Christian Welfare Agencies

Christianity has done charitable work for the poor, but never, as it ever, in all of its history, has done anything at all to get rid of poverty, totally, out of our sick society. Christianity could never be serious in alleviating poverty because, to begin with, she has a vested interest in human misery and suffering otherwise euphemized as “sacrifices.” For all of its alleged concern for the “poor in spirit,” Christianity has been in no field of hypocrisy more shameless – proud of her great success in promoting spiritual poverty in tandem with moral bankruptcy as a way to control the Filipino minds and hearts in the Philippines since the 16th century.

In the meantime, in our sick society, everybody is impressed with the aims and goals of the Christian welfare charity organizations. Especially as such organizations are getting richer while the poor they are helping are getting poorer and increasing in great numbers. Thanks to the business of “mercy” as inspired by the priesthood industry. It is never really interested to remedy, permanently, poverty but only to seek popularity and indeed more money. The Christian welfare agencies have no qualms about our needless population growth especially as it is forcing a fantastic rise in malnutrition, illiteracy, and indignities. In fact, what we are told to believe is that what is important in the end is to please a divinity up there even if it means degrading humanity down here. Acts of charity in this country? Most are about gross hypocrisy wrapped in Christian piety benefiting not human society but only the priesthood industry. Poch Suzara
