Men of Faith

Men of faith do not want to know. Like misguided children, they only want to believe.

We Filipinos are men of faith. It means we have no faith in our country. In this 21st century, however, we still have faith that as our country grows darker, the promised return of the Son grows brighter.

Ignorance and fanaticism is perpetually busy and it needs feeding. All of our famous religious leaders – the Catholic bishops, Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement, Brother Eli Soriano of Ang Dating Daan, including my teachers at La Salle University during grade school and high school proved themselves experts with the works of the Lord feeding ignorance and fanaticism.

Isn’t free will a wonderful thing? After we faithfully feed ignorance and fanaticism in our own country, we Filipinos then migrate to other countries so that we can begin also to feed and support our family especially with self-respect and dignity. Poch Suzara
