Communism, Capitalism, and Catholicism

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Matt. 21:19 Well, in the Philippines, the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos, as faithful followers of Christ, sold our possessions to the rich. We are now the poor. In the meantime, the richest, most powerful economy in the world today is organized religion in general; the Catholic church in particular. At any rate, I take my hat off to the Chinese leaders of China. They are thinkers. They are not afraid to think. Decades ago, Chinese leaders asked: WHAT IF WE MERGE COMMUNISM WITH CAPITALISM? They did! Look at China today. Far more than having billionaires as individuals, the whole of China is a billionaire as a nation today. In the Philippines, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still arguing back and forth whether as followers of Christ we should continue to maintain our religious insanity together with political stupidity so that we will have more opportunities to please divinity; After all, we continue to believe in the promises of Christianity - such as that there is a better world to come after death for us poor Filipinos to enjoy eternal prosperity! Come on my dear readers - WAKE UP! Must we remain spiritually fucked one this earth as we will also be spiritually fucked as a people later after death with Jesus and his angels in heaven??
