The Barber and God

This is a good one.

I wonder what are the views of the atheist & the polyatheist on this :-

A man went to a barber shop to have his hair cut as usual. He started
to have a good conversation with the barber who was cutting his hair. They
talked about many things and various subjects. Suddenly, they touched
the subject of God.

The barber said, "Look man, I don't believe that God exists!"

"Why do you say that?" asked the man. "Well, it's so easy, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist. Tell me, if God existed, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be no suffering nor pain? I can't think of loving a God who permits all of these things."

The man thought for the moment, but he didn't want to respond so as to cause an argument. The barber finished his job and the man went out of the shop. Just after heleft the barber shop he saw a man in the street with long hair and beard. It seemed that it had been a long time since he had his hair cut and he looked so untidy.

Then the first man again entered the barber shop and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist!"

"How can you say they don't exist?" asked the barber. I am here and I am a barber."

"No!" the man exclaimed. "You don't exist because if you did there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks the streets."

"But, I do exist, and that is what happens when people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" - affirmed the man. "That's the point. God does exist, and see what happens when so many people don't go to Him and do not look for Him? That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Err...just for your info before any comments :-

1) I am NOT the messenger of God
2) I am NOT preaching for everyone to believe in God
3) I am taking a NEUTRAL position
4) I am NOT an ATHEIST nor a BELIEVER, I am take an AGNOSTIC position.
5) I am doing a research on the EXISTENCE OF GOD & WHY PEOPLE DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD.

Cars & Safety

Been reading newspapers lately and find that

A LOT of accidents happening & people DYING.

It kinda shocks me to see lives being taken away just like that.

I always wonder what can stop this.

I used to think it was THE CAR itself i.e.

If you drive a BMW, you are safe.
If you drive a Proton, you are dead.

But only now I know that it is IRRELEVANT what you drive.

It is only the DRIVER who can prevent an accident.

So to all you drivers out there, - Chill & Keep it slow. It's just a road not a racing track.
- No need for stuns such as drifting & doin High G turns.
- Don't drink & drive, friends don't let friends drive DRUNK!

You only got 1 life, don't waste it!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

It's been some time since i blogged cuz i had Progress Test.

F6 was the last paper & it was kinda better compared to F5 & F4 but STILL kinda hard.

While studying for the test I kinda felt isolated from the world for a while.

But hey, I'm FREE now. Yep only for now until CNY holidays.

A lot of stuff happening in Sunway KL past few weeks like :-

(1) Freshies Night (the theme was TWILIGHT)

could not go thanks to Progress Test.

Well, thats the thing about doin ACCA. You kinda have to sacrifice your social life.

I wonder how is Sunway JB & Crecendo (err..sorry i dunno the spelling) ?

Egalitarianism

What is Egalitarianism?

Well, it simply means Equality.

All the people around the world really want to see a egalitarian utopia.

However, it is not easy to achieve such a status. Especially in a country where there are
multiracial societies as well as minorities and majorities.

Equality in Malaysia is mentioned in the Federal Constitution under Article 8.
Then there is Article 153 which has resulted in a lot of criticism against equality in Malaysia.

Well, equality is not just a problem in Malaysia but many other countries around this world.
This is because we as humans are never the same although we are the same species i.e. Homo Sapiens.

There is always some difference. I will try to list a few:-

1) Religion
2) Ethnicity /Race
3) Skin Colour
4) Political Ideology
5) Economical Ideology

If you read Wikipedia it says that countries such as Sweden, Finland and Japan scored highly in social wellbeing and equality indices.

Come on! Look at their population. There is rarely even about 5% of the citizens who are immigrants from other countries. No wonder equality so readily exist.

But look at United States. The population consist of a substantial amount of immigrants from many foreign countries. In addition the Sept 11 incident has made matters worse in U.S.

Achieving equality will take a long time through education and understanding.

If you want to see an egalitarian utopia around this region then look at Singapore.

Avatar & Legion

For this year so far I have watched 2 movies.

The 1st would be Avatar.
What can I say?

Well, it was a nice movie. REALLY well done.
The story kinda tells us about human nature i.e.
(i) their total disregard for nature
(ii) crazy about finding a source of energy
(iii) killing no matter what gets in their pathway to dominance

The only thing I find to be TOTAL BS/ does not make sense is :-
The TIME LINE.
Come on, finding a planet able to sustain life & travel to it in 2154!
That kinda stuff might only be possible in 3154!!!!


The 2nd movie would be Legion.

It was kinda short yet thrilling & exciting.
However at the end it makes you wanna say, "WTF"?!
This movie however does raise an interesting question.
People lose faith in God. That happens most of the time, right?
What if God loses faith in people?
Now thats what I am talking about.

However, I believe that God will never lose faith in humanity.
HE might test us from time to time though.
I wonder what the atheist & polyatheist think about this?

The Progress Test

Just sat for the Progress Test for F4 & F5.

Made me realise that ACCA is a QUANTUM LEAP from CAT.

The question might look easy but it aint for F5. It was worse than T7 & T4.

F4 was even worse than T8 & T5 combined. There is an inflation of marks for F4.
(The question is 5 marks but you gotta write more than 5 paragraphs)

Oh& one more thing. The Progress Test in Sunway KL is = to a Mock Exam in Sunway JB.
The progress test was held in the MPH which is actually a basketball court but an airr-conditioned one. Very comfortable but not the test.

Hi & Bye (temporary)

Yo wazz up !

Got Progress Test this week!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got to study or I am "finished".

I will continue to blog on Friday about :-

(1) Movies
(2) God
(3) Egalitarianism
