Gotta have faith! Freedom Like many Filipinos and Filipino Americans, the TFAL crew grew up around Christianity, specifically Catholicism. We speak of our upbringing in our podcast, mainly about how it’s shaped not just our adult selves, but the continued practices and traditions of many family, friends and listeners alike. Although we all look at...
A particularly Philippine claim to fame is that our country is the bastion of Christianity in Asia. Indeed, over 86% of the population is Roman Catholic, and evangelical Christianity is on the rise. So is, for better or worse, atheism, and its close cousins, humanism and agnosticism. Which begs the question: how fundamental to Filipino identity is the belief in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, not to mention the Virgin Mary and all the saints in heaven? And what of the forgotten but no less Filipino minority, the Muslims in Mindanao? Can atheists and believers co-exist without one wanting the save the other, be it from the fires of hell, or the chokehold of irrational faith and manmade guilt? Our guest flippers, Fr. Arnold Eramiz, a Catholic priest in the Agustinian and Ignatian traditions, and Red Tani, co-president of Filipino Freethinkers, a society committed to reason, science and secularism in the Philippines, duke it out in the most civilized way. God only knows who won this round :)
In this weeks episode I talk to Red Tani who is the president of the Filipino Freethinkers.We talk about how the Da Vinci Code inspired him. How he started the freethinkers and their advocacy work for human rights.The Filipino Freethinkers: https://filipinofreethinkers.org/Support Babelfish on: https://babelfish.10er.dk/ or https://www.patreon.com/babelfish Find Babelfish on:Facebook: www.facebook.com/babelfishthepodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/babelfishthepodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BabelfishthepodSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/babelfish)
