It is estimated that, there was about 8.5 million Filipino devotees horded the recent feast of the most famous Roman Catholic idol, the holy Nazarene. “Hey, no offense here. I’m just trying to get your attention, and I think I got it. So maybe, put down that pitchfork of yours and continue reading this post.” Imagined if the bomb treath was not only a treath, our coountries population could have almost cutdown a bit. That’s why the government cut-off cellularphones cignal in entire metro manila to aboid some insipid dim-witted moron from plagueng our phones of some post-apocalyptic-ass-kisser-prophesy ,or from a numbhead that wants to reap your sanity by sending stupid bombtreaths. May they be abducted by some rebels, whom will teach them the art of true fear.
First of all, my opinion here might be a second hand thought, or maybe not; but for all I know, their faith is deep-as-black-as-their-sleeping-god. Yet, their action towards their fellow human is shallow as their minds. Sadly, neither reasoning nor compassion was seen beyond that vast crowd. You need to squeeze yourself beyond the horde of geez-you-smell-like-shit just to get yourself entangled in a maze of lost sheep following a false dream. And, if luck just might be on your side and managed to get up-front with the “black-one” you have to search yourself thoroughly, coz some of your personal stuff might been snatched by a petty thief. You see, January 9 is a one miraculous day, it is a day where devotees pray and bandits receive cosmic blessings. Though others struggle to find a spot where they can wipe their towels “it is said that if you managed to wipe a piece of cloth to any part of the black Nazarenes body, you’ll be healed from what-so-ever-sickness”, some find a spot where they can grab the opportunity and take advantage of the situation. It is a once a year festival where hordes of morons gather for a day of mindless struggle for freedom, salvation, deliverance, forgiveness, healing; wealth and sometimes, for power. So why loose the chance to outwit those fools and stand beyond the crowd and just glanced around those pesky dammed when you can join the club and ransack their pockets and bag.
Every year, tons of people get smashed, crushed and sometimes squashed to the ground. Others got trauma, while some just managed to see others shoe for the last time in their life. While some managed to bring other to the hospital, others were rushed to a local morgue. Suffocation under the words of sorrow. Regret is a word they love to hover upon, neglecting authorities’ like they didn’t exist at all. Tell me, will they ever learn?

Though, most of us “Filipinos” call ourselves “Christians”, the book of almanac tells the world that we are not “Christians” but “Roman Catholics”, don’t you find this odd? They call themselves “Christians” yet they don’t follow the “key-word”. All they do is whine about their problems, cast dismay to those who can’t feed their own young’s. To top it all up, why do they neglect the 2nd law given to us by mosses? Yet still, why do most of us follow these blasphemies? No matter how hard other sect barge on their faith, they can’t tear them apart. Aside from being a “till-death-do-us-part” relationship with their religion, you’ll be amazed on how they focus their selves in to just one-piece-of-wood-idol.

Humans, no matter how hard or easy things turns out, they’ll find something to give thanks or mock to. They ask for guidance, yet they only just listen to what profits their balls and egos. More than those good sermons, uplifting preaches, glamorous chandeliers’ that hangs from their respective churches and soul soothing voice of the choir you hear every Sunday. There’s something deeper that most of us don’t understand why, the why, they devote their selves to their gods.

It’s not just the priests, his sermons, their gods, nor do those cute sisters you imagine each time you pleasure yourself that they fight-to-death just for the sake of their so called faith. I’d been thinking this lately, and I think, this might answers some of my issues.
Praying to those idols doesn’t just answer all they want, but also it is a mean of escaping some guilt driven sins without hearing anything. I mean why tells your priest that you and your boss have an intimate bed relationship and your sorry husband knows nothing about it when you can tell it to St. Peters image and he won’t mock you back. Why tell your Pastor that you secretly took P1000 from your crews set drawer, when you can whisper it behind Mama Mary’s statue in your house. Why asked for your local Elder’s forgiveness, he’ll just tell you to pray the rosary, the Lord’s prayer 3x, hail Mary and other ritual prayer just to save your sorry ass when you can tell it to the image of some idol without it complaining, nor nagging you about your sins…and most of all, they always smile back at you, you can almost hear them say “son you are now forgiven, go on, commit a new sin.’.

You see, it’s the ability to stand still, sit for years without neither even scratching their butts nor aligning their crotch. It is the ability to stand still when others need to lean on them, the ability to just listen and utter no sound at all, it is those abilities that touch those morons heart to devote their selves. More than a dog that might ran away, a snake that might bite you back, a friend that would not tolerate your sexual desire to your office mate. Those idols, would never forsake you, leave you, nor disregard you whenever you need to burst out all your hidden desires. At least, that’s what they think.
Rommel Bernardo was a devotee of the black Nazarene; he said in an interview that he joins his fellow bacchanals in their every year “yaw-yan” for the black Nazarene. He and his wife, owns a local carendira in their house and was not criminals. He was accused of being a snatcher, when, in-fact he is a real devotee. Luckily, someone had taken a video when he punch-right-in-your-face the real criminal. But was he really lucky? Was he really following Jesus? No matter how hard I think or watch the video, I can’t see any CHRIST-LIKENESS here. Sadly, they tell everyone that they follow the Christ yet they rushed toward the moron guy to take matters into their hands. Where’s the CHRIST-LIKENESS here? I mean, so we was a criminal, why can’t they just take to it a legal matter, drop animosity, let anger, hatred and rage soar throughout the sky and dissolve with the ever-changing clouds. Fury and disgust were cast all over the place. Rage was lit from everyone’s heart, where was CHRIST-LIKENESS in here? So he was a devotee, he punched the criminal for the sake of other? And him, being accused shouted what? That he was innocent? HYPOCRITE, he was just another Pharisee shape-shifting to a form of a loyal devotee, or maybe, those are the quality of a real devotee? And all i see, are people capable of hating each other, no love, no affection. just like what happened about 2000yrs ago, somewhere in Israel.
