Religion is debatable Respect is not

 

I am not an atheist, agnostic, a zealot I am simply human. Contrary to all thought, mine is ruled with one belief. I believe everything exist because it was there in existence before I was even made a concept by the universe I recently reside with.

I do not need religion to teach me about existence because it is a fact that there are people and culture before I was even here. For me religion and faith are two different belief that is open for debate and investigation for which I do not want to partake in. Respect however is common sense.

Many organizations here in the country specially in the depressed areas whose doing humanitarian aid are funded by religious organization spreading whichever truth they want. And many organization, which sadly I was once a part of, pretended to be humanist and secular where eventually I learned they are actually a group of combatant and were actually after the student's under my care.

Respect for one's ideology but it does not mean I cannot influence others to be critically informed of what they were made to believe.

Philippines is a Religion Driven Country. There are a lot of Christian denomination and they are the most active. The Catholics are being driven out. Islam is taking the divisiveness route. The freedom to think beyond what religion gives the young mind the possibility of what they can become.

In my class, I do not care which religion they belong to, because in our room we can be who ever we want to be. You can be the fairest or the darkest, the tallest, or whoever you want to be.

They are allowed to challenge my thoughts, we can discuss all the bible verses without fear of being ostracized, they can be open of their gender preferences and each is accepted who they want to be.

We are rainbows as any rainbows as can be.
