While looking for something worthwhile in the Internet, I stumbled upon a blog of a staunch Catholic. Ah...a disgruntled visitor. Anyway, the post was already a year old and was long overdue (Thursday, March 20, 2008)but as they say, "better late than never".
I saw a blog today called Pinoy Atheist. I was shocked at the blatant atheism his website displayed - widget after widget, advertisement after advertisement, post after post blatantly flaunting his godless philosophy.
Pinoy Atheist: Dear DebbieDana...should I call you "DebbieDana"? I was a little lost here. What's the connection of my widgets and my atheism? I don't get it. I place widget in my site because I find widget cute.
I was thinking about giving out his blog address so we could bombard him with messages of the love and hope of our God, when my very wise wife said, "No, you will just give him more traffic." I married smarter than me!
Pinoy Atheist: Thanks but no thanks @ DebbieDana, I am happy with the services my traffic provider is giving me. Beside, there are a lot of Filipinos outhere who's giving me a free lift.
So you think that by bombarding me with messages of the love and hope of your God would make my atheism go away @ DebbieDana? Well...come on...take your best shot. Other than your childish ways @ DebbieDana, do you have other method you want to try on me? Come to think of it, it's your Bible @ DebbieDana that made me an atheist in the first place. How many prayers or novena would you and your wife do to sanitized your Bible huh?
Let me put this on you and your wife's "coconut", widget or no widget atheism can also thrive in the Philippines. that's because Filipinos nowadays are already informed. Progressive literature and ideas have already found our shores.
We now have Filipino Freethinkers who openly criticized your church @ DebbieDana. Men and women who left the void created by your God and started blowing the trumpets of reason. Voices that was started by Jose Rizal which gives our country a new direction.
My blog is just a mere shadow of better things to come and in my case, I'm proud of being one of the pioneers to hit the drum.
(Oh and by the way, I didn't make a link of your blog in my blog @ DebbieDana. The feeling is mutual.)
It's Holy Week and what a great and solemn time to think about and ponder what our Lord did for us....and the Muslims and the Buddhists and the Hindus and the Jews and, yes...even the atheists.
Pinoy Atheist: It seems you wanted to sound...uh...universal @ DebbieDana
Sorry to burst your bubble @ DebbieDana. For a Muslim you are a blasphemer, for a Buddhist, you're irrational, for a Hindu, you worship the mundane and for a Jew, you've fallen away from Yahweh...Oh and for an atheist like me, you're delusional.
And let us not forget that not every Christian denomination in this world believe in your Holy Week @ DebbieDana. Yes! Some Christians say that Holy Week and Easter are pagan holidays. Oh I forgot, you're a Roman Catholic...Hahaha! The Beast in the Book of Revelation.
So what's universal about that @ DebbieDana, and who cares about your Catholic created "Good Friday"?
I guess I was so shocked by the website, not because I have never met or read about atheists, but that he was Filipino.
Pinoy Atheist: Why @ DebbieDana, do you think Filipinos are just as dolt as the average mail order bride? That Filipinos are just mere automation of your church? Well think again (if you are capable of doing so...)
Come on, Filipinos also has the capacity to think, to reason out. We are proud of Jose Rizal.
I am confessing my ignorance now and please forgive me but I have always been so impressed with the Philippines and what a religious country it is. But let's not forget, atheism is a religion also. Certainly they are entitled to their own beliefs and of course they have the right to free speech. But it's also important to remember - the Lord loves them just as much as He loves me....or you.
Pinoy Atheist: I forgive you of being a total ignoramus in this issue @
DebbieDana, but as we atheist always say, we don't need to become ignorant forever.
So you're proud of the "religious Filipino @ DebbieDana. So where did it brought us? As one of the "largest Christian nation in Asia" We are now permanently mired into a deep economic rut. Our Filipina domestic helpers were one been synonym to unintelligent maids. We now have one of the largest number of media killings and human rights violation cases. Our government is riddled with corruption. We are becoming famous in profitable kidnapping, drug trafficking, child pornography, prostitution, arms deals, car robberies and other rackets. Poverty is rampant in the urban sectors. Beggars and street children littered our street. Polluted "esteros" and rivers. Our national resources is near depletion and we are notoriously marked of being a "Sick Man of Asia".

This is a good example of your God's love to the Filipinos who have been worshiping Him since the coming of the Spaniards on March 16, 1521 with the cross (Roman Catholicism) and the sword (oppression).
Remember @ DebbieDana, prayers and crucifix doesn't wield magic to a nation. I think you have confuse religion with morality and piety with enlightenment...it's quite obvious.
I am grateful for Holy Week...it leads to Easter which is the sole reason we can have eternal life. By the way, Sweden has the highest percentage of atheists.....the Philippines is not even on the list! Let's all pray for the Pinoy Atheist.
Pinoy Atheist: So what happened @ DebbieDana? Why is Sweden more successful compare to this God infested country, the Philippines? Does being religious help the Philippines...compare to what Sweden is now experiencing: High Capital Income, GDP per capita of $39,600. Economic growth. Natutulog ba sa pansitan ang diyos mo @ DebbieDana
Now if prayer really works @ DebbieDana, why waste it for me? Why not start praying for world peace or better yet, for a better Philippines.
BTW, thanks for visiting and promoting my blog @ DebbieDana.
Ta-Ta!
John the Atheist (AKA Pinoy Atheist)
