One just needs to read the Bible. God killed more people than the Khmer Rouge. These missionaries are doing terrible harm to Cambodia. The country has suffered so much. The last thing they need is another medieval myth that will further divide the people and drag them down into superstition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411615.post-88683940558088522932007-12-02T18:59:00.000+07:002007-12-02T18:59:00.000+07:00Hi Wanna, actually I don't believe in any religion...Hi Wanna, <BR/>actually I don't believe in any religion or God and people like me are usually termed as atheists. I can see there is some good in most religions but being brought up in a predominently Christian background, I have never had any inclination to 'believe' but respect the right of others to do so, unless, as I referred to in the article, its forced on people who don't know any better, mainly due to their limited education or contact with the outside world. Doing good works under the umbrella of a religious organization is where I draw the line. Being despatched to the four corners of the globe (note: I don't think you can have a globe with four corners!) to preach and convert makes me see red.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138808270729932935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411615.post-22019649342705212262007-12-02T18:24:00.000+07:002007-12-02T18:24:00.000+07:00Oopss...

Since all of my relatives are Buddhist, I'm rather sure that I am a Buddhist, too. <BR/>I think almost religions are good, but sometimes its followers teach or act toward others wrong.Wannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083982559538164902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411615.post-19058619473412576962007-12-02T09:39:00.000+07:002007-12-02T09:39:00.000+07:00Quick story...I was in Battambang at the start of ...Quick story...I was in Battambang at the start of this year and a small bus arrived at my hotel, full of well-fed Americans with their nicely-pressed clothes and large holdalls. They were from a Christian organization - but it had too many words for me to recall which one. I overheard their high-pitched whine about how hot & dusty everywhere was and that they wanted to get their large crate of 'pamphlets' up to their room, to "keep them safe". This crate took two hefty men all their strength to carry up the stairs as I followed them. Flippantly, I suggested to the chief whiner, a fortysomething woman who appeared to be the leader of the group, that maybe the box contained a dead body as it was so heavy, I even suggested it might be Jesus - at which, they redoubled their efforts to get the crate out of my sight and shot me looks that would've killed if they could. I found Battambang almost chock-a-block full of these do-gooders, ready to do the Good Lord's Work. That reminds me, where's my slingshot??Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138808270729932935noreply@blogger.com
