About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Do the right thing, not just do things right

Every single attachment I must do something about my religion. My last attachment, I read the bible with my patient and prayed the rosary with another. This attachment, I pray that I don't see too many deaths, it's depressing me.

"God please don't make too many people die today, especially not in front of me."

But sometimes, death is inevitable for some and I'd pray that they get a quick and comfortable death.

Now I'm attached to a Christian organisation. They start their day with a prayer and sharing with Christian music in the background the whole day. I think it's nice, refreshing for a change but I'm concerned for those who're non-Christians, they must feel quite uncomfortable.

I was so happy to find 3 staffs who're Catholics, working in a Christian organisation. How remarkable is that? The best part is that I don't feel the usual tension between Catholics and Christians. Yea, that's how it should be, respect each others differences and celebrate it, not fight to see who's the best.

Really, what's the point if we manage to win? You think you go to heaven faster or you don't die? Rubbish.

I admire their enthusiasm at spreading their religion about. What about respecting other people's beliefs and religion? If everyone's a child of God, and God loves everyone of us, will pagans who've lived a good life go to hell? Will a terrible Christian go to heaven? If a good pagan can go to heaven, why must we force him/her to convert? If you say they can't, who are you to say they can't?

I never gave it much thought. I despised myself for knowing too little, for not being able to quote the bible well. Until I met a lapsed Catholic who told us to give way to the Prostestants who were arguing vehemently with us. It's not because we know we'll lose, but because we're following Christ's teaching. Love our fellow brothers and sisters, even if we do not agree. I was disgusted when I saw how some people have little respect for our church. How she just did as she pleased in OUR church. Goodness, just remembering the incident makes me fume.

What's more important to me is doing the right things and not just reading the bible and quoting the bible the whole time. You may know the bible well, but how well do you know the preacher?
