We are Poor Spiritually as a People and Fucked Morally as a Nation

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matt. 5:3 Indeed, to learn how to be poor in spirit is what Catholic education has been and still is mostly about in the Philippines: to learn how to be frightened believers; hardly to learn how to be courageous thinkers. As ignorance prevents its own enlightenment, we cannot even figure out why, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are only getting more famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Look how in this day and age, we Filipinos still believe and have faith in the recycled biblical lies and ecclesiastical deceptions. Look how we still believe in the insane messages preached not only by the Catholic bishops, but we also continue to believe in the same recycled delusions and confusions from the religious charlatans such as Bro. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord church; Bro. Eli soriano of Dating Daan; and Bro. Apollo quiboloy - the appointed Son of God. All of them, by the way, are among the filthy-rich individuals in this filthy-poor, God-forsaken, and morally crippled country. I said it before, I say it again: The worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart - otherwise more known as being "poor in spirit;" specially for the glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven! To think that Jesus was not even born in the Philippines. According to the silly bible, Jesus was born, some 2,000 years ago, in a foreign Jewish land, not in a Catholic country. Look at us filipinos as a people in this already 21st century: we are still into more praying, believing, singing, dancing, joking, laughing, lying, waiting, hoping for the arrival of our Savior; and, indeed, as we produce three babies each and every minute of the day and night, we are still busy, more than ever before into more propagating, really, in reality, into more fucking! In the meantime, thanks to schools, colleges, and universities standing not as educational institutions, but as commercial enterprises established by the Catholic church in our poor and backward country, we are hardly a nation of intelligent thinkers, leaders, readers, explorers, innovators, and inventors; not to mention - enlightened voters. We are only a nation of silly believers and frightened followers busy with our childish prayers! Poch Suzara Twitter# facebook# Google#
