All About Christmas

Tis the Season to be Jolly...Tralalalala,lalalala! Oh yeah? Check out what this season is all about.

December 25 is really a celebration of the Winter Solstice Celebration and today is really Mitra's birthday, not the "other guy".

Watch this video from The Infidel Guy and his guest is Acharya S. They will be talking about the origin of Christmas.

Character Change?

Last Sunday, at Luneta (Rizal Park) in Manila, a political rally disguised as a prayer rally was held sponsored by the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). Cardinal Rosales the Archbishop of Manila have urge the Filipino for a character change instead of a charter change.

Hmmmm for those who don’t know the issue, last week the Philippine Congress urge for a change of the Philippine Constitution to facilitate a transition from a presidential form of government to a parliamentary form and as usual a lot of anti-Gloria politicians don’t agree with it. But WOAH! Even the church has something to say about this?

St. Ignatius Loyola once said, “Wherever one’s business is not worth minding, one often minds other people’s business.” So is that why the Roman Catholic Church and the El Shaddai Catholic sponsored-cult is more excited over the Philippine Congress’s own business?

Now back to business….

Isn’t it weird for the Roman Catholic Church to call for a character change? Boy! What have they been doing for the last 4000 years?

If they were doing their job as the moral guardian of Philippine society, well they’re not doing a good job.

Take the average Filipino for example. A typical Pinoy will always cross the street even if the lights were red. Heck! He will even cross the street even if there’s a large sign that said “NO CROSSING” and even if there’s an overpass near him. Yet the same guy knows the 10 Commandments by heart and always attends Sunday mass.

Amidst poverty, Catholic runs schools have a tuition fee who is…well heavenly priced. No poor family can afford to to enroll their child to have some good Catholic schooling. They won't be able to pay Catholic school tuition fee! Yet church leaders insist that the trouble with Filipino is that they don’t practice Christian charity in the Philippines (Duh!")

The Church (and its sponsored cahoots like Pro-life Philippines) has been fighting the evils of family planning and responsible parent hood yet have not even lift its fingers to find a solution for unwanted pregnancy, alleviate the problem of street children and to give a real solution on poor families with 12 0r more children to feed.

The Philippines today is known to have one of the most corrupted governments in the world. As our government officials suck the average Filipino dry, most Filipino today eat from garbage cans, lives on the street and as you read this blog a lt of our youth are smelling rubber cement to forget their problems. Hmmm, talk about these government officials who always start the Congress session with prayers to God.

After 4000 years of Roman Catholic teaching, Juan Dela Cruz have became Juan Tanga, Juan Duwag, Juan Lasengero, Juan Traydor, Juan Bolero, Juan Estapador, Juan Tamad and Juan Bobo.

So what happened?

Funny as hell! Hahaha!

There's nothing bad with atheist humor.

Kudos to MAD TV and Mr. George Carlin.

When the mind speaks for himself

Here's something interesting I read in the Christian chat room so far...

You are in "Christian Chat:4"
bra_bruster: hi
im_4_jesus_t_brown: what's up with the name bra_bruster
im_4_jesus_t_brown: you a double D
im_4_jesus_t_brown: lol

Here's a guy who have Jesus name written on his chat nick and when he saw the word "bra_bruster" the first thing that came to his mind is a "Double D". I hope he's talking about tractor parts.

She Doesn't Believe in Santa Clause

I was surprise to find out that Dr. Christina Yang (portrait by Sandra Oh) from the TV series Grey's Anatomy is an atheist. Well, she said it herself, she doesn’t believe in Santa Clause and she doesn’t believe in God.

The episode was about this kid who’s getting a heart transplant. His mother keeps telling him that his heart came from Santa Clause, yet the kid figure it out that it was all a lie. Dr. Preston Burke (played by Isaiah Washington), the cardiothoracic surgeon (I think he’s Dr. Yang’s boyfriend) had an argument about this and was kind of insulted about Dr. Yang’s attitude towards his religion…’er spirituality as what he wanted to call it. For Dr. Yang spirituality and religion is just the same. Dr. Yang’s boyfriend says that the reason he considers a being “higher than himself” is because without it he feel very helpless.

What I admire about Dr. Yang is that she didn’t budge on this kind of mentality. Confronting the kid, she told him that she also doesn’t believe in Santa Clause or God and even without such believe; you should still consider living to face life despite the odds. That was nice.

It’s about time someone should start thinking like that. How many parents today tell their children that “Santa Clause exist and if you’re been naughty the whole year, Santa will never give you any presents in Christmas Eve” huh? Come on, do you suppose to scare your kid in order to make him nice? Some say that they just don’t want to take away the innocence of their children, but is deception a part of innocence? Soon as these kids grow up, what other lies will they believe: conspiracy theories, pyramid scams, get rich schemes, God?

Today the Filipino people are living in a shroud of false hope. Many people live below poverty line and these people were making to believe that there is hope in hoping. We live in an age where education is quite reachable if only if it’s affordable for everybody. Yet even these so-called “men of God” are selling education to the highest bidder. Come on, just go to a nearest “Catholic” or “Christian” University and ask how much the tuition fee cost. Or how about Christian grade schools. Do you think a family who earns only P200.00 per day can enroll their children to such “prestigious” schools? But listen how these wolves preach charity and hope.

People live in the streets yet the church doesn’t even open its doors for them. Yet we are made to believe that when you knock, someone will open. We are told that the clean spirits have a chance to go to heaven, yet these men are corrupting their own body with fornication and carnality.

Poor people created a good excuse for their poverty, “God loves the poor” and “Rich people pisses God.” I sometimes think that priests invented that quote in order to prevent a riot. Yet some how it seems that people rely in such passage. Maybe Dr. Yang’s boyfriend was right all along, He needs it to feel that he is not helpless. Yep! Poor people should feel the same way, to reassure themselves of their misgivings, even if it’s just as good as a placebo. Just like taking a swig on booze.

So is that how religion works? Hold on to empty promises and bare threats?

You don’t need to invent Santa Clause in order to bring hope to someone. All you have to do is to show him/her the real world. Who says that in order to have hope you have to go to the afterlife, as long as goodness in humanity exist here, in this very time, there is a chance.

Until next time,
