coz people now are better informed

people no longer have to rely on myths and superstitions for answers. baket masama pakiramdam ko? kasi nakatapak ako ng dwende?

people now are less religious coz scientific explanations make more sense than myths and superstitions

There's no harm in believing and drawing inspiration from it.

You just have to keep a close and faithful (not fateful) tab of your share of 99.9% (perspiration).

Not the other way around.

mahirap maki pag argue sa mga bulag at nag bubulag-bulagan no matter what you say or do iisa lang ang tama sa kanila at yon ay ang religion nila. kaya i won't even waste time trying to argue with religious people.

^ di naman lahat, usually yung mga hardcore na religous people atsaka yung mga masydong na brainwash at sarado ang pagiisip. example is yung isang culto dito sa atin.
sa US at Europe talaga dumadami ang mga atheist, yung binibisita ko na US forum pagdating sa religion thread kawawa yung mga christiano na nakikipagtalo sa sobra dami ng atheists dun.
Dito sa pinas malamang ganun din ang mangyayari, tingin ko malaking bagay ang nadulot ng paglaganap ng internet sa mga paniniwala ng mga tao.

Kaya minsan yung mga tao galit sa internet kasi dahil dun na-ddodge at nacocounter yung mga paniniwala nila since contraception, and they really feel bad about that.

Gusto nila, since pinaniwalaan nila for decades, dapat paniwalaan na rin ng iba kasi nga iyon ang "totoo" dahil mas "nakakatanda" na umano sila.

phase lang yan i tell you. it's like when the Pacman is rising, lahat boto sa kanya. and when sobra sikat na siya, dami na ayaw sa kanya, ridiculing him etc. I have seen the same behavior in Apple. for the past years since the introduction of the iphone, sobra lahat ng tao gusto ma-allign with Apple products, some say Steve Jobs is like Jesus Christ sa kasikatan. eh ngaun, kung anu-ano paninira sa Ipad3 na kesyo mainit daw etc. etc. tapos gusto alamin ng mga tao kung ano condition ng mga Chinese workers in Foxconn factories

madali kasi magsawa mga tao at the same time they think it's cool kung ano yun bago. the problem nga lang you can't do that in matters of the faith, kasi what does that say to you? madali ka ma-sway, herd mentality. the atheist culture is again gaining strength as what happened in the time of 60's and 70's, yun time ng gypsies and volkswagen van and the beatles. people that time were anarchists/atheists etc. etc. bec. most of their parents/elders came from the post-war era na super strict. and then what happened after, inubos sila lahat ng AIDS virus. Fate has a way of getting back if things get out of control.

so if I were you, if you're saying na naging atheist ka lang ngaun kasi internet boom ngaun, huwad ang pagka-atheist bec. may catalyst. a true atheist is one who experienced so much in life worthy enough to withdraw himself from God. hindi yun basa-basa lang.
