practical atheism

it was cardinal tagle who coined the word - practical atheism. for him, this is one of the major hurdles in this year's cry for evangelization - this year is apparently called the year of faith. 

this is from here.

“There is atheism which they openly said that they don’t believe in God and there are also those who claim that they are faithful but live as if God doesn’t exist,” Tagle said. from here.

it is true. and this came up to my mind when i heard about the passing of RH Bill in both congress - pnoy even marked this urgent. a lot of personalities expressed their happiness over the event and i am quite saddened because i see them as people with high morality. well, i guess they have their own opinion which i (as a believer) should understand. they openly profess their faith but they decide as if God does not exist.

oh well, it's time heal the wounds of the broken hearted. at least we did our best to pray and made our presence felt to express our side. probably, god is steering the wheel. he probably uses this opportunity to test our faith - until when are you going to be faithful even the door to perdition is out there in the open. God is love. i can feel his love.
