An interesting article. Quite heavy but interesting nonetheless.
FSJ versus the Pope
This one got me cracking! In response to the Pope’s slamming of the media, where he criticized the media “for selling products through obsessive advertising” while “resorting to vulgarity and violence,” Fake Steve Jobs issues this diatribe: Seriously? The Roman Catholic Church, sponsor of the Inquisition and weekly distributor of flesh and blood to millions worldwide,...
Not all are convinced by the "healer" priest
It’s comforting to know that there are a number of people are not convinced by Fr. Suarez’s antics. I was reading through Inquirer’s Vox Populi post, where some contributor reported on Fr. Suarez. Many of the comments revealed that people do not necessarily buy into the hype: If that priest healed thousand by laying his hands on them, why he does not have a big hospital where he...
Life 2.0
I remember some pseudo-intellectual of Manila Tonight argued that he would believe the non-existence of God if man can create life. His thought process? Only God can create life. He apparently thought that man couldn’t create life. I argued that he was selling mankind short and that if would be a matter of time before man could synthesize life. I know that the retard isn’t reading...
The "healing" priest
Fr. Fernando Suarez is all over the news lately. He has continued to claim and “demonstrate” his so-called miraculous healing power. Albeit there is the usual disclaimer, as mentioned by Philippine Star on its January 24 issue: You must be ready to be healed and you will only be healed if it is God’s will So can he really heal? Personally, I doubt it. I prefer to use...

Ben Stein is full of it...
I used to like this guy. Especially in that Ferris Bueller movie. Now I think he is full of crap. And here is why.

I’ve always found the TV series Ghost Hunters as ridiculous as ridiculous can be.
The breakup
As the song goes, it’s hard to do. So my advice is go cold turkey, kill all communication, never give up, never give in, never look back.
Girl: Miss you
Me: That's nice
Girl: When am I going to see you?
Me: How about Tuesday? Say 8:00 p.m.
Girl: Yes I am, but it's better on Monday or Wednesday.
Me: Wednesday is better for me. But I'd like it also if you could share a drink of wine with me.
Girl: Sure. Wednesday 8 pm then. Can we get a hotel room instead? I have something in mind.
Me: A hotel room was what I had in mind anyway.
Girl: Great! See you Wednesday then.
Me: What do you have planned anyway?
Girl: Basta! Bring the wine. Will take care of the rest.

On Intelligent Design →
Good article on Intelligent Design. Three proponents of Intelligent Design (ID) present their views of design in the natural world. Each view is immediately followed by a response from a proponent of evolution (EVO). Those who follow the ID movement will immediately recognize...
Here’s another ridiculous article from Inquirer: The Philippines faces a “challenging” year ahead, especially in the areas of politics and business, because of a confluence of negative elements in Chinese astrology, according to an influential feng shui master. In an interview, Taoist Rev. Fr. Wongsengtian said 2008—the year of the Earth Rat—would create political difficulties in the...
