How Sick are We Filipinos as the Sick Children of Asia

Indeed, we Filipinos have yet a lot of growing up to do as a people; and, have yet to achieve a healthy maturity as a nation. Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity has done for civilization in two thousand years. As a matter of historical reality, Christianity, during the past 400 years has done virtually nothing for the growth and development of civilization in the Philippines - the only christian country in Asia since the 16th century All kinds of causes are submitted to explain why we Filipinos are poor as a people; and why our Philippines is still backward as a nation. No one seems to have the guts nor the gumption to openly and publicly declare the truth. For my part, I said it before, I say it again: Poverty in the Philippines is simply due to, if not because of, one great historical evil – “Christianity.” Poverty comes from poor minds and poor hearts. Christianity has always dominated the Filipino mind and the Filipino heart. Indeed, according to Christian values and beliefs, we Filipinos are better off poor and suffering and spiritually malnourished in this life. In this way, we could gain eternal salvation but only later after death with God in heaven. We are, indeed, the Sick Children of Asia: In this already 21st century, we are still into that insane salvation business after death with God in heaven. We still could not care less for civilization as a people. Indeed, we still do not care to live under a manner of life guided with the joys of reason via the pleasures of more knowledge. Just how sick are we as the Sick Children of Asia? Millions upon millions of us continue to have endless faith in the sick preachings of the Catholic bishops; the sick preachings of Bro. Eduardo Manalo of Iglesia Ni Cristo; the sick preachings of Bro. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; the sick preachings of Bro. Eli Soriano of Dating Daan; the sick preachings of Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Church; the sick preachings of Bro. Apollo Quiboloy - the appointed Son of a sick God; and, the sick teachings of Bro. Bo sanchez of the church of the Tooties, Frooties, and Patooties. These sick religious leaders are responsible for the signs displayed everywhere in our sick society - SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU AND HE NEEDS MONEY! Indeed, there is something despicable in our going about daily in life sustained with comfortable lies and deceptions on the one hand; and, on the other hand, inspired with illusions, confusions, and delusions. Yearly - for more than 400 years now, we Filipinos continue to be not the healthy masters, but the sick victims of religion in our own country. Other countries in Asia are already enjoying not only the higher standard of thinking, but also enjoying the higher standard of living. On the other hand, we Filipinos, millions of us, are still stuck in filth with our higher standard of praying for a Savior to rescue and to save us! To think that this Savior is a Jew born in a Jewish land that never got to be convert into a Catholic or a Christian country. It is still a Jewish State. In the meantime, here are the chief causes of large-scale corruption in the Philippines: faith in social insanity; faith in political stupidity; and faith in a silly divinity. All for the sake of protecting and defending and supporting not science or civilization, but only faith in Christianity in our poor and backward country. I say it again: If only our schools, colleges, and universities were to begin producing leaders, not followers; producing thinkers, not believers; producing truth-seekers, not faith-healers; producing employers, not sick employees; producing originators, innovators, and inventors, and stop producing sick preachers, sick actors, sick imitators, sick governors, and sick senators - millions of us Filipinos would have every reason to be happy and proud as citizens of our country; especially a country enjoying common human decency spreading everywhere . And therefore no longer in a perpetual need to be faithful to a sick divinity under sick values and beliefs keeping us ahead but only in the business of a sick religion as the main product of a sick system of education!.
