I was gonna post this. Brilliant piece by John Oliver. He's filling the gap vacated by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

Mukhang mapera ang religion, ah. Mas maraming uto-uto dito sa Pinas. Lots of money to be made.

I dont look at it that way. If it makes the followers happy that their preacher gets his airplane and $$$ then good on them.

Wish it was me getting the free plane and money.

May pera ba ang relihiyon? Tao may pera pero relihiyon wala. Ginagamit ang relihiyon bilang pamamaraan para makakuha ng pera. Pero kung ako tatanungin mas maraming uto uto sa alak at sigarilyo. Alam naman natin na hindi maganda sa kalusugan pero bakit ba dami inu uto uto.

religion is big bizness

Tayo ka ng sarili mong relihiyon at maging tagapangasiwa. Limpak limpak na salapi ang hinaharap mo.

Walang pinagkaiba sa mga ibang samahan kung saan akala mo kaakibat mo sa paninindigan subalit pera lang pala habol sa iyo. Tawag ata dun ay "membership fee".

rascal101 alcohol and tobacco stimulates the pleasure center of the brain. Try living without foods that do not contain any type of processed sweetener (refined white or brown sugar, muscavado, fructose, high frucstose corn syrup, aspertaine, etc) and you'd notice a less "fuller" life.

It takes active will to get off it.

As for religion it could also give the same "high".

Again, wish I was the evangelist making the tax free cash and other assets.

Ang relihiyon po para sa akin ay hindi nagbibigay ng "high" gaya ng alak at sigarilyo.

Kung charismatic lang ako and magaling mag memorize ng Bible passages, I'd really start my own.

My children and my children's children will be set for life.

Let me repharase. Religious uplifts you.

Lookie lookie the IRS is being pressured to tax televangelsits.

If successful it may be enough to get people to lobby the BIR to do the same here.

Para sa akin ipinamumukha ng relihiyon na kailangan kong maging mapagkumbaba. Ito ay hindi "high" kundi "low". Ipamumukha ng relihiyon na tao lang ako at may hangganan ang lahat at ang bawat sandali ay mahalaga. Kung kayat wala akong panahon para magkaroon ng pakiramdam na "high".

naku, saan ka naman nakakita ng lider ng relihiyon na ganyan?
tanging si Kristo lang ang naglakad sa mundo na saplot lang sa katawan ang dala,
walang private army or bodyguards, nabuhay ng payak at hindi nagkasala....
so ganitong pamantayan, meron kayang tunay na relihiyon?

there is always right and true religion or church but there is no perfect religion/church, not until Christ second coming.

to me all religions are money makers, simple as that...

eh kahit naman ang diablo pwedeng magrecite ng bible...

Hindi ibig sabihin na minamasama mo relihiyon ay tama na sinasabi mo. Pero sa palagay ko marami pa rin naniniwala sa relihiyon at ito ang nagbibigay ng gabay sa kanila sa tamang pamumuhay. Hindi kaya ng isang tao mabuhay na parang isla. Kailangan natin ng kapwa upang mas maliwanagan tayo sa iba't ibang bagay.

tony · « **Reply #24 on:** Aug 25, 2015 at 06:07 PM »

minamasama ang relihiyon?, hindi siguro.... nagsabi lang ako ng totoo.., pero....
tama ka, opinion ko lang base sa 62 years of watching the world events that have unfolded...
pero sino nga kaya ang nagtayo ng relihiyon na hindi nagkamal ng salapi? meron ba?
hindi naman malaking issue, dahil lahat ng ipinundar nila sa lupa, mananatili sa lupa...
ang tao ay ipnanganganak, nabubuhay at sa takdang panahon ay namamatay...
walang mgakapagpapasinungaling sa katotohanan na ito...

Pero kung titingnan natin halos lahat majority ng world event simula sa panahon ni constatonople ay may kinlaman ang roman catholics - the number 1 highest money maker in the world imho.

totoo rin yan....kaya nga nilahat ko....

i am a catholic, but i acknowledge that our church committed atrocities and anomalies...
you name it, they probably did it.......

i am not a catholic because of our church, i am a catholic because of Jesus Christ....

It's true na kailangan natin ang kapwa. It doesn't follow though na kailangan natin ang religion para mamuhay ng matawasay at mapayapa kasama ng kapwa. Opposite pa nga eh. Yan ang point ni John Lennon.

GMRC na lang kasi dapat, wala nang relihiyon.

(It's both a joke and serious opinion)
