Bishops score ‘ban God bill’ | GMA News Online | The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere

House Bill (HB 6330) or the Religious Freedom in Government Offices Act seeks to ban religious ceremonies in Government Offices.

Do you agree with this bill? Do you agree with this proposed law? yes or no?

I agree..most definitely.

Mainly because Religios Freedom also entails Religious Equality.

So if in a government office the Roman Catholics will be allowed to celebrate Mass. Then by virtue of Religious Equality, the Muslim must also be allowed to pray there. And likewise the Buddhist must be allowed to have a monument to Buddha set up.. and so on.

If there is no equality, then it would be better to even out the field and ban any and all religious ceremonies..for equality sake.

"Ban God Bill" is the most stupid proposed Act ever made!
Wala na sigurong maisip na effective measure for peace ang KABATAAN PARTYLIST... We should be proud of what religion we are in kasi ang relihiyon ay parte ng pagkatao natin. If you are about to remove anything religious sa mga government agencies/offices/facilities, then might as well destroy the very foundation of the Government which is the Constitution kasi PREAMBLE pa lang naka-indicate na dun ang mga katagang:

"We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and humane society and..."

Wag nang iboto yan sa susunod na halalan..
What a total waste of seat in the congress!!!

I am fuming at this facebook comment .. LOL very i do not see any thing catholic here unless of course they have copyrighted it the word 'GOD"... the person IMO is ill informed with regards to religion

[papADyak]

hehehe... nakakatawa naman yang bill na yan kung totoo man yan hmm i guess i have to read it first bago ako gumawa ng comment gusto ko malaman ang reason nya baket sya gumawa ng ganyang batas hehehe....

[samuraiX]

but this should only be limited to govt offices, nothing more, but does this also include govt initiated religious events? like sinulog for example or other similar events? if thats the case wala nang sinulog

but im sure this bill is doom anyway since we are a romatic catholic country and "banning god" strikes a nerve in this country heck we are even ready to donate or pay php60 million or so just for the canonization of pedro calunsod

understanding truth and justice is one essence of human existence.These are obtained from words of GOD and if they want to ban bill based on God's words, it literally means they are rejecting the words of God. wag naman, ang dapat ang demonyo ng kadugasan ang ipagbawal hindi ang panuntunan ng Dios nang sa gayon maging isa sa mahalagang bansa ang Pilipinas sa paningin ng Maykapal at sa pag iral sa Mundong ito! Oy parang may kinalaman ang iluminati dyan ah!wag tayong tumulad sa U.S. na ipinapagbawal ang manalangin sa Publiko at sa Tanggapang ng Pamahalaan dahil gawa iyon ng iluminati o ahensiya ng mga Demonyo na gustong makontrol ang maraming bansa. kasunod nyan ay ang pagpapatupad ng RFID o radio frequency Identification na kilalang National ID syatem. mga kababayaan yaan ang tatak ng hayop o halimaw na sinasabi sa banal na kasulatan .oo ang 666!payag ba kayong magpaalipin sa demonyo ang Pilipinas? wag itulot ng Maykapal! Dahil ang Pilipinas ay sa Maykapal.

Disagree ako sa pagban unlike kay Bishop.

Eh ano kung we let the Muslims pray? Or the Buddhist erect their shrine? Maganda na yun at equal...and free ang bawat isa to worship the way they want. I just don't like Christians being persecuted in this way.

Then by virtue of Religious Equality, the Muslim must also be allowed to pray there. And likewise the Buddhist must be allowed to have a monument to Buddha set up.. and so on.

Actually the 'Ban God Bill' title was only coined by the journalist who wrote the article in the Philippine Star. It's an underhanded way of displaying the journalist's personal slant against the bill, in an attempt to sway his readers to think likewise.

The actual bill strives to uphold secularism in government offices, i.e. separation of church and state, which is primarily mandated by law. Although we are a largely Catholic country, this bill also seeks to protect the rights of minorities of other religious and non-religious codes. Democracy in practice.

So just because the bill is touted as a 'Ban God bill' doesn't mean it aims to persecute Catholic and Christian believers; rather, it promotes fairness in the State workplace.

Ah, I see po. Salamat sa additional information.
Then I guess it would be fine kung it seeks to protect the rights of the minorities of other religious and non-religious codes.

Pero kapag pinagbawal na nila na manalangin ako halimbawa publicly, err.... wag naman. Agree ako sa fairness sa workplace.

update on this, the proposal was retracted after some minor scrutiny right? seems like our solon was half hearted when he made the proposal.

one point for the media's subtle influence.
