A completely rude, bias and insenstive blog entryImagine the "island" of north Korea, something like this,  We all know North Korea isn't really a good place to be now, especially since many people there suffer and starve from lack of food or proper medication. So let's say, north korea is divided into 'A' land and 'B' land, and they are ruled by their respective chiefs. Chief A says to Chief B, "Can't you see, the grass is greener on 'A' land, you should join us and leave 'B' land". However, chief B says, "I don't think so, what's makes you think your side is better? I rather think that my side is better" Both sides go to war, trying hard to convince each other that their side is the better one, or the one an intelligent and logical person 'should' choose. But both chiefs do not realise one thing, it does not matter how many people they can get from the opposing land onto theirs, because they still live in North Korea. Going to another land doesn't solve their problem of food shortage or lack of medicine. They do not realise that they have to accept help from outside, or get out of their land, or most difficult of all, see thmselves from an outsider's perspective. They must see and understand that their country is like that, and it will be doomed if nothing is done to change it. Now think about the recent execution of korean christian missionaries. Isn't it like the story I'd pointed out above? What's the point of going to a largely devoted islamic nation and trying to change their mindsets and get them to jump on Christ's bandwagon? Isn't it like Chief A asking Chief B to get his people to 'A' land, but which at the end, they don't really go nowhere because they are still on the same doomed island. Do you think islamic missionaries would be able to fully convert christians or catholics if they went to let's say, Vatican City? Yes, it's brave of them to try. It really does take courage. I myself won't have the guts to do it, because I am a coward. Because I fear for my life. Because i know, there is no god that can protect me from bullets. Because I know, no special power can go against the physics of a bullet shattering vital organs in the body. Why do people do it? Do you think Islamic or Buddhist missionaries can fully convert, for starters, the Vatican City? You might say "well, the one that we DO convert, it makes a difference to him" Really? Where was your God when the koreans got executed? If you convert their people, what is going to happen to them once you leave? Do you really think it is safe if you convert one child and leave him in an islamic environment? Do you really think God will protect him? Perhaps you might say, "If he dies, it's God's will, and he will go heaven". Really? You think? Then why don't you think of it this way, convert yourself to Islam, so that you can go to the Islamic heaven too! No? You don't want to? Why not? Because you think your God is the right God? Because you think the other side doesn't see that your God is the true and one God? Well Einstein, the other side thinks that way too. Remember the story above? Each side thinks their side is the good side, the better side, the side worth living for. But until you realise that unless you get out, or allow people to get in(and by that i mean non-believers) or change the way you look at your religion, you will forever be stuck on the same island. And the debate over which is better will never end. Like I said, this is going to be an insensitive and rude post. Where was your God when the hostages were executed?
