1st, before anyone read the rest of this,
Let me tell you that I`m a Buddhist, Brahmist, as well as a Taoist.
I also went to Christian school and study Christian teachings,
and I have nothing against Christianity by itself.
I respect Jesus Christ, although not as son of God,
but as a Great Teacher like Buddha and Lao-Tzu.

Nowadays, there were lots of tension with Muslim and Arab being associate with evils.
However, I do know quite a few Muslims, and I would like to say that they are rather nice people.
But, If someone tell me that I can only choose one over the other...
Honestly, I prefer Muslim despite knowing nothing about Islam.
Why?
.......................................................
IT`S BECAUSE THEY NEVER TOLD ME TO GO TO CHURCH!!!
When I lived in Australia, sometime church people came knocking on my door,
and advise me to go to church.
All I did was staying at my home, and when I refuse because I`m not a Christian,
he asked, [May I have a chance to convert you?]

SERIOUSLY, CAN`T A MAN BE LEFT ALONE TO BELIEVE IN HIS FAITH!!??
WHAT`S WRONG WITH NOT BEING A CHRISTIAN!?
Not only that, whenever I didn`t attend school chapel due to other business,
Teacher treated me like some kind of an Infidel when I`m not even a Christian to begin with.
And as far as I know, Christian church is the only one who did this,
Taoist and Buddhist monks don`t do it. Never heard non-terrorist Muslim did it.
SO MUCH FOR FREE RELIGION!!!
As for Media,
It`s not OK to use Christian symbols in medias when they got ported to USA
Ex, La Pucelle etc.
But it happened to be OK when someone use Buddhist name on Porn website.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!????
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I found overly zealous people too troublesome to work with.
As an example,
There was a short story that I wrote and I use Christianity as a discussion topic.
However, I intended to make it represent religion as a whole.
The only reason Christianity was use, is because it`s easier to write.
I can easily substitute it with other religion, and the context will remain the same.
In the story, after Satan managed to defeat the Almighty power of Laws and Sciences, people seeks aid from the Church, and with the power of Archangel Robots, Satan got defeated.
.......Here`s the trouble.
There was a guy who read this and advise me that the 1st scene should be directly when people ask for the Church`s protection. - {i.e. Church is powerful}
When I told him that this cannot be done,
because it will destroy the context that People are indifferent to religion,
and rely on laws and sciences over morals.
He got angry that I didn`t listen to him.
There`s also an argument in which I didn`t made any pretext about the Church has robot,
he said,"It`s like suddenly there`s a Buddha robot, don`t you feel out of place?"
I got stunned by his remark and didn`t reply him, when I actually thought........
"No, What`s wrong with that?"
The context was that people are indifferent toward religion, and after become hopeless with situations, finally turn to religion. while religion itself adapts with time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beside Christian, there was a time when I said that Asura are deities and I`m an Asura Worshiper,
apparently a Hindu guy thought that I`m a Zoroastrian, when I know nothing about it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me repeat again that I have nothing against Christianity and its Teachings.
But I do have issues with people who thought that Christianity is the only rightful religion in the world, overzealous, indifferent and disrespectful toward other religions.
