Kazakhstan passed new religious bill, then jail missionary

Here (Video) link to Youtube, where you watch an Unificationist announce guilty, 2 years jail term. It is said, in the video, that she “divided people in sinful and righteous, perfect and imperfect” is a crime against peace and humanity.

Here’s the PDF document (Link) to a report on the bill passed on 26th Nov 2008. Under those points, for example, I try to explain some interesting one,

- That “small religious group” is not allowed to conduct religious rite, nor own building
- Cannot like, practice in a legally own house if you are not registered. That makes virtually every new found belief one of them.

Severity of punishments includes exportation from the country. Kazakhstan is World’s 9th largest nation, population consists 40 over percent of Muslim and Russian Orthodox. (Thanks, David)

Japan forumers want government to redefine marriage

I am pointed to this Japanese forum, and informed that it is about a petition to urge Japanese government to legitimize virtual marriage, not a common kind you may guess. It is a union between real world people with a 2D Manga/Animated character.

I can’t read Japanese Kanji, hence no way I can confirm this. The number on the right increases by 5-10 each day. My question is, will Japan government pass the law if this amasses enough number? Like, say ten thousand.

Great little Chinese quote from 933 FM

Be the best of both Worlds

Here are 2 lists. The best, and the worst. Pick one. I’ll try both

Steampunk fantasy Chinese MMORPG. Great artwork, not so great ideas.

Look at the logo, wasn’t it an obvious copy of FF7? I also heard it’s game play is a literal WOW engine, and who don’t know Steampunk originated from where! Blending nice little ideas from most great games out there, is this the best Chinese game developers can do?

Make a date with Darwin, speaks freely for a day

academicfreedomday.com urges you to make your day on 12th Feb 2009, they said,

“On Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday (February 12th, 2009), students everywhere can speak out against censorship and stand up for free speech by defending the right to debate the evidence for and against evolution. In 2009, let’s make "Darwin Day" Academic Freedom Day!”

(Link) Academic Freedom Day, speak out and practice your belief in public. Can we do it in Singapore? I really wonder how Atheist ‘practices’ their ‘belief’. Open sharing, not meant to offend. (Thanks! Mr Belfort, for pointing to this site)

Lake Eden, about the dark side of Humanity

This is a movie I recommend, and will definitely get a copy to watch. I know some friends of mine prefer only ‘positive’ kind of movie, but as long as it strikes a positive effect, any tools might be just as useful. Wouldn’t you agree?

Iranian Cleric in sex scandal

He is Islam, right?

Header,

“A hidden camera catches an Iranian cleric committing adultery, and the video rockets around the blogosphere, where a new generation can finally skirt state censorship.”

As I said, the age of no shadow. There will be no link from me here, visit Rockson, or The Daily Beast.

Beginning of another journey

I finished “War Trash” few days ago. I am now on “The God of Small Things”. I can feel my speed has increase, as do my age. My New Year resolution is a book per month. Wish me.
