The Analysis of Failure

The failure of the Filipino way of life, especially in matters of achieving a higher standard of living as a people, and accomplishing a higher standard of thinking as a nation can, and should be traced, if not attributed to only one major cause: the great success of Christianity in the Philippines. Indeed, from among the many minor evils, only the major evil called Christianity has kept the Filipino spiritually poor as a people, and has kept the Philippines morally backward as a nation. Consider our corrupt government managed by corrupt officials since God knows when. No Filipino can be elected to a public office unless he belongs to a religion. Indeed, there has never been an atheist in the Philippine government. No government official or employee would ever admit to being an atheist. In fact, government functions or meetings begin with childish prayers. Poch Suzara
