which attract the people from other corners of world to come for a better life, sometimes even at the price of their lives. All of this originate from Christianity.

For the same reason It doesn’t make sense either when some people say they hate Christian but in the mean time enjoy himself in a country that was built by Christianity. |
