OUR SICK SOCIETY UNDER A SICK SYSTEM OF SICK EDUCATION

By POCH SUZARA

Here are sick messages published daily in the Philippine Star. They inspire government officials and employees; teachers in schools and professors in colleges and universities; legislators, lawyers, judges in court; managers in trade and commerce; social workers, doctors, nurses, and dentists; farmers, fishermen, policemen, firemen, and salesmen; single mothers stuck with their malnourished children. Indeed, such holy messages inspire our college educated top economists who been indoctrinated to believe that with faith in God - the millions of our homeless and jobless will economically survive daily existence. Specially by poking their hands into trash cans for food, begging, hoping, while they must only wait for the kind and loving God who will soon provide for them. Just keep on praying! Never mind the power of work while thinking.

So here is Philippines Star that daily inspires millions of Filipino readers to be more attentive to the development of insufficiency, incompetence, corruption as a people; and diminished self-reliance as a nation. Especially to keep the faith in our sick society as blessed by Christianity down here for the sake of prosperity later after death with a divinity up there:

"A world in darkness need the light of Jesus."

"God's timing is always perfect."

"Even the ordinary and the outcast can make the cut to follow Jesus."

"First make sure you are with Him, then you can be sure that He'll be with you."

"Death is gained because it means heaven, holiness, and Him."

"No matter how much you give, you can't out give God."

"To be with Jesus is the sum of all happiness."

"There is no privilege than to be a subject of the King of Kings."

"When Satan strikes, strike back with the Word of God."

"Repentance clears the way for our relationship >with the King."

The Jesuits bragged: "Give me a child for his first seven years, and I will give you the man." The Jesuits could have been more truthful had they instead bragged: "Give us Filipino children for their first seven years, and we will give you - the Sick Man of Asia.

Today, in this age of science and technology we Filipinos still feel so blessed for being Jesuitic, biblical, infantile, frightened, and psychotic. In the meantime, far more damaging than child sexual abuse is the intellectual abuse of our children by the priesthood industry in the first seven years of basic education in the Philippines.

It is self-evident that if a Filipino contributes toward the welfare, change, and improvement for his country, the Philippines will grow and strengthen and the Filipino will reap the rewards of living in a better and a sane society. But thanks to our Jesuitic mentality, however, - the average Filipino does not contribute to his society. We therefore enjoy no national conscience or love of country. Only every Filipino-for-himself syndrome and therefore poverty as our way of life. We must only struggle for our survival as the Sick Man of Asia.

It is, indeed, incredible that in this already 21st century both our government and the media are doing a hell of a fantastic job in pretending that Christian values and beliefs are still functionally precious for us Filipinos in the Philippines.

I said it before, and I say it again: if our system of education were purely based upon the wonders of science and the power of technology - we Filipinos need no longer be living under poverty as blessed daily by Christianity. On the contrary, we could learn to be the healthiest, wealthiest, and the happiest people in the whole of Asia today without having to believe and to have faith in childish biblical lies and holy deceptions.
