A content creator received criticism on social media after he insisted that he gained his achievements due to his hard work and not because of God.
In a Facebook post, Ashier Hernandez published a conversation between him and a fan who reacted to his property acquisition.
“Sana ol po, grabee talaga si lord magbigay no? Sobra-sobra! Sana ako din sa susunod,” the fan told Asher.
“Ay di po galing kay lord yan. Galing po yan sa hardwork ko hehehe,” Asher responded.
In a lengthy post, he explained why he believed that people should not always credit God when they achieve something.
“So ano nga bang gusto kong iparating sa post na yon. i just want to tell you guys that you deserve the credit of your own hardwork. Kase napansin ko dito sa Pilipinas, whenever you get your achievement, whenever you reached your goal. Bakit laging si God nacecredit, bakit si lord ang pinagtethank youhan?” he said.
“Eh ikaw naman ang nag trabaho nun ih, ikaw nag pakahirap don. It’s your goal, it’s not god’s goal. So bat si god yung kinecredit natin? That’s so unfair diba. Guide lang naman siya sa mga gusto natin, so bakit si god yung itethank you niyo? I just want to tell you guys that god is not a giver, he/she is just a guide,” he added.
He also called the God being worshipped by the Filipinos as ‘fictional.’
“I definitely have different religion and beliefs, I was born in Thailand and we’re worshipping Elephants as one of our God. Atleast yung god namin nakikita, nahahawakan at nakakatulong sa bansa namin. How about pinoy’s fictional god????? Can we just respect other people’s beliefs? This world has thousands/of Gods and we should respect everyone’s religions,” he said.
