BAGAIMANA KALAU GEREJA DIBAKAR?

Pada tanggal 7 Januari 2010, dari jam 09.00 hingga 10.00, di Channel TV Discovery, menayangkan peliputan Hubungan Agama dan Kekerasan. Di saat penulis jeda sejenak dari menulis Pedang Roh ini penulis mengamati bahwa betul seperti yang disampaikan pembawa acara bahwa telah banyak korban manusia atas nama agama (Allah/Tuhan). Ditayangkan hasil penyelidikan Archeology tentang kekejaman dewa-dewi yang meminta persembahan manusia, bahkan bayi.

Memang pada zaman Perjanjian Lama, Jehovah demi menegakkan sebuah bangsa yang bertugas mengingatkan semua bangsa tentang janji Allah telah bertindak tegas. Dan hukum Taurat adalah satu-satunya hukum mapan tertulis pertama. Barang siapa yang melanggarnya, sebagaimana semua kitab hukum, maka sanksi akan dijatuhkan.

Kemudian Sang Juruselamat datang. Ia datang untuk menyelamatkan, bukan untuk menghukum. Itulah yang Dia katakan kepada perempuan yang tertangkap saat berbuat zinah. Yesus Kristus mengajar kepada pengikutNya untuk memberi pipi kiri jika ditampar pipi kanannya.

Lalu, bagaimanakah kalau gedung gereja kita dibakar? Apakah kita suruh mereka bakar juga rumah kita? Dari kedatanganNya sebagai Juruselamat hingga hari pengangkatan, murid-muridNya tidak iperbolehkan melakukan kekerasan atas namaNya, atau atas nama agama. Jangan membunuh orang atau bahkan tidak boleh melakukan apapun yang bersifat kekerasan atas nama Yesus seperti yang pernah dilakukan oleh orang-orang Kristen di masa lalu. Perang Salib itu sebuah kesalahan. Sama sekali tidak dibenarkan untuk berperang demi agama.

Tindakan itu pasti akan mencemarkan nilai agama. Gereja Katolik, Reformed, Anglikan, telah pernah melakukan kekerasan atas nama gereja. Sekali lagi itu adalah kesalahan. Kita berharap agar pemimpin masa kini mereka dapat menyadari kesalahan itu.

Sebaliknya ada kesalahan kebalikan dari para pemimpin mereka sekarang. Mereka malah melarang jemaatnya berjuang untuk kemerdekaan dan kebebasan. Padahal kemerdekaan adalah hak asasi setiap manusia. Siapapun yang kehilangan hak asasi manusia, akan masuk kategori bukan manusia.

Kita tidak boleh melakukan kekerasan atas nama agama. Tetapi kita boleh berjuang atas nama kemanusiaan dan kebebasan. Itulah yang dilakukan oleh Soekarno-Hatta dan Soedirman. Patrick Henry, pahlawan kemerdekaan USA, dengan seruannya yang sangat terkenal “give me liberty or give me death.” Maksudnya, daripada hidup terjajah, lebih baik mati saja. Konsep inilah yang ada di kepala semua perjuang kemerdekaan dari kutub Utara hingga Selatan termasuk di dalam kepala Soekarno-Hatta dan sederet nama pahlawan Indonesia.

Berkumpul bernyanyi dan berdoa adalah kegiatan yang tidak mengganggu siapapun. Apalagi jika tidak memasang loudspeaker di atas atap. Siapapun yang tidak bebas melakukan hal tersebut sama dengan belum merdeka.

Kita tidak boleh berbuat kekerasan, apalagi membunuh orang atas nama agama. Tindakan itu akan mencemarkan agama kita. Tetapi kita boleh bahkan harus melawan penindasan demi kemerdekaan dan kebebasan. Itu adalah hak asasi manusia. Di muka bumi ini tidak boleh ada penjajahan dalam bentuk apapun. Jika anda tidak bebas berkumpul di Minggu pagi untuk bernyanyi, itu tandanya anda belum merdeka. Artinya masih perlu melakukan perang kemerdekaan. George Washington, Soekarno, Soedirman, mereka semua membunuh orang demi kemerdekaan.

Kita sering mendengar pernyataan bahwa tidak ada agama yang mengajarkan kekerasan. Pernyataan ini, tentu masih perlu pembuktian. Orang Kristen adalah orang-orang yang cinta damai. Oleh sebab itu tidak boleh berinisiatif menyerang orang (Roma 12:18).

Kita mempercayakan keamanan dan keselamatan kita kepada negara. Dan untuk itulah maka kita membayar pajak. Tetapi jika negara tidak sanggup melindungi kita, tentu kita harus bertindak. Tidak ada hukum yang menghukum seseorang yang membunuh penjahat (perusak) yang masuk rumahnya (Kel.22:2).

Tuhan sama sekali tidak mengajar kita, ketika perampok masuk rumah dan memperkosa istri kita (pipi kanan), lalu kita suruh dia perkosa juga putri kita (pipi kiri).

Sekali lagi, orang Kristen tidak boleh membunuh bahkan tidak boleh memukul orang demi agama. Juga tidak boleh membunuh bahkan melakukan kekerasan atas alasan pribadi.

Tetapi demi mempertahankan diri, demi kemanusiaan, demi kemerdekaan, kebebasan, demi negara yang adil, maka orang Kristen yang jadi tentara boleh menembak orang.

Jika orang melarang engkau berkumpul, dan membakar tempat anda berkumpul, anda diam saja, anda pengecut!

I'm using webcamera software. I can webcast Internet video to view my site from everywhere.

Web camera software senses activity, triggers alarm, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by e-mail With my new web camera software, I can run a streaming webcast of my home viewable from the Internet. This opens up a league of opportunities, the surface of which has not even been scratched in today's world. I can use this broadcast for surveillance purposes, allowing me to watch what's going on in my home at any moment from a remote watching pc.
As long as I have the camera running and a remote workstation with Online access, I can watch the apartment. With the software and the webcam, I can change the settings to capture picture, identify motion (if I don't want to keep the camera running at all times), or use a mixture of a live feed and recorded video to implement a security system that takes full benefit of recent technology.
With a capture card, I can easily transmit related video and screenshots to use on any workstation.
With sensitive data on my pc and precious stuff in my site, it only makes sense to have a protection setup that I can monitor whenever I feel that my privacy is being compromised. If I owned a small firm or lived with roommates, I couldn't imagine living without it.

Webcam software senses movement, sounds siren, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by email

Webcam software detects motion, triggers siren, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by emailWebcams are good for more than just making internet communications more sensible. They can also be an extremely practical device for use in residence or corporation security. Application is now available that can sense activity and use it as a trigger for various procedures.
The way that it works is to analyze the image sent by a webcam that is either connected through USB or through a video capture device for motion. While it picks up that motion, it can afterward take any number of events, including triggering an alarm.
An other popular software, though, is to either send live images of what is happening in the scene that is covered by the camera or to even broadcast via live broadcasting accurately what is happening with both audio and image. If installed covertly, this application could even be used for covert surveillance.
Given the large number of systems that either have a webcam attached or can support one, this is an perfect way to inexpensively and easily defend the area across that computer from intrusion or robbery.

Modern professional surveillance application works with any webcam, Internet cameras, and major capture cards.

Webcam software identifies movement, triggers alarm, captures snapshots, records video, and sends captured images by e-mail Security application has become so difficult that the regular consumer who has been busy minding his store instead of pouring over electronics and online technology articles can be easily overwhelmed when it comes time to setup or update his surveillance system.
Fortunately, there is new professional security software that simplifies much of the decision making. You don't necessarily have to get rid of a working analog closed circuit TV system in order to modernize to a streaming video that can be watched from any ip connected station or 3G phone. Video capture cards can digitally convert the images for webcast. Until yesterday, there had been no real attempts to standardize the new Internet cameras; every make and manufacturer functioned a tiny differently. And when you put webcams into the mix, finding one software to rule them all was heavy.
Professional surveillance application is now accessible that will work for any camera or Internet camera and for most capture cards as well. You can supervise whatever your movement detectors are picking up at your house or company while you can be half a world away. The application itself may not be simple, but it can get life simpler for you.
