Poor Jose Rizal

As Christians in this only Christian country in Asia, we do not even read and know the bible contents! As Filipinos why should we read and know the writings of Jose Rizal? There was nothing different about Rizal. He was just like the rest of us religious morons in this country. After all, hours before he was executed by the religious morons of his day, Rizal, like a frightened little boy crying, went to confession, heard mass, received communion as he retracted! Of course there is also this ecclesiastical hogwash written by catholic scholars that Rizal retracted not with his brilliant mind, but only with his broken heart. So that Rizal ended up as a winner in the rat-race for salvation. His soul made it to heaven. In fact, I am told by grown up Pinoys and Pinays that Rizal in heaven today is most likely busy just like Mary, the Mother of God, praying for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen! Rizal was executed because he was promoting the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge, indeed, he was cultivating human intelligence as the scientific way of life in the Philippines. Thanks to the religious morons who won against Rizal, including winning against his so-called Knights of Rizal, we just continue to be a nation of religious morons. Indeed, in the God-forsaken country, hundreds of millions of Filipinos never cease to employ religion as its major weapon in the war against reality. Poch Suzara
