Poverty, squalor, and misery keep Christianity going. The ulterior purpose of the whole Christian system of salvation is to make people ill or troubled. Indeed, to put more decadence locally than to spread more intelligence regionally. Look at the Philippines as a backward and a corrupt nation – the only Christian country in all of Asia since the 16th century.
The problem is that we Filipinos only want stupid religion. We do not want intelligent science. We are in mortal fear of science as the one sermon of science is that all life eats other life, and that all life will die. We will never accept science until it transforms the Philippines into an earthly paradise. As long as we have poverty, squalor, and misery – we will never abandon Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and the saints and the other members of the holy trinity otherwise more known as Christianity.
And so, “lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth,… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth and rust doth corrupt, and were thieves break through and steal. Matt. 6:20.
