Secretary of Education - Fr. Armin Luistro

Without science, a nation can neither extricate herself out of poverty nor out of stupidity. Science is what we know. Theology is what we do not know. In this already 21st century, it is fascinating to know how science has been transforming the world of ignorance into a world of knowledge; while theology only continues to keep the world still frightened under a lot of sacred mysteries in cahoots with holy baloney divinities. But here is something even more fascinating: at present, in our poor and backward country, the Secretary of Education is not a scientist. He is a well-trained theologian; in fact, a Catholic priest - Fr. Armin Luistro. Do any of you really believe that as the Secretary of Education, Fr. Armin Luistro is out there to educate millions of Filipinos to serve as productive and creative citizens the interests of the Republic of the Philippines? In fact, as a Catholic priest, his duty and responsibility is to indoctrinate millions of Filipinos to be loyal and faithful only as Catholics in order to maintain and support the continued existence of the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic church in the Philippines. Foremost Philippine Historian Teodoro A. Agoncillo wrote: "Self-deception is the worst tragedy of the Filipino as a people." I say this is only half of the truth. The other half of the truth is that thanks to our Catholic system of education, the tragedy of the Philippines as a nation is its self-damnation. If you believe that there is a separation of Church and State in the Philippines, you might as well also believe in the existence of the separation between poverty and stupidity. As a matter of historical fact, the illicit affair between Church and State in the Philippines is just like a good Catholic marriage: what God has joined, let no man put asunder,- till death do us part. Both the Church and State protect and defend each other. The former with forgiveness of sins; and, the latter with tax exemption laws. The job of the State is to keep the people living in ignorance. The job of the Church is to keep the people living in fear. Combine the two horrors inextricably together and we have what is known as Christian values and beliefs. They are more known today as: MORE FUN AND SAFE IN THE PHILIPPINES as stimulated and indeed generated by the Sick Man of Asia! Poch Suzara Atheist# Facebook# Twitter# Google#
