Chinese In Singapore.

Rubbish. Being westerised is not a reason why people want to be christians.Originally posted by mixedblooder:Christianity did come from the middle east... Jesus was a Jew... he may have been caucasian... most likely was...since the jews did look relatively white... but anyway.... although Christianity is a Middle Eastern thing... public opinion is that Christianity is a Western White man's religion.
I believe that most people think that Christianity is the Western fashsionable thing....which it is to a certain extent... but not in Europe anymore... but certainly in USA.... look @ the prez....
Hence I believe yall think Christianity will get yall into the Western circle... that's why we all wear the cross...
I am not picking a fight or saying it is wrong... i am just stating my observations... no offense to anyone.. not even you Tyranosaur man!
Don't anyhow generalise. -
Sorry Mixblooder to trash your feelings of Anglo Saxon superiority, but geneticists have concluded that Jesus was indeed Jewish but the original Jews from the Holy Land are more closely related to Arabs that your much-vaunted white man.
Jews like Ariel Sharon are indeed white but they're the descendants of European Jews. -
I totally agree with you!
Above all, a chinese should remember his race no matter which country he belongs to. -
no offence taken? How was it trash? Anywayz but I am sure that people convert to Christianity to be in the American Circle Sphere of Influence... like to be in their culture and stuff; aka westernized.... like wearing ties and shirts and shoes etc

I did not say it was trash but I trashed your theory that Jesus was white.Originally posted by mixedblooder:no offence taken? How was it trash? Anywayz but I am sure that people convert to Christianity to be in the American Circle Sphere of Influence... like to be in their culture and stuff; aka westernized.... like wearing ties and shirts and shoes etc
To quote you "Jesus was a Jew... he may have been caucasian... most likely was...since the jews did look relatively white..."
Look at Yigal Amir(Rabins assasin), if hes white I'm David Beckham
As for the other points, read CenturionMBT's response to you -

What you are talking about are yuppies.For many of us, we enbrace both christianity and our roots.Originally posted by mixedblooder:no offence taken? How was it trash?

being christians does not mean we lost our cultures.It is just a religion that we embrace.
For your info, some christians don't agree with many of the western values. So does that mean that we become christians because of the west? -
Christianity is popular because it's a very versatile and modernised religion. Not because of its connection to the West

But in general the origin of all religon: Christian, churches and temples are from humans creation.Which are all perceptions and beliefs past down from generation and places to places.Originally posted by Stevenson101:Christianity is popular because it's a very versatile and modernised religion. Not because of its connection to the West
Anyway the point is that as Chinese in Sg, what are our roots, social mobility have race faster than perception and laggers would be lost and follower would customise new horizon of beliefs. What shld we argue abt. Integety problem arises these days. Everyday this world suchz big time. I hate my life, I hate this world and I hate all human races, I hate Moneyz..itz the most evil demon which destroy all human races... I hate the government ... -

Err.....what are you armish?Are you anti-progression??I mean come on if you believe to be westernised means to watch tv,drive a car,use the internet and wearing pants and shirt i'm seriously thinking something is wrong.The cross around my neck? it's my religon and i do not think there is anything wrong with that.As for speaking mandarin well i admit i failed my in school and i quite hate it.But then again i quite hate speaking english too as i've never been much of a language guy.I only picked it up cause it's what most science books are written in!And since science is my fav subject i have no choice in this.Originally posted by mixedblooder:Look at your clothes... your shoes... your cross around your neck... your tv... look at all of it... I think that's the way it is... Chinese think its more fashionable to be AMerican. Some of my Chinese guy friends seem ashamed to admit they speak mandarin. It has become like a fashion to fail Chinese in my school, people don;t care about the language.
Well as for the WEst and the world being round stuff... well i meant West as in White people, Caucasians... but specifically American, that was what i meant by WEST.
As for the term Caucasians well i doubt many of those "white" people in europe and the US have ever been or even had forefathers from Caucasus(sic)Yeah I know Christianity was from the middle East, whether Jesus was a white blue eyed blond dude is neither here nor there, but most probably he would be caucasian looking... anywayz... the point is.... that Chinese...or not just Chinese... most people... believe that Christianity is taken up by Western White people... even though its dying out in Europe, but its still strong in America... i mean look at the Prez....
Hm...dying out in Europe?!?!?! Whatever made you think that?
Christianity is really strong in eastern Europe,Italy,France,Spain,Germany,Ireland and England!!Oh wait that's almost all of Europe!!The head of the Church of England is their king/queen.The Presidents/Prime Ministers of practically all of the European countries are Christians(though of differing denominations)Sorry Mixblooder to trash your feelings of Anglo Saxon superiority, but geneticists have concluded that Jesus was indeed Jewish but the original Jews from the Holy Land are more closely related to Arabs that your much-vaunted white man.
Jesus was more likely a black haiired yellow skinned or black skinned seeing as to how his people came from Epygt,Nubia or thereabouts.I am not picking a fight or saying it is wrong... i am just stating my observations... no offense to anyone.. not even you Tyranosaur man!
Same here dude

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about here.....could you rephrase?

Jews look like white so they are most likely white?
Pls lah, do your homework, how you like it if some ignorant redneck said that "malays, chinese, thai, japanese... what's the difference"
FYI, thinking Christians become christians becos they want to be western is typical... well, chinese-style xenophobic thinking. For goodness sake, not everyone is as simplistic in their thinking lah... seesh... For the way you type your post, it dun even look like you are bothered to get to know the facts straight, instead relying on your own irrational repository of "facts". -
Blurp...

I think CenturionMBT Is a hero!
HE IS EVEN MORE HEROIC THAN LEE KUAN YEW!
FRom NOW ON! WHEN I GROW UP I DUN WANNA BE JUST LIKE LEE KUAN YEW ANYMORE! I WANNA BE JUST LIKE CenturionMBT!! YEAH! -
I saw your message Charr..
You really never do your research at all to buy into such delusional lies. Please get informed. The very least you coudl do is to know the truth rather then know a little, and absorb and believe the most sensational claims. -
It's called evolution my friend. When the Europeans migrated to America, they too eventually lost their roots through the generations. Even the native cultures themselves evolve out of their "traditional" state. Just look at the Shakespearean English culture, much of it is lost in England; In fact the only place in the world where you can still find the remants of Shakespearan English and culture is in Beverly Hills (the Hillbillies) who despite being detached from it's native origins, still preserved its culture.Originally posted by ProudSGChinese:Singaporean Chinese nowadays have no feelings for the Chinese Culture, the Chinese Language
So my argument my friend, is that the Chinese Culture itself is evolving too. For example they have switched to simplified Mandrain in China, but the Taiwanese and Hong Kongers still use traditional Mandrain. We use simplified Mandrain in Singapore, so are we not more in touch with the "traditional" chinese culture than the Taiwanese and Hong Kongers??? -

Want to fight iszit?

Nevermind, i should not speak so much stuff, cos yall will get sidetracked from the point and critic me heh, anywayz, fine fine Jesus was a jewish guy i said he most likely might have been a caucasian looking person, but that is not the point. I don't give a **** how Jesus looked like. What i said was just my thoughts whizzling in me head.
The point is; as i said before, i believe Christianitiy as a religion is a kind of brand of being Westernized, the "in" thing is to be Christian cos the Americans are Christian, and we all love America soo much don't we? Well not America, but perhaps its "way of life". Anywayz, "sorry I have forgotten your name" said the people i am reffering to are yuppies, okie, i assume yall are not yuppies then, okie well are there many of these kind of "yuppy" people then? Or are they a minority? Cos i am sure such people do exist.
Next, Christianity in Europe is dying out, more Europeans regard being Christian as something just to put under the "State your religion" category on official forms, they don't really believe in it much,,, especially after the book Holy Blood and Holy Grail came out (this book provided detective type evidence that Jesus' crucifiction was false and denounced what Christians believe Jesus was today)... in England and France, Churches have been turned into pubs, lounges, resteraunts and sometimes apartments or even manufacturing lines (but quite rare cos of the decor that churches possess). Whatever Churches are left (Canterbury, Edinburgh Cathedral) are only there for tourist purposes and to teach young kiddies how to sing in Latin, i've been there, tourists can dress up like cardinals or priests and have photos taken with the beautiful stained glass for 10 pounds. Most Europeans are more into the Eastern religions nowadays like Buddhism and Taoism. So there!
"Want to fight iszit"
Chaar, i can see why the mods must hav edited your post, cos you like to turn everything into a joke, i've seen you in other forums and posts, you make fun of cross-dresses and bangladeshi workers. No wonder u have got your posts edited. -
