It seems to be that some self styled guardians of a particular faith system are still stuck in the school playground still obsessing about their bottle cap counts when religion is so much more.
So what is religion about? A man named James who lived over 2000 years ago in the Middle East wrote under divine inspiration a very succinct definition of religion,”Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” In other words it is not about collecting bottle caps or names but about service, compassion and personal purity and integrity.

In order to help you gain a better understanding of what is taught from the pulpit of our churches, I would like to as a Christian invite you to join me at church services for a month of Sundays. You can chose two churches and I will choose two. We could do this in a way that the churches are not forewarned of our attendance so as not to influence the message. Heck, I would be happy to drive you in my old banger and even buy you halal lunch for fellowship meal after the services. My fervent prayer would be that you come with an open mind and receive God’s word with an open heart in order that it’s truth brings light where there is darkness, understanding there is confusion.

Firstly you need to distinguish what is a sin from what is a crime. The scope of any court should be restricted to dealing with crime. Allow the God you worship to deal with the sin without your help.
Next, replace the focus on punishment with the focus on restoration and rehabilitation. Cutting the hands off a convicted thief does nothing to restore and rehabilitate that he may again be a useful member of society.
Finally replace dogma with compassion and uphold the spirit of the law and not just the word of the law. Allowing a child kidnapper to get away simply because he happened to convert to your religion whilst denying his wronged spouse is not compassionate. Neither does it uphold the spirit of the law.’

This is not about SOP. SOP is meaningless without understanding. It is about the lack of compassion and empathy in the adult for the child, who is clearly not her own. It is about the adult who is so sure that she was right that she was prepared to go to extra-ordinary lengths to shut down any response from the child that could prove her wrong. If the adult was convinced that the child had stolen the phone, a quick call to the number would have sufficed. How will she now live with the guilt that her accusations and escalation had precipitated this tragedy?
Rest in peace, young Vasanthapiriya. The Bible tells us that God has a special place in his heart for children. May He shed his grace upon you and take you into his arms.

In fact I believe that every scholar from Mais, Jais, Jakim should be invited into this team of translators in order that they are guven every opportunity to read, critique and understand the Bible and find out for themselves who Jesus is. My prayer is that God will use this to open eyes which are previously blinded, open minds which are previously closed to bring light to places which need it.
