What do you think of God and religion? I was an extremely religious person a month before today and there are some realizations that I came across while reading a lot of top ten articles over the net. The biggest or at least the one that really affected me was a top 10 list of fictional Christ-like figures that PRE-DATED Jesus, oh yeah they exist for example Hercules the son of a god there also many figures who are of VIRGIN BIRTH! I really believe that the background of these figures where just consolidated and they formed Jesus Christ.

I have this strange connection with my boss from USA who was born a catholic to Hispanic parents. He had always claimed that there is no God and the people in the Philippines are poor because of their dedication and blind faith to Christianity. Of course as a strict catholic I didn’t believe him right away but I did not close my mind as well.

I began reading and researching on that matter that is why I came across the Christ-like figures, like a mad man I was obsessed with this theories, what good has Christianity done to the Philippines?! More bad than good! I saw the news last night about this annual dedication of the black jesus in Quiapo, this is an age long Philippine practice for followers, devotees and people seeking a miracle solution to their problems may it be for their diseases or their poor lives. What I don’t get with this black Nazarene is why people keep on coming to this parade of bullshit, people die every year due to stampede, elderly people get injured, kids lost, snatchers steal people’s money.

People may bash me for my lack of faith but I look at the facts of life, what happened to God’s supposedly divine intervention in EDSA 25 years ago? The country is as poor as ever, crime rates are sky high it has become a career for desperate people, is this part of “God’s” plan. Believe what you want to believe religion is created for people who want someone to rely on; someone who they feel will be responsible to their protection of their lives; a psychological defense against the physically stronger eons ago. There are many reasons why religion was created before the world was discovered that it was round every country isolated from civilization have different religion, what constituted Catholicism, Muslim, Hinduism, Buddhist and any other major religion to be real for majority of the population on earth is beyond me.

If there are aliens and they can see us, hear us and understand us I bet my life savings that they are laughing at us right now. Remember how the Vatican ridiculed Galileo for his theory that the Earth is not the center of the universe?! In all fairness Galileo was incorrect that the sun is the center of the universe but the Vatican is incorrect to say that the earth is the center of the universe, this just proves that all Vatican is just a government who by the years collected what they feel is right and thrown out what they think is wrong. The devotees are just fooled for 2 thousand years of this horseshit.

I came from a movie house and saw a trailer for another sequel of a crap of a series Underworld. Vampires are fictional beings that was created by the Catholics! Don’t believe me? How come vampire hunters/fighters are using crosses as their arsenal against these creatures? Haha why not a Buddha statue or the book of Koran or Thor’s hammer?? The idea of these monsters is to scare people from the medieval era as the Vatican continued to prosecute and execute “witches”. How many millions of people have died due to religion especially Christianity? And yet it was us believers who ask for their forgiveness.

Ponder on these thoughts open your mind not the soul that can’t be seen and never was on any human anatomy books, think! What is religion for? Who have benefited really with religion? Who has documented the existence of Jesus that has really witnessed him? Think! Then believe in yourself!
