fuckwarezone forumers up in arms over Pastor Rony Tan’s comments on Buddhism
February 7, 2010 by admin
A discussion thread on Lighthouse Evangelism Pastor Rony Tan’s comments on Buddhism in the fuckwarezone Forum started on 3 February 2010 had attracted more than 8,000 comments so far.
Two video clips of Pastor Tan’s speech to his congregation was uploaded to Youtube. He was heard during his speech criticizing the central tenets of Buddhism such as reincarnation and meditation.
Many netizens appeared to be offended by his remarks and lampooned him for “ridiculing” Buddhism.
arturuz felt Pastor Tan had “misinterpreted” Buddhism:
“Making fun of buddhism….and what that guy is describing is not buddhism at all, anyway to ask the ISD to investigate this church. Watch part 2 where the pastor made fun of buddhist chanting ‘ting tang tong tong’ and ‘blind leading the blind’ totally wtf man….?”
Nerakhoon shared his views:
“This a$$hole is using a simpleton’s misguided experience to make a mockery of Buddhism which most of us know is nothing as described. Isn’t it weird that this is allowed? It’s a blatant attempt to ridicule Buddhism. Needless to say, it was staged.”
Haoki found the clips distasteful:
“Religion is a faith where one seek solace spiritually. If u dont believe in other religions, that’s your view point and i think everyone is fine with that. I dont understand why certain people have to stoop to this level by blasting and ridiculing other religions.”

“he make fun of buddhism cause buddhism teaching is to live in harmony so most buddhists will not do anything. if he dare make fun of islam, post in YouTube and if some members of Al Qaeda see, he can prepare to up lorry.”
kal127 wondered why the authorities have not take action against Pastor Tan:
“Rational arguments don’t usually work on religious nutters. Oherwise there’ll be no religious people. I’m curious why the police haven’t crash the party and charge him for sedition.”
On Wednesday, police arrested three Chinese youths aged between 17 and 18 for sedition.
Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Teo Chun Ching warned that the authorities took a stern view of ‘acts that could threaten the social harmony in Singapore’.
Under the Sedition Act, those convicted of promoting feelings of ill will and hostility between different races or classes face fines of up to $5,000 and three years’ jail.
