Separation of Church and State - A Farce, Fraud, and a Ceremony - in the Philippines

Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Mark 12:17 In the Philippines, however, we never had a Caesar, and if we did, such a Caesar has always been under God as God has the kingdom and power and glory more known as the priesthood industry in the Philippines - the land blessed (conquered) by Christianity in the 16th century Consider the Philippine Constitution, the supreme law of the land. It begins with the words: "We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and humane society, and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity, the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution." How could the State separate away from the church since the church has dominion over the State? Indeed, the laws of the land are a State issue. But the church and its priesthood industry have the right and the privilege to meddle with the laws of the land such as the RH Bill? Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech…but if one were an atheist in the Philippines - he has neither the right nor the privilege to be a member of Congress. In fact, from the lowest of school teachers to the highest of college professors, from the lowest court judges to the highest Supreme court judges, and indeed, from the lowest to the highest State government officials - all are much well-established in religion: all have been raised and educated in schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Church in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Listen carefully to this verse written in God's holy bible - paraphrased: "love not the (Philippines) or the things that are in the (Philippines). If Filipinos love the (Philippines) the love of God is not in them. 1 John 2:15 We Filipinos have been educated to render not to fellow Filipinos existing in poverty. We must only render to the Church by imploring the aid of the God Almighty. What is powerful in the Philippines is not the freedom of the people, by the people, and for the people; but the freedom of religion, by religion, and for religion. There is no nothing mentioned in the Constitution regarding the FREEDOM FROM RELIGION. But both the Church and the State always in cahoots together - promote religion In the meantime, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still trying to build a just and Filipino society; still trying to establish a Government that shall embody Filipino ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure for ourselves and for our posterity, the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a government of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, - but the Church with the power of religion have never allowed it because it will put the God business in the Philippines out of business. Thus, the Separation between State and Church in the Philippines has always been and still is a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Separation of Church and State is one of the evils foisted on the world today. What is meant by the term, Separation of Church and State, is: The State is God. And, that is the farce and fraud you should be talking about.
