Our right to religion
My cousin’s wedding is in two weeks…
She still hasn’t gotten the blessings from her future mother-in-law….
And my godmother is hiring security guards to guard the wedding entourage as well as the house when it is left empty….
And all for what?
The fact that the future mother-in-law despises the fact that her only son is marrying a Chinese lady - my beautiful, intelligent 29 year old cousin.
Whatever happened to freedom to choose? Whatever happened to OUR RIGHT TO RELIGION?
You see, it all boils down to the fact that even in the 21st century - NOW - religion is still very much the problem when it comes to relationships, marriages and what not.
Take for example, a close friend of mine. She’s Chinese. He’s Chinese. But she’s Japanese Buddhist and he’s Protestant. And she’s widely known (in his church) as the ‘Devil’ who’s trying to take away one of their angels. And she was even told to her face about it - by THEM!
WHY do people condemn other people’s religion when their actions alone is already proving to the whole world that they are not learning very much by condemning others.
WHY do people think that other religions or race are not as good as their own?
Doesn’t ALL religion teach us the same basics?
- learn to love others as you love yourself
- love your God
So, why don’t people just stick to their own religions, do what they were taught to do, and just leave their stinking noses OUT of other people’s religion!

hmmm… my 40sens worth would because religion is man made hence, imperfect.
Can’t beat being an agnostic like me; friends with none, enemy to all. ^ ^;;
regarding your cousin: Marriage is not exactly just between two individuals; it’s between two families. They’re just jam between two slices of bread.
She and her husband-to-be must work it out or it won’t work out.
Of course, there’s always the OTHER way…

elope, elope! but seriously, agree wif KokYee on the “marriage is between two families”. Better to face the music now than to let it fester later on. Good luck to your friend!
