ON RELIGION AND RELIGIOUSITY: AN IDIOTOLOGICAL DISCOURSE AND REFLECTION ON THE ADVERSITY OF FAITH AND FALSE FAITHFULNESS, AND TWISTS OF CHURCH'S TRADITIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES

 

this day marks the easter sunday in the roman calendar commemorating the rising of Christ from death and saved humankind from sin where believers (approximately 80-85% of the entire archipelago's population) flock the church for one reason - easter egg hunting.

the ester egg hunting tradition as introduced historically portrays the emblem of life as Christ rose from the dead and redeemed the world, ironically and falsely believed to be a celebration for a lovely omelet breakfast, a redemption for a healthier morning meal.

easter sunday on the other hand, ends the lenten season with the holy week observances and bounds to the season of ordinary time where the faithful's ordinary practices are back in the hood - drugs, alcohol, sex, crimes, hatred and gossips among others, sin zone.

in the millennial scenario and thinking, exists a saddened inappropriate twists of the lenten context - from time of contemplation and life reflections to expensive vacations and intimate beach parties and to a point of vulgar and extremely scandalous nudity selfies.

the real aim of lenten season prepares all men to the celebration of death and resurrection of Christ undermining the idea of vacation.


THE BEST DAY

Indeed, the best day so far. More than those long waited holidays and even double pay days.

Wondering how fun would it be, women going to the malls, offices or even riding public transportations with no panties. Yeah!

Definitely, not for men. No way they wear panties.

But, this is a remarkable day, especially for men. Can't even wait for 062213.

oOo

June 22nd - to be marked as the most awaited in every man's calendar.

WORLD = iSAD

"DEATH"

STEVE PAUL JOBS   

October 06, 2011  

POOR CHILDREN, WORLD'S FUTURE

Everyday. 

1. This day marks a global mourn upon the death of the greatest visionary who changed the phase of technology in present times. With the dawn of iPod, iPhone, iPad and all the i'S that one can think of, the world cries at the loss of it's creator. Thus, iSad exists.

2. Everyday counts and everyday a number of poor, young and innocent children die because of hunger. But no one dares to mourn and cry. The right to eat and the right to live is what they fight for. Thus, iSad exists not because of these children who have died and are dying, but because of the threat of loosing iPod, iPhone, iPad and the likes. An iSad for the world.
