Chasing the Dust Bunnies

Ever since the last posting more than a month ago, I could only stare at the collected dust day after day before deciding that I should just put something up here today. Begone, ye binary dust! I had so much planned for the blog before the weekend but Murphy's Law prevailed. There's nothing much I could do.

April is the birthday month of some wonderful people as far off as Минск. Just saying...

I thought the following song was good when I first heard it. Thanks to neungy1 who put up the English translation on YouTube, I now understand its content and find it rather poignant. Ha!

Stream and enjoy.

Now, I don't spend my time on the net looking for Thai music but some videos, being viral, will eventually catch your attention. Bell Nuntita sang this song as one of the two-song remix during the audition for Thailand's Got Talent.

I must say, a good performance. And sweet-looking too. Before anyone thinks that I support the cause of the LGBT community, I have made my stand some time back. That said, I won't stand in the middle of the street and scream "God hates fags!".

To do that would be presumptuous and assumptive; playing God and being sanctimonious. This group of people misrepresent the nature of God to serve their confrontational methods; cherry-picking from the Scripture whilst conveniently overlook the others.

On another matter, I would have no problems marching in the BERSIH rally to make a stand (BERSIH 3.0 will be a sit-in though) against all things immoral perpetuate by the government of the day.

I should get back to work now.

Amorality, Immorality, and the Follies of Man

I read a post titled Genetic issues on the topic of homosexuality - whether or not it's genetic and how human play God to correct what's wrong, twisting truths. In the Bible, the whole of chapter 18 in the book of Leviticus neatly sums up what and what not to do.

Whilst acceptance, instead of antagonizing these group of people, is the best way to go, one ought to be careful not to accept the acts associated with it. It's true that God loves everyone including homosexuals but not sin.

What perturbed me is the way things are in the world today. To be open-minded means to accept wholly the issue of homosexuality. I don't believe that legalizing it would reduce the stigma against this group of people. What appear to be sincere and lovey-dovey (in the case of Sir Elton and David Furnish) doesn't mean it's void of the immoral acts associated with it. What seemed to be of good intention would end up making sin legal.

From the way things are, it's going to be a modern Sodom and Gomorrah in the making with the theme: true love and sincere sacrifices. When it comes to pleasing ourselves, human always have a thousand and one arguments to go around a problem, don't they?

Far from genetics and from amorality, it's about doing things that run contrary to the commandments of God. Man, in his follies and love of deception, will always live in self-created ignorance and taking advantage of the perceived goodness in the character God. What kind of law is human law? How do the laws of fallen man measure up to God's? As it goes, God is not mocked and we will reap what we sow. A wrong will always be a wrong and no one can change what's true.
