City Harvest Church, I don't know whether to pity you guys or hate on you guys. (OMG UPDATED YO)

Sadly, I do know people from that church. So far I haven't tried to ask them about this for fear of hurting them or stuff (I am aware that they're all reinforcing their faith by having the CHC unite tweets/texts though).


So anyway, I was inspired by this post/letter to type something that's TOTALLY unrelated to the CHC laundering and that's Satire.


Satire is the form of comedy. But unlike typical comedy, its not light hearted. Its downright insulting, which is good because the purpose of Satire is to shame and ridicule society into improvement.


Essentially, you mock someone about their masturbating habits until they stop doing it.


Sorry for that shoddy description, but it was all my brain could come up with. And not that masturbation is bad anyway. (Fun fact: Masturbation reduces chances of prostate cancer and cervical infections. Google is so useful.)


Don't mistake me, I call it comedy but Satire has every intention to ridicule and shame. Its the evil form of Sarcasm, if you want it to. There is no taking it back by saying "Oh, I didn't meant it like that." after having a satirical performance. 


Personally, I find it funny when people do this. Satire can be a form of teasing when done right, where no offence was even meant. However, when people misinterpret Satire, it totally flips the board and its now something that is "offensive".


So that post that I've posted above, if you read the comments below, you'll realise in that there are a few comments which depict that they didn't understand the article's satire goodness. 


So to justify this article, satire is only a form of comedy. It was made with the intention to shame and insult. Why? Because we can.


Be prepared to face the consequences the moment decide to steal anything at all. 


And that's all I've really wanted to say. I really am unsure how to write more about this other than saying "What's new?".


People have been always been giving money to the higher ups of their churches. Its just what these people are doing with the money that makes me uneasy, although I know there are people who track the expenditure of the funds. 


Absolute trust is apathy. Just fully putting all your trust into something means either 2 things: You either really don't care about the thing, issues with it just irks you and you want to get them over or done with OR you like getting scammed.


Religion has always been a grey area in my life. I don't believe in God but I do believe some form of higher entity is present and makes mistakes just like all human beings. 


Just think of him as Chuck Norris.


Cheers.


EDIT: Removed a sentence I thought I removed and added abit more about my perception of churches.
