There are 7,000,000,000 BILLION people existing on this planet earth today - HOW COME ONLY 1 OUT OF 7 people celebrate the BIRTH OF JESUS? How come, most Asian non-Catholic countries enjoy a higher standard of living and thinking? So much so these growing and developing Asian countries who never heard of Jesus are able to hire with bigger wages Filipino workers to wash their dishes, laundry their dirty cloths, drive their vehicles, cook for them, run their elevators, be janitors of their office and residential buildings, sweep their streets, etc??
What happened? How come these Asian countries never heard of Jesus who declared to his apostles in the HOLY BIBLE - a book written by inspired authors of God:
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. "Go ye into all the world and make disciples of all the nations in my name" (Matthew 28:19).
So how come in all of Asia during these past 2011 years only the Filipinos in the Philippines love, worship, and adore Jesus as its Savior and at the same time - the Philippines is way, way behind in the race to achieve the higher standard of living and the higher standard of thinking as a nation otherwise more known as the race for civilization?"

How come? Because Filipino Christians apply Jesus' teachings literally as expressed on the Sermon of the Mount, The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:2-13). "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them... Blessed are the meek for they shall possess the earth...etc" They equate servitude with god's will. Like the Israelites who were once slaves in Egypt; who later on escaped through Moses, god has a purposed the Filipinos to become the present day missionaries for the establishment of his Kingdom. At least that is how my outspoken evangelical pastor puts it. He would later on comfort his flock by saying, "We are not of this world. Our home is in heaven." All that crap... We have lost our sense of national pride. Our country is indeed a nation of domestic helpers, janitors, construction workers, etc... It saddens me deeply that only in this country can people glorify mediocrity rather than encouraging people towards industry and creativity; people end up in slavery. This time, there would be no Moses, or no Jesus, who will come to our aid. If only they realize that we are heading towards the abyss. I don't want to sound pessimistic but, in reality, that is where we are heading.
