2020 was a shit year for Filipinos, but not necessarily because of COVID-19

2020 was a shit year for Filipinos, but not necessarily because of COVID-19

I find it interesting that Filipinos are so shocked about how 2020 was such a “shit” year. While it is true that the Philippines is one amongst the worst sufferers of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the country coped badly. After all, we are talking…

Battling COVID-19 is like battling the undead

Battling COVID-19 is like battling the undead

In the midst of the global crisis surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is worth considering that this “problem” may not actually go away anytime soon. People talk about how things will return to “normal” when the pandemic is “over”. But what if it does not go away? The COVID-19 is caused by the flu-like…

Why Jessica Zafra fails in her crude attempt to defend ‘LGBT rights’

Posted on February 22, 2016February 23, 2016 By benign0 54 Comments on Why Jessica Zafra fails in her crude attempt to defend ‘LGBT rights’
Why Jessica Zafra fails in her crude attempt to defend ‘LGBT rights’

Jessica Zafra, in her recent Interaksyon.com article Shut the f-ck up, idiots fails to elevate the debate. Sure, perhaps she might feel she is surrounded by idiots who hold supposedly bigoted views about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. However Zafra loses, because she had launched herself into an amusing tililing rampage against…

Homosexuality and Homophobia: In the end it is about Tolerance

Homosexuality and Homophobia: In the end it is about Tolerance

This morning I visited Get Real Post to check on how my readers responded to my recent article on the Pacquiao vs gay community fiasco. I was pleased to see that my piece has piqued so many interests from so many people. However, I may have touched a nerve amongst some of my pro-gay readers….

Karma may be a bitch but it is not an itch

Karma may be a bitch but it is not an itch

The trouble with the concept of karma is that it is a notion based on the assumption that nature owes humanity something. When we put faith in the notion that karma will catch up with someone who has wronged us, we hinge that faith on the belief that “justice” is some kind of natural order…

The origins of morality, the glue that binds human societies

The origins of morality, the glue that binds human societies

Jumping off from Hector Gamboa’s excellent piece Evolution-based Morality? Don’t Pick Up the Soap!, I thought I’d share my own readings on the controversial subject of the origins of morality. In his book The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, Jonathan Haidt makes a case for the way morality arose…

Evolution-based Morality? Don’t Pick Up the Soap!

Posted on April 9, 2015 By Hector Gamboa 12 Comments on Evolution-based Morality? Don’t Pick Up the Soap!
Evolution-based Morality? Don’t Pick Up the Soap!

So it appears that my last post has struck a nerve amongst a few readers, whom I suspect are atheists. That’s not really surprising as I have encountered so many atheists in the past who account morality to evolution. For these folks, at least the ones I have encountered, they do not subscribe to universal…

First Church of Atheism: Atheism will turn into just another religion if its adherents are not careful

First Church of Atheism: Atheism will turn into just another religion if its adherents are not careful

Atheism is becoming a religion and its prophet is Richard Dawkins. The fledgling Church of Dawkins is on track to follow the same evolutionary path trod by other organised religions. Originally, it is intellectuals that embrace the teachings (because they understand their true essence) of the prophet and went about to propagate said teachings. It…
