God hears the cries of the poor. Well, if this is true, how come the poor are getting poorer and their cries are getting louder?
Indeed, how come those who are among the rich getting richer in this country are among the first to declare that God hears the cries of the poor?
The question is: which God hears the cries of the poor? The God who is always omni-absent, or the God who is never omni-present?
In the meantime, millions of Filipinos still do pray daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly to God to: “Give us this day our daily bread.”
Divine intervention? It has yet to fix the traditional troubles of the Filipino as a people. Thus far, what we enjoy year in and year out is theological illusion inextricably mixed with political confusion for the sake of our social delusion derived mostly from the bible as written by divine inspiration.
