Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
2 Corinthians 9:15 KJV

And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving
and the voice of them that make merry:
and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;
I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

Their children also shall be as aforetime,
and their congregation shall be established before me,
and I will punish all that oppress them.

Windows Se7en - The Redeemer

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:38:00 +0000

I recently installed Windows Se7en beta version on our HP Mini 1000 netbook and I am really satisfied with the performance. The HP Mini used to have the aging Windows XP SP3 but was corrupted after I installed Mozilla Thunderbird email software. Instead of me having trouble in preparing the Windows XP bootable USB drive from a Windows OEM CD copy, I have decided to try the Windows Se7en and boy I am glad in giving a try to the Windows Se7en beta version.

The performance of the HP Mini improved. The booting time and shutdown are also faster. (The installation only took around 30 minutes). Me and my wife were also surprised that the poor audio sound of the speaker (HP Mini 1000) improved compared to its previous state. It has now a bass sound. I'm currently figuring out on how to re-enable the mobile WWAN connection. I think I still have to download new drivers for the new Windows Se7en from the HP website.

I fell in-love with the new taskbar. Everyday, I use almost the same set of applications. Windows Explorer, Notepad++, E-Sword, Winamp (MP3), VLC(Movies), Windows Media Player(web streaming) and the Google Chrome (Internet browser). Using the new taskbar, you can pindown your daily-used applications for your ease of access. The taskbar is not cluttered anymore. Same window applications are "grouped" in their common application icon in the taskbar. The preview of the applications in the jump list is snappy and fast. (Learning the new taskbar may take sometime)

In watching the online web streaming www.UNTVWeb.com

I enjoy using the new Windows Media Player 12.

I am totally excited with the release of Windows Se7en this coming October. I think we can also expect some surprises from Microsoft for additional features of Windows Se7en when they formally release it. I hope the upgrade from Windows Vista will be smooth as inserting a USB drive or CD. (I am still using Windows Vista in my other DELL Studio XPS 1340 killer machine)

Now, only the blind Cult Mac fanatics will refuse to bow down to Windows Se7en.

Let the new generation of OS war begin.

I will bet my dime to the winning horse, Windows Se7en.

Note: releasing the Snow Leopard weeks before the Windows Se7en debut

will not help in catching up with the number of Windows users/lovers.

Apple may need a faster animal than Snow Leopard.

How about releasing an OS named Cheetah next time?

Erano Manalo Death

Philippine religious leader dies

MANILA - ERANO Manalo, the politically influential leader of a major Philippine Catholic sect,
has died aged 84, the group said on Tuesday.

Manalo, the executive minister of the two-million-strong Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ),
died of a heart attack on Monday, sect spokesman Bienvenido Santiago said in a radio announcement.

The Iglesia ni Cristo, founded by Erano's father in 1914,
instructs its members to vote as a bloc and thus is eagerly courted by politicians
seeking endorsement during presidential and other elections.

It also owns a television network as well as other businesses,
and the Manalos are regarded as among the most powerful families in modern Philippine history.

Iglesia and other indigenous Christian churches often clash with the teachings of the Roman Catholic church,
the main religion in the Philippines that counts over 80 per cent of the 92-million population as members.

Sect members believe that Felix Manalo, Erano's father, was the last messenger of God,
and that the Holy Trinity does not exist. -- AFP

Singapore Red Cross and Ang Dating Daan (Blood Donation)

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:51:00 +0000

10 REASONS TO DONATE BLOOD

• Blood transfusions save lives.

• There's no substitute for human blood.

• Every three seconds, someone needs a blood transfusion.

• About 60 percent of the population are eligible to donate blood, yet less than five percent do.

• A pint of blood, separated in to components, can help up to three people.

• You'll make your community a safer place.

• Fulfils your desire to "give back" to the community.

• You'll receive a mini physical (blood pressure, temperature, iron level).

• You'll learn your blood type.

• It's safe, simple and it saves lives.

Few reminders before you donate...

Include iron-rich foods in your diet.

An iron-rich diet can help keep hemoglobin levels within an acceptable range for donating.

Consistent, long-term consumption of meats, leafy greens and/or other iron-rich foods is the key.

Know where you’ve been and when.

In accordance with FDA regulations, donors may be deferred based on travel to areas exposed to vCJD (the human form of mad cow disease), malaria or other illnesses during specified time frames.

Know the medical conditions you have, and the medication you are taking.

For your safety and the safety of blood recipients, donors on certain medication may be deferred or required to wait before donating. High blood pressure medicines containing ACE inhibitors and insulin treatments for diabetes are among the unaccepted medications.

Drink 8-10 glasses of water.

Keep your body hydrated in preparation for a loss in body fluid.

Avoid coffee, alcohol or caffeinated beverages that dehydrate the body.

Get adequate rest.

Typically eight hours of sleep the night before your donation will make you feel rested and healthy.

DONATION PROCESS

• Prospective donors first complete a health history questionnaire and screening interview.

• The next step involves a brief physical examination of blood pressure, pulse, temperature and a test for anemia.

• If the prescribed medical requirements are met, a unit (about one pint) of blood is drawn from the donor. Afterwards, donors are served refreshments while remaining seated for 15 minutes.

• The entire process usually takes less than one hour.

Chris Cornell - Scar On The Sky

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:15:00 +0000

I love how Chris Cornell sings Scar On The Sky, very emotional and passionate. Which may lead you to forget about the lyrical content and just sing along with him. The first time I heard the song immediately caught my ear and heart. I knew there is something behind the lyrics so I decided deciphering the meaning of it.

The first point you can apply the song is in the point of view of Superman. Scar On The Sky may mean that Superman is planning to abandon the task of being a sky-patrol (leaving a scar on the sky) because he is tired of saving people with it's endless crime. He draws his strength from Lois Lane to give humanity another try (this may explain the first stanza, where Superman leaves a note to Lois Lane about his dilemma whether to continue saving people. The reply of Lois Lane to help Superman's personal problem can give another strength and will to the hero) The chorus can be applied to Superman and Lois Lane having a date on a night sky, flying over the city while holding hands or Superman holding Lois Lane in his arms. During those moments, Superman can draw another strength and will to fight evil people and give the humanity another chance by fighting evil folks.

The second point you can apply the song is to another flying creature, the wizard Howl (of the Anime movie HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE-you should watch it!!!). There are scenes in the movie that the wizard Howl transforms into a bird-like creature to interfere in a war probably driving away missiles or detonating missiles in the air that will harm people. Each time Howl transform into a bird makes it even harder for him to return back into human form. There are some scenes that shows that Howl is really really tired after returning back from a bird into human again. Howl's love to Sophie drives him to interfere in the war to save humans. In the latter part of the movie, Howl completely transform into a bird. Sophie helped Howl to transform back into human form with the help of the fire demon Calcifer. I think the song Scar On The Sky fits more to Howl than Superman. But the lyrics can be applied to both Superman and Howl.

The second stanza (the paragraph after the first chorus) can represent a secret hiding place for heroes whenever they are tired of their heroic tasks. It is a place where these super-strength creatures find solace and wishing to be saved or be helped with their personal problem. I mean, thousands of heroes have been created already but it seems antagonists for happy endings are always there. Even Superman and Spiderman gets tired.

In these hills they wash the gold and graves away
To the valley under all of this I lay
And the you dig me out un-earthed and saved

The third point you can apply the song Scar On the Sky is on our everyday heroes let's say our father. It's a reality that kids love and respect their father with the highest mark inside their comfortable home. It's also a reality that fathers sometimes receives disrespect from their boss at work. Which may include fathers being scolded by their stupid boss at work (You should watch a Wonder Year episode about this one). Fathers sometimes losses the will to continue because of depression and/or during recession-time or after losing a job. After these terrible things at work, the father may ask for a night-out with his wife (or with children) to drive away problems and at least enjoy a night and hoping that wonderful night will never end. After having a wonderful date with a wife and coming home to/with the children is a wonderful way of driving away negative feelings.

"We can rip the night out of the arms of the sun"

Scar On The Sky - Chris Cornell

As I fall I leave a scar upon the sky
A simple note for you I wait for your reply
And in your answer I'll regain my will to to try

So hover in the diving light
We will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
One More time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the crowded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run

In these hills they wash the gold and graves away
To the valley under all of this I lay
And there you dig me out un-earthed and saved

So hover in the diving light
We will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
One More time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the crowded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run

We can rip the night out od the arms of the sun

A blood red feather leaves a scar upon my hand
No longer stranded like a painted bird on a fan

So hover in the diving light
We will rip the nightOut of the arms of the sun
One More time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the crowded sky
And over the dumbstruck world we will run

We can rip the night out of the arms of the sun

theKube MP3 player

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:03:00 +0000

I got a red petite and cute theKube MP3 player and this gadget rocks! I was surprised by the quality of theKube turns out to be. Really nice. I am a long time fan of my Palm TX PDA. I used to play my MP3 files by placing it on my 2gb SD Card and placed it inside my PALM TX and use pocket tunes. But listening to the quality of the sound coming out from theKube MP3 player really surprised me.

It seems that there's a sound beast inside this small beautiful theKube MP3 player. The bass sound is really good. Another great thing is you can play MP3 while traveling by placing theKube in your palm. You can easily navigate thru the songs, control volume by using just your fingers. Really handy. Unlike if your using Palm TX or iPod or iPhone that you have to put it in your (pants, shirt, bag) pocket and pull it out if you like to skip on a particular song.

I strongly suggest to everyone on buying the Kube MP3 player. The sound is really great. The MP3 player is very small and cute. Really cheap(S$35 @ 7-11 stores). It comes with a 2gb mini SDCard and USB reader so you can easily transfer songs from your PC to the mini SDCard. It can also serve as your emergency temporary storage.

Please also take note that the free earphone sounds also nice. It does not emit loud music to your sit mate in the office. Not scandalous inside MRT. The charging time (thru USB) is also really fast, around 1 hour, I have tested it. Although the documentation claims that it can playback 6 hours, I haven't tried it yet that long, but I can attest that it has a long battery life.

If you need a cheap (and yet beautiful) gadget that needs to serve as a gift, give your love one a favor by buying them the Kube MP3 player, it's worth it. No worries of dropping your MP3 player in the floor anymore.

Bang A Drum

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:20:00 +0000

A cool song by Jon Bon Jovi
Sountrack of Young Guns II

I went to see the preacher
To teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled
Then the preacher turned away
He said if you want to tell him something
You ain't gotta fold your hands
Say it with your heart
Your soul and believe it
And I'd say amen

Bang a drum for the sinners
Bang a drum for the sins
Bang a drum for the losers
And those who win
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for yourself son
And a drum for me

I called upon my brother just the
Other day, he said: John I'm gonna
Die if I don't start to live again
I work each day and night like clockwork
Just trying to make ends meet
I could kick this bad world's ass
If I could just get on my feet

I'd bang a drum for the dying
Bang a drum for the truth
Bang a drum for the innocence
Lost in our youth
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for you brother
And a drum for me

I don't know where all the rivers run
I don't know how far, I don't know how come
But I'm gonna die believin'
Each step that I take
Ain't worth the ground that
I walk on
If we don't walk it our
Own way

No I don't claim to be a wiseman
A poet or a saint
I'm just another man who's searching
For a better way
But my heart beats loud as thunder
For the things that I believe
Sometimes I wanna run for cover
Sometimes I want to scream

Bang a drum for tomorrow
Bang a drum for the past
Bang a drum for the heros
That won't come back
Bang a drum for the promise
Bang a drum for the lies
Bang a drum for the lovers
And the tears they've cried
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
But as long as my heart keeps on bangin'
I got a reason to believe

The similarity of Arnold Clavio(GMA7) and Luchi Cruz-Valdes(ABS-CBN)

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:08:00 +0000

Arnold Clavio and Luchi Cruz-Valdes are both products of GMA 7 Network.

Arnold Clavio and Luchi Cruz-Valdes are both embarrassment to their fellow journalists(?).

Luchi Cruz-Valdes has been part of GMA’s Probe Team before she left in 2001 to join ABS-CBN (probably she have seen how the News and Current Affairs of GMA7 is deteriorating). Even broadcast journalist Cheche Lazaro had a problem with GMA7 Network. Cheche Lazaro and the Probe Team claimed that the GMA7 network was pressured on a certain topic about Pagcor. The Probe team had cut their 16-year tie with GMA7 network and decided to left the pathetic GMA7.

(GMA's conflict with Probe Team)
http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-144993.html

After moving to ABS-CBN Channel 2, Luchi Cruz-Valdes featured a malicious comics on her Special Assignment program. The malicious comics aimed to malign the personality of preacher Bro. Eli Soriano. The Special Assignment program of Luchi Cruz-Valdes based the episode on false witnesses of Iglesia Ni Cristo. The 'witnesses' presented by Luchi Cruz-Valdes are rejected members of Ang Dating Daan group and joined Iglesia Ni Cristo out of desperation. How can a journalist(?) like Luchi Cruz-Valdes will air a segment based on false witnesses and malicious comics? Are there any valid reason for it? I simply cannot understand it. What's the motive? For the greater good or for satisfying some evils? I'm just asking, by the way.

Luchi Cruz-Valdes, Unmasking that ABS-CBN’s Special Assignment
http://www.nowpublic.com/world/luchi-cruz-Valdes-unmasking-abs-cbn-s-special-assignment-0

Lo and Behold, here comes another GMA7 Network fanboy who come with the name of Arnold Clavio (sometime being associated with Sarah Balabagan). Occasionally, Arnold Clavio is being upstaged by his "better-half" puppet, Arn-Arn of Unang Hirit. I never grew fond of Unang Hirit after GMA7 decided to let go of Kuya Daniel Razon because of religious reason. Unang Hirit is an early morning program full of TV commercials. Everything on the Unang Hirit show are sponsored. No Public Service whatever. All Profits.

(If you haven't noticed, this is the second time in this article that GMA7 Network has been linked for being pressured by outside forces. 1-GMA network terminated the contract of PROBE TEAM after the Pagcor Controversy 2-GMA Network decided to let go Daniel Razon because of religious persecution)

Arnold Clavio featured Bro Eli Soriano on his segment Case Unclosed. The report was PURELY one-sided as it ONLY interviewed the accuser Daniel 'puto' Veridiano. The absence of the one being accused is highly questionable. Why are you going to air a court case that is currently being heard on a legal court? The legal department of GMA7 Network should have been reminded by SUB JUDICE. Why is that GMA7 network very hasty on airing that particular report? Why is that GMA 7 network asking Bro. Eli Soriano to discuss the merits of the case on a national tv that will lead him to be cited for contempt of court (sub judice)?

Trial by publicity?
The accusations of the accuser Daniel 'puto' Veridiano WAS ALREADY DISMISSED ON JANUARY 26, 2006 AS PENNED BY ALEXANDRO LOPEZ, ASSISTANT PROVINCIAL PROSECUTOR OF REGION III, SAN FERNANDO, PAMPANGA AND AS APPROVED BY JESUS Y. MANARANG, THE PROVINCIAL PROSECUTOR.

Strangely, RAUL GONZALEZ, SECRETARY OF JUSTICE, ON MARCH 21, 2006, DIRECTED REGIONAL STATE PROSECUTOR JESUS SIMBULAN TO ELEVATE THE RECORDS OF THE RAPE CASE TO HIS OFFICE, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

What's going on here? GMA7 and the PAGCOR Controversy and now, GMA7 is dancing with the Department of Justice? AFAIK, Felipe L. Gozon (current Chairman of the Board of GMA7) is a lawyer. How come he is allowing GMA7's (credibility?) be tarnished with these kind controversies? Man, respect should be earned over profits. GMA 7 Network, full of TV Commercials while losing respect from viewers?

GMA7 will appeal ruling of QC RTC regarding case against Luchi Cruz Valdes
http://telebisyon.net/balita/GMA7-will-appeal-ruling-of-QC-RTC-regarding-case-against-Luchi-CruzValdes/source/24904/

As Arnold Clavio and Luchi Cruz-Valdes shares the same (unfortunate) fate of being /was (respectively) employed by GMA7, it leads me to wonder why is the GMA 7 have produced these kind of tv (news) personalities? What kind of work culture is in GMA 7 that leads on producing these kind of wanna-be journalists? I HOPE that students of Mass Communications will learn to distinguish whose the REAL journalists and who are just puppets that reads what does the script tells them to speak.
Choose your role models.
Choose your TV Netwok, wisely.

Darwinism & Atheism: Richard Dawkins

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 08:24:00 +0000

Richard Dawkins is the current leading prophet of the Atheism gospel.
The Atheist faith that involves on believing the Darwinism doctrine.
Some Atheists do not believe Theory of Evolution while most of them hold it very dearly.
Atheists must embrace Darwinism to have at least have a pathetic argument
against the irrefutable Intelligent Design. Theory of Evolution is not an answer, it's a question.
I mean, until now, Darwinists can't even pin point a 100% proof evidence on
transitional forms or even the source of life.

"Evolution is a fact. It's a fact which is established as securely
As essentially any other fact that we have in science."
-- Richard Dawkins (interview in Expelled)

Not only once that Richard Dawkins preached out the Theory of Directed panspermia (life came from space)
to explain the origin of life. The fact is, Science cannot explained where life came from.
So they devised a theory that life may have seeded by aliens from outer space.
The theory that life came from primordial soup + lighting has already been abandoned
by scientists after the failure of the Miller–Urey experiment.

The books authored by Richard Dawkins are not actually scientific books
but more on a religious/philosophical books disguising as science.
I would rather believe in GREAT Scientists who choose to believe in Intelligent Design
rather on existence based on accident.
Richard Dawkins is on a war. War against religion, Christianity and God.

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction:
jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive,
bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal,
pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
-- Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion)

Obviously, Richard Dawkins has been subjective rather than being objective in the name of Science.
His claims on Darwinism actually contradicts the fossil evidences.
Scientific Hoaxes and Scientific mistakes has been all over the Theory of evolution.
Missing links are actually up to Scientists' imagination to support Darwinism.

Richard Dawkins will not accept other science aside from the science of evolution.
If evidences and theories will contradict evolution, he will not accept it.
If scientists will contradict Charles Darwin, they are not genuine scientists.
It's like putting people inside a small box.

"Intelligent design people are not genuine scientists."
-- Richard Dawkins (interview in Expelled)

"It is completely right to say That since the evidence for evolution
Is so absolutely, totally overwhelming.
Nobody who looks at it could possibly doubt that If they were sane and not stupid.
So the only remaining possibility is that they're ignorant,
And most people who don't believe in evolution are indeed ignorant."
-- Richard Dawkins (interview in Expelled)

So in short, in Richard Dawkins' point of view,
If you believe in Theory of Evolution, you're brilliant.
If you do not believe in Theory of Evolution, you're ignorant.

Hmmm.

Let's ask 2 great Scientists about their view about Atheism.

"Atheism is so senseless.
When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun
to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance."
-- Sir Isaac Newton

"Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors. "
-- Sir Isaac Newton

The fanatical atheists,
are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle.
They are creatures who--in their grudge against traditional religion as the 'opium of the masses'
cannot hear the music of the spheres.
-- Albert Einstein

What separates me from most so-called atheists is a feeling of utter humility
toward the unattainable secrets of the harmony of the cosmos
-- Albert Einstein

I do not like to ridicule Richard Dawkins and his Atheist followers
but I think it is worth mentioning the embarrassing answers of Dawkins about the origin of life.
His answers are like he would rather accept that life came from aliens but not God.

Please watch the documentary movie “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”.
It will show you how Darwinists are putting science in a small box we call Theory of Evolution.

Ben Stein: Then who did create the heavens and the earth?

Richard Dawkins: Why do you use the word "who?"
You see, you immediately beg the question by using the word "who."

Ben Stein: Then how did it get created?

Richard Dawkins: Well, um...By a very slow process.

Ben Stein: Well, how did it start?

Richard Dawkins: Nobody knows how it got started.
We know the kind of event that it must've been.
We know the sort of event that must've happened for the origin of life.

Ben Stein: what was that?

Richard Dawkins: It was the origin of the first self-replicating molecule.

Ben Stein: Right, and how did that happen?

Richard Dawkins: I've told you, we don't know.

Ben Stein: So you have no idea how it started?

Richard Dawkins: No, no. Nor has anybody.

Ben Stein: Nor has anyone else.
What do you think is the possibility That intelligent design
Might turn out to be The answer to some issues in genetics Or in evolution?

Richard Dawkins: It could come about in the following way.
It could be that at some earlier time,
Somewhere in the universe,
A civilization evolved
By probably some kind of Darwinian means
To a very, very high level of technology
And designed a form of life
That they seeded onto, perhaps, this planet.

Now, that is a possibility and an intriguing possibility,
And I suppose it's possible that you might find evidence for that.

If you look at the detail--
Details of biochemistry, molecular biology,

You might find a signature of some sort of designer.

Great Scientists are not Atheists
Atheism is a religion

Scientific Hoax: Piltdown Man
Scientific Mistake: Nebraska Man
Scientific Racism: Ota Benga
Scientific Fraud: Richard Dawkins

The Curious Case of Ota Benga

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:19:00 +0000

In The Name of Darwinism:
Piltdown Man is a classic case of a Scientific hoax
Nebraska Man is a classic case of s Scientific mistake
Let me introduce you a Scientific racism with Ota Benga.

Ota Benga was an African Pigmy, 23 years old, with Height, 4 feet 11 inches and of weight, 103 pounds.
He once lived in forests of Belgian Congo. He used to have 2 wives and 2 children but died on certain causes.
Ota Benga and other "primitive peoples" were put on display on a 1904 Saint Louis World Fair in USA.
He was sent to USA from Belgian Congo by an African explorer Samuel Verner.

After being displayed in 1904 Saint Louis World Fair, Ota Benga was sent to Bronx Zoo, New York City, 1906,
where he was caged along with a gorilla named Dinah, an orangutan named Dohung.
He was put in the world fair and eventually in the zoo to promote human evolution and Darwinism.
The exhibit attracted 40,000 visitors on weekends. People would poke, laugh and yell at Ota Benga
with their curiosity to the poor small guy. Imagine the feeling of visitors laughing and yelling
on a human being inside a monkey's cage, that would be unbearable even to this young man from the forest.

Protests were held by the black community which lead the Bronx Zoo to let go of Ota Benga.
Church-sponsored orphanage adopted Ota Benga and tried to put him in school and gave him a decent job.
Sadly, On March 20, 1916, at the age of 32, Ota Benga committed suicide with a stolen gun.
He was buried in an unmarked grave.

This is such cruel treatment of the evolutionists to a poor young "native" Ota Benga.
With their zealousness and being fanatic in Darwinism, they were able to forget human kindness
and put forward their animalistic treatment to Ota Benga.

Poor evolutionists.
Poor Darwinists.

Darwinism & Atheism: Nebraska Man

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 05:36:00 +0000

Darwinists / "Scientists" created the Piltdown Man scandal as a scientific hoax.
A hoax which aims to deceive many about the weakening Theory of Evolution.
The evidences of the Theory of Evolution are weak which forced some Darwin fanatics
to device a wicked plan to create a Skull of modern man + lower jawbone of an orangutan
to produce a scientific hoax. But this does not stop Darwinists
in forcing their faith about evolution. After the use of a jawbone of an orangutan, this time,
they used a tooth of a pig. Piltdown Man is over, now welcome the Nebraska Man.

A tooth was found by a rancher and geologist Harold Cook in 1917
and later he sent it to Henry Fairfield Osborn, a paleontologist and
the president of the American Museum of Natural History in 1922.
Henry Osborn identified it as an ape, and quickly published a paper identifying it as a new species,
which he named Hesperopithecus haroldcookii that means "ape of the western world".

The press quickly embraced the discovery of the tooth allegedly belonged to an ape-man and
published an illustration of a family of ape based on the tooth.
Amedee Forestier modeled the drawing on the proportions of
"Pithecanthropus" (now Homo erectus), the "Java ape-man", for the Illustrated London News.
It took 5 years for the Science communities to figure it out as a scientific mistake
after further excavations were done in 1925.

5 years to expose a scientific mistake is quite an improvement
compared to 40 years to expose the Piltdown man as a scientific hoax.
Although the scandal are more embarrassing because before,
the Piltdown man involves the jawbone of an orangutan but now,
the Nebraska man involves a tooth of a pig.

Yes, the scientific frauds about Theory of Evolution is truly evolving.
The mutation of the frauds and mistakes continually deceives many.
And the Natural selection of these evidences are becoming extinct
which can be explained by the growing aggressiveness of the Atheists
to defend their faith in Darwinism.

Darwinism & Atheism: Piltdown Man

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:16:00 +0000

Piltdown man is a hoax and forgery of some evolution fanatics.
Piltdown man is a hoax and forgery of some Darwin fans.

They can't convince others so they tried to convince themselves with their own foolishness.
How come that the Darwinian believers went so low in their beliefs
leading on creating a scientific hoax such as the Piltdown man just to prove their foolishness?

Piltdown Man = Skull of modern man + lower jawbone of an orangutan
(it took 40 years to discover it as a hoax!!! 40 years!!!)

1912 - Piltdown man was considered to be the "Missing link" between apes and humans
1916 - (August) Charles Dawson the man who "discovered" Piltdown man died
1938 - (July) a Memorial stone was made to commemorate the discovery of the Piltdown man
1953 - (November) The forgery exposed

If the evidences of the Theory of Evolution are enough,
If the evidences of the Theory of Evolution are really convincing,
why does Great Scientists do not believe the accident existence of human race?
Why does the Darwin loyal fans create such a scientific hoax to deceive many?

Why does Charles Darwin denied that he is an Atheist?
while Atheists keeps on holding on the evolution thing?

The scientific hoax of the Piltdown man is a proof that the Theory of Evolution is weak.
They cannot convince people with their ancestral ape evidences
so the loyal fans of Charles Darwin created a scientific hoax to DECEIVE many.

Still,
Atheists prefer to have faith on their ancestral apes.
If it took 40 years to expose scientific hoax such as the Piltdown man to support evolution,
is there other possibility that other hoaxes are still waiting to be exposed?

Time will only tell.

Atheists prefer to have faith on their ancestral apes.
Atheists prefer to have faith on aliens than God.
(You can ask Richard Dawkins about this one)

Great Scientists are not Atheists

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 23:21:00 +0000

Atheists are always trying to convey that they are more intellectual persons than people who believes in God. They will try to outsmart you with their small scientific evidences that are not yet proven which Scientists also do not believe as true. The example of which is the Big Bang Theory and Theory of Evolution which a blogpost I have written about. (Atheism is a Religion). These theories do not provide clear evidences that even great Scientists do not support.

Great Scientists believe in God. It's either they are Christians, Jew or belong to other religion, one thing is clear: They believe in God. Albert Einstein is not a Christian, he is an Agnostic. He believes in God "...who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists." He openly said that he is not an Atheist. In fact he is angry being associated with Atheists.

Atheists love defending their faith with the Theory of Evolution, they detest the Creation - the Science of Intelligent Design. Here's a news for you Atheists: Charles Darwin have said that he was never an Atheist but he's an Agnostic. His faith to Christianity faded away during his 40's specially when his favorite daughter Annie died. He stopped going to church at around 1849. Charles Darwin would usually go with his family to church but only until the gate of the church. His family would go to church while he do his walk on Sundays. Charles Darwin was devastated when his favorite daughter dies and started to think about death, afterlife and God.

(I argue here that Scientists' decision are sometimes affected by their own beliefs or some circumstances around their lives. Just like how Albert Einstein initially urged the USA to develop the atomic bomb thru nuclear fission to defeat the German Nazis, which Einstein later regretted it. --Einstein-Szilárd letter)

Charles Darwin (father of the Theory of Evolution myth)
--I do not consider Darwin a great scientist
--This is just a proof that even Darwin distance himself from senseless, fanatical Atheists

"never been an Atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God"
"I think that generally (and more and more as I grow older), but not always,
that an Agnostic would be a more correct description of my state of mind."

Agnostic
Adjective: agnostic
1. Of or pertaining to an agnostic or agnosticism
2. Uncertain of all claims to knowledge
Noun: agnostic
1. Someone who is doubtful or noncommittal about something
2. A person who claims that they cannot have true knowledge
about the existence of God (but does not deny that God might exist)

List of Great Scientists that are NOT Atheists

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher closely associated with the scientific revolution. His achievements include the first systematic studies of uniformly accelerated motion, improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism.

Famous Quotes:

In questions of science,
the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense,
reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

Blaise Pascal (June 19, 1623 – August 19, 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a civil servant. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the construction of mechanical calculators, the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defense of the scientific method.

Famous Quotes:

Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before
whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

Sir Isaac Newton (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727 was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian and one of the most influential men in human history. His Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, is considered to be the most influential book in the history of science, laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries.

Famous Quotes:

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion.

God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

It is the perfection of God's works that they are all done with the greatest simplicity.

He is the God of order and not of confusion.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God,
written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.

All my discoveries have been made in answer to prayer.

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets,
could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being.

Atheism is so senseless.
When I look at the solar system,
I see the earth at the right distance from the sun
to receive the proper amounts of heat and light.
This did not happen by chance.

Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
Can it be by accident that all birds beasts & men have their right side & left side
alike shaped (except in their bowels) & just two eyes & no more on either side the face &
just two ears on either side the head & a nose with two holes & no more between the eyes & one mouth under the nose & either two fore legs or two wings or two arms on the shoulders & two legs on the hips one on either side & no more? Whence arises this uniformity in all their outward shapes but from the counsel & contrivance of an Author? Whence is it that the eyes of all sorts of living creatures are transparent to the very bottom & the only transparent members in the body, having on the outside an hard transparent skin, & within transparent juices with a crystalline Lens in the middle & a pupil before the Lens all of them so truly shaped & fitted for vision, that no Artist can mend them? Did blind chance know that there was light & what was its refraction & fit the eyes of all creatures after the most curious manner to make use of it? These & such like considerations always have & ever will prevail with man kind to believe that there is a being who made all things & has all things in his power & who is therefore to be feared?

Sir William Mitchell Ramsay (March 15, 1851, Glasgow –April 20, 1939) was a Scottish archaeologist and New Testament scholar. He was the first Professor of Classical Archaeology at Oxford University and pioneered the study of antiquity in what is today western Turkey.

Fact: Considered to be one of the greatest archaeologists in history, Sir William Ramsay was initially skeptical and doubtful about the historical and geological references written by St. Luke in the book of Acts of the Bible. He went out to prove that what Luke have written in the book of Acts are inaccurate. After doing an extensive archaeological research work in Asia Minor (modern Turkey), he was convinced that Luke was a first rate/rank historian with the evidences he found out. He found out that Luke written the book of Acts with the smallest details (r.e.name of places, people and other details).

By the way, St. Luke is a Physician by profession

Sir William Ramsay wrote a lot of historical and archaeological books
about the evidences he found in his research.

He converted to Christianity later on.

Famous Quotes:

Luke is a historian of first rank; not merely are his statements of fact trustworthy...
this author should be placed along with the very greatest of historians.

I may fairly claim to have entered on this investigation without prejudice in favor of the conclusion which I shall now seek to justify to the reader. On the contrary, I began with a mind unfavorable to it...but more recently I found myself brought into contact with the Book of Acts as an authority for the topography, antiquities, and society of Asia Minor. It was gradually borne upon me that in various details the narrative showed marvelous truth. In fact, beginning with a fixed idea that the work was essentially a second century composition, and never relying on its evidence as trustworthy for first century conditions, I gradually came to find it a useful ally in some obscure and difficult investigation

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass–energy equivalence, expressed by the equation E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."

Einstein's many contributions to physics include:

Special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism

General theory of relativity, a new theory of gravitation which added the
principle of equivalence to the principle of relativity

Founding of relativistic cosmology with a cosmological constant

The first post-Newtonian expansions for the perihelion advance of mercury and frame-dragging

The deflection of light by gravity and gravitational lensing

An explanation for capillary action

The first fluctuation dissipation theorem which explained the Brownian movement of molecules

The photon theory and wave-particle duality from the thermodynamic properties of light

The quantum theory of atomic motion in solids

Zero point energy

The semiclassical version of the Schrodinger equation

Relations for atomic transition probabilities which predicted stimulated emission

The quantum theory of a monatomic gas which predicted Bose-Einstein condensation

The EPR paradox

A program for a unified field theory by the geometrization of physics.

Einstein published over 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works.
In 1999 Time magazine named him the "Person of the Century",
and according to Einstein biographer Don Howard,
"to the scientifically literate and the public at large, Einstein is synonymous with genius."

Albert Einstein's belief about religion/God is not really clear but he is definitely not an Atheist. In fact, he despises being associated with the Atheists. Although Einstein rejected a personal God, he believes in a God that reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists. He was a non-practicing Jew and received instructions in The Bible during childhood which he have mentioned in one of his interviews.

Famous Quotes:

Albert Einstein on God

“Do you believe in God? Stop. Prepaid reply fifty words.” Einstein replied,
“I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists,
not in a God who concerns himself with fates andactions of human beings.”

When Einstein was once asked to define God, he gave the following allegorical answer,
I’m not an atheist, and I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist.
We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages.
The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how.
It does not understand the languages in which they are written.
The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is.
That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.
We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws.
Our limited minds grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.

Albert Einstein on Jesus Christ

To what extent are you influenced by Christianity?
“As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud.
I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.”

Have you read Emil Ludwig’s book on Jesus?
“Emil Ludwig’s Jesus is too shallow. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrase mongers, however artful.
No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot! (a clever remark)”

You accept the historical existence of Jesus?
“Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus.
His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”

Albert Einstein on Atheism

There are people who say there is no God,
But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views.

The fanatical atheists,
are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle.
They are creatures who--in their grudge against traditional religion as the 'opium of the masses'
-- cannot hear the music of the spheres.

What separates me from most so-called atheists is a feeling of utter humility
toward the unattainable secrets of the harmony of the cosmos

Atheism is a religion

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 04:35:00 +0000

Atheism requires faith.

Atheism also requires a strong conviction.

Atheists deny that Atheism is a religion but it is clearly being displayed by Atheists
in different Religious forums that Atheism is indeed their religion.

Most of the Atheists believes that their existence was not based on Creation.
They strongly opposed it.

Christians have faith.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 KJV

Faith to things hoped for and the things that not seen.

Atheists also have faith.
Atheists also believe in things that are not seen.
Atheists also believe in things that are not yet scientifically proven.

Atheist's existence = Big Bang Theory + Theory Of Evolution

Missing Links in Theory of Evolution.

These links are yet to be found.
No Scientific evidences of their existence.
They believe that the link exists out there, it's just they cannot find them.
They treats Theory of Evolution as their doctrine of faith
in spite of growing number of scientists are abandoning the theory.

Also considering the great minds of the science community
DID NOT even believed that the humanity came from apes.
Sadly, Atheists are taking the Theory of Evolution really seriously.
To this, we can only pity them.

Missing Matter and Energy in Big Bang Theory.

There are still a lot of questions in the Big Bang Theory that needs to be answered.
But still, Atheists believe them and holds the theory as true.
A lot of things in the Big Bang Theory still needs scientific evidences.
Like the mystery of the Dark Matter and Dark Energy.

"Every textbook in the planet earth,
says that the universe is made out of atoms and sub-atomic particles.
Well, all those textbooks are wrong"
--theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku

Combined, Dark Matter and Dark Energy make up 96% of the universe.
(That's a VERY BIG percentage for something you don't have a scientific evidence)
The problem is, Atheists have faith about these things.
(96% of the Universe [r.e.bigbang theory] is not proven scientifically)

Science has do not directly proven the existence of Dark Matter.
They are still guessing about what the Dark Matter and Dark Energy really are.

By the way, they say that the Dark Matter is an invisible matter.

Like The Theory of Evolution,
Growing number of Scientists already abandoned the Big Bang theory
just like the well-known scientists that believe that there is a God.

If the scientific evidences about Big Bang Theory and Theory Of Evolution are really that great,
How come that there are scientists have religion and believes in God?

Yes, believing Theory of Evolution requires faith.
Faith about those missing links and missing answers about the evolution
(e.g. Missing links, how did life started on earth, etc, etc, etc...)

Yes, believing Big Bang Theory requires faith.
Faith about those unanswered questions and mysteries about the universe
(e.g. Dark Energy and Dark Matter)

These Atheists are just hiding in the surface of science books
which actually Scientists have already given up reading.

Being Atheist requires faith.

Faith that there is really no God.
Faith that these (unproven) science theories are actually true.
Faith that these (unproven) science theories can be proven someday.

Atheists keeps on asking questions to others without providing answers about their Atheism.
Instead of explaining what is Atheism is all about they are going to say that God is this, God is that.

Atheist Deny the existence of God.
and it appears to be that Atheists clearly denies the Creation
and they defend the Big Bang Theory and Theory of Evolution.

Being Atheist requires faith.

A faith to things that they cannot even explain to themselves so they are trying to convince others.

Your faith about Man evolving from Monkeys/Apes is really strong.
Faith involves hopes for things that are not seen.

Have you seen the real evolution occurred? No
Have you seen the real Big Bang occurred? No

But you still believe it.
Because you also have faith in things that are not scientifically proven.

You Choose.
Believe God or Not.
Believe you came from dust or monkey/ape.

If you believe that you came from dust and faith in Jesus Christ, you're a Christian.
If you believe that you came from monkey and deny God, you're an Atheist.

Being Atheist requires faith.

Being an Atheist does not make you more intelligent than others

Atheists and Agnostics

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:27:00 +0000

IMO, Atheists and Agnostics are really not that deep thinkers.
They maybe educated and graduated from universities but they cannot see the obvious logical reasoning.
They simply refuse to accept and think about the reality and just decided not to believe in anything.

Sometimes they are funny but that's it. That's all there is.
Just like The Simpsons creator Matt Groening.
Matt Groening is a well-known agnostic which is quite evident in some of The Simpsons episodes.

"but this book doesn't have any answers"
(while hastily turning pages of The Bible)
Homer Simpson - The Simpsons Movie

Christians are the usual targets of the Atheists and Agnostics.
They constantly visiting Christian blogs and websites hoping to grab those precious attention they want.
The hunger for attention sickness of the atheists/agnostics is evident.
They doesn't offer any clear answers but constantly mocks other religion.

Here are some questions Atheists/Agnostics that may need to answer.

Which is Which?
a. Creation
b. Evolution
c. We just existed instantly
d. OTHERS______(please specify)______
Where does your goodness comes from?
What is the difference of doing good and doing evil?

Your decisions are just based on instincts?

Carpe Diem (Seize The Day) for the atheists/agnostics?

Is there NO LIFE AFTER DEATH?

You will just die like a normal dog in the street?
(except for the flowers and black suits, IF anyone will care to attend your funeral)

Do you refuse to believe the historical evidences of the Bible?
Do you refuse to believe the archaeological evidences of the Bible?
Do you refuse to follow the wonderful commandments of the Bible?
-love your wife, honor you parents, love your enemy etc etc etc
Going to church every Sunday is a waste of time while going to the shopping mall / movies is not?

These are the questions that Atheists simply ignore and refuse to answer.
To all of them, these questions will just make their life complicated.
So in return, they will try to convince other people with their little wit and funny jokes.

To top all the attention-seeking movements of the atheists,
an atheist bus campaign was launched in the western part of the globe.

THERE'S PROBABLY NO GOD.
NOW STOP WORRYING AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE.

The slogan was posted in some buses running around the streets of UK.
It was initiated by no one else but by an atheist.
To all atheists out there, do you now feel more proud and pride of yourselves with these kind of movements?
Probably you are.
Probably you are holding up your head so high and feeling proud of yourself.
Probably you are laughing at people who believes in God and mock people with their beliefs.
Probably, there is really no God, yes, for atheists.

They simply refuse to accept the answer the religion is giving to them so they decided to walk out.
Try asking them about the answers and they will mock you in your face. A typical pathetic response.

No Life after Death?
No God? No Satan? No Heaven? No Hell?

"the greatest trick the devil ever pull
was to think that he never exist"

The Usual Suspects movie

to atheists:
Doing good and doing bad does not have any difference as along as you had fun in your life.
Atheists and Agnostics will simply die as a regular dog in the street
but at the moment before they die, they will feel and know that there is a God Almighty.
It's just way too late to repent for the wicked ways they have done.
It's just way too late when your heart is already covered with pride and lies.

No turning back.

To all Atheists and Agnostics:
By refusing the existence of God and continually mocking people
who believes in God is not a loss from us Christians. It's our gain.
You are fulfilling the scriptures that there will be fools that will deny God.
You are sanctifying us by your mockery.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 53:1 (KJV)

Pinoy Atheists

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:07:00 +0000

I have talked, discuss and even debated with some self-centered Atheistang Pinoy and believe me, papansin lang sila. Tinatawag din nila ang mga sarili nila na THINKING PINOYS. As if, naman na sila lang ang nagiisip. They are just people wanting to be different from others. Oo nga naman, karamihan ng mga pinoy ay may religion at naniniwala sa Dios, kapag hindi ka nga naman naniwala sa Dios, instant attention nga naman yun. Pa-kontra-bida effect, pa-others, parang EMO, or talagang Pinoy EMO na nga talaga sila. At kapag naiipit na sila sa mga dahilan nila in denying GOD, they will demand respect. Ay teka,teka, magpapatawa pala muna sila, tapos aasarin ka. Kapag na-realize nilang hindi ka mabilis maasar or bumabalik na sa kanila yung mga pang-aasar nila, tsaka sila hihingi ng respeto sa paniniwala. Kung kakausapin mo sila ng masinsinan at napansin nilang may point ka, they will simply walk away at sasabihin nonsense makipag-usap sayo. "I am more intelligent than you". Feeling of superiority from others. Pride.
Yes, may pride nga ang mga Pinoy EMOs este Pinoy Atheists.

You see, after nilang ipagmalaki ang paniniwala nila, pagkatuwaan ang mga naniniwala sa Dios at naiipit na sila sa takbo ng utak nila, tsaka sila hihingi ng respeto. Believe me, iyan po ang pattern ng usapan ng mga Christians at Atheistang Pinoy. Kahit mapa-saan man yang forum, Friendster or else, they will try to impress you first with their different way of thinking, carabao-english and then asking for respect of their beliefs. Emong-emo di ba

Filipino Freethinkers

Recently, to further elate themselves (because no one else will do),
Atheists are re-branding themselves as "FREETHINKERS".
Some of them also call themselves as Friendly Freethinkers.

Friendly Filipino Freethinkers (FFF) = 666
(F is the 6th word of the alphabet)
Friendly Filipino Freethinkers (FFF) = 666

Nah, coincidence lang yan, ano ka ba?!
Kapag ikinapit mo sa kanila yang FFF or 666
eh lalo pang magyayabang yang mga yan.
Sabi nila eh, sila ang kontra bida sa buhay natin.

Kailangan ba nila ng pansin? HINDI. (sayang oras mo)
Kailangan ba nila ng unawa? HINDI. (sarado isip nila)
AWA. AWA po ang kailangan ng mga Pinoy Atheists.

Philippine Atheists

Eh bakit ako nag-blog about sa mga nakaka-awang Pinoy Atheists?
Wala lang. Hindi na naman ako umaasa na ang mga atheistang makakabasa nito eh magbabago pa ng isip.
Hopeless na po sila, part yan ng pagiging EMO.
Lahat tayo mali, sila lang ang tama.
Hindi natin nauunawaan ang side nila.
Nagsisimula ang ganyang feeling during adolescence period ng mga kabataan.
Hindi nila alam kung saan sila pupunta.
Hindi nila alam kung an ang gagawin nila sa buhay.

Atheistang Pinoy

Kung ang mga Pinoy believers ay maypagkakatipon every sunday,
Meron din naman pagkakatipon ang mga Pinoy Atheist, Free Thinkers and Pinoy EMOs every Sunday.
Hindi nga lang sa simbahan ang gathering nila, allergic sila sa "simbahan".
May "DISCUSSION" sila every Sunday sa LUNETA (Rizal Park).
Discussion means pataasan ng ihi?
Discussion means MENTAL MASTURBATION?
Discussion means paano makahikayat pa ng gagaya sa kanila?
or baka naman
Discussion kung paano gagawa ng kabutihan sa kapuwa.
Discussion kung paano makisalamuha sa mga kapwa Pinoy na naniniwala sa Dios.

Sana nga ganun.

Kakaunti lang naman ang mga Pinoy Atheists, este Freethinkers pala, este Pinoy EMOs pala.
Kukunti lang silang naniniwala masyado sa sarili nila eh.
Tinanong ko dati yung mga nakausap ko,
Willing ba kayong ituro sa mga anak ninyo ang paniniwalang Atheista?
Anong klaseng values ang ituturo ninyo sa mga anak ninyo?
Willing ba kayong i-share sa mga kabataan at ilayo sa Dios ang mga kabataan?
Anong klaseng sosyodad ang handa ninyong i-offer sa mga kababayan ninyo?
Sosyodad na hindi naniniwala sa Dios?

Wala ka namang kabutihang mapapala sa pagiging atheista eh. Takbo ng buhay mo wala. Baka nga mayaman ka, baka nga may maganda kang trabaho pero after that wala na. Ang pagtulong sa kapwa tao ng mga atheista is pakitang tao lang, plastic. Bakit? Kung wala ngang Dios, ano ngayon ang difference ng paggawa ng mabuti sa paggawa ng masama? Kung mamamatay kang isang atheista na magnanakaw, pumapatay ng tao, o rapist, may difference ba?

Kung mamamatay kang isang atheista na feeling proud sa sarili?
There's no difference, walang LIFE AFTER DEATH eh.
Logic lang naman ang kailangan eh, which is sad to say na wala ang mga atheista.

With the slow rise of Scientology wannabes, Atheists are endangered species.
Actually, habang kumakaunti sila, lalong lalaki ulo ng mga yan. Feeling elite.
Pa-others lang talaga. Feeling important. Feeling genio.

The Big Bang Theory + Theory of Evolution = Existence of Atheists?

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor ones.

Philippines, a gambling republic?

Slowly, Filipinos are being sucked in the vacuum of being a gambling republic.
Middle Class is a vanishing race in Philippine society.
The margin between the rich and poor is widening.

High Class
Middle Class (soon to be extinct)
Low Class
Very Low Class

During hard times, people tends to go for easy money.
Gambling maybe the quick answer to their needs of money.
Gambling is for everyone.
Gambling is for all walks of life in the Philippines.

In the privilege speech of Sen Jinggoy Estrada (March 7, 2007), he revealed that slot machines are slowly being deployed in almost all major cities of the country. Strategically, slot machines are being placed in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Not only that the Government owns these slot machines, PAGCOR is also entering agreements with the contractors on running the slot machine with the 60-40 share of the profit. This is in addition to all existing small and big-time (illegal) Jueteng operations in the baranggay and barrios of the Philippine archipelago.

Casino = for rich ones
Lotto = for the masses
Bingo = (Catholic) church goers
Jueteng = for poor and very poor ones

Ang kapansin-pansin na kaibahan ng Jueteng sa Casino, Lotto at Bingo eh, tinuturing pa ring illegal ang Jueteng. Nakakatulong daw sa mga naghihirap nating kababayan ang kinikita ng gobyerno sa Casino at Lotto. Habang ang BINGO naman eh ginagamit ng simbahang katoliko sa fund-raising or any charitable cause na naiisip nila. Ang sugal ay sugal. Kahit naman ang mga magnanakaw eh, gumagawa sila ng masama para may maipakain sa pamilya nila. With that kind of logic, you cannot justify legalizing gambling.

Bakit ba hindi gawing legal ang Jueteng eh, natutulungan din naman nito ang mga KUBRADOR?
Bakit ba hindi gawing legal ang Prostitution eh, natutulungan din naman nito ang mga pokpok?

Sabi ng ilan, gawing legal na lang daw ang Jueteng kasi hindi mapigil eh.
Is this enough reason to legalize Jueteng?

Bakit ba hindi gawing legal ang Prostitution eh, hindi din mapigilan eh?
Bakit ba hindi gawing legal ang drugs (cocaine,marijuana) eh, hindi din mapigilan eh?
Bakit ba hindi gawing legal ang graft and corruption eh, hindi din mapigilan eh?

Gambling Nuns @ Pagcor

The message is clear: Gambling, Prostitution, (prohibited)Drugs, Graft & Corruption are really affecting our democratic(?) society. Politicians, from the President up to Barangay Kagawads are being linked to the "illegal" Jueteng operations. Even the catholic priests are receiving payout from these gambling lords (--Archbishop Gaudencio Rosales-CBCP). Fidel Ramos (which I used to admire) had a number of government controversies but he got away with it. And, GMA had even greater number of anomalies and controversies and it appears that she will also get away with it. But not PRESIDENT Joseph "Erap" Estrada. Erap was not jailed for using public funds. Erap was accused of receiving Jueteng money. The accuser? The Governor Luis "Chavit" Singson. Is Chavit a Hero of Edsa 2, or a friend who betrayed his friend over a gambling deal? You choose.

(Noong mawala sa pwesto si PRESIDENT Erap, yung expectations na mawawala or mababawasan man lang ang Jueteng is hindi po natupad. Bagkus pa eh, lumalakas pa. Kung may lagayan sa jueteng na naganap during ERAP administration, saan na re-direct ang lagayan ng Jueteng during GMA administration? Huwag mo naman sabihin na tumigil ang lagayan ng Jueteng?) Recently, Gov. Among Palilio had cried-out about the son(congressman) of GMA is protecting the gambling lords/operation in Pampanga. There might be an ounce of truth about his claims. If indeed the political family of Arroyo clan is really serious in erradicating (illegal) Jueteng operations in the whole country or at least in their hometown Pampanga, it is very simple to deploy the needed force considering the power of the president has. But no, we haven't heard any decisive directions from the President to erradicate the Jueteng operations or at least put the gambling lords in to jail. No political will.

The advocacy to fight evil is hard when you are surrounded by the phalanx of it. But this should not stop us from doing good. Kahit pa puro masasama sila eh kung gumagawa ka naman ng mabuti di ba. Ang mahalaga, gawin mo ang mabuti. Labanan ang sugal, labanan ang lagayan. Huwag tayong pagpahawa sa lumalaganap na sistema ng corruption sa ating gobyerno. Layuan ang mga masasamang kasama na maghahatid sayo sa kapahamakan. Kung ang mga politiko ay nangangailangan ng political will, tayo namang may mga pagnanasang gumagawa ng mabuti ay nangangailangan din naman ng strong will. Political will + Strong will = If there's a will, there's a way

A filipino movie was created circulating about a life of a Jueteng bet-collector (KUBRADOR) starring Gina Pareno.
The film was good and received numerous awards outside the Philippines.
The story revolves around in a squatter area of Metro Manila.
A bet-collector or Kubrador collects bet around the neighborhood as her way of living.

Spiral Starecase - More Today Than Yesterday

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 14:02:00 +0000

Life is short. Why would you spend it complaining and feeling bad toward others or even feeling bad about yourself? Why not be thankful everyday and try to do better things in your life. Do your best helping others and loving people. Be Thankful to God. Be thankful for every day that is given to us for an opportunity to do good. Frowning for your problems will not help you in any case. Negative thinking will bring you down. Look at the bright side of life. Take one day at a time. Treasure everyday more than ever, more than yesterday.

One man esteemeth one day above another:
another esteemeth every day alike.
Let each man be fully assured in his own mind
Romans 14:15 (KJV)

The first time I heard the song "More Today Than Yesterday" was on Ally Mcbeal. Richard Fish sings "More Today Than Yesterday" on their favorite club which features Vonda Shepard (Ally Mcbeal Season 1, episode 11 [Silver Bells]). I found it cool how Richard Fish sings the song and how the crowd reacted and sings along with it.

The movie The Water Boy which features Adam Sandler is about a water boy who incidentally played as a college football player. It's a very funny movie. The movie also includes the song "More Today Than Yesterday" covered by Goldfinger. The cover song version has quite a modern touch and a louder sound.

And of course, so far, nothing beats the original song of "More Today Than Yesterday" by Spiral Starecase. Simple and the drumbeat is energetic with a touch of classic. It is also worth mentioning that the song was created in 1970 but it's still gets a regular playtime in parties, variety shows and different happy occasions. (The vocals sounds like a chick but he's a dude). The lyrics is really cool. It's about falling in love more and more as time passes by. Appreciating everything around us as days passes by.

More Today Than Yesterday
Spiral Stare case

I don't remember what day it was,
I didn't notice what time it was,
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you!

Every days a new day in love with you,
With each day comes a new way
Of loving you,
Every time I kiss your lips
My mind starts to wander.
And if all my dreams come true,
I'll be spending time with you!

(chorus)
I love you more today than yesterday,
But not as much as tomorrow!
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday,
But, darling not as much as tomorrow!

Tomorrow may see spring time just a day away,
(day away)
Cupid we don't need you now be on your way,
(on your way)
Thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger,
And if all my dreams come true,
I'll be spending time with you!

Chorus

Every day's a new day, Every time I love ya!
Every way's a new way, Every time I love ya!
(every day)
Every day's a new day,
(every day)
Every time I love ya!
(every day)
Every way's a new way,
(every day)
Every time I love ya!
Every time I love ya!
(every day)
(every day)
Every time I love ya!
(every day)
(every day)
Every time I love ya!

Rizal Underground - Bilanggo

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 22:02:00 +0000

I love the sound of Rizal Undeground (Sabado Nights), the Villegas twins (Mike and Angelo) are cool. There are two versions of Bilango, One is the rock version and the 2nd is the acoustic version. Both of the versions are cool but I prefer the acoustic version, it's more heartfelt. Parang bigay na bigay yung kumakanta sa acoustic version. Yung hagod ng boses niya, rinig na rinig, I love it. Palagay ko there's no need to explain the lyrics because it's really deep as a knife in the heart. Kahit patalim ay madadaig. And of course, obviously, the guitar riffs are really awesome.

Bilanggo

Bilanggo, sa rehas na gawa ng puso mo
Bilanggo sa gapos na gawa ng pag-isip sa yo
Hanggang kailan pa ba magdaramdam?
Hanggang kailan pa ba masasaktan?
Pag-isip sa yo, maging sa ganito at ganyan

Hanggang kailan ka bang maghihintay?
Hindi ka ba nagsasawa inday?
Ang damdamin ko, kahit ganito katamlay
Tunay 'to 'bay

Bilanggo, sa rehas na gawa ng uso mo
Bilanggo, sa gapos na gawa ng pag-isip sa yo
Bilanggo, sa rehas na gawa ng uso mo, hmmm
Bilanggo, sa gapos na gawa ng pag-isip sa yo

Patay sindi sa init at lamig
Maging ang patalim madadaig
Galos sa dibdib tattoo ng yong mukha sa balat

Nakailang ulit na hiwalay
Hindi pa rin matutong sumabay
Ang damdamin ko
Kahit ganito katamlay
Saka ng babay

Bilanggo, sa rehas na gawa ng puso mo
Bilanggo sa gapos na gawa ng pag-isip sa yo
Bilanggo, sa rehas na gawa ng puso mo
Bilanggo sa gapos na gawa ng pag-isip sa yo

Father and Sons - Sigaw Ng Puso

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 19:27:00 +0000

Una kong narinig itong song na ito sa isa sa mga love song stations sa Pinas.
I immediately knew that it was from Father and Sons dahil sa boses.
Father and Sons din ang kumanta ng "Miss na Miss Kita"...

Chorus:
O giliw ko, miss na miss kita
Sana'y lagi kitang kasama
O giliw ko, miss na miss kita
Gusto ko sana mayakap ka

Ok. I (and you) have to admit that "Miss na Miss Kita" is medyo jolog, medyo corny. Masyadong mababaw ang lyrics at ang melody eh walang ka-kwenta-kwenta. Very catchy ang melody. Pero itong kantang "Sigaw ng Puso" is iba. Iba ang tama. Yung beat pa lang ng drum ng kanta, napapa air-drum nako (humahataw ng drums na wala namang drums). Ang galing ng drum beat. Actually, tingin ko, yung drum beat ang nagdala ng impact ng message ng kanta. Tapos yung boses ng vocalist is very simple, ang sarap makikanta sa kanya. Specially dun sa last part ng kanta (time-04:11) where the climax of the song is already at it's highest level to the max. Grabe! Ang ganda ng kantang ito. Klassik!

The message of the song really fits for a wedding song.

Do I need to say more about the lyrics?!
Nagsimula ang 1st stanza sa pagbibigay ng assurance na siya ay naniniwala sa kanyang minamahal. Naniniwala siya na tunay ang pagibig sa kanya ng kanyang minamahal. Sa 2nd stanza naman and the rest of the song, siya naman ang nagbigay ng pangako sa kanyang minamahal na to the point na handa niyang kalimutan ang anumang nakaraan ng minamahal niya, handa niyang ipaglaban ang pagmamahalan nila at handa niyang hindi pakinggan ang sinomang tao na hahadlang sa kanilang pagmamahalan. Well, wala ka na talagang magagawa kapag sumisigaw na ang puso mo kundi sumunod na lang.
Pakinggan ang Sigaw ng Puso ko!!!

Sigaw Ng Puso
Father & Sons

I
Mahal tandaan mo, lahat ng sasabihin ko
Naniniwala ako, na tunay ang pag-ibig mo
Huwag lang pansinin, ang nasa paligid mo
Isipin mong ika'y minamahal ko

II
Pangako sa iyo, hinding-hindi magbabago
Mahal iwaksi mo, pangamba sa puso mo
Walang mahalaga, kundi ikaw lamang giliw
Tanging ikaw lamang ang buhay ko

CHORUS:
Kahit ano pa ang nakaraan mo
Walang sinuman makapagbabago
Tapat ang pagmamahal ko
Sayo giliw ko

Kahit ano pa ang sabihin nila
Hindi ito hadlang sa hangarin ko
Wagas na pag-ibig
Sigaw ng puso ko

III
Pag-ibig ko sa'yoy, ipaglalaban ko
Hindi mahalaga, magdusa man ako
Ang tanging pangarap ko
Ay ang pag-ibig mo giliw
Ikaw lagi ang sigaw ng puso ko

Bon Jovi - Without Love

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:51:00 +0000

What Can I Say? Without Love is one of the most underrated song by Bon Jovi on their album Slippery When Wet. The song was overshadowed by their other giant hits from the album such as "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer", "Wanted Dead or Alive" and "Never Say Goodbye". Without Love is one of my favorite Bon Jovi songs. And yes, music from 1980's rocks!!!

The song tells about the importance of love in our lives. You feel empty without love. In the first stanza, I'm assuming that the girl which is "not young, but still a child" was a prostitute in the street that said "I been through some changes, But one thing always stays the same...there's nothing without love". While in the second stanza, I'm also assuming that it is a bum or someone who made a big mistake in his life walking in the street that said "I been through some changes, But one thing always stays the same...there's nothing without love".

The bridge of the song tells how he(the singer) realised how he ignored or took for granted the love that was given to him. He realised how love is important to all of us. (This is after a prostitute and a bum in the street told him that there is nothing without love.) Previously, he was scared on showing his feelings or returning love to others but he already realised that there's nothing to be afraid of. We need to love each other in order survive in our lives.

What is riches without love?
What is faith without love?
What is life without love?
There is nothing without love.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
1 Corinthians 13:1

And if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but have not love,
I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:2

If I give away all I have,
and if I deliver my body to be burned,
but have not love,
I gain nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:3

Bon Jovi - Without Love

She wasn't young, but still a child
There still was innocence
In painted smiles
She called to me as I passed her by
Lady of the night looked in my eyes
She said: I been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same

Without love, there's nothing without love
Nothing else can get through the night
Nothing else feels right without love

I saw a man down on lonely street
A broken man who looked like me
And no one knows the pain that he's been living
He lost his love and still hasn't forgiven
He said: I've been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same

Without love, there's nothing without love
Nothing else can get you through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love

I see my life
There's some things I took for granted
Love's passed me by
So many second chances
I was afraid
But I won't be afraid no more

Without love, there's nothing without love
Nothing else can get you through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love

The Association - Cherish

noreply@blogger.com (josepherdon) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 04:42:00 +0000

When I'm still living with my parents, we always tune in our radio every Sunday Morning to the FM Radio station that plays those Good Oldies Song (60's-70's). I have heard the song CHERISH by The Association on the radio before but it didn't hit me that much until I watched The Simpsons episode (The Simpsons Season 20 episode 06 - Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words) about Lisa being addicted to crossword. Lisa Simpson joined a crossword contest.

Homer Simpson, being bored with the contest, decided to join some other guys on betting who will gonna win the crossword contest. Lisa Simpson lost the contest. She found out that her father bet against her so Homer won some cash while Lisa felt sad on lossing the contest. Homer Simson and Lisa Simpson had a quarrel - just like a normal father and daughter little fight.
When Lisa Simpson finally forgave her father and reconciled with Homer Simpson, CHERISH played along as the background music while Homer gave Lisa Simson a piggy-back ride and the father and daughter started playing again. Such a touching episode

Cherish
The Association

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours

Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are drivin' me out of my mind

Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize
That I want you just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you With all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

And I do... cherish you
And I do... cherish you

Cherish is the word
