We've Come This Far - Original

My brother-in-law lent me his keyboard, so I've been practicing on it for a while. I also started practicing Falun Gong, which inspired this.

Yes, my son C
Its within reach a
I know it seems weve just begun C
But we wont allow defeat F G

No, my son
We cannot wait
For time is pressing down on us
And this is now our fate

Chorus:
And we know its not too late C F
Yes we know its not too late
Dont you know its not too late
And weve come this far D# G C

Hey, my friend
Youre looking down
Do you see the shining sun above?
Dont be afraid to turn around

Stay, my friend
Theres something more
Were taking back this hellish state
And evening the score

Chorus

Yes, my love
Were sticking through
Its not our pride or will to do
But love thats simply true

Yes, my love
It never ends
Ill take your hand beginning now
And keep it until then

Chorus (2x)

Beautiful song. Really peaceful.

[dadasarah]

Do you have children?

...

If you choose the second, you're a "bad" Falun Gong member, but a good/unkind person by secular standards.

Your son or your religion: That's your choice. It's not about whether your son believes it or not. It's about whether you choose to believe it or not.

[dadasarah]

Why? My son hasn't done anything I consider wrong. And like I said, anyone may practice or not practice Falun Dafa. It doesn't make sense to force it. It has to come from your heart. I grew up in a Christian home where not practicing Chrisitianity was considered wrong, but even they don't lecture me that I'm going to hell. My son won't have that experience either. There are good/kind and bad/unkind people in every religion, philosophy, and belief system.

[7410n0]

Well I guess he'll feel the same way homosexuals do when they grow up in Christian homes.

[dadasarah]

My son is biracial. Anyone may practice Falun Dafa or not practice, believe or not believe.

[7410n0]

When there's a good reason, that's true. But Falun Dafa gives no good reason.

For example, Faluna Dafa is also racist:

"[Li Hongzhi] said interracial children are the spawn of ... an era of moral degeneration. "

"...he later told followers in Australia that, 'The yellow people, the white people, and the black people have corresponding races in heaven.' As a result, he said, interracial children have no place in heaven without his intervention."

[dadasarah]

I think believing something that someone does is wrong is not the same as being uncompassionate or intolerant.

[sirach]

Falun Dafa still discriminates against gays and lesbians... Despite their principles of Tolerance, Compassion, and Truthfulness...

[brytini]
