It is Time to dump our Worthless Prayers

Oct. 8, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sirs: Praying is like rocking a chair. It will help you do something but won't get you anywhere. Indeed, in the Philippines, since the 16th century - daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly we filipinos have been faithully praying repeatedly over and over again and look at the results in our country in this already 21st century: Millions more of us filipinos as a people today in the whole of Asia are still busy praying daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly; specially for the Second coming of the Lord to remedy the ills of our SICK SOCIETY as generated by our SICK SCHOOLS, SICK COLLEGES, AND SICK UNIVERSITIES - still teaching millions of Filipinos to continue to pray to God for the salvation of our poor and backward country - the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago. I said it before, I say it again: as a decent people in an endless search to create for ourselves a decent nation it is time to dump our historically worthless, if not our utterly mindless prayers! Sincerely, Poch Suzara
