Jesus as a Failure

Many a good man is a failure from a worldly point of view, but failure is not what one should wish to emulate. Jesus sought to save the world. Is there a dispute that Jesus as a “savior” has proved to be a global failure? Is our world today safer and saner or even a more humane place than it was during the time of Jesus? On the contrary, his plan of salvation was a failure. An ideal savior is needed now as much as 2,000 years ago. Right here in the Philippines, the biggest Catholic country in Asia, millions of Filipino families are crying daily for a Savior!
In the meantime, we are told that tolerant religious people can unite peacefully with non-religious people for a change. I agree. But before that could transpire, religious people must first learn to be tolerant of each other before the non-religious people can peacefully entertain and welcome the unity. Poch Suzara

Poch is a failure. You've been rehashing your arguments for ages, like mustard seeds falling on arid soil.

It would be interesting though to read what triggered your hatred against catholicism, so we can pychoanalyze your bigotry.

Catholicism or none, man is predisposed to supernatural beliefs. Just live with it. This diversity makes the world colorful. God--oops, did I offend you?--I could not imagine living in a world with one train of thought, certainly not following yours.

Tinamaan si Mr. Anonymous, kaya lahat na lang paninira sinusulat dito. What a very sad individual.

In where I stand, I can clearly see who's the failure.

Poch has the courage to stand up and voice his greivances against organized religion, while Mr. Anonymous (who don't even has the courage to introduce himself - that's why he remains in the dark) , is still a puppet of his faith. How sad, how sad, how sad.

look who's talking. as if his identity is an open book itself. ngii.

the point here being, this is not about being anon or not but brandishing nonsequitors and all that illogically jazz. dont mix up your a-theologizing with your quasi-philosophizing. these are two distinct matters.

Oh, Poch has a new fan! w00t! Not only Jesus is a failure, the drama of the cross was stillborn. Pang komiks, kung baga.
