夢: 我成了馬?

我似乎是和一家人到郊外旅行，男的以為是dweber，女的又是Kayo，她們還有一個小孩，這條似乎是上山的路，難走的是沙地時足會完全陷入沙中以防滑倒，卻是無法發力，下雨就更難行了。相反，比較易走、舒服的是走草地，奇怪山上竟然有沙地，山不應該是全草地的嗎?
我似乎又是老毛病發作，走得太快於是就要慢下來遷就他們，好像自己是他們孩子似的，我們有說有笑就走到目的地，原來山上竟然有間學校、幼稚園，又好像是寄宿的地方。就它是學校因為我似乎聽到上堂的聲音，小朋友們似乎學得很愉快，這裏於我而言是很大的地方，感覺真似基督教神降生的馬槽。孩子似乎是來學習怎樣和其他孩子相處的，而我給他的任務就是看他懂不懂自動自覺拿紙包飲品/水給我喝，結果我孩子沒有令我失望，我要他做的我不用說出來他就全做到了，不愧是我孩子。不過，我其實不肯定這杯飲品是不是水，因為我當時是看不到的。
這裏只有我一個人拿微細的椅子坐箸，不見陪我來的不知是不是我的父母，而他們在物理現實中是我朋友，各自又有家室，我又怎可能是他們的兒子呢?其實我是有由父母變成了兒子的感覺，然而我絕不擔心似乎是我的父母這兩人，他們懂得自己照顧自己，我不怕我身邊沒有他們，不過就是很悶。我說這是馬糟因為地下不知何故就是沙子極多，沒有學校地下是佈滿沙的。


This time Kayo and Daniel weber had become my parent of a little horse which is me. We move from home to a school/kindergarten/nursery/training camp, from sand to grass(which is two kind of ground for horse racing) through a mountain. The reason I think I am a horse in the dream is in case of sand, my foot would bury deep into it, it is very troublesome if it is raining. Also, I don't know any mountain in Hong Kong that has mud, sand and grass at the same time. Anyhow we are chatting and walking(NOT RUNNING!) along the way among different weather. It is a happy journey with them.

Soon we arrive at the place, somehow I mistake myself to be the parent of my children, I thought was there to check how my kid get alone with other kids. The test is to see if my child would give me a cup of water/drink without I telling him/her. The child pass it with flying color and I am very proud of my son. However there are something uncanny about there, I thought my parent were out just for a moment but they disappear. However, I am not worrying about them since they know how to take care of themselves. When I look around, I see something akin to a stable with a lot of sand in my foot, I am sitting in a small chair handed by my child. Somehow I get a feeling I am like baby Jesus.

挪亞方舟

全譯沒有心機，只譯重點:
香港最近上了一套叫挪亞方舟的電影，根本是美國基右想把明明是神話寓言的事「升格」為事實，以假亂真，香港居然有人信以真，簡直痴線。挪亞方舟本源於一份德國報紙的愚人節的笑話，基右弄假成真，以致世上的基督教徒都成了被嘲笑的對象，信者果然是愚人!

我的質疑為，如果真有挪亞方舟一事:
1. 挪亞一家如何實際上執行把當時全世界所有的物種各取一對的任務?物種小說也有過百萬之多，以挪亞一家的知識、能力及當時的技術條件，如何維持牠們在船上的正常生活也成問題，不要忘記還有數以千計肉眼看不到的細箘及微生物，還有病毒?如何搜集，如何管理?
2. 世界各民族不少都有大洪水的記載，但是和聖經創世記一樣，都稱它民族是世界唯一的生還者，在邏緝上不可能全部為真，必有一真一假，除非這些記載都是由它民族中心出發，所以自然當其他民族死清，因此即全部都是假話，包括聖經的挪亞方舟。
3. 全世界人類豈不是都是挪亞一家的子孫?如此一定可以由DNA檢驗出，何解到今天還沒有具體的證據證明呢?
4. 全世界人類不單都是挪亞一家的子孫，而且一定是由亂倫所出，因此人類DNA的同質性會十分高，發揮不了有性繁殖改良血統的作用，為什麼當時頻頻發生的瘟疫沒有令人類絕種呢?
5. 我無記錯的話，挪亞方舟的故事是在聖經創世紀附近，主流基督教都以為創世紀是一個比擬和寓言，並非真有其事，除非是超有智慧的基督教原教旨主義者只懂一字一句讀聖經，是他們發現了什麼來證明創世紀原來真有其事?

通識教育的好題材，該電影想好一點是真心膠，想差一點是大話連篇，存心欺騙!

The silly original of Antisemitism

I can’t really believe my ears when my Psychology Professor talk about the root cause of Antisemitism in USA. One hint is those who are antisemitic are often deeply devout to Protestantism or Catholicism. Judaism, by definition, denies the validity of the foundation of Christianity, which Jesus is merely seen as a prophet but not messiah or God incarnated. Moreover, Jesus Christ is tortured and killed by Jews which see him as man pretending to be God. Then added to the trouble is Israel is the most restricted country for Christian missionary, maybe more so than Muslim countries. Plus the monopoly of several industry sector in USA by Jews.

We can perhaps see how naive and silly is American mindset. They appears to apply the following logic:
Kill/Torture Jesus Christ=Bad,
Jews do the Kill/Torture,
Jews is bad people.

They seems to forgot that without the hideous treatment and suffering of this Jew. How could Christianity be formed otherwise? How would Christian from all of the world to identify him as the saint without suffer the greatest hardship?

The painful problem in C. S. Lewis's ‘The problem of pain’

C.S. Lewis is one the ‘popular’ apologetic of Christianity in the West. My first impression of his book is that is really painful to read. It is a shame that an writer could have organized the book in such a chaotic way. That also reflect the quality of his argument to defend the omniscient attribute of Christian God. His way of explaining ‘away’ Christian God's responsibility of allowing evil to take place show how far is the (his) Christian way of thinking from the logical thinking of ordinary folks. If anyone start to covert someone to Christianity via this book, then the conversion itself really demonstrate the omnipotent attribute of the existence of Christian God, since it can override logic and rationality.

If I am going to discusses all problems in his arguments, then I may need to use up all spaces in this blog, so I just focus on what intrigue me the most. One of his main thrust is that pain is necessary for happy to exists. In order to have happiness then we must also have sadness. It made sense in psychology of human being but not necessary for an Omnipotent God: because he create not just a universe but create the physical framework(rules) which hold all physical object include the universe, and he also create the psychological framework(rules) which our mind operate. Why must Christian God devise a finite world which happiness of some of us would translate to sadness of other due to inadequacy (finite) of natural resources? Why must Christian God must create a Psychology which would require sadness to co-exist as happiness? Wasn't that Christian God omnipotent? So an omnipotent God can't create psychological framework which would respond to any physical framework which God devise in such a way pain is unnecessary for human to know God? It is not Christian God that is not omnipotent, it just demonstrate how much does this theologian lack imagination! And how the conversion of anyone into Christian would immediate damage his/her intellectual and imagining capacity!

One of lesson I learned is that conservative often see what exists as what is necessary to exist, and fails to see what necessarily doesn't exist.
