Awesomely epic photobomb from yesterday’s rally in front of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines’ headquarters. Photo nicked from today’s Philippine Inquirer, captioned “Msgr. Juanito Figura [CBCP Secretary-General] answers questions from supporters of the [Reproductive Health] bill at the gate of the CBCP office in Intramuros, Manila.” That’s Red Tani of Filipino Freethinkers behind him, together with an homage to a classic xkcd cartoon.
[...] In the media frenzy that followed, supporters of the RH bill engaged the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) in a propaganda war. The Philippine Freethinkers, of which Celdran is presumably a member, reveled in the tremendous blow they landed on the Church. [...]

I’m an atheist and my wife is a non-attending uonvinlved Christian. We enjoy the cultural, eating and drinking aspects of Christmas and other holiday traditions, and my wife has no expectations that I participate if we’re attending a church service to hear a choir or see a friend perform. My daughter, who’s now 18, attends church and helps with a youth group and my 21 year old son is an atheist like myself. We all pretty much have agreed to disagree about religion and focus on what makes our relationship and family work. I think coming to some form of agreement before having children is important. I dropped my religious beliefs after my children were born so making things work was the only option available to us.
LOL. I read xkcd and this is amazing!
Way to go guys…
Pure genius. I think linking our protests with global/national memes can spread our cause more quickly! Great job guys!
Citation needed! HAHAHAHA love XKCD.

Super sikat na talaga!
I'm amazed this made it all the way to the Inquirer. Do we have a plant there?
I mean, come on. It's a whole newspaper. How could no-one there not notice the irony?
Methinks we have sympathizers. Hooray!
Made of pure win.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. I'd have this framed at the FF HQ.
2 thumbs up!
2nd fave poster was the one that went "Abstinence Makes the Church Grow Fondlers".. was that an FF dude too holding that sign in the papers?
and "Keep your ovaries out of my rosaries"… ummm did I quote that right?
I believe that was Carlos Celdran's niece holding the sign, though it was Frank's sign.
Whoops. Need to correct myself. Just saw the image on page 17. Yep, one of ours. I was initially pertaining to the image on page 1. My bad.
