At Wednesday, Trump making a statement that US acknowledge Jerusalem as a capital of Israel. To support his decision, he also moving US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This sparks many retorts around the globe. Why must Trump administration makes it even harder all the rest of the Christian communities around the world?  I know that Trump is trying to please his domestic friends. He wanted to please some Christian evangelisms. He also wanted some Jewish organizations. Apparently, this is also one of his campaign commitment at the election. I wrote this post after watching Phil's video about Trump's decision. I read the comment sections and saw even many Jews that live there also not liking his decision. Even in the US, not all of the Jewish organization support this. As a Christian live in another country, I can only say that what Trump's doing is only to please few domestic evangelism. In doing so, he put me and other Christians in danger of persecution...

The media wrote about China letting Coco be released on its theaters. The one reason is because of the family and ancestor tradition that the Chinese and Latino share as a common theme. Coco promotes family value and the gist of balancing dreams and family. Based on China's censorship guide, the movie should've been banned because of ghosts.   Well, actually China could flame international incident if Coco banned from mainland. I mean, come on, this movie has the heart of many Mexicans in it. A ban would sour Latino community at least. This movie researched well by the movie maker .  

This is an old unpublished article. Since the election already over, I'd like to publish this. Considering my friend is already cooled down and the issues was resolved with the capture of Ahok. --- A friend of mine wrote this at his Facebook status: Roughly he said: "So, more non-Muslim friends feels like they understand more about Islam. We, the Muslims, have to ask our Imam, and [you] need to know that not every imam dare to interpret, [we] even need to ask to imam that have more understanding in religion.. How great you are could interpret it on your own.  If someone get pissed, sorry that's my intention, it's better we deepen our own religion instead, and give what best accordingly." This statement made my blood boiled, at first. There were many things I wanted to say about him. Still, I respected him. Instead of writing those complaints on his wall to potentially shaming him, I wrote those here. First, he used Bible verse freely in the pa...

This article written long time ago. Because the issue already resolved by imprisoning the late governor (Ahok), I think publishing this would still considered  ---- A viral went nuts here: The title said: Ahok: Anda Dibohongi Alqur'an Surat Al-Maidah 51 which translated as: Ahok: You are being lied by Quran's Al Maidah 51. Interestingly, the actual line actually said: "... Bapak Ibu nggak bisa pilih saya; dibohongin pake Surat Al Maidah 51 macem-macem itu...." which in English said: "... you all can't choose me; being lied using Surah Al Maidah 51 and so on." The full video: And the context started at 24:14 "... Jadi jangan percaya sama orang, 'Kan bisa aja dari hati kecil Bapak Ibu nggak bisa pilih saya. Dibohongin pake Surat Al Maidah 51 macem-macem itu..."  Which in English said: "... So don't trust just anyone. It is possible from the bottom of your heart that you all can't elect me. Being...

What if All I Want is a Mediocre Life? What if I all I want is a small, slow, simple life? What if I am most happy in the space of in between? Where calm lives. What if I am mediocre and choose to be at peace with that? Photo courtesy of Erin Loechner The world is such a noisy place. A friend of mine shared this on her Facebook post. It was a nice post written using controversial text as a title. Well, at least we were interested to read it. I especially wanted to know on why the author made such claim. First of all, as a Christian, there is no reason for mediocrity and it is not acceptable. You are enforced by Jesus to be an example. What kind of mediocrity that acceptable? Second, the author still talks her faith. She still wanting to help others around her. But, she wanted to do that in a quiet life without exaggeration. This article actually not talking of being mediocre. Its content actually talks about doing things wonderfully with moderate expectation. The author ac...

I'm not abandoning this site. There are many articles I've written since the last article that still unpublished. The nature of those articles were about rants. The problem is that all of my articles containing comments about religion. Should I release them all? I don't want to anger anyone. This site was only here to release my stress. So, I wrote anything in my mind at the moment. Oh, well, there are 120 articles left unpublished. Still undecided.
