I have been very argumentative about everything. Religion, Politics, Philosophy of life, just name it, I can be very sarcastic in my comments and discussions about it.
Nope, I am not claiming that I am smart. Nor am I claiming that I know everything. But who knows, I may be looking at things from different angle, different from anybody else. I debate others views, and even question and provoke. Did I look down on the other party - probably I am. But, I will never surrender so long as I know that my view was stronger and of better sense.
I know somehow, nobody wants me to start an intellectual argument - I might brag forever and start belittling my opponent. Well, one thing for certain is that I hate stupidity. I might reveal my stupidity as well through my arguments, but, well, I can't argue with an opponent who argument is so plain empty and out of context.
Most probably my design is as such. I always wanted to educate people, I wanted them to know what I know, share my philosophy and let them understand them and be like me. All geniuses have the same nature.. so I wonder if I am a genius. Nehh, that is just a dream.
But soon I realised that nobody wants to ever bother about what I really talking about. If I argue about the philosophy of morality, who want to care, who cares, and why the fuck anybody wants to care about it? If I want argue that religion is nothing but just some old age mind therapy, who cares about it. Who cares about the definition of 'Faith'? Nobody cares about anything.
I guess I have to find another mind which has similar craving as mine. Analytical mind can be a terrible curse. When the brain starts to connects dots together, the more tormented the brain is. The more it gets tormented, the more it wants to know things. The more knowledge gets in, the more dots it become... and you know where it goes next.

The God that cares (..again?)
I had several feedback, verbally, about my previous writing - about that God that cares.
They said to me, that I should not look at the thing that happens right in front of my eyes only, that I should think of the world beyond, about what is going to happen in the afterlife.
The the oppressor for instance, in this world, he can be an oppressor, but be warned that his bad-doing in this world will be repaid; the oppressor will be tormented like shit and dump in a place called hell. By then, the poor will live a good life in paradise, a place where tears and cries are not in their dictionary.
Now, I don't get it. How can such idea appeals to the crowd? Can't anyone think for a second the reality of life? Who wanted a luxury life after he or she is stone cold dead? Oh, and not the physical body will get the benefit of living poorly and being oppressed they said. It is the soul! Again, how can such idea appeals to the crowd?
The reality of life that a rational mind should be able to comprehend is that 1)Poverty is painful. It takes and average of 50 years for am man to live, and that is the length of time a man had to withstand the pain of poverty. Why do anyone should give a damn about the soul living in luxury? The reality is the skin, bone and flesh right now is in pain because of poverty!; 2)Why the oppressor want to give a damn about tormented soul? Nobody had ever felt how bad a soul feels when tormented. Whats important is right now, he is living in luxury; that is more important than anticipating for the shady blurry scenario of soul being tormented in the afterlife.
Human are getting stupid. The grip of the afterlife scenario seems to be tighter than the grip of the reality of life. Regardless of it being just a 'scenario' or 'assumption', it does not make a difference. It is more 'real' than the reality of the reality of life.
Human should first and foremost, pursue justice and equality; not religion. 'God that cares' should not be used as a selling product to cover the reality of life. Instead, reality of life should be painted with the colour of the reality of life; happiness, sadness, poverty, oppressor. That is life. 'Care' from the God that care can't solve anything in this world, unless he is here.
Human should be brothers, regardless of what they are. What is the use of that God that cares when everyone are brothers?

Ultimate Question God Can't Answer
I saw a post in facebook, a picture of a skinny child, black african, carrying a child on his back, white colour. The picture was tagged 'black or white, skinny or fat, straight or curly hair, God cares'.
I see this as very peculiar. I just can't understand a God that 'cares' putting that child into miseries, skinny, malnutrition... hopeless.
Why?
Everywhere in this world, believer in this God that cares, and the non-believer in this God that cares, as well as the one who never heard of this God that cares... they are suffering. Why God that cares allow these poor people to suffer, yet the bunch that caused them to suffer was let go and live happily in abundant. Worst still, those who are suffering believes in that God that cares, and the oppressor rarely heard about the God that cares.
One may argue that someone have to tell the oppressor about the God that cares so that the oppressor become good guy and help the poor. Well, that God that cares must be a lowly, stupid, shitty minded God for that case because it takes that complicated steps to get Him acknowledged as God that cares. Apparently, that God that cares only appeal to the people who are nowhere to go and in deep shit. For the oppressor, who cares about the existence (if there is) of the God that cares because that God that cares will never personally bother them. The God that cares does not give a shit about what they are doing. The God that cares has to 'recruit' a shitty poor guy to negotiate with the oppressor. And to recruit, it may take ages to find the right guy, to recruit the guy, and to make it happen. By then, the oppressor have already lived his life fully and abundantly, and care less if some idiot kill him in day light. By then, the generation of poor people had already lived poor throughout their entire life, scratching for food, and sleep through the night with rumbling tummy. Yet, they have a God that cares. I don't know if that God that cares wanted them to live without eating, or the 'care' exclude food and confort of living.
It disturb me a lot. Why, a God that cares, can allow poor people to be suffering. Good Samaritan can't help that much. God that cares should help them. What is a God that cares if the people that acknowledge the God that cares as God that cares is not dealt with properly.
Why should the poor continue to acknowledge their trust in the God that cares if only death ends their suffering? Why trust in God that cares if there is no end to misery?
Most probably God that cares does not exist, or even if God that cares exist, that God that cares is playing dumb.
