Christianity Against Rizal

There exist no difference between the fault of Filipino historians and the fault of the Rizal Knights. Neither would defend Rizal's stature as a thinker who was executed by the same enemy we Filipinos still refuse to acknowledge as our same enemy today. It’s popularly known as Christianity - the greatest destroyer of the Filipino minds and hearts down here for the love of a divinity up there. Consider in this 21st century we Filipinos still pray to God to give us this day our daily bread and to lead us not into temptation. Indeed, Christian teachings that have not ceased to make us feel guilty of the original sin. As if there ever were a Filipino born in the Philippines who originated anything in this world to begin with. In the meantime, instead of intellectual stimulation via emulation, we would rather be busy with childish argumentation, if not circumlocution. In the final analysis, Rizal’s precious messages for the Philippines are still stuck under suspended animation while we Filipinos continue to have faith in our social stagnation by way of political and religious degradation.
