The Fools, the Hypocrites, and the Frightened

The Christian god is a three-headed monster; cruel, vengeful, and capricious...One only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites. Thomas Jefferson, 3rd US President (1743-1826) If I may add, in the Philippines, aside from the fools and hypocrites, there are also the faithfully frightened. Millions of them, with college education, who would rather serve the Son of God Jesus first than serve, if at all, our country. Among them are senators, congressmen, governors, mayors, and top lawyers and court judges of our country who see to it that the separation between State and Church in the Philippines stays integrated secretly and profitably, only separated for the gullible consumption publicly. In the meantime, in our schools, colleges, and universities, there are a set of religious commandments, or moral writings, which teach that virtue is the way towards eternal salvation; vice is the way towards eternal damnation. Really authoritative doctrines, to which I have but one objection; namely, they are all utterly worthless; especially if we ever hope to create and to spread common Filipino decency as the standard of human life, here and now, in our own country.
