The cruelty from Jesus

Jesus seemed not familiar with the writings of the Old Testament.
He obviously did not know that His own father drowned the entire population of the world except for eight people. Otherwise, if Jesus were familiar with the killings, he was not fair to command: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all of thy heart, with all of thy soul, and with all of thy mind." For my part, I am nost proud to have walked out of the Catholic Church years ago. Specially when I discovered that Jesus himself was a misguided Catholic. Poch Suzara

If God were powerful

If God were indeed all that powerful, he surely is able to find a way to give the creatures he made in his image and likeness some of that power. In this way, we do not have to waste time praying to God to lead us not into temptation or to give us this day our daily bread or to worry about an anti-Christ situation on the rise in the Middle East.

Curse the Darkness

It is better to light up a candle than to curse the darkness. For my part, I am working daily to make my surroundings cleaner, healthier, and brighter. I have no need of candles. Poch Suzara

My teachers in La Salle

My teachers in La Salle were not devoted thinkers or passionate researchers of the truth. They were men afraid of new and fresh ideas. My education therefore was not a thrill or a joy, but in fact a threat. Indeed, in school, I was never taught how to think; only what to believe. It was always impressed upon my malleable mind that the frontiers of knowledge are closed. How utterly wrong and pathetic were my teachers in school. But I cried more not my teachers, but for all my classmates and schoolmates. None apparently saw the painful light as I alarmingly did. Poch Suzara

Jesus said

In the bible Jesus said: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Is it any wonder that we do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world? As a matter of fact, we hate the world and hate the things that are in the world, specially as we are faithful Catholics devoted to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Poch Suzara

If you were miserably married

If you were miserably married to your husband, and God had him killed, you would obviously believe that God's grace never ends. Such was the case of Gracie Burnham, whose husband was killed by bandits in a kidnap ordeal in Mindanao. She admitted openly and publicly that: God's grace never ends." Poch Suzara

Nature cares for Man

The universe may go on uncaring and unknowing of the existence of man. But nature cares. After all, man is a product of nature as it proceeds to be conscious of itself. Nature evolves not aimlessly or purposelessly, but precisely meaningfully for nature created the human mind. Poch Suzara

Religious Leaders

Religious leaders such as Mike Velarde of El Shaddai would urge his poor followers to turn their umbrella upside down in order to catch manna from heaven. What the followers do catch, however, is not manna, not even rotten banana, but a lot of tra-la-la behind the silly religious drama. Poch Suzara

My mind is not a terrible thing

My mind is not a terrible thing. On the contrary, my mind is a wonderful thing. It is only terrible when the potentials of my
mind are utterly wasted. Poch Suzara

I care for Happines

I care for happiness in this world. I do not care for happiness in the next world. There ins't any. Whatever the case may be, I hold
as forever true what Bertrand Russell wrote: "Happiness is the nonethelesss true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting. Poch Suzara

Nothing before Birth and Nothing After Death

It does not bother to realize that I have arrived into this world as an atheist. I should be happier when I leave this world one day as an atheist too. Before I was conceived, without a brain, I had no capacity to believe. After I am dead, and my brain dead also, I will again have no capacity to believe. Indeed, if it does not bother me to believe that I was a nothing before I was born, why should it bother me to believe that I will again be a nothing after I am dead? Poch Suzara

I have Nothing Against

I have nothing against Filipino scientists except when they are too timid to speak out openly against false values and silly beliefs that continue to promote not only stupidity but also insanity in our already sick society. Poch Suzara

What is the difference?

What is the difference between human creed and human greed when one destroys the body and the other destroys the mind? Poch Suzara

The Human Brain

If God gifted us with a brain and expect us to use it, how come our knowledge of God have not grown with more knowledge of his creation? Indeed, even the theologians in this day and age know not whether God is a He, a She, and It; or, whether Gid a supernatural Tootie Frootie, or just an Almighty Patootie. Poch Suzara

A silly God

Why would a good God incarnate himself as a man knowing full well that man is essentially sinful by nature? But then again, why would God reveal himself to the theologians knowing full well that theology is not a branch of knowledge; it is but a branch of ignorance and with wings at that. Poch Suzara

Science in brief

Science in brief: - today's up-to-date is tomorrow's out-of-date. Indeed, nothing is definite in science as it's findings are tentative and always subject to change or emendations. Poch Suzara

Philippine Presidents

At the rate all presidents of the Philippines, past and present, have prayed for divine intervention to solve the nation's troubles and problems, Malacanang has been transformed into a cathedral, and no longer a presidential palace. Poch Suzara

Atheists

I have the highest respect, the greatest of admiration, and the deepest affection for the atheists. To begin with, those atheistic friends and atheistic associates of mine are not in Congress. Poch Suzara

Religion and Alzheimer's

Religion is like a disease, exactly like alzheimer's - it destroys the mind. Happily, both evils are curable by science. Poch Suzara

Metaphysics and Religion

Metaphysics and religion are one and the same thing. One is beyond physics and the other beyond reality. It's comforting to believe in either just as long as one does not discover that both metaphysics and religion are based on a lot of unscientific nonsense. Poch Suzara

Jesuit Astronomers

Jesuit astronomers say that astronomy is the study of the universe in order to find God. Apparently, these Jesuit astronomers do not believe that God is here, there, and everywhere. Poch Suzara

Wealthy individuals

There is no such thing as wealthy individuals in the Philippines. Despite their millions, Christianity has stolen away from such wealthy individuals their precious minds and precious hearts.They are just as poor as everyone else in this God-forsaken only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara

Our democracy Without Science

Our democracy is a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony. It has yet to flourish in a climate of rationalism that sees ideas and beliefs as true and others as false. Science needs democracy as much as democracy needs science. The two in fact are one and neither exist in the Philippines.

A democracy without science, encourages the cult of mediocrity, fosters vulgarity, generates political stupidity, and enhances infantile religiosity. In the end, what prevails is social insanity, hardly a democracy. Poch Suzara

Theologians tell me

Theologians say that the human body is a temple of God. No kidding?. Right at this very minute there are about 2 billion different kinds of viruses, germs, and bacteria trying to kill your body and my body and such little creatures created by God will eventually succeed to kill us all whether we pray or do not pray to God. Indeed, the day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. There is no escape! None whatsoever! Poch Suzara

God's design

If my pair of eyes were such that it is a product of God's design, I would have no need for a microscope to see things in the small; or, a telescope to see things far away. Science, and not religion, designed the microscope and the telescope. Poch Suzara

No Kingdom

No kingdom has ever had more hate and misery and poverty than the kingdom of Christ. Such is the case in the Philippines. In this only Christian country in Asia, in order to enter the kingdom of Christ, one must use the gates of hell. Poch Suzara

Think of It

Think of it: Our national hero Jose Rizal earned his first class education and earned his membership in first class scientific associations in foreign countries. Poch Suzara

What science cannot discover

What science cannot discover, religion cannot know. In this connection, it will not be religion, but science eventually will discover God, if in fact there is a God. As for religion, it will remain forever a nothing but an unsubstantiated superstition. Poch Suzara

Believers hating other believers

At the rate Christians unhappily hate other Christians, Muslims unhappily hate other Muslims, The Jews unhappily hate other Jews; and the Christians and the Muslims and the Jews all unhappily hate each other, I am most proud and always happy to be an atheist. I have no need to believe and to have faith in the religious monkey that is suppose to be mysteriously existing on my shoulders. Poch Suzara

Guns do not kill people

Not everyone has a gun; but everyone has a doctor. Guns do not kill people; doctors do. In fact, doctors make tons of money off the dying. Poch Suzara

The existence of God

I cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. If God exists however, I do not care love, worship, and adore such a God. I am part of what is natural. I know nothing of the supernatural. How
can I love, worship, and adore something I know nothing about? Poch Suzara

Harmful beliefs

The most harmful of beliefs is belief in God. We hate those who do not believe in the same God as we do. Thus, the Christians, Muslims, and the Jews have not ceased hating each other in God's name or in Allah's name or in Jehovah's name. Poch Suzara

The only Pill

The only pill the Catholic Church approves of in the Philippines is the sleeping pill. In this way, nobody wakes up to the stupidity behind our social insanity perpetually ongoing in this God-forsaken country. Poch Suzara

To the average Pinoy

To the average Pinoy the power of knowledge means nothing, but the power of God means everything. Then we could not even wonder why in this 21st century we are still living in a Third World country deprived of science and the scientific way of thinking. Poch Suzara

I love philosophy and the Bible

I love philosophy as there is no such thing as the revealed truth in philosophy. In fact, philosophy is still searching for the truth. But I love the holy bible even more. It contains so many revealed truths even if such truths have not yet been revealed. Poch Suzara

Our present problems

Our present problems are the products of our present consciousness; but consciousness that create problems cannot solve them. Only a higher degree of consciousness especially with the scientific way of thinking can do that and until that is attained, we shall remain victims of our own stupid problems. Poch Suzara

Free Will Garbage

Most people brag about having free will. They have yet, however, to be liberated from it. How can we ever discover the truth if during our formative years in grade school we were told to believe that the truth has already been revealed as written by inspired authors of God in the holy bible? Poch suzara

Jesus

According to the Good News bible, Jesus sacrificed himself to die on the cross for the sins of mankind. According to the Bad News bible, Jesus resurrected back to life. Where is the sacrifice? Well, according to the Catholic bible, Jesus was neither killed by the Jews nor by the Romans but by men all precisely created in the image and likeness of God. And to think Jesus never really died as he resurrected back to life. Poch Suzara

Olympic Games

Too bad there are no Olympic games for lies, graft and corruption. Our top politicians in government and our top officials of the Christian churches should easily be the winners for Gold, silver, and bronze Medals. Poch Suzara
