The 20 percent atheists out there…

Nobody believes in nothing so everyone has a religion and is very religious. The question is who does people believe on or worst, what they believe on.

The issue is not that atheists do not believe in a living God, but that they believe on anything as their conveniently tailored, gods.
What this result on is the confrontation of selfishness versus love with the believers on anything on the side of selfishness because what they believe on must be oriented towards their own egos, their own gain, their own pleasure.
It is inconceivable to have a person without a living God, the one and only living God; to be capable of expressing true love because after all love is giving selflessly and without expecting anything in return.
Hate is not the opposite of love, selfishness is, as peace is not the opposite of war but just embracing the truth, the absolute truth and not something constructed to satisfy pride, ego or hedonism as mere relativism.
There is therefore not much to be understood about these people in the 20% of the equation and in fact, I would dare to suggest that it is much more than that because people nowadays tend to forget their creator to choose the path to hell because it appears to be more appealing to that suggested great majority.
The answer to this is not in statistics but in the hearts of each and every person, who needs to seek on his/her own for the truth. For the purpose, enough has been showed to us and we should be able to see the truth before us, from the bible, the Ten Commandments and from the teachings of Jesus, only Son of God made Man for our salvation, as recorded in the Gospel and the truth about the Sacraments.
The big problem of our days is that relativism wants to take over and while Christ asked us to deny ourselves, take our cross and follow Him, these new found 'sect' pretend us to deny the truth and our humanity while keep our selfishness going and throw our crosses to everyone but ourselves.
The real issue is therefore selfishness versus selflessness, absolute truth versus relativism, good versus evil, the confrontation that has gone on since the beginning.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
