Trend

Nowadays trends are confusing and irritating, also contain stupid (in my personal view, if you think it’s okay; then so be it) philosophy.

Movies and books today have similar story, they put the darkness creature (vampire, werewolf, witch, and blablabla) as the main protagonist.

While Harry Potter makes people (especially children) think being a witch seems cool and fun, Twilight charmed the teen (especially girls) by the cool image of the vampires and the werewolf.

Looking at the past when the people despised the darkness creature so much, it is such an irony for the world indeed.

How come hunted witches whom believed to be servants of the satan now being admired?

What the heck is wrong with this generation?

People used to afraid and see the vampire and werewolf as dangerous creatures, now they are adored because of their new look?

I admit, as a writer I had experienced temptation to write something new, absurd, and trying to rebel the common thought including the faith and belief. (truth is I managed to finish one dark story, romance between a Devil Lord and a noble princess that cast away her humanity and God, duh~) After all, in my study (literature) we were taught to think out of the box in order to create a new work.

Again, in my old condition, I would think these kind of absurd stories are okay; yet I am a new person with different mindset now.

I’m not a hater of Harry Potter and Twilight,

I used to read Harry Potter in my junior high time and I wanted to learn the art of magic then (I even made a list of spells from the books). I believed Hogward existed and wanted to join the school, I was so absorbed into the story that I forgot about the truth.  

 Then the Twilight, I bought the book before the people noticed about it. I read it and yeah, mesmerized by the romance. A love (especially to a pretty vampire) that able to makes people to throw everything away (no offense, but I realize Twilight is a two-bit story). Enchanted teens then dreaming for their own vampires or werewolves, worshiping the darkness creatures, some even want to be vampires (I was…).

The conclusion is, those trends are teaching this generation to worshiping the darkness creature (the mister satan and cronies…) instead of worshipping the Lord. Showing that darkness is not scary and evil at all, it’s full of adventure, joy, beautiful people, and way more fun than following God.

The world is indeed crazy, to see people prefer the doom by following the trends and the satan than salvation by surrender your life to the Lord is tragic.      

About the Gay

Nowadays, I read so many articles about the gay and lesbian such as the marriage of the gay couple, the discrimination they experienced, festival of the gay, and the gay genes (??).

I personally do not agree on the gay marriage, I hate the “gay thing” not the gay people. I believe even the gays are loved by the Lord and He has a great plan for them, so it’s not my place to judge the gays evil, low, nasty, etc; we human are wretched, we have no right to judge them. Just leave the judgments to our greatest Judge, Lord Jesus Christ.

One common statement from the gay is, “God created me gay”; to be honest I want to throw a bottle or maybe a shoe to his/her face and yell “WAKE UP!” since the gay blamed God about his/her sexual preference.

In my humble opinion, it is not genetic. A single cell couldn’t make a person to be a gay, our great God won’t make the gene that simple so a single cell would ruin a person. Every person has the power to control his or her mind; this is what I call free will. Thus, being a gay is a matter of the person’s will, not their gene or whatsoever.

After all, there is no gay gene. I tried to find some articles about the gay genes; instead, I found out that the scientists never found any gay gene; there is no such thing like that.

Some articles I found:

• http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4215427.stm
•  http://www.trueorigin.org/gaygene01.asp
• http://fathersforlife.org/gay_issues/gay_gene.htm
•  http://www.godandscience.org/evolution/genetics_of_homosexuality.html

Then, a person being a gay is a matter of his/her life experience and the choice of life, not a genetic problem.

A boy might be a gay because of his childhood experience such as, his mother was a cruel mom, hurting the father and the boy, alas, the mother who is a woman became the terror for him made him despises woman, feeling loved and safer with man. He choose not to overcome his trauma and stay on his safe zone, hence the world got one new gay.  ß Common scenario

Traumatic experience, environment, and the people around are the key factors for a person being gay, no such stupid things as genes, God never make any mistake.

It is possible for a gay to be normal; I believe they can be normal if they want it. After all, with God, any things are possible, the gay just need to repent and seek the Lord.

Put everything on God, surrender yourself and let Him lead you.  

A Grace

Once, my friend told me to be a humble person since in his eyes I always have “I know the best” attitude. He also asked me to learn to accept people for what they are, a thing that I’m struggling to do.

His words pierced into me and embarrassed me a lot since I thought I already am a good person. That was an awakening for me, a truth that slap me hard, I still am a human with nasty pride.

Fight between me and myself is a fight to overcome my ego, and vanity is one of my biggest enemy.

It’s hard for me to accept people that are living in stupid lifestyles yet I was one of those stupid people. I was a gamer, a hardcore one that willing not to sleep until I reach my goal in games. I put my whole life into gaming world and despised people that were trying to take me out; in my mind, they were annoying.

I forgot about my position then and being a hater of stupid lifestyles. My hatred is born from my vanity, I forgot about who I was. The Lord Jesus shows His mercy and I forgot about it, I forgot how people need love and mercy more than a judging attitude.

The truth is, even now I’m still struggling to fight over my ego. I still am hating the stupid lifestyles (gaming, free sex, workaholic, etc) and the Lord’s grace allow me to realize that those are not happen because of the people but because of the spirit.

No matter how hard I tried, I will always fail if I don’t depend on the Lord. My nature is hate, I even hating myself; but then, Lord Jesus is the only almighty God that saved a wretched like me and I must learn to be like Him. 

A person that able to shares love from the Lord.
