Heavy Metals and Tomorrows
Whatever happens, if you have faith (we're not talking about "real" faith because faith is faith as in love is love, no such thing as "true" love) then whatever adversity may come you remain unperturbed. A few days from now and the country current most popular drama series "May Bukas Pa" is about to end and I'm about to end my career once I continue typing here.
Countdown to MBP fans to shoot me starts now.
For some point, MBP has this agenda to raise the Christianity flag on every boob tube in front of mostly Filipinos. It is a way to advertise, well, God, or as a trend started by this series called Bro.(Now, He is part of our brotherhood. Hmmm.. Somehow, makes sense... He is ONE OF US).
But something seems to be awkward and somehow I feel like I'm alone. I can't shake this feeling the series is not really doing any nice job in favor of Bro. Here are some reasons:
1. People don't need to be reminded that God (Bro) exists. If one is a true christian, we don't need anything (say, a Passion movie nor a Christianity-oriented TV show) to keep us in the position of a devoted.
2. They are creating a false image of Christ (Bro.. Do I really need to keep on saying this one? F*..). Wasn't that something against the commandments? Where is Moses when he needs to throw us tablets (yes, like Biogesic, you scum!)? On the other hand, I benefited with the artistic product of Mel Gibson with his overly-dramatic flick Passion of The Christ. But no, I will not spare any of these two. Really? Images likened to 'Them' (note, capitalized)?!
3. God is manipulated. Call your mother and tell her to stop praying because besides God, scriptwriters are listening to her!!! It's really odd that they manipulate God by doing this and that. The scriptwriters, OMG, they are the new gods!! They can control Bro!!! Watch out!! they might turn all our lives into their own "reality" shows!!
I'm not really that religious. But really, do we need a Bambi-eyed lad to flush his cheeks in front of us and advertise God? If you claim you are a devoted Christian, no. And if you do claim that you are a TRUE christian (I have to really put the word 'true' this time, you know why I did that), then click off your television and wtach Will and Grace instead. Or vote for Britney Spears on countdowns. Or just pray. Pray, you...
This morning, one section had their second confession this school year and I had to guide them for one hour. This lunatic student of mine who is at times very odd and awesomely weird (which is sometimes cool sometimes not) spent another elongated time debating with the priest because she claims she "wants to be monster" and that she "loves heavy metal rock". The priest disagreed with her listening to such music because he claims "it's the work of the devil". I smiled, not allowed to make any comment.
You know how it is, my dear people. Ride with me. We'll talk more about it.
To be continued...
(If no Santino fanatic would ambush me)
