Jesus Chirst as Tax-Free Big Business in the Philippines

In times of catastrophe, religiosity (or belief in the existence of a God, regardless of how He is called) among the populace tends to go up. The places of worship in our country enjoy high attendance when force majeure hits with devastating results. With dire forecasts of environment-related calamities in the future, expect the religious organizations in our midst to drumbeat the repent-the-world-is-doomed line with fervor to attract more members intotheir fold. Thanks to its constitutionally protected tax free status, religion has become big business in our country. In a show of financial strength, religious groups have moved from town-hall style preaching to radio and TV to spread their message. The late morning and early afternoon slots of local TV stations on Sundays have become their stumping ground. Raul J. Palabrica, Philippine Daily Inquirer Rev. Apollo Quiboloy of the Kingdom of Christ; Rev. Eli Soriano of Dating Daan; Rev. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; and Rev. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Church are already today BILLIONAIRES. They have been very successful in selling what Filipinos continuebuying - JESUS CHRIST. It says a lot about just how sick we Filipinos are the SICK MAN OF ASIA. To think that these BILLIONAIRES have been in the tax-free big business of religion only in decades. Imagine the vast wealth of Iglesia Ni Cristo selling Jesus Christ to Filipinos in the Philippines for more than a century now; and especially think of the vast wealth of the Catholic church selling Jesus Christ as the SAVIOR of the Philippines to millions upon millions upon millions of Filipinos for more than four centuries!
