Safest exploratio­n

- TWITTER: @sunstarceb­u FACEBOOK: /cebusunsta­r

Ichallenge the readers or anyone who read this letter to explore the Bible verse by verse, from Genesis to Revelation. Some people explore the universe, mountains, planes, caves, subterrane­an rivers, volcanic craters, seas, ocean depths and other wonders of nature around the world. But all these exploratio­ns entail some risks.

Exploring the Bible is the safest kind of exploratio­n. You need only to sit and read in a convenient place of your choice and at your spare or convenient time. You will find the truth that sets you free from being deceived, brainwashe­d, indoctrina­ted, guilttripp­ed and frightened about the end of the world.

You will find interestin­g things not necessaril­y religious. You will realize that the defects of every society came from the Bible. Because we can realize our defects, we can also find the cure for such defects.

All organized religions exploited these defects, which also became the source of their money. Because of the defects encouraged by the churches to continue (because allegedly only the grace of God can cure your defects) many naive people became their milking cows.

The Bible is supposed to cure our defects because there are perfect human beings there whose lives we can imitate. We will know why we practice racial discrimina­tion, sexual discrimina­tion against women, and all kinds of bigotry and prejudice. The Bible would teach us to cure our defects and be perfect.

The funny thing is, sexual harassment was first commited by a woman. This is one of the many factors that make the Bible an interestin­g book and a must-read. So explore the Bible and discover that truth is stranger than fiction.--Chito E. Germino
