Times have changed.
People are different. Their value
system is updated. Their traditions are
new. Their customs are in accord with
the signs of the times. Their creed is
reasonable. Their thinking is
modern. Their feeling is novel. Their behavior is liberated. They are a distinct breed with innovative
options. They are free and independent,
unfettered or unshackled. They need a
new thinking mode, a new acting framework, a new church they will feel at ease
with, comfortable in, i.e. “at home” with.
This new church has to be not only updated but also “modern”
and “understanding” in particular. Any
old church is already irrelevant and wherefore ridiculous to take into serious
consideration.
This new church has to consider liberated human behavior and
new social relations. People should find
consolation from their church instead of censure and scourge, irrespective of
what they want and they do so.
This new church has to take into concrete and serious
account what has become the customary in the Philippines as the new normal
therein such as customary graft and corrupt practices, killing and stealing
unlimited and the like.
In order to give the people total freedom and unlimited
hope, self-determination and unbridled option, this “New, Modern and
Understanding Church” subscribes to and observes but three fundamental mandates
– in place of long since existing churches (religions, sects, movements) with
practically a thousand and one norms of do and don’t:
1st Mandate:
Do what you want.
There is wherefore but one instead of the standard Ten
Commandments.
2nd Mandate:
You have no neighbors.
You only have yourself to attend to, to love and care for.
3rd Mandate:
There are ten gods.
When there is but one, this becomes too busy to attend to
many.
There are certain matters worth taking into serious
account: Whoever puts up such a church
is assured of many members, specially from elected public officials. Whoever establishes the said church is
ascertained of abundant and continuous donations particularly from graft and
corruption practicioners, from cheats, thieves and murderers. Whoever comes up with such a church is likewise
assured of a distinct hot place in hell for all eternity.
Any self-assigned founder?
