With Stupid Prayers is there Hope for our country

The question I asked decades ago, I still am asking today: Is there hope for our country? Yes, with intelligent leaders producing more leaders! There will never be HOPE, however, if we just carry on as stupid followers! After all, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - we Filipinos have not ceased to believe and to have faith in the power of prayer. Thus far, however, the result of our endless prayers is only that we must continue to pray endlessly. In the meantime, if God or Jesus answered our prayers to cure corruption out of our sick society, how come corruption is still a disease that afflicts every man, woman, and child in the Philippines? Indeed, if prayers were efficient or reliable all of us would stay young, healthy, attractive, learned, sane, kind, loving, intelligent, and rich in spirit. But we live in a sick, rotten, and a decadent society due to, if not because of our stupid faith in the stupid power behind stupid prayer. Poch Suzara
