🫡🫡 Yes, just dump the whole guidelines. The current guidelines are an insult to all non-Islamic religions. Leave the non-Muslims alone, there are enough laws to restrict the non-Muslims! If PKR/Anwar claims to be truly multiracial, then it must walk the talk. Agree?

Parti Bersama Malaysia de facto leaders Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad have joined calls for the Selangor government to review controversial guidelines governing non-Muslim houses of worship.

In a statement today, the duo expressed solidarity with Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung, who recently raised concerns over the 2025 Planning Guidelines for Non-Islamic Places of Worship, approved by the state executive council last November.

“Lee appears to be standing alone in voicing an issue that has caused concern among Malaysians affected by these new regulations,” the duo said.

The Bible completely changed for Tim Allen.

He’s been reading the entire Old Testament — in Aramaic, French, Latin, and Greek, page by page. The story that wrecked him the most was the Book of Job. When Job asks God why he’s suffering, God essentially replies: “You weren’t here when I created the world. You don’t understand why the waves stop at the shore or why the stars move… so why are you questioning me?”

It left him humbled and in awe.

In a world obsessed with quick answers, certainty, and self-importance, the Book of Job stands as a profound philosophical reminder of humility. It teaches us that true wisdom begins with acknowledging how little we actually know and how vast the mystery of existence truly is. There’s something deeply honest about the raw exchange between human suffering and divine perspective.

What part of the Bible (or any ancient text) has surprised or moved you the most?

“No rules” parenting doesn’t create freedom — it creates chaos.

Jordan Peterson explained it perfectly on George Janko’s podcast.

He saw parents who refused to set boundaries end up chasing their wild toddler around 24/7. His solution with his own son at 9 months old was simple: clearly teach “no.” Within two weeks the kid learned the rules, stopped testing everything, and could finally explore freely without constant hovering.

Rules aren’t prisons. They’re what make real freedom possible.

Structure early on actually gives kids (and parents) more freedom, not less.

It’s about building a foundation so everyone can breathe easier.

What’s your take — do kids today have too many rules, or not enough clear boundaries?

Abigail Shrier: "The number one symptom of depression is rumination, pathologically obsessing over your pain. Getting out of your house and accomplishing anything is good for you, sitting around, talking and thinking about your problems is a bad habit."

Evangelicals really had dudes singing “there’s nowhere I’d rather be when you’re singing over me” to Jesus

Then acted shocked when an entire generation of men checked out of church.

"(Saying) you have to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior or you won't get to heaven makes no sense."

Rev. Anna Flowers of the United Church in Walpole argues that "I am the way, the truth and the life" is NOT literal, & that there are many valid religions and ways to Jesus.

I just listened to Gabor Maté on Steven Bartlett’s podcast and it genuinely made me rethink everything I thought I knew about ADHD.

He said it plainly: No gene for ADHD has ever been found. Not one. What gets passed down isn’t the disorder itself — it’s sensitivity. Sensitive kids feel the environment more deeply. In a stressed home (and our society is making parents more stressed than ever), that sensitivity often turns into tuning out as a survival mechanism. That’s what gets labeled as ADHD.

Recent stats for context:

- In the US, ADHD diagnoses in children nearly doubled over the past 20 years — from ~6.1% in the late 1990s to 11.4% today (about 7 million kids aged 3–17).

- Worldwide, prevalence in children is estimated at 5–7%.

- In Europe, rates are generally lower but still significant, around 5–7% in many countries.

The same child, raised in a calm, supportive environment, might become highly creative, empathetic, or a natural leader instead.

We’ve been telling millions of kids (and adults) they have a “brain disease” when many are simply reacting to the stressed world we’ve built around them. This shifts the conversation from “what’s wrong with you” to “what happened to you?”

It feels like a much more compassionate — and honest — way to look at it.

Do you think many ADHD diagnoses today are more about environment and sensitivity than an innate “disorder”? Have you seen this play out in your own life or with people close to you?

Elon Musk was asked: “What’s one invention that’s made us worse, not better?”

His answer: short-form video.

He called it straight-up “brain rot.”

And he’s not wrong. A local news report highlighted how kids are getting flooded with dopamine hits every 15–30 seconds from YouTube Shorts and TikTok-style content. Brain scans show overactivation in the reward centers, which over time trains the brain to crave instant gratification, shortens attention spans, and contributes to attention problems, behavioral issues, and even emotional dysregulation.

Doctors are now seeing cases where it’s hard to tell the difference between true ADHD and what they’re calling “environmental ADHD” caused by excessive screen use.

78–84% of kids aged 2–12 are on YouTube, often for 2+ hours a day.

This one feels especially urgent for parents.

How much short-form video are your kids (or you) consuming daily — and have you noticed any real impact on attention span or mood?
