●長洲太平清醮期間,二十多名基督教徒拿著木製的長槍盾牌,盾牌上畫了鮮紅的十字架,企圖硬闖北帝廟,結果引起爭執,要不是警察調解,幾乎釀成武鬥。第二天,當巡遊隊伍經過之時,他們又大聲干擾,報以噓聲,結果又差點武鬥。9;^l

在香港,宗教自由,只要不作惡社會,你信甚麼都沒人管,你也不可以將自己的信仰強加於人。bPl

信上帝的信上帝,拜北帝的拜北帝,本來互不相干,可以包容最好,不屑別人的信仰,儘管不相往來就是。若是搞到上門挑釁踩場,行徑就惹人反感了。(zR

你以為自己是「天國驕雄」?今時今日還搞「十字軍東征」?IbwYA

近期大熱的小說《達文西密碼》,書中有許多反教廷教會的內容,對於十字軍東征的目的,提出大膽的假設,令這場在基督徒心目中的聖戰,掩上了不光彩的陰影。zkYb@Y

這麼一本書,遭到教廷的強烈譴責,但它依然風行在基督世界中,沒有被誰禁掉。這種現象,證明了兩點,一是真正的基督徒胸襟廣闊,有容乃大;第二,無論你信甚麼教,都不要喪失獨立思考的能力。,N4+L

在香港,我碰到過一些「虔誠教徒」,他們對其他宗教的排斥和鄙視,已到了無可理喻的地步,似乎除了他們那個教會,你信甚麼都是邪教。限於狹隘的心胸,停止了心智的進步,囿於一個小圈子內,自覺完美,而圈外就是罪惡滿盈的世界。他們一邊告訴你耶穌愛世人,一邊又警告你只有信者才得救。x

基督教的有識之士們,在幫助上帝完成拯救世界的宏圖大業之前,是不是應該先為這群圍內的迷途羔羊撥亂反正一下?G[z[4Y

Like many long-term Microsoft (NasdaqNM: MSFT - News) employees, Jeff Koertzen toyed with the idea of leaving the company. But the event that prompted the human-resources manager to bolt for good was not a get-rich opportunity at a promising tech startup. Rather, it was the software giant's withdrawal of support for gay rights legislation in the state of Washington in mid-April after criticism from a local evangelical preacher. "This stupid move affected my decision," says Koertzen, a gay, six-year Microsoft employee who submitted his resignation on May 4. "I decided that now was time to go."r(jR'7

Plenty of co-workers shared his outrage. Idealistic techies who believed that Microsoft was more than just an ordinary profit-driven company, that it stood for a set of progressive values, were crestfallen. "One of the reasons I came to Microsoft is because of its very strong stance on human rights," complained Robert Scoble, on his popular employee blog, Scobleizer, a few days after the company's position became public. By May 10 an internal petition urging the company to support the anti-discrimination bill had 1,741 signatures -- compared with 197 for a petition asking it to remain neutral.Z| @Y

All the pressure forced Chairman Bill Gates and CEO Steven Ballmer to do something quite rare: backtrack. On May 6, the company announced that it would support the legislation when it comes up in the next session (it failed by one vote). The decision followed a dramatic period of soul-searching at Microsoft......................(!

Evangelicals' influence in American political life has become increasingly visible in recent years. Now the battle over President George W. Bush's judicial appointments threatens to kick up a firestorm over the intrusion of religion into politics. But to many evangelicals, the campaign isn't controversial at all -- it's just one step in a long-range plan to leverage their growing numbers and political clout.
In fact, many of the evangelical activists who form the bedrock of the Religious Right are frustrated that their electoral successes haven't translated into greater gains. After all, their effort to get Christian voters to the polls played a key role in both of Bush's elections, as well as the GOP's control of both houses of Congress. Yet they can claim only a few victories, such as the 2003 ban on so-called partial-birth abortions -- and even that has been overturned by the courts................R2d
