   Better yet, abolish the whole bullsh*t of having to state your religion on official documents!

   …and recognise more than only six religions officially. This limitation doesn’t make sense anymore.

   Indeed! They never read it anyway. It’s like the other day I had my Bali KIPS made and I had to submit the photocopy of my KTP which stated clearly that I was a Christian, but they changed (or just practically skipped the religion part and assumed that I was a Moslem for I’m from Surabaya?) it to Islam.
   Not that I mind. I couldn’t care less, actually, I’m not a religious. But what’s the point of having it stated when it’s not really functioning? To make it look less “empty”, maybe?

   If you are from malaysia/Singapore or Indonesia, religion/race will be a factor printed on your identity card.
   This was inherited from the colonialist who wanted some kind of statistical work for their administration.
   In some cases indicating race could be useful in detecting certain diseases.
   But religion have no known usefulness whatsoever.

   Agung Sasongko, said:

   The constitution guarantees religious freedom.

   Hmmm guarantees? It merely states.

   Whether or not words are put into practice is another thing.

   Arton S. Ndorong, said:

   We want to get the same services that those of other faiths get.

   Hmmm and by services, that would include acts of religious intolerance too.

   Its must socialization first, until “recognized” by “Petinggi-2 in JKT ”

   In marriage matters (that always entangle RELIGION elementary body) to get state legitimization then arranged according to with AGAMA and what KEPERCAYAAN that marriage is executed.

   Khong Hu Cu, Wiwidan Sunda, Penghayat Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan YME dllnya, and too may KAHARINGAN caw can be called “RELIGION” as the same manner as islam, Christian, Hindu and Budha, but only called KEPERCAYAAN…(Ps 2. UU No. 1 Thn 1974), or “Aliran Kepercayaan”.

   Confession likes RELIGION…?. it possible that only have the character of REGIONAL.. ?.

   There are many criteria that “there must be” so it can be called RELIGION…

   Maybe not objection caw once gets Information/books hits this KAHARINGAN, there are netter exchanges information/book s than I.

    Interesting article:

    With Old Gods Under Attack, Dayak Re-Brand Their Beliefs

    Why can’t people leave the Dayak (or any other ethnic with beliefs not fitting into the 6 recognized ones) alone?
