mikline, sabi nga ng dad ko, habang tumatanda, you realize more and more your own mortality.

kiper, yan ang common misconception about the Catholic church. "Do good to get to heaven." This is not true. To sum it up: "Do good so that others may see Christ living in you. Christ already paid for your ticket to heaven." The sad thing about it is, hindi lahat ng so-called Christians/Catholics ganyan ang ginagawa (tulad ng nakatabi mo sa simbahan). IMO, yung mga taong ganito, parang mga Pharisees na tinitira ni Christ dati. Nagpapakabanal, praying out loud in public places, holier-than-thou attitude, etc. pero deep down inside mas-bulok pa sila kaysa sa iba! Pare, sobrang dami talagang ganyan sa kahit anong simbahan mapuntahan mo (INC, El Shaddai, Roman-Catholic, Protestant).

Nakakalungkot isipin na yung mga taong ganito has caused you to become an atheist (my assumption based on your most recent post). Pero these people are not the true indication of what a true believer in Christ should be like.
