Twisted Minds and Distorted Hearts

To solve social problems, to grow and to develop, to be well-informed citizens of our country - passionate minds and compassionate hearts are needed. Thanks, however, to a sick system of education that promotes nothing but corruption as a way of life in our country; and, indeed,the promise of a reward or punishment in the next life, naturally, with our twisted minds and distorted hearts, our social problems as a people, and troubles as a nation keep us poor as a people and indeed, backward as a nation. As for Bob Gabuna and his gang in this forum, I would look at them not as the intelligent masters, but as the sick victims of a sick system of education in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in all of Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara

Human Dignity

I would rather be wrong intellectually and enjoy my self-respect and dignity than be right academically and then enjoy the promotion of social insanity. Such is our sick society. Everybody is right academically, but wrong intellectually. Poch Suzara

Silly Souls

It is sad to see in Catholic countries Catholics are more involved not with improving human civilization; but involved only in deep faith praying to God to gain after death eternal salvation. As if God in hell must yet win more Catholic souls away from the Catholic devil in charge of a Catholic heaven. Poch Suzara

The Bible Says

The bible says: "THOU SHALT NOT FOLLOW THE MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL." Exodus 23:2. Indeed, let us not follow the teachings of the bible.It is the greatest of evil. Biblical values and beliefs have not ceased to destroy the human mind for the pleasures of divinity, and have not ceased to destroy the human heart for the joys of deviltry. Poch Suzara

Scientific Way

In the ultimate analysis, there is only critical thinking and evidential reasoning with which to examine the truths claimed by authority, or tradition, or revelation. Another word for critical thinking and evidential reasoning is called the scientific way of thinking. It is not only powerful, but there is also nothing quite like it in all of nature. Poch Suzara

Freedom From Religion

As children in school we were highly exposed to the freedom of religion. Hardly, however, were we deeply exposed to the freedom away from religion. Today as grown-ups, for the sake of our sick religion, we have become the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

I Am a Thinking Atheist

I am a thinking atheist. I take full responsibility for my own destiny. I do not care for life after death. For millions of years before I was born, I was a nothing; and for millions of years after I am dead I will again be a nothing. If the former does not bother me, why should the latter? Poch Suzara

As an Atheist I Do Not Believe

I am an active and a passive atheist at the same time: active, because I do not believe that God exists; and passive, because even if God is existing somewhere up there, it is quite obvious to me that his existence is totally irrelevant to human affairs down here. Poch Suzara

All Religious Faith

All religious faith is a form of cowardice in the face of the unknown. Most religious people, however, believe that such cowardice is really an inspiration from divine wisdom. Poch Suzara

A Bunch of Dummies

If we were a bunch of dummies in this God-forsaken country, I say, blame the schools, colleges, and universities. They are places where they teach that this temporary life is nothing compared to the eternal life that's waiting for us after we are all dead and gone. Poch Suzara

Your Stolen Mind

As soon as your mind is stolen away from you in school, you are assured rhen that you are now a "religious person." And if you carry on in life with a great sense of guilt and fear under deep faith in God, and always as a sinner proud to support financially the church, then you are promised that you might even end up to be one of the great saints of God in heaven. Poch Suzara

The Birth of Jesus

If Jesus was born of a virgin mother, then either Jesus never existed or his mother was never a virgin. I am inclined to suspect Jesus never existed all. Otherwise, what's the purpose of unduly exaggerating supernaturally the nature of his birth naturally? At any rate, whatever the case may be, Just like you and me and everybody else who came out of mom's womb, we are all born atheist. Indeed, no one is born a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim. When we were born, none of us had a religion nor faith in God. Poch Suzara

Our Unhappy Society

Ours is not a happy society. On the contrary, ours is a sick society. But what can be expected of a people educated to embrace sick values and to cherish sick beliefs and to promote a sick culture if we hope to gain eternal happiness in heaven in the next life? Poch Suzara

The Aim of Education

The primary aim of education in this only Christian country in Asia: - to be prepared not for this life; but prepared only for the next life. In fact, in the choice between allegiance to God and allegiance to our country, there is no question that we must, first and foremost, have allegiance only to God. In the meantime, in our country, who cares about love of country in the here and now? Poch Suzara

Crocodiles in the Jungle

Crocodiles in the jungle have become symbols of our politicians in government: greedy, selfish, stupid, and insane. But please, let's not insult the poor crocodiles. They have no college degrees; and they are not born-raised-educated to have faith in God as good and faithful Christians. Poch Suzara

Beliefs are Worthless

Beliefs devoid of evidence are worthless. In fact, even with evidence, beliefs are still worthless because a fact remains a fact even if there is no one there to believe it or not to believe it. Evolution, for example, is not a theory, but a fact; and even if millions of people do not believe it, evolution will remain as a fact until proven otherwise. Poch suzara

After I am Dead

After I am dead and gone, I should wish to be remembered only as an atheist. If that were not possible, I should wish to be remembered as the one and only Filipino who was never afraid to openly admit or to publicly declare, or even to maintain consistently - that I am a devout atheist." If I were to end up in hell with God, I would even be more proud to be an atheist forever and ever. Poch Suzara

If God made Man

If God made man in his own image and likeness, in whose image and likeness was woman made of? After all, there is a hell of a lot of difference in shape, size, purpose, and function between a penis and a vagina. Are we to assume that God has not only a penis, but also a vagina found in between his legs? Now let us assume that it is not a joke that God created men and women in his own image and likeness. So how come we can physically see each other as we are materially visible, but we cannot see God as he is spiritually invisible? For my part, ever since I was sixteen years old, I gradually stopped playing the silly HIDE AND SEEK games with God! Poch Suzara

Karl Popper

According to Karl Popper: "No rational argument will have effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude." But then again, I ask: how would an irrational child grow up to be rational if he were never exposed to the power of rational arguments? Poch Suzara

The Enemies of Science

The enemies of science are fear, ignorance, and superstition - precisely the friends and indeed, the foundation of all religions.
The enemy of religion is another religion. Poch Suzara

We are the Sick Man of Asia

Our government would not import superior and scientific brains from overseas to help develop our country with the beauty of science and the power of technology. No, we would rather export inferior brains as laborers to help foreigners develop their own country together with their own highly educated superior and scientific brains. We are, indeed, the Sick man of Asia. Poch Suzara

If God And The Devil

If God and the devil did not exist, my life would be a complete bore and totally devoid of meaning. I will have nothing to hate. I enjoy hating God as much as I enjoy hating the devil either together or separately. It does not matter. God and Devil are one and the same supernatural evil. Poch Suzara

Reality is Unknowable

Reality is ultimately unknowable. Any attempt to describe its luminosity, there is always the dark side of it reflecting obscurity. Indeed, which is closer to reality: a leaf seen under a naked eye, or seen under a magnifying glass, or seen under a microscope? Poch Suzara

The Richest of Men

Among the richest of men are those who sell not the truth, but lies; specially sacred lies. Thus, one of the richest of industries in the world is the priesthood industry. Poch Suzara

The greatest of Philosophical Question

The greatest of philosophical questions - what is truth? Does free will exist? Can we know anything for certain? Does the tree continue to exist if there is no one there to see it? - are as unresolved today as when those profound questions were asked during the Greek days giving birth to philosophy thousands of years ago. Poch Suzara

Science and Religion

Verification and falsification are matters in the field of science. Intuition and revelation are matters in the field of religion. Science is for those who enjoy living and thinking. Religion is for those who enjoy dying and for those who already dead. Poch Suzara

God is the First Cause of What

Eveything, before it was a nothing, had a first cause. God is the first cause of everything. Since God Himself is part of everything, who then or what then caused God to become something before he too
was a nothing? Poch Suzara

If I were God

If I were God, I would stop wasting time residing in heaven. I would come down to live on earth and do some honest work based on honest thinking. To begin with, I will re-enact the death by crucifixion episode. I will not put my Son Jesus, but put instead the devil to die on the cross. After which I will say: To hell with the devil and his free will. Poch Suzara

Eternal Salvation

We are indeed the Sick Man of Asia. But what can be expected of a people who have been educated to believe that in this world we must never try to seek reconstruction; we must only be contented with ourselves as God's creation. We need not value civilization. We must only appreciate the power of prayer for the sake of our eternal salvation. Poch Suzara

Postmodernism

Postmodernism stands in opposition to the advancement of human knowledge, human progress, and human emancipation. In brief, postmodernism hates the new. It only loves the old, if not the obsolete. Poch Suzara

In My Search For The Truth

In my search of the truth, I have learned something about the scientific way of thinking: - at the heart of everything is not an answer, but a question. Poch Suzara

The Search For God and the Devil

I searched for God and for the devil for a great many years. I was told that both supernatural Beings have not ceased fighting over to win my soul for heaven; or, as the case may be, to win my soul for hell. I really don't know what's the fuss all about. God and the Devil may split my soul into half for each. It's a worthless soul anyway. I don't need it. I don't want it. They can even eat it! Peace be with you. Poch Suzara

I am Told

I am told that science is only true in its own way. Theology could just as readily be "true" in another. Maybe so. The difference, however, is that in science, there is no room for confusion. In theology, even as it claims to be infallible, there is room not only for contradiction, but more so - illusion. What the theologians did not know centuries ago, they still do not know in this century. Poch suzara

The Enemy of Religion

The enemy of religion is not science. The enemy of religion is other religions. Science is what we know based on the knowable. Religion is what we do not know, based on the unknowably worthless. Poch Suzara

If I have Free Will

If I have free will, how come I have to pay not only for the sins of Adam and Eve, but also pay for the sins of the devil who, according to Genesis, was also gifted by God to have a free to even transform himself into Talking Serpent? A few of the descendants of this talking Serpent got to be my silly teachers in La Salle grade school and high school. Poch Suzara

Believing is Easy. Thinking is Hard

Thinking is hard. believing is easy. It explains there are far more stupid believers in this God-forsaken country of our than there are intelligent thinkers. For my part, each time I find myself unable to think; or, as the case may be, unable to believe, I do the next best thing: I continue my endless pursuit of the truth - it is man's most noble of profession. Poch Suzara

Never so Few

Never so few robbed so many, of so much, for so long, and so faithfully, and returned so little, as has been and still is the Priesthood Industry. It is even accomplished not only in God's name, but also for his greater glory in heaven. Poch Suzara

What is the Difference

What exactly was the diference between goddless communism and mindless capitalism? What have either contributed to world peace and goodwill to men? Poch Suzara

A Hell Of a Place

America is a hell of a place for intellectuals. It is, however, a heaven for those who are selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane. It is just like the Philippines. It is a paradise for sinners and criminals; but a hell of a place for honest thinkers, fearless unbelievers of the faith, not to mention for Filipinos who are scared to publicly declare themselves to be atheists. Poch Suzara

One Would Think

One would think that after the saints have already been canonized and are now residing as saints in heaven, they would have the heart to speak to God in behalf of the human race and its deplorable condition; especially in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara

My Accomplishments

What are my accomplishments in life? No, not wealth. I have neither power nor glory. Instead, I am most proud to have successfully recaptured the most priceless treasure stolen away from me as a little boy in school: my precious mind. Today, the theologians have no more influence over my life. I have developed my own sense of morality based not on faith, but on reason. I have extricated myself out of the system of silly beliefs that promotes individual stupidity on the one hand, and social insanity on the other. Far more than free will, I am now enjoying my free mind. Poch Suzara

The Living and the Dead

"The living know that they shall die, but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." Eccl. 9: 5-7. Nice mess for the doctrine of eternal salvation. Poch Suzara

A Famous Theologian

A famous Filipino theologian whispered to the ear of famous freethinker decrepit and dying of old age in bed: "Find it in your heart to forgive God." Pity, the theologian ignored as well to whisper to the ear of the dying freethinker to forgive too deviltry always in cahoots with divinity" Poch Suzara

Due To Sacred Beliefs

Due to sacred beliefs based upon fear, ignorance, and superstition, every bit of progress in free thought and humanitarian ideals have been paid at a very dear price: the burning of freethinking men at the stake, and the hanging of freethinking women in the scaffold. Poch suzara

The Muddled Filipino Mind

The muddled Filipino mind may have been due to, if not the result of, two sources both historically mixed inextricably together: the Vatican trash and Hollywood garbage. Perhaps, I am wrong. We may all be rather muddleheaded in this country simply because we have never been exposed to the power of science and the scientific way of thinking.Poch Suzara

The Communion of Saints

In religion, there is the communion of saints. In science, however, there is the communion of thinkers and philosophers. In the Philiippines, the only Christian country in Asia, there is yet another kind - the communion of losers and the failures all praying daily together to God Almighty to lead us not into temptation but to deliver us from evil via divine intervention. Poch Suzara

Biblical Teachings

The bible teach that degraded women are best left degraded. That women should only be measured, weighted, sniffed and quality-graded for freshness like buying a kilo of pork in the market. Indeed, according to the bible: "Woman should be in subjection because Eve was deceived.: 1 Tim 2:11-14. Can any one blame me for believing that the bible was written not by inspired women authors, but by inspired morons of God? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Filipinos Love to Hear

Filipinos love to hear the foreigners admit that the Philippines is a paradise. Yet, it is a paradise only to foreigners; but not to millions of Filipino Christians who have been taught to believe that paradise can only be found in the next life after death with God in heaven. Meantime, we Filipinos are famous for our hospitality. Not, however, to each other, but only those greedy, selfish, stupid, and insane men otherwise known as the "foreigners." Poch Suzara

Now Faith is the Substance

"Now faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrew 11:1. In other words, faith is the sacred word we must use to hide away or justify in every way our lazy mentality. After all, how else may we please divinity? Poch Suzara.

Look At the Filipino Lawyers

Look at Filipino lawyers highly trained in the college of law to learn to become experts in the art of cross examination. Yet, they too are dumbstruck when it comes to cross examining their own silly religious beliefs and sick social values that's keeping the Filipino illegally poor as a people and illegally backward as a nation. Poch Suzara

What's the Difference

What is the difference between the monster called Sadam in Iraq who loves and prays to Allah in heaven, and the other monster called Bush in the USA who loves and prays to Jesus Christ also in heaven? Poch suzara

God Has The Power

God has the power to forgive sin and to forgive crime. God therefore has all the right to order such evils committed. The most the rest of us damned fools can do is to pray to God to please lead us not into temptation. Poch Suzara

It is all so Absurd

It is all so absurd. Something as the creation of the soul that will exist forever, should be tied up to such trivial incident like the meeting of the male sperm with the female egg. What is even more ridiculous, however, is that there will be good souls to end up in heaven, and there will be bad souls to end down in hell.The latter to please the devil. The former to please God. And then we are even intellectually crippled enough to be unable to figure out how we have become the Sick Man of Asia? Poch Suzara

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, the son of God, who came down to earth to destroy the devil, utterly failed to do so. Thus, ours is the religion of the failures and the losers. Look how the devil has been winning more Filipino souls for hell than God has been winning Filipino souls for heaven. And at the rate things are going in the Philippines, it looks like only the souls of politicians and the souls of the theologians will make it to God's Kingdom Come. Poch Suzara

I Do Not Agree

I do not agree that the truths of religion are beyond the power of reason. If they were, then religion was not made for human beings.I agree, however, that religious lies are for people devoid of thought. Indeed, religious people are incapable of critical analysis due to mental paralysis. Poch Suzara

Not Good Enough

I am told that no one is good enough to save himself, and no one is bad enough that God cannot save him. For my part, I ask: I am to be saved from what? Poch Suzara

Christianity

Pagan culture in Greece gave birth to such concepts as democracy, rational philosophy, public libraries, theatres, and the Olympic games creating a blueprint for the modern world of science and technology. I ask: What about Christianity? During these past 2,000 years of existence, especially for the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia, aside from the Filipino being the Sick man of Asia, what else has Christian values and beliefs given birth to? Poch Suzara

Paganism

Most people associate Paganism with the myths of the gods of the Olympus. But if Paganism were so primitive and Christianity the one and only true religion, why was paganism or Pagan civilization replaced by a thousand years historians refer to as the Dark Ages? Poch Suzara

The Power of Reason

The power of reason is always more revealing, more lively, more inspiring, more enlightening, more penetrating, and in fact, sometimes, even more blinding.On the other hand, sadly, blind faith is the premature death and burial of human intelligence. Poch Suzara

I do not believe in Supernatural Morons

I do not believe in the existence of God or in the existence of the devil. I do not see any value whatsoever in believing in the existence of supernatural morons. Indeed, the mere fact that God and the devil, since time immemorial, have been fighting over to win the silly souls of men, makes them both moronic supernaturally. Poch Suzara

Questions Are Far More Precious

Questions are far more precious than answers because in time the answers become obsolete. Sadly, most people have all the answers, but no longer ask interesting questions. Wondering no more why there seems more stupidity generating our sick society as inspired by a sick Deity. Poch Suzara

Real Education

A real education has nothing to do with earning a college diploma. It has more to do with learning how to keep away from the evils of dogma, hogma, and pigma; especially as it keeps forever retarded the medulla oblongata. Poch Suzara

Fates Far more Deplorable

There are fates far more deplorable than death. For example, wasting away this precious life by preparing to be saved in the next life as if there is any. In the meantime, we all want to go to heaven, but why is it that nobody wants to die? Poch Suzara

America

America is not only the home of the brave and the land of the free. It is also a place where weapons of mass destruction are produced to drive other nations to buy such weapons in order to defend themselves against the American foreign policy. The US government apparently loves to substantiate the paradoxical theory that nations can keep themselves alive only by preparing to kill each other. Poch Suzara

The Philippines

The Philippines is one of the most progressive countries in Asia.It has ceased multiplying and substracting Filipinos locally for the sake of replenishing Filipino workers globally. Poch Suzara

A Stroke or a Heart Attack

A stroke or a heart attack is less damaging compared to the brain damaged caused by religious indoctrination during childhood. Religious faith cripples the mind and damages the heart for the rest of one's life. Poch Suzara

Theology

To explain the unknown in terms of the known is a logical necessity. But to explain the unknown in terms of the unknowable is a theological insanity. Indeed, theology may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, or whether what it is claiming makes sense to any one at all. Poch Suzara

Science

The right to believe and to have faith are taught first in schools. Hardly, however, the right also to think and the right to question everything - the very foundation of science and the scientific way of thinking. Poch Suzara

Love and Sex

A man gives love in order to get sex. A woman gives sex in order to get love. It's a game men and women play together in order to multiply and replenish the earth with unwanted children who grow up to play the same old silly game over and over again. Poch Suzara

The Orginal Mess

If I were Defense Attorney handling the case against Adam and eve in the Garden of Eden, I would have had both acquitted and found instead God in cahoots with the devil guilty not only of the Original sin, but even more guilty of the whole Original Mess. Poch Suzara

Filipino Politicians

When God created the Filipino politician, He set a limit to his intelligence; however, to add insult to injury, God allowed the devil to put no limit to stupidity of the Filipino politician Poch Suzara
There are only two kinds of world: the world of illusion and the world of facts. Every form of human happiness belong to the world of illusion. In line with self-respect, what is essential is to find beauty and harmony in the world of facts. poch Suzara
What makes a belief true is its harmony with reality. What makes a belief false is its harmony with human stupidity. Poch suzara
A man of faith is one who, if he does not have a hangover, he is working on one. The worse part, however, is the way he clings to a lamppost for support; not illumination. Poch Suzara
Christians against Christians. Jews against Jews. Muslims against Muslims. Christians, Jews, and Muslims against each other. And to think that God made the Christians, the Jews, and the Muslims in his own image and likeness. Poch Suzara

The Virtues of Pries

The virtues of the priesthood industry are far more harmful than its vices. For one thing, its vices produce piety; while its virtues produce sacred mendacity to promote religious hypocrisy. Poch Suzara
Has faith ever moved a mountain? I have already reached the October of my life - my end is near - but I have yet to see a mountain moved by an inch with the power of faith. Poch Suzara

Filipino Intelligence

Thanks to our Christian values and beliefs as the basis of Filipino culture, we celebrate not the rise of human intelligence to benefit our country; on the contrary, we celebrate instead human negligence to maintain our sick society. Poch Suzara
Ninoy Aquino may have lived for freedom and democracy; but he died for theocracy. He never said the Filipino is worth living for; on the contrary, he said: "The filipino is worth dying for." The Filipino agreed. With faith in God, Filipinos killed him. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell Books

I am most proud and happy to have been expelled out of La Salle high school. The development gave me the rare opportunity to enroll in the greatest of all universities - which is but a collection of books; especially the books written by Bertrand Russell. Indeed, if I did not discover the works of Bertrand Russell, never would I have ever recaptured the greatest treasure stolen away from me in school: My most precious mind. Thank you Bertrand Russell. Wherever you are: I have the deepest love for you, the highest respect for you, the greatest of admiration for your work in the world of human intelligence. Poch Suzara

All Great Religions

The great religions of the world have been based on one evil only: The love of God up there by hating each other down here. Poch Suzara
God expected to flood and to drown all living things as punishment of sin during Noah's days. God failed miserably in his plan. He could not drown the things living in the ocean. Poch Suzara
As a matter of fact, the Philippines is a very rich country. Even if it owes the World Bank some $57 billion dollars, it can still afford to remit, as the only Catholic country in Asia, millions of dollars a year to the Vatican. Poch Suzara

Jaime Cardinal sin

Jaime Cardinal Sin, a shepherd, is now without a flock. He recently retired as the archbishop of Manila. This is great news because only sheep need a shepherd. Poch Suzara
I have more fear of schools than I have fear of bullets. For the most part, schools are places where they destroy human minds and human hearts to have faith in stupid beliefs. Millions of people have been killed in war with bullets because they utterly refused to have faith in the stupid belief of others. Poch Suzara
Poverty is a negative condition. It is like darkness which is the absence of light. Poverty can never be eradicated or abolished; it can only be remedied with the creation of wealth. Poch Suzara
Happiness is always doing something; not nothing. Now how can we be happy in heaven doing nothing except occupy empty space while looking forever at God's non-existing face? Poch Suzara

Problems and Prayers

I have neither the taste nor the gumption to run for government office in the Philippines. I have not the ability nor the capacity to solve social and political and economic problems with the power of prayer. Poch Suzara
There's more, much more in what is real because there are no clear-cut boundaries in what reality comprises. Poch suzara

Medical Science Versus Prayer

Medical science and its ability to keep alive those who would already be otherwise dead is just one of the miracles that the power of prayer has to equal. Poch suzara
It's sad to see friends and relatives looking for nothing but money and success in life. Only to maintain their being selfish, greedy, stupid and insane. Then they ask God for the forgiveness of their sin and crime. For my part, I would rather be looking for answers to my questions by formulating for myself better kinds of questions. Poch Suzara

Comic, not Logic

College graduates in this only Christian country in Asia hate to read as they are virtually illiterate. What's even more scandalous is that, for the most part, they would rather be inspired not by the power of logic, but only by the power of magic
or anything comic, if not tragic, not to mention anything bucolic as it means the same as being a Catholic. Poch Suzara

Scientific Illiteracy

In order for the priesthood industry to carry on perpetually its mission to promote piety, hypocrisy, and silly divinity, the theologians, on a national level, rely heavily on the people's scientific illiteracy. Poch suzara

God as All-Knowing

Just because we have no evidence that God exists does not mean we have evidence that God does not exist. For my part, even if there is evidence of the existence of God out there, it does not matter a bit because God's existence is totally irrelevant to human affairs down here. In the meantime, prove to me that God exists and I will then prove to you that such a God is not that ALL-KNOWING; for, God knows not, as yet, what to do with the stupid devil existing right alongside Him always doing evil in cahoots together. So, God is everywhere. So what? What does that matter for as long as Jesus had shed blood for both his fiends and for his enemies! Poch Suzara

Large print giveth, but small print taketh away. "GOD MADE MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS." "Dust thou art and to dust thou shalt return." Poch Suzara

Christian Faith in the Mafia

Christian faith is to free inquiry what the Mafia is to free enterprise. For challenging Church authority the Inquisition was established in the 5th century. It lasted up to the 15th century. It exiled Copernicus, silenced Galileo, burned Bruno at the stake. Christian faith stood in the way of advancement of knowledge and the emancipation of the human mind under free thought and humanitarian ideals. For a thousand years every man, woman, and child all believed in the existence of God. Historians refer to it as the DARK AGES. Poch Suzara
What will happen to life's meaning if it turns out that God does not exist? A more profound question to ask: If religion were necessary to all men, how come religion makes men cut each other's throat because they cannot agree as to what will happen to them after their throats have been cut in God's name? Poch Suzara

Live for God in Heaven

The assertion that we must only live for God in heaven is contrary to human dignity. I entirely agree with Santayana's: 'WHAT A DESPICABLE CREATURE MUST A MAN BE, AND HOW SUNK BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE MOST BARBARIC VIRTUE, IF HE CANNOT BEAR TO LIVE FOR HIS CHILDREN, FOR HIS ART, OR FOR HIS COUNTRY." Poch Suzara
A universal belief lasting for two thousand years proves nothing. For two thousand years Catholics believed in Catholicism. For two hundred thousand years people believed the world as flat, or that the sun moved round the earth. Poch Suzara

The Sun as God

If we must have a religion, let's love, worship, and adore what the pagans looked up to for tens of thousands of years - the Sun - it is still today and for centuries to come the source of all life on this world. Poch suzara

Stupid Believing

Somethings are impossible. For example, it is utterly impossible for children to learn the lively art of critical thinking and evidential reasoning if they were first taught to have faith in the deadly art of stupid believing. Poch Suzara
We are ready to die physically as soon as we are ready to live spiritually. Meanwhile, those who are afraid to die are afraid to live. What a life! What a world! And if there were a God involved in all this nonsense, it's silly to love and respect such a God. Poch Suzara

Result of Prayer

I was once a devout Catholic. I often prayed to God to convert my Muslim best friend into becoming a Catholic. My Muslim friend heard me and he too began to pray to allah to convert me into becoming a Muslim. I am most happy and proud of the results of both our prayers: He and I have mutually ended up to become devout atheists. Poch Suzara
Progress is taking one step forward; not, however, when you are standing at the edge of a cliff. Poch suzara

Silly Souls existing nowhere

Science is organized knowledge derived from observation. Theology is the study of nothing as there is nothing to observe or study or experiment in theology. No one has seen silly souls in heaven or silly souls in hell or silly souls existing anywhere on this earth. Poch Suzara

Task of Theology

The task of theology is to twist, distort, stunt, and damage the human brain. When the mission is accomplished by the theologians, the faithfool believers believe everything and has no mental capacity, naturally, to examine anything. Poch Suzara

the Truth of a Great Mind

Here's a truth that no one can deny: Only a great mind can recognize and acknowledge the brilliance of another great mind.

In the meantime, a small mind can only talk about people. An average mind can only talk about events. A great mind would rather talk, at any time, about ideas. Poch Suzara

According to St. Augustine

According to St. Augustine: "Faith is the point of departure of knowledge." Now isn't that the same with human stupidity? Can faith and reason be mutually re-inforcing? Hardly. How can we have faith in the knowledge that man has one less rib in him because reason tells us that God created Eve by taking ONE rib off Adam's body? Poch Suzara
After I am dead and it turned out that there is a God, I will immediately ask for his forgiveness for having wasted for some 18 precious years of my life as a devout Catholic. Poch Suzara

Scientific Inquiry

What Filipinos need is not faith but an attitude of scientific inquiry combined with the belief that poverty in the Philippines is undesirable weather inspired by stupid politicians in cahoots with the theologians, or inspired by stupid theologians in cahoots with the politicians. Poch suzara
Men differ from animals only by a little. But thanks to the sacrament of forgiveness of sin and crime from God, most men throw that little away. Poch Suzara

A Jewish God for Filipinos

If we could learn to reason logically on religious issues, it is clear that we all ought to become Jews because Jesus, our Savior, was born a Jew, lived a Jew, preached in a Jewish community, and died a Jew. Jesus even admitted that he was fulfilling the Jewish religion. But then again, how come the place where Jesus was born is not even a Christian country? It is today a Jewish State. Poch Suzara

Birth as the Beginning of Death

What is born, dies; in fact, anything that is born eventually dies. It is a law of nature. It is what the law of evolution is all about: Every birth is the beginning
of death. And death is the beginning of what was once existing - a nothing. Poch Suzara

The Burning Bush in the White House

According to the bible, God is a "Burning Bush." I travelled to many countries in search of God in the form of a burning bush. The closes I got was the Bush who lives in the American White House inspired by christian values and beliefs to reduce the Muslim world into a burning bush. Poch Suzara
Former Used Car Salesman, Mike Velarde of El Shaddai is now a billionaire. He has been quite a tremendous success selling what the dumbstruck multitude has been buying: Jesus. It is all at a very price: the mindless surrender of the self via the mutilation of the intellect. Poch Suzara

Design and Purpose

Design implies a designer; but more than that, design implies purpose. Now it's hard enough to prove that the universe was designed by a designer. What's even harder to prove is that the existence of the universe has a purpose. Poch Suzara

Religion and Endless Emnity

To Filipinos with a higher I.Q. than is usual - religion, at best, is a joke; at worst, however, religion is a source of bigotry, insanity, stupidity, poverty, war, and merry-go-round mediocrity daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Poch Suzara
Modern science has left theology in poor state. The universe revealed by science shows the human race an infinitesimal speck in space and time existing on an insignificant planet revolving a humdrum star. Why should a God exert his influence in such a vast universe and for what purpose? Poch Suzara

Evil Versus Evil

Of all the evils that God, in his inscrutable wisdom, has inflicted upon mankind, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are by far the worst. Big business, however, like The US government, welcomes the existence of such evil; especially for the sake of making big bucks or for the US economy to grow and expand. It gives the US military power all the opportunity to inspire such evils to go to war against each other. Indeed, a little reflection on the history of our world - shows simply that history has never been about GOOD against EVIL, but always about EVIL versus EVIL. They are still on going throughout the world today and EVIL still winning. Look how in our world today - the human race is still being disgraced by divine grace! If, in the concatenation of events, there has been some good in the history of war, such good eventually became evil too. Look at America and its good allies; after having won the world war 2 against Hitler's Nazism, America keep on creating war here,there, and everywhere as war is big business for the US Military, Industrial, and University Complex. Poch Suzara

The Answer to Prayer

God's answer to all our prayers: Pray more each day!

Christianity and it series of Horrors

Trinity, virginity, divinity, papacy, ministry, infallibility, purgatory, immortality, deviltry, etc all are parts of daily reality that promote human stupidity in the Philippines in order to generate social insanity that insures the existence of Christianity perpetually.

No Filipino has ever become rich for believing that God is bad. And yet, millions of Filipinos are poor for believing that God is good. Poch Suzara

Death - Ways of Evolution

Each and every unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and, at the same time, the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. Thus, the endless death of old reality giving birth to a new reality containing the same seeds of its own destruction. The secret of evolution is in the billions - birth, growth, death, and decay. As to where the reality of evolution is going; in fact, is it really going anywhere - who knows? Poch Suzara
God made man in his own image and likeness. Unfortunately, God has yet to make peace with his own selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane reflection. Poch Suzara

Mass Destruction versus Mass Deception

The Catholic Church sells weapons of mass deception. The US government sells weapons of mass destruction. What is the difference? Both the US government and the Catholic Church are the two richest organization in the world. Poch Suzara
The power of theology does not come from divinity; it comes from fear and ignorance, if not from intellectual vacuity otherwise popularly known as human stupidity. Poch suzara

Blind Faith

What is so spiritual about the blind leading blind not only in blind faith, but also for the glory of a blind God in heaven? Poch Suzara
God is a mystery - a mystery so incomprehensible that nothing is known of God except that he is a mystery. If that were the case, how would we know, to begin with, that such a God even exist? Poch Suzara
Jesus is mentioned 93 times in15 different chapters of the Quran. Jesus is called a prophet, a messenger, a servant of God, a word from God, the messiah, and one inspired or aided by the spirit of God. According to the Muslims, happily, the Quran was also written by inspired authors of Allah. Poch Suzara

On Our Knees

Politics is the cancer of nationalism in the Philippines. Worse than politics, however, has been and still is religion. The Catholic church has kept the Filipino
on his knees maintaining his worldwide popularity as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara
As the island of our piety grows, so does the shore of our hypocrisy. In most advanced countries, its resources are for its people. In the Philippines, the people are the resources for other foreign countries still advancing. Poch Suzara

Divine Grace against the Human race

No, not science, but religion continues to promote poverty, misery, hatred, violence, diseases, and especially questions that remain unanswered such as where's is divine grace to upgrade, not degrade, - the human race? Indeed, more to point: Why does divine grace continue to hide needlessly away from the troubles and problems of the human race? Poch Suzara

In the End Nothing

At the heart of reality lies not the answer, but a question: why is there something rather than nothing? But at the heart of every something is the seed of its own destruction which, inevitably, ends as a nothing of a new reality of which science has yet to discover what that nothing is all about.

human intelligence

It is a great joy to meet people who are not dumbstruck, but awestruck with the rarity known as human intelligence. Poch Suzara
Whatever God said to those inspired bible authors was said to them and not said directly to me. It is therefore not my obligation to believe what those authors said that God said to them. Even if it is known as Revelation. Poch Suzara

Lies and Fantasy

When a nation's values and beliefs are based on lies and fantasy, how can such a nation grow with the truth and how can it mature with reality? Such is the situation in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. Poch suzara

Two Kinds of Filipinos

There are only two kinds of Filipinos: the unbelievers - minority with intelligence without religion; and, the believers - the majority with religion but devoid of intelligence. For my part, I am most proud to be totally irreligious. In fact, I am an atheist; a freethinker. I am always proud to question why there is so much religious stupidity, political hypocrisy, social insanity, and historical perversity with us Filipinos in the Philippines - the only christian country in Asia since the 16th century. In the meantime, just because the majority rules, does not mean the majority is right. It is only means that the majority is gullible. The majority believes that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. This is not reality at all says the intelligent minority. It is false as it is nothing but a grand illusion. . . Poch Suzara
The believer argues with another believer not on what they both believe, but on what they do not understand. In the meantime, the mystery they love, worship, and adore is another word for divinity. Poch Suzara

Praying, not Reading

We Filipinos are not, by any standard, a nation of readers. We are, in fact, a nation of prayers. For my part, as a high school expelled student, I pride myself not only as one who is an avid reader, but also a book and letter writer. Poch suzara
What faith is to mental paralysis, reason is to critical analysis. Meanwhile, theology is not what we know about the supernatural, but what we do not know about the natural. Indeed, theology is not about what is everywhere down here, but what is nowhere out there. Poch Suzara

No Beginning, No End

I am told that God has no beginning and no end. Well, let's assume for the sake of an argument that God has been existing die for more than 800,000,000,000 (BILLION) YEARS. Now if I live to be 80 YEARS, which is but a split of a millisecond long comparatively, I should be most proud to find out after death that, somehow, I managed to offend God Almighty with my sins while existing on this piece of dust called "earth.". In fact, if and when I meet with God after death, I will ask God if he is a Catholic? If He says yes, then I will tell him to his face, (if he has a face) that he has been and still is a LOUSY GOD to us Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara
Imagine God as invisible, a spirit, and moving in mysterious ways. Could there be anything else more imaginably ridiculous? Poch Suzara

Onan's Free Will

In Genesis 38, Onan was struck dead by God when he spilled his seed instead of impregnating his widowed sister-in-law as he had been commanded to do. His offense lay not in committing coitus interruptus, but refusing to do what tradition said he owed to his dead brother's memory. In any case, I ask: how free was Onan's free will as a gift from God? Poch Suzara
The church will never solve social problems such as poverty, squalor. and human misery. In fact, in order to guarantee its continued existence, as the church has been in existence for the past two thousand years, it's main business has always been to exacerbate and to perpetuate social problems. Poch Suzara
Faith is embracing the answer that seems to satisfy what we do not know. Meanwhile, faith in divinity is not a sign of humility, but a sign of immaturity at best, or at worst, stupidity. Poch Suzara

Silly Commandments of God

Fear of punishment in hell or the hope of reward in heaven is a pathetic way of living one's life with self-respect and dignity.. To begin with, the commandments of God have absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the development of human intelligence or the cultivation of human benevolence - for one another! Indeed, the commandments of God serves not man but only God. Is God really that emotionally twisted in that he needs commandments for lesser and frightened beings to follow? Poch Suzara
Postmodernism is the ancient way of discarding modernism. It is a way of admitting
individually what one cannot accept as human improvements socially. Poch Suzara
A religion that seeks immunity from examination of its values, beliefs, and indeed practices is a religion that is obviously based on holy mendacity, if not sacred hypocrisy. Poch Suzara

Silly Logic

A remedy for a fallacious argument is not the evasion of the issue or dodging of the question, but simply, a more logical argument. Otherwise, why believe in something that no one knows nothing about? Poch Suzara

Death as a Nothing

Death is resting in everlasting peace.There is no more worry, troubles, work, planning, knowledge, wisdom in the world of the dead. Death is the world of nothing; yet, the frightened faithfools fear death as the beginning of something.

For my part, after I am dead, and I find there is life after death, I say NO WAY. I don't want to have to do anything with more prayers, novenas, Black Nazarene, bible studies, Retreats, prayer meetings, confession, mass, communion, indeed, I don't want to have anything to do with a Spanish, or American, or Jewish Savior. Or worst, I do not want to have to do anything with a God or an Allah and or a Yahweh or what-not. Over my dead body. Poch Suzara
How unkind of God to lead people to the edge of a cliff to test their faith in revelation. Isn't God already busy enough leading people not to fall into temptation? What's the purpose then of people's supplication. for divine intervention? Poch Suzara

The Faithfools

Instead of attaching more credibility to the power of a logic, the faithfools would rather submit to the fantastic claims of the Old and the New Testament explaining God's kind of silly magic. Poch Suzara

Divine Booboo

Never mind Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Noah and the rest of those silly bible characters. If God had only created first the Virgin Mary born without original Sin who gave birth to Jesus as His only begotten Son of God - our world would be a paradise today? In the meantime, I am most proud of God and His Virgin Mary. They practiced family planning and birth control measures. They only had one son, didn't they? Poch Suzara
Jesus was not born a Catholic. Even at the time of his baptism, there was not, as yet established - the Roman Catholic Church. So, as the song goes: what's going on?

Faith and Freedom

The freedom of religion does not only mean freedom to have faith, but also means the freedom to discard one's faith. In the meantime, how may we embrace the values of freedom, when during childhood days in school, the greatest of freedoms was already stolen away from us: - the freedom to think freely. Poch Suzara

Insanity Under Christianity

The main function of government in civilized countries is to protect public liberty. In the Philippines, however, the government is organized to protect and defend social insanity under the blessing by Christianity. Poch Suzara
There are only two classes of Filipinos: those who are intelligent without religion; and those who are religious but not intelligent. If you were intelligent without a religion, thank God for you are not one of those morons who contribute daily to the hopeless situation in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara

Population Growth

Population growth is forcing a fantastic rise in malnutrition, illiteracy, and poverty in the Philippines - precisely the horrors that's keeping the Filipino famous as the Sick Man of Asia - more at home with a sick divinity in cahoots with a sick deviltry so as to maintain sick values and beliefs under a sick society perpetually. Poch Suzara
Unhappily, what exist must, eventually, ceased to exist. Happily for human stupidity, it is an exception. It is here to stay forever. Poch Suzara
If we Filipinos were hopeless as a nation, it is only because we are still under the authority of those who are mindless and heartless and reckless. What's enviable are the civilized countries that are creatively, productively, and scientically goddless and therefore enjoy cultural values that are not worthless. Poch Suzara

Filipino Attitude on Death

Filipino attitude on death: ""What the hell! There is always happiness with God in heaven after death. So, who gives a hoot about this rotten life in this country? Our life here in the Republic of the Philippines is only a transition to a better life to come in the Republic of Divinity or, as the case may be - in the Republic of Deviltry!" Poch Suzara
Christ died for our sins. We must make sure that his martyrdom becomes more lively and meaningful by committing more sins? Poch Suzara

Adam, Eve, and Noah

Instead of creating a Noah first, God created Adam and Eve who never saw grace in the eyes of the Lord as Noah did. And to think that St. Thomas Aquinas wrote: "The plan of predetermination is certain-" or things happen over which God either has no control, or has voluntarily relinquished control. Poch suzara

God's Mysteries

Ignorance, to a Christian, is sacred not because he does not know; but because he does not need to know. Indeed, Christians have been taught to believe that to question its teachings, or try to learn something new and fresh is a serious offense against faith in the mysterious ways of God Almighty on earth as it is in heaven. Poch Suzara

According to Religion

According to religion, I am made in the image and likeness of God. According to science, however, I am a child of the universe - an animated stardust - able to reflect on the nature of the universe. I think science is closer to the truth. The existence of God has never been proved. The existence of the stars are all out there. The stars do not threaten me with eternal punishment if I did not believe that I am made of star staff. Poch Suzara

Laws of God

Under our system of education especially during the formative years - we were taught more about the laws of God than we were exposed to the laws of nature. Indeed, in class, we hardly had science; only more on the subject of religion based on theology which is the study of nothing or the unknowable. It is no wonder that in the Philippines, as college educated men and women - we are all good; unfortunately for our country's growth and development, all good for nothing. Poch Suzara

Faith in divine Stupidity

Due to our faith in the power of divinity, we have, during the past centuries, built more churches and cathedrals than we have built public libraries in every Barrio throughout the country. This simply means that we have more faith in monuments to human stupidity than we have reliance on monuments to human intelligence. Poch Suzara

Typical Filipino Attitude

Typical Filipino attitude - "Let's just do our best, and leave with the God to do the rest." Well, since God has the power, the kingdom, and the glory, and we Filipinos have nothing, the best that we can do is precisely what we have been doing every day and night during the last four centuries: kneel down and pray to God for the eternal salvation of our poor and lost souls. Poch Suzara

Mindless Men and Heartless Women

There is always hope in any sick society. But only if there were also healthy minds and hearts. But if the men were mindless and the women heartless, everything becomes hopeless. Thus, our hopeless situation in the Philippines. Especially when our system of education has more to do with being aimless as a people and directionless as a nation. Poch Suzara

Intellectual Cowards

Schools, colleges, and universities in the Philipines are in the business of producing corwards; especially intellectual cowards. Indeed, when college graduates of this country are scared to think, or frightened with new and fresh ideas, the most that they can enjoy is the freedom to enjoy infantile pursuits. Poch Suzara

Let us Die Sober

I will certainly die one day soon. I should wish, however, to die sober accepting the end of my metabolism. I do not wish to die drunk with the promises of Catholicism. Indeed, I look forward to the peace of sleeping eternally. I have no taste for life after death. I do not care to meet Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the rest of those silly bible characters. Most of all, I do not care to meet supernatural morons known as God and Satan.

I said it before, I say it again: Fuck divinity. Fuck deviltry. Fuck life after death! There is no human existence after death. With what eyes shall we see? With what ears shall we hear? With what nose shall we smell? With that palate shall we taste? With what skin shall we feel? With what sex organ shall we feel the pleasures of sex? Poch Suzara
In our sick society everybody's involved in the universal scramble for money: - to satisfy not only one's stupid greed, but also to amplify one's stupid creed. Poch suzara
Great is the freedom of religion. Greater is the freedom from religion. Greatest is the freedom of inquiry to promote rationality for the sake of establishing a sane society. Poch Suzara

Learning as an Endless Adventure

God's Chosen People

For my part, I have no interest whatsoever to become a Jew - God's Chosen people. I would rather be an Eskimo - God's Frozen people. Poch Suzara

Jesus Said

Jesus said:"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." So how come Adam and Eve knew not the truth since both were created not only perfect and free, but also gifted with a free will? Poch Suzara

Stupid Deviltry

What is the purpose of the freedom of religion as a gift from divinity if humanity only continues to struggle painfully daily against stupid deviltry? I said it before, I say it again: far more important than the freedom OF religion is something far more precious is the freedom FROM religion. Poch Suzara

Lies and Falsehood

The fear of hell has always been overwhelming. It has destroyed the spirit of free inquiry, promoted spiritual poverty, and discouraged intellectual liberty. It is indeed difficult for a child to grow up matured and responsible when he has to carry on his back the burden of lies and falsehood. Poch Suzara

Stupid Religion as Evil

In this world largely dominated by organized religion, we are born to be emotionally bothered, condemned to live with guilt and shame, if not intellectually retarded. We are even indoctrinated to die spiritually frightened. Thus, the greatest evil is the evil of stupid religion. Poch Suzara

Science - product of Human intelligence

Science is a product of human intelligence. In order to carry out its tasks to change our world of darkness into a better world of light - science has neither the time nor the energy to fool around with stupid religion - the product of human stupidity.

Indeed, religion as a product of human stupidity encourages, fearfully, more stupidity.
On the other hand, science as a product of human intelligence encourages, fearlessly
not only more intelligence, but also promotes more benevolence so that we may all reject divine grace, but learn instead to live creatively, peacefully, and nobly together as decent members of the human race. Poch Suzara
Scientific analysis expresses the assumption that we can take things apart and study the details in isolation in order to understand the whole. Poch Suzara

Man of Science

I would rather learn from a man of science awestruck by the beauty, subtlety, and majesty of the natural world than I would believe the man of religion dumbstruck with fear and ignorance in love with superstition. Poch Suzara

Original Talking Serpent

God readily blamed Eve for the Fall of Adam. God did not have the guts to blame the real culprit of the original mess: - The stupid devil in the shape of a Talking Serpent that got away scot-free. Poch Suzara

Silly Apple Tree

God was more worried about a silly apple tree than he was involved with the welfare and happiness and education of his first two kids. Specially to grow up precisely like a Noah the only man, according to Genesis, who found grace with God. Poch Suzara

Abandoned Women

God had the kindness to send an angel to assist a virgin, but he leaves abandoned millions of women and children to languish and to starve to death. No way will I ever love, worship, and adore such a worthless, a mean and a brutal God. Poch Suzara

God in the Koran

Another nice definition of insanity is found in the sacred Qu'ran: - "Never think that those who were slain in the cause of God are dead. They are alive and well provided for by the Lord." Poch Suzara

The Clearest Definition of the Sick Man of Asia

The clearest definition of the Sick Man of Asia is found in the New Testament of the Holy Bible: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, his mother, his wife, his children, his brethren, his sisters, and yea his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26 Poch Suzara

Religious Moron

Those who are afraid to read material that they think will contradict their religious beliefs are no better off that those who are afraid to read from cover to cover the holy bible. Poch Suzara

God and the Devil

Blessed are the peacemakers. They have finally realized that hate and wars are the effects of a silly belief in a silly God always in cahoots with a silly devil. Poch Suzara
