Catholic Church has billions invested in BPI, Philex, San Miguel

[tokidoki]

Aw, mao lagi, chismis nalang atong istoryahan aneh.
I already presented the figures. You don't have any.

How could you say the Church is still richer than the Government given all those figures?

Hah? So nagpost2x ka diri wala diay ka nibasa sa first post? "Chismoso/a" nalang diay ang BPI ug ang PSE ani?

Bai, the gov't has a target because they have the projected expense, so if they fell short, the simple math will tell you negative na ang resulta ana (less than zero na).

Investments and assets bai are not losses, ang value ana sobra na sa target, kung tan-awn na nimo if the church has a budget of 1billion a year, the other 11billion is naturally, surplus. All those assets are no longer part of their expenses. And I believe you also know that. hahayz

And of course, we universally agree that religion is NOT a losing business. Kinsa man intawn moabli ug simbahan na walay kita? Ahem.

[tokidoki]

naa bako gi post diri nga nag ingon perfect ang simbahan wala jud kurakot? daghan man gani ko pari gikalagutan, pero it does'nt mean dili nako mo believe sama nimo.

ug mao na imong pagtuo nga affected ko ani imong thread nasayop ka. ang tinuod na amaze lang ko sa imong dakong kalagot sa simbahan.

Ooooh.... i doubt it bro. I really do. your actions and your words speak otherwise.

Nice take. Pero unfair pod imu compare nimo sila sa mga ruthless criminals nga imung ge mention. Yes. Wrong is wrong and the guilty will suffer and no one will get away with their crime. You think wala pod pahamtangig penalty sa Church leaders ang mga abusers? They have their own method of punishment inside the Church (who knows gilatigo sila sa mga Obispo) on top of what they are going to get in the next.. kana kung mutuo kag next life.
Mao bitaw nay giingon sa isa nato ka forumer ngari nga, ang kahitas-an nalang ang mag-igo ana nila. Ang mga pari nga corrupt dili exempted. Dili tanan nagbuhat ug binuang..

And just like we complain about politicians we have the right to complain about corrupt church leaders. However, like politics it is not always a happy ending. Diba a few years back naa man toi mga pari or pari lang sa talisay ba to na kapila na gi accuse ug abuse and yet he continues to be there or be a priest?

i think mao pud na ang usa ka punto diha. people here like to see the church as different from politicians but as we have learned recently, that is not the case.

Btw, to be clear, I am not comparing them to criminals, I am comparing them in terms of being guilty (regardless of gravity)

agnostics don't doubt pre, we leave the divine alone.

Agnosticism is the view that certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims—are unknown or unknowable. Sa case sa pari bai, they know so much about god, ikaw pre your parents have lived with you your entire life and yet I am sure they will never know you 100%. Same thing with God.

Oi! nganong gi-apil naman gud tawn nimo ang ASSET sa surplus?
Ang surplus kay sobra na imong expenses after sa imong gi-budget.

Assets are separate accountabilities.

Kanang 12 Billion worth of asset, dili intawn na nimo i-apil sa surplus oi..

Naay example asset sa Pilipinas ay, though dili updated:

Mineral reserves lang nato, perting dako-a na.
Mao bitaw nang nasuya ang ubang nasud kay Rich ni natural resources ang Pilipinas, pero daghan ug pobre.

chicka minnuteee!!!

LOL, couldn't resist, noh?

atheists have no god pre. Agnostic means I leave god to whatever he is. Dili na kai walang kasarian (again, wrong analysis).

Unlike ikaw na ikaw pag magbuot ug unsa ang ginoo. I do not attempt to describe him. I leave him be to be whatever he/she/it is.

Ikaw? Malipay ka kung moingon ko babae ka maskin lalaki ka? Or mo ingon ko ganahan ka maniudto maskin manihapon diay ka? That's what your belief intends to do bai, you put god in verbs, adjectives nouns or in short into words. I prefer to look at him as abstract. If tinuod bai ang ginoo is all powerful naa diay na sa akong control modecide para niya?

Sige, if ato nalang ibutang sa walang kasarian, diba dapat SIYA ANG MAGBUOT to fill in the blanks? Why me? Or more annoyingly, why YOU AND YOUR PRIEST?

nahh.. dili nalang nato taason ang istorya kay layo na sa topic.
sige, go on with your being agnostic.
