Mahilig din ako sa orenj joohz.. At sa mengo at sa istroberii joohz.

Hmm, it’s because, orenj joohz is good. But yeah, how come bars don’t sell them? Aren’t they concerned of the health freaks partying? Dawg.

That is quite an assumption to make. The loss of God in my political philosophy? I’m rather surprised that a Catholic university such as UST has taken a hard line stance in this day and age – particularly that our history and society is so deeply entrenched in the actions of the past. While obviously you are a very religious man, I hardly think it is wise to mix God and politics. The adage “To Caesar what is Caesar and To Christ what is Christ’s” works both ways and for good reason. You furthermore make it sound as if the so-called one true and Catholic Church has monopoly over truth and morality but such is not the case. In our own country alone, the Catholic Church has much to answer for. Of course it is futile to argue at this point because this argument highlights our core beliefs regarding human life, political philosophy and even history. I would like to highlight again though that in regards to an issue – say Stem Cell research – while there are things that I may not agree on I definitely believe that the merits of the research deserve more than just dismissing it as immoral and contradictory to God’s will. This brings to the fore two divergent schools of thoughts – on one side, you claim it to be immoral, a mutilation of the human body – an act that is wholly unworthy in the eyes of God where as I would look and further develop such research under the belief that it aims to uplift and lessen the day to day suffering of our fellow human beings. Again I note that the research is dismissed on your part from the stand point of comfortable, intellectual debate. The truth of the matter is – many people are suffering and they need to be looked after and be helped – the more ungodly act would be to deny either the exploration of a solution or deny them wholesale the means to uplift their existence. Again you seem to claim to know the inner workings of God’s mind – I find that incredibly arrogant. Two thousand years of Church legalism and scholasticism has as much claim to Godly acts and purity as say the next man on the street. I would venture to say that those same two thousand years has shown more avarice and discord than acts of actual charity and goodness. What you have is faith but you cannot expect that to work in the political sphere where so many lives are at stake. You have a personal moral and religious compass – that is commendable. However you cannot expect that everyone shares your zeal in the matter and when questioned on the pros and cons of your view fall on the argument that such and such acts are against God’s will to cement your points. Moreover, such a standpoint when you strip it down to the bare essentials sounds little better than that of an extremist.

O great Jupiter! Lady Venus! I thank thee for granting wisdom to your polytheistic children, our ancestors.

In Zeus we live, In Zeus we move, In Zeus we have our living!

Namaste.
