The Filipino - Poorest people in Asia

According to a UN-Habitat report, over 20 million Filipinos in the Philippines live in slums, and in Metro Manila alone. There are more than 800,000 Pinays working as prostitutes in Metro Manila. Many of them are underage. In the meantime, because we have no national health care system an average of 52 Pinays die every 24 hours from pregnancy-related causes. According to the Asian Development Bank, over 25 million Filipinos don’t have access to the basic sanitation afforded by toilet facilities; another 13 million don’t have proper water resources - without plumbing or communal water taps, many rely on creek water and deep wells which can often be unsafe for human consumption. Poverty cannot be measured in pesos and centavos alone. Poverty must be viewed from a larger, deeper, if not a wider perspective: social, political, spiritual, cultural, educational, environmental; and indeed, poverty in science and technology. We are, indeed, the poorest people in Asia. Consider: We are rudderless as people; directionless as a nation. We have no love for our country. None are rich in spirit. We have no respect for law and order. We have no sense of the future of our nation's children. In brief, we have nothing great going on for us Filipinos - except God, and his Son Jesus; Mary, the Mother of God; and of course the Pope who is not even a Filipino. Surely, millions of Filipinos feel God has blessed them. In fact, we are taught in schools, colleges, and universities to always believe what Jesus declared: "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE POOR IN SPIRIT, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN." In the ultimate analysis, millions of us filipino share something great in common together: For the love of Jesus up there, we are all poor in spirit down here!

Love and Sex and Books

A man gives love in order to get sex. A woman gives sex in order to get love. Trouble begins when the woman needs not more thinking, exploring, learning, discovering, questioning, and reading; but needs only more loving, more praying, more financing, and indeed, more fucking. Each time I had that kind of a silly relationship with a tootie-frootie, I went back home to be with my one and only real love in this world: love of books! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Who Gives a Hoot about our Scientists and Technologists

Sept.27, 2-12 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sir: In our sick society, in order to maintain ourselves famous worldwide as the Sick Man of Asia - we are far more fascinated with the works of our manicurists, pedicurists, hair-stylists, florists, and indeed, the catechists and the exorcists. We couldn't give a hoot about the works of Filipino scientists and technologists to rescue our sick country out of its poverty, religious misery, political stupidity, and social insanity! And to think that as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, in this already 21st century - we still faithfully believe that God has always blessed our poor and backward country! Sincerely, Poch Suzara

Rotten Truth Revealed in the Bible

Listen to this rotten truth revealed by GOD, THE FATHER: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45:7 Listen to this rotten truth revealed by JESUS, THE SON GOD: “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matt 10:34-37 Listen to this rotten truth revealed by the Holy Spirit of the Holy Trinity: "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Matt 12:31 I asked it before, I ask it again: My dear reader, do you now understand why as the only Christian country in Asia, we Filipinos are the only ones who are spiritually twisted as a people and morally distorted as a nation? To begin with, millions of us do not bother to read the bible. When, however, we do read it, and do not understand its rotten verses - we have been frightened to believe that such rotten verses are really morsels of divine wisdom! In the meantime, schools, colleges, and universities teach millions upon millions of Filipinos to defend and protect the Philippines not that she is a free and independent as a Republic, but that she is, more than anything else, historically, a Catholic country. For my part, as one born in the Philippines some 79 years ago, for love of my country, I would rather be atheistic. I do not care to be a Catholic. I have no taste for anything satanic, nor do I care to swallow anything theocratic! Poch Suzara

A man of Reason versus a Man of Faith

A man of reason is a sober, intelligent man who has neither the taste for lies nor the gumption for deception. A man of faith, however, is like a drunkard dummy who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination! Poch Suzara

Ye, Escape the Damnation of Hell for Jesus

Jesus, in the bible, shouts: "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell!" Matthew 23:33 If Jesus were alive today in the Philippines, he would shout at the same: Ye Catholic Bishops, Ye Bro. Eli Soriano of Dating Daan, Ye Bro. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Ye Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement, Ye Bro. Eduardo Manalo of Iglesia Ni Cristo, Ye Brothers of the United Church of Christ, Ye preachers of the 700 Club Prayer Center, and Ye, you owners of La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, UST, Assumption college, AIM, Letran, Miriam college, and University of the Philippines - how can ye all escape the DAMNATION OF HELL! Oh yes, ye sinners and criminals and thieves, you should all listen to yourselves on TV daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - hurling HATE at against each other down here for the glory of Jesus up there! While millions of Filipinos remain NOT as the rich and brightened masters, but as the poor and frightened victims of Christianity in the Philippines since the 16th century. Indeed, for Christ's sake, millions of us Filipinos continue to be the victims of poverty of the worst kind: the poverty of the mind and heart - preventing us, historically, to live the good life in our own country - one inspired by the power of love and guided by the power of knowledge!

My Job as a Senior Citizen

My letter published today in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Sept. 24, 2012: In human affairs, there are forces making for happiness, and forces making for misery. We do not know which will prevail, but to act wisely, we must be aware of both. - Bertrand Russell For my part, as a senior citizen, (75 years) I say old age, like any other age, is the time to struggle against lies and deceptions that keep us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people, and that keep the Philippines morally bankrupt as a nation. - Poch Suzara

Jesus Never Even Attended Grade School

Wow Bob Gabuna & Wow Tony Villan, I cut and paste from the works of great philosophers, scientists, leaders, and writers, not to mention books written by historians, anthropologists, sociologists, astronomers, biologists, psychiatrists, paleontologists, and physicists including famous mathematicians and logicians. In the meantime, you both just do nothing but parrot over and over again the words of a Jewish fellow who never even attended grade school - known as Jesus Christ. God, his silly Father, declared: "FOR IT IS WRITTEN, I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND WILL BRING TO NOTHING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRUDENT." 1 Cor.1:19. Hijo de su puta madre, conio! COME ON YOU GUYS, stop fucking around. INSTEAD, DO SOME THINKING - there is nothing quite like it in all of nature! Also, on these pages, I have already published my exact home address and have already invited you to visit me and my personal library. So please stop hiding and show yourselves. Show me not only your BALLS but also you BRAINS! Nakakahiya kayo mga ULOL! It is stupid religious jerks like you that keep the Filipino spiritually fucked as a people and keep the Philippines morally fucked as a nation! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON BOTH OF YOU COLLEGE-EDUCATED MORONS! Poch Suzara

The Concept of God is Unknowable

The belief that god is basically unknowable is the most important epistemological element of theistic belief. It is shared by all theists to some extent, who disagree only with regard to what degree, if any, god's nature can be known. We must remember that theism maintains not just that god's nature is unknown to man at the present time, but that god's nature is unknowable in principle. Man will never understand god, which is expressed by such terms as ineffable, inexpressible, transcendent, unfathomable, and indeed, incomprehensible. The most extreme version of this belief is religious agnosticism, which holds that the nature of god is completely unknowable... First, we must ask: If god cannot be known, how can god be known to exist? Quoting Nathaniel Branden, "To claim that a thing is unknowable, one must first know that it exists--but assert the existence of the unknowable is to claim knowledge of the unknowable, in which case it cannot be unknowable." Second, if god cannot be comprehended, then none of his attributes can be known--including the attribute of incomprehensibility. To state that something is by nature unknowable is to pronounce knowledge of its nature, in which case we are again involved in a contradiction. When one claims that something is unknowable, CAN ONE PRODUCE KNOWLEDGE IN SUPPORT OF THIS CLAIM? If one cannot, one's assertion is arbitrary and utterly without merit. If one can, one has accomplished the impossible: one has knowledge of the unknowable... To claim that god is incomprehensible is to say that one's concept of god is unintelligible, which is to confess that one does not know what one is talking about. The theist who is called upon to explain the content of his belief--and who then introduces the "unknowable" as a supposed characteristic of the concept itself--is saying, in effect: "I will explain the concept of god by pointing out that it cannot be explained." Atheists have long contended that the concept of god is unintelligible, this being a major reason why it cannot be accepted by any rational man. The theist who openly admits this cannot expect to be taken seriously. The idea of the unknowable is an insult to human intelligence, and it renders the beliefs of a theist not worth believing. Now let us assume that God became Jesus as Jesus is God. So how come Jesus never bothered to explain for the sake of human decency - the clarity of extraterrestrial complexity into intellectual simplicity to render complete understanding of the complexity for the whole of the humanity to grasp the reality of divinity, globally?

WHO OR WHAT IS GOD

Atheists: If You're Looking For A Miracle To Prove God Exists, How Do You Explain This? (published in GOOGLE) Scientists at NASA were plotting the positions of the Sun, Moon, and other planets 100 years from now, and 1,000 years from now, in order to calculate spacecraft trajectories. As the sophisticated government computers worked with the data fed into them, they suddenly and unexpectedly came to a grinding halt. Service technicians were called in, but were unable to find anything mechanically wrong. The computers, so the story goes, had discovered a day missing in time. No one knew why the computers were acting the way they were, or how to fix them. However, one scientist on the team had gone to Sunday school when he was a child, and, from the teaching he had received there, he recalled a story from the Old Testament in which God had made the Sun stand still for a day, or thereabouts. The other NASA engineers — profound disbelievers in God and His Word — ridiculed him for even suggesting that such “information” might provide a solution to their problem. However, the scientist turned to Joshua 10, and read the story. The engineers then reworked the data being fed into the computers, adding in the “lost day” of Joshua, and the computers whirred along perfectly — almost. The computers stopped again because they had not discovered a whole day; something was still missing. Apparently (so the story goes) the computers found only 23 hours and 20 minutes. In other words, 40 minutes were still missing. But, the scientist who had suggested that they look in the Bible for the answer in the first place once again suggested what might be the answer to this conundrum. He remembered something else he had been taught. In II Kings 20, the biblical record says that King Hezekiah, upon being promised a cure from his illness and thus a longer life, had requested a sign from God. The text indicates that God made the Sun move backwards ten degrees. Ten degrees, said the scientist, would be exactly 40 minutes! And that provided the entire 24-hour day the computers needed. The Bible had the answer all along! Note: NOW WHAT WE ATHEISTS NEED TO KNOW IS WHETHER GOD IS A CATHOLIC, A JEW, OR A MUSLIM, A MUGGLETONIAN, OR WHO KNOWS MAY BE GOD IS A POCHOLOGIAN? Poch Suzara

My Dear Jaime Calero

Jaime Calero, c/o De La Salle University Taft Ave., Manila Dear Mr. Jaime Calero, A history of culture, conceived in its widest sense, includes religion, politics, art, philosophy, science and technology. Ours is a failed culture because we have far more politics always in cahoots with religion together as a people than we do have art, philosophy, science, and technology as a nation. If this history of culture were too complicated for you to grasp, please allow me, as a high-school expelled student, to simplify the academic complexity for you: A nation that produces 3 babies every minute of the day and night or 1.5 million babies yearly is a nation that enjoys the culture of FUCKING, not the culture of THINKING. Ours, indeed, is a mindless culture. Protected and defended by the Thoughtless. We have no hope in science; especially as it is about the perfection of humanity. We only have faith in religion - the belief that rather than work for perfection we must only seek in this world obliteration via mutilation, if not by self-destruction. What is cultural in our country is not about the growth or development of the Philippines as a decent nation. What is cultural is the code of sexual behavior that would guarantee precisely the survival of Christianity in our country. The Christian priesthood industry left no stone unturned in their determination to convert the Pinay's female uterus into a baby factory to produce on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis - Christian babies. JAIME, I asked it before, I ask it again: how can we be a nation of readers, writers, reporters, explorers, researchers, discoverers, manufacturers, traders, importers, exporters, managers, workers, farmers, growers, planters, poultry-raisers, painters, carpenters, welders, plumbers, domestic-helpers, TV producers, movie directors, forest-rangers, law-enforcers, judges and lawyers, professors, and teachers - since, to begin with, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we are educated first and foremost to rely and to believe only on the power of stupid prayers? In the meantime, churches and cathedrals, shrines and crucifixes, and indeed, revealed truths in the holy bible that have yet to be revealed have all played crucial roles in molding the Filipino minds and hearts to be famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Jaime, for my part, as an atheist and a student of books since I was 14 years old, I have learned to live a life without fear of this or fear of that. In fact, I thank God that I have learned to become an atheist. After all, God himself is an atheist. God has no religion. God does not lead himself into temptation; nor does He pray to Mary, His mother, to always pray for Him. Cheers! Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati city, Philippines

Please - Let us be Honest with Ourselves

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: The fact is, a lot of you, are bothered and indeed shocked not because of my vulgar language or profanity, or blasphemy - but because I have been exposing in this venue TRUTHS that a lot of you could not believe are revealed as the Revealed Truth in the bible. So much so that you deny them or just mindlessly accuse me of not knowing how to read the bible under proper spiritual guidance by the holy spirit. My dear poor saps and jerks, more people have been killed in the name of Jesus Christ than any other name in the history of our world. Catholics and Protestants in the name of Jesus have been vilifying, attacking, torturing, bombing, and killing each other in Northern Ireland since the 14th century. Adolf Hitler killed more than 6 million Jews. In his famous book - MEIN KAMPF, he admitted: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty creator; by defending myself against the Jews, I am fighting for the Lord. . . I would like to thank providence and the almighty for choosing me of all people." "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so." "The LORD ѕаw hоw great man’s wickedness on the earth hаd become, аnd that everу inclination of thе thoughts оf his heart wаs onlу evil all the time.” Gen.6:5. In the meantime, it is utterly ridiculous for the Lord to have dismissed his own claim - He created man in his own image and likeness. I urge you all to seriously look around you and see millions of Filipinos, disciples of Jesus, how they have and still do substantiate daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly these words uttered by Jesus: "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26 As if those sacred words uttered by Jesus were not enough to make us famous as the Sick Man of Asia, here is more from Jesus, the beloved Savior of the Philippines: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." A lot of you people in this forum have already heard this from me, but again, I ask: Have any of you ever heard of a Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for believing that Jesus is BAD? So how come millions upon millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR and yet they all believe and have faith that Jesus is GOOD! Meanwhile, the rich Vatican Catholic bank is getting richer, in fact richer and far more powerful than the United States Federal Reserve Bank. I am, indeed, an atheist, and I challenge you - to please be honest with me as we should be honest towards each other! I may have my faults, but have I ever lied to any of you? Or worst - have I ever told any of you to hate your father and mother, hate your brothers and sisters, hate your sons and daughters, and yea, to hate even your own life as Jesus, in the bible, said you should hate in order to be his disciples and followers? Best wishes to all of you, Poch Suzara

Freedom Fighter and a Lover of Truth

Friends and relatives wonder why I am, as ever, still hostile against organized religion. Well, I am not friendly to disorganized religion either. As a lover of truth and a freedom fighter, I am against all forms of lies and deceptions - indeed -falsehoods known as God, angels, devils, heaven or hell or purgatory - the big business of organized superstition. Such evils have always been historically powerful, influential, tax-exempt, and traditional in passing on to innocent Filipino children too young to defend themselves in schools, colleges, and universities. Well, I am a senior citizen; but I still say, old age, like any other age, is the time to struggle away from silly biblical revelation. It is time to be involved with intelligent evolution. Indeed, human life on this earth should only be about the struggle for mankind to establish human decency locally and to enjoy terrestrial sanity globally. Indeed, to put away all that silly infantile business of divinity in cahoots forever with deviltry that promote nothing on this earth nothing but faith in human stupidity, endlessly. No doubt, it is a waste of time. I admit it is an impossible dream. But my dear reader, what about you - how do you waste your precious time? You are accomplishing WHAT in this God-forsaken world of ours? Brief, short, and fleeting as life is on this earth! Instead of looking forward to a better life to come after death, it makes more sense to try and leave this world a better place than how we found it. Not in the material, but in the humanitarian sense. Otherwise, there will be no reason for our having lived. In the meantime, today may be the last day of my life. Whatever or however the case may be, I am, as always, still happy singing loud and clear - my favorite song: "For, what is a man, what has he got, if not himself then he has not, to say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who knees, the record shows I took the blows, and did it MY WAY! It is, in this way, under down-to-earth inspiration that I continue to be a man of courage, vision, ambition, and revolution. Soon I will be dead, but that should be no reason for me to kneel down like a frightened moron down here to a silly God out there. I have more than enough reason to carry on my lifetime struggle against the evils of indoctrination, nay, biblical revelation that have made us directionless as a people and rudderless as a nation! I said it before, I say it again: it is time to recapture the most priceless treasure stolen away from us by schools, colleges, and universities - our most precious minds and precious hearts without which we could never learn to be the precious citizens of our own precious country.

Paradise Located in the Philippines

Millions of Filipinos do not know that paradise is located right here in Philippines. In fact, a thief was crucified with Jesus on the cross and Jesus said to him: "Today you will be with me in Paradise."Oh yes, the thief in paradise with Jesus decided to run for congress and won! Look at Jesus in our sick society - Jesus is still deeply loved and highly respected with much gratitude on top of our corrupt politicians ready and willing to forgive all kinds of sins and crimes by our sick politicians except the sin of unbelief!

On the Books Written By Bertrand Russell

"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."

Great Minds and Great Hearts

It is a sad state of affairs: only a great mind can duly recognize and fully acknowledge the existence of another great mind. What is even more pathetic, however, is our schools, colleges, and universities: they have been and still are in the Catholic business of producing little minds and little hearts to keep us little as a people and therefore little as a nation; especially for the greater glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven.

ATHEISM

"Everyone starts out being an atheist. No one is born with belief in anything. Infants are atheists until they are indoctrinated." - Andy Rooney Conscience is no inner voice from God. Conscience is merely the combined product of evolution and education. If one were to follow one’s conscience rather than reason, what follows is not only confusion, but also delusion. Atheism is the world of reason, reality, and freedom. Atheism is human concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious mind cannot begin to understand. And yet it is much more. Atheism is not an old religion, it is not a new and upcoming religious organization; it is not, in fact, and never has been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is magnificent in its simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity in a world victimized by insanity. Atheism rises above divinity. It is on top of humanity. There are no 'chosen people' in the Atheist philosophy. There are no bended knees in Atheism; No frightened followers; no supplications, no prayers; no doctrines; No sacrificial redemption, no eternal promises; No 'divine' revelations, no sacred writings; No washing in the blood of the lamb; No crusades, no massacres, no holy wars; No inquisition; no dogma, hogma, or pigma. No heaven, no hell, no purgatory, no limbo; No silly rewards, no vindictive punishments; No Christ, and no saviors; no I am who am; No burning bush, no talking donkey; No devils, no ghosts and no gods; No fear of silly divinity, only the courage to work for the good of humanity and to struggle only for the spread of human decency. YES, I AM AN ATHEIST AND PROUD TO BE ONE. I WAS BORN AN ATHEIST AND I SHALL DIE AS AN ATHEIST. There are no other options. No other choices. It is impossible to believe in God while coming out of mother’s womb. It is equally impossible to believe in God while is going out and leaving this world dead and gone. In the meantime, I am most proud and happy to publicly admit that I am a part of Atheism - a worldwide movement today with no followers. Indeed, we atheists we all leaders - especially of our own destiny. Poch Suzara

Open Letter to the Catholic Bishops on House Bill 4244

September 1, 2012 Open Letter to Rev. Gabriel V. Reyes, D.D. Chairman, Episcopal Commission On family and Life Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines My dear Rev. Gabriel V. Reyes, It is incredible how you and the rest of you Catholic Bishops are against the passage of the House Bill 4244 (Reproductive Health Bill). Such a Bill could greatly help promote daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly the practice of family planning and Birth control measures among the 100 million Filipinos now populating the Philippines. Hopefully to reduce considerably the 3 babies born every minute or 1.8 million babies born yearly and indeed, needlessly in our poor and backward country. My dear Catholic Bishops, why can't we Filipinos imitate God? God himself practiced family planning and birth control measures. With the Virgin Mary, He had begotten only one Son, didn't He? Yours Sincerely, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati City
