Franchise of Fear

Saturday, November 19th, 2005

Life is never be so scarry. You dine with your mates in heavenly beach cafe then suddenly a Hell-like blast doomed everything. Thatz happen in Bali, for the 2nd time. Maybe some more r coming.

Who did those evil act? all I know that they’re humans just like us as I watch the only remains of them; their decapitated head. Lately, local television broadcast the terrorist ‘confession’ video which was found by Police in a stormed terrorist nest. The video shown the 3 familiar face of suspected Bali Bombing Part Deux, but this time their heads r still attached to their bodies. They’re all humbly boasting the reason or motivation behind their ‘courageous’ act. They claimed they’re doing it to destroy infidelity and they’re doing it in the name of God. Just hold on man! dying for God is great, but killing for God is way uncool.

What is wrong with mankind healthy sense today? the answer is, they’re gone or dead or simply…vanished. The image of terror, war, violence, genocide and even abortion are as real as the crippling world of mankind. We are in war, an eternal war that has been goin ever since our ancestor Adam and Eve decided to disobey their Creator commands.

The real war is not what we seen on television. Its not in Kosovo, Iraq, or Afghanistan. It is not something that can be spotted by U2 spy plane or pin pointed by Laser Guided Bom. The closest clue lies in the suicidal attack of terrorist. But before this, we’ve seen the Kamikazes in WW2.

The real war(or struggle) is within each everyone of us. The war rage in the pipeline of our free will; the war between ourselves and demons. The outcome to this war will trigger a chain of event that leads to its absolute glory; a prevailing peace or gloomed doom. A spiritual war lead an ordinary man become a peace fighters Pope John Paul II. A spiritual war lead an ordinary student into a pilot of terror airlines that plunge his ship into WTC. Where are you going to win this war?

In modern battlefield, Demons has established a strong company and its franchised. It is call The Franchise of Fear and they sell all the Happy Meal of Terror from Big Suicidal Bombmac till Jihad Sundae. This franchise is so global and their killing frenzy become so famous till is creates a new world trend of fear. 

Demons love these dynamite breasted, headpop backpackers and doom deliverer fellas. But I believe, we don’t.

Folks, maybe it is impossible for us to stop this franchise of fear for wreaking our peaceful neighborhood. But do remember, the war is not what we see on the surface. The real war is deep inside of us. Are we giving up to Demons or are we continuing to fight for the infinite power and wisdom is with us?

God is Good and yes you can always choose…

and one more thing, Franchise of Fear now has a delivery express. They can be at your doorstep faster than ever…    

Some reflections from C.S. Lewis

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Some of C.S. Lewis noble thoughts for us to ponder:

“Truths about our accidental qualities may change through history, but the laws of our essence can never change”

“The only essential changes in human condition were fall and redemption. Nothing will ever change our very nature”

“Progress is made by those who ignore zeitgeist and simply tell the truth”

“Neither our unchanging essence or our changing story looks like a progress”

“We are still sinners, but new kind of sinners: sinners who no longer believe in sin. This is the most dangerous kind. We’re sinaholics in denial”

“..our dark and desperate search for joy and life and power, means we can’t stop. We are addicts only pretending to be free. In reality, if we do not serve God, we must serve a demon..”
