Because we have a society to live within, composed of different people with varying philosophy and stands in life. Whenever I stumble upon this situation (my belief being a muslim, bieng in a non-muslim community or group), I would only wish them to be human at least. And we can live a happy life ..perhaps good friends. Whatever beliefs you got or take.. it all boils down to how you carry yourself with it.

What matters is that we own up to our beliefs, and respect one another, whether they believe in the Christian God, or Allah, or none. I am a Catholic, by heart, word and action, but it does not stop me from interacting with other people, in a harmonious way. And it does not mean that I will impose on the other what I believe in.

I mean the Blog Awards. Bakit hindi "Gawad." Questions like "Hindi ba natin isinusulong ang paggamit ng ating wika sa Internet?" Hehehe. Why English? Is it because 85% of bloggers out there use English? 'Di ba? :p Woops, sorry di ko na-clarify. I mean the Blog Awards.

Conduct what in english? If you're asking me why I made my posts regarding the issue in English, its because of the simple reason that my Filipino sucks - it will sound more awkward and pretentious than Chiz Escudero's trying-hard-to-be-makata style. :p iBlog sounds really geeky …. so I’ll probably go. hahaha.

I'm really amused by how you lowercase c in "christ" and g in "god." I love the semiotics. :D I get your point. We still have a long way to go in accepting diversity. I mean if I am to raise a point, why conduct the thing in English? I'll raise hell on the language question. Hehehe. How about sa iBlog, pare? I'll be there. I'm doing a lot of data gathering. Blacklisting critics would be too mucky naman. I don't think they will. Hehehe. I’m really amused by how you lowercase c in “christ” and g in “god.” I love the semiotics. :D I get your point.

The only thing that set me off was the presumptuous tone of the prayer. The speaker made sweeping statements regarding how blogs should be used to promote christian commitment and be used as a vessel to lead bloggers closer to their god. I laud your autonomy and conviction in taking this seemingly unpopular - but then again, statistically, I've had more people agreeing with me -- stance. I really appreciate it, man. Hope to see you next time. That's assuming I'm not yet blacklisted. haha Hi Alex, I have no issues regarding references to what christians call their ‘god’.
