Ah... thanks... :lol: ...that's exactly what I wanted to say.

For me, I'm an on-again, off-again Christian. On when I think of Christ, his works and words... Off when I think of what millions of people over the centuries have done with it.

Kaya nga, Christ is the only source that matters. Not the prophets, nor the kings, nor the imperfect and balimbing apostles who profitted from his death.

Isa ngang radical si Kristo. He tore down the old institutions of religion... to make it more right and just for the people. That's why I loved Pope John Paul II, even if he stood for some things I didn't like, he attempted to tear down the fossilized old strictures of the Catholic Church (as part of Vatican II) to make it more relevant to the world today.

Are we going to let the works of good men go to waste, simply in our blind worship of a book? Akala ko, Christian tayo, hindi Biblian?

Sige... I'm going out to buy more popcorn...
