I Hate Jesus

kathy WHO?? griffins WHAAAT? before i got the email from my high school batchmate, the name Kathy Griffins doesn't even register a blip in my otherwise limited existence. You can guess that the person is probably not in the A-List of hollywood, not even close to B or C, probably more on the D-List, as in "Don't Know Her".

[QUOTE]At the Emmy awards, Kathy Griffin's acceptance speech said, "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."

She went on to say, "Suck it, Jesus. This is my God now!" referring to the Emmy. [UNQUOTE]

If she said something like this about the muslim prophet Mohammed, whole muslim nations would raise their arms and voices to condemn this and it won't be a surprise if she'd be targeted for assassination.

Fortunately for her, she's hundreds of years too late from the middle ages where her words will probably earn her a bonfire. I can imagine her rebonded hair crackling and the smell of burnt plastic as her face starts to melt. Nowadays, the only thing she gets is an email, a blog entry, censorship from media and millions of people offended by this insensitive act.

She was quoted to have issued a statement: "Am I the only Catholic left with a sense of humor?" - what utter nonsense.

For once, I hope that Christians all over will unite in boycotting ALL of her work. Let's see her pray to her god for redemption.

Luckily for me, am in a country where Kathy WHO?????? is an apt description for her.

the sign

"Lord, give me a sign..." no, i haven't fallen victim to overly melodramatic movie lines. on the other hand, i actually did use these words while attending mass last sunday (Redemptorist, Cebu City). you see, i have been increasingly dissatisfied with matters regarding the church but not necessarily my faith. to a point that i am debating whether i should even attend mass. i was asking myself if i wanted to attend mass given the fact that the church is getting more political. sure, i understand liberation theology and standing up for what is morally right. but that is exactly the same thing that has been bothering me, the moral thingy. the local church is proclaiming that the current administration has no moral leadership. i am not refuting that claim, on the other hand, the church could have said the same thing about itself. except that they rather not comment on anything when it comes to issues facing the institutional church. and there are tons of dirt, make that hun

a most unusual saint

Image
the title Black Magic Mary is enough to conjur images of a witch draped in black robes similar to that of the Virgin Mary albeit with a more sinister aura. in Sta. Maria Church in Siquijor, a saint wearing a black habit holds a skull in one hand and an "inverted cross" in another is fast gaining a reputation that is probably influenced by the mystic history of the island itself. locals have speculated that the skull is actually her husband's and that she murdered her husband for reasons that seems to have been lost in history. a bit of research show that the locals refer to the saint as Santa Rita de Siquijor, probably a Filipino convention where we name the Virgin Mary with annexes related to places (e.g. Our Lady of Guadalupe). my own research led me to discover this particular "myth" in an effort to know more about Santa Rita de Cascia who is the patron saint of a church and town named after her in Pampanga. The first thing that caught my attenti

cebuanas.com again

one of the most popular post in this blog is cebuanas.com . for some reason, when someone does a search on the web for "cebuanas.com scam" they end up in my website. i guess my write up about their special romance package caused such a ruckus that they took it out of their website. i felt like doing a sherlock holmes and decided to visit the site to pose as a customer. here's a snapshot of my interesting, grammatically challenged conversation with kai: that's not all, in the course of my "investigation" i stumbled across some literary gems of advice for the foreigner interested in looking for a wife: WHY FILIPINA SEEK A FOREIGN HUSBAND? Filipinas seek a foreign husband because… Filipinas seek foreign husband not just for MONEY, GREEN CARD or a citizenship. It is because they feel that foreigners can make a good husband and a partner. - but the MONEY, GREEN CARD and citizenship must be there as well. they feel that too. They want to marry a foreigner becaus
