The following is merely my opinion regarding Worshipers of the Religions and no offence against any of the Higher ones above and the Mediocre ones below.
A for All**[I'm so not getting ISA for this, duh.]
B for Buddha
C for Christ
Bet you never thought of that huh? Heck, it just strikes me one day. And as you guys should have known Dog spelled backwards is? That's probably offensive, but I'm not hinting anything, or am I? That is for you to decide. All and all, my purpose of writing this post is not to degrade or disrespect any of the Religion or Faith you Believe in. Ironically it is the otherwise, if you would let me.
As the Quote says: "There's no such thing as Bad Religion, only Bad Followers." I couldn't agree more, though many will say otherwise, that there is a Bad Religion. But you see, to me, in Religion, you don't hold on to what you can't see, you hold on to what it preaches, of the Good and the Bad, and Man writes out their own Destiny, the Higher ones only show us the way. But in the End, it is up to us to decide which path are we to take, the one with the Light, or Straight into the Tunnel.
Many times, it is Man who are afraid of the Brightness and opt for the Darkness instead. Here's a Quote that I bear in mind. "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when adults are afraid of the light." Need I say more? No, because we all know, that it is simply the Truth.

So then I'll start with the A, in case you did not catch up with the News, which I barely am myself. There's been this whole issue with the usage of the word All**? Ding Dong? Ring a Bell? Yea, that's it, the story I want to tell. Here's the thing, my dad is right. Other people would be Delighted to Share what they believe in, but no, not the A Worshipers, they are Selfish to the state that only they and they only can Practice their Faith, what they Believe belongs to them.
[All** is the standard Arabic word for God. While the term is best known in the West for its use by Muslims as a reference to God, it is used by Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, in reference to "God".]
So there you have it. But in M'sia, they are against the usage of it for the other Religion. When the word does not even Belongs to them. Why is it that for what preaches Good can make people do Ugly things? Why is it for one thing people Believe in, can make them Sin instead?
Regarding the Sin issue. I'm sure we are no Strangers to the Quote: "Killing in the name of God". You must have heard that haven't you? Cause that is exactly what the Suicide Bombers and all the Bad Followers strongly Believe they're doing. The Vigilante of the World. The Righteous people. The one to Restore Peace on Earth. When they are actually in fact the ones creating War & Pain & Hurt non-stop. They are Nonchalant towards the Lives of People. The Grief it Brings. And the Blood Shed.
Like I said, I have nothing against the Religion, only the Bad Followers, so if you're not one, I'm pretty sure you won't get offence by what I write here. Isn't it so? Unless you too, Believe what they do is Right. If so, tell me what Hell is like? That is when you get to there one day.

Now B for Buddha, as I said, as Buddha would have say, He's a Teacher, not a God. He cannot decide our lives, we decide our own. He is a Guidance, we are the Students. He show us the Right Way, it is in turn up to us to pick the Right Choice.
As this is of my own Religion, I dare to say it's not really a Religion as others may have deemed to be. The Misconception of it being one is because we Believe in Him. Otherwise Misinterpreted as He as our God. When clearly He isn't. But one who has Attain Nirvana and merely wants us to do the same.
[In Buddhism, Nirvana is the state of perfect peace reached by not wanting more than you have. It is every Buddhist's goal to achieve Nirvana. The Buddha described it as: “the far shore, the subtle, the very difficult to see, the unaging, the stable, the undisintegrating, the unmanifest, the unproliferated, the peaceful, the deathless , the sublime, the auspicious, the secure, the destruction of craving, the wonderful, the amazing, the unailing, the unailing state, the unafflicted, dispassion, purity, freedom, the unadhesive, the island, the shelter, the asylum, the refuge...” (SN 43:14)- Excerpt from Wiki]

And now lastly of the 3 Main Religions in M'sia is C. Christ as in Christian, as in Christianity, as in this. Since they are Diverged into many Sub-Faith, I know not enough to say much about it. Hence I guess it is Suffice that they Preach what they Believe in. For who's Faith is not for me to Judge when we have our own.
"Man...is a tame or civilized animal; nevertheless, he requires proper instruction and a fortunate nature, and then of all animals he becomes the most divine and most civilized; but if he be insufficiently or ill- educated he is the most savage of earthly creatures."
