The Truth Shall Make You Free
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32. . . On the contrary, as a matter of truth, only those
who enjoy the freedom of thought will know something of the truth. Never, however, will know the whole truth. The whole truth has yet to be discovered. In the meantime, the good life can only be lived not in a sick society, only in a healthy society. . . Thanks however
to the millions of Filipinos with college education as products of Catholic universities we Filipinos are proud to live in a sick society as we are famous as the Sick man of Asia down here; specially for the greater glory of Jesus up there... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Poch, how do you know your reasoning is valid to even one percent?
Ken, how do you know that you know this or that you know that, but you do not yet know what "KNOWING" means? In the meantime, my dear Ken, I know that my reason is 100% valid because reason is always better than faith. A man of faith is a like a drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination. Cheers, Poch Suzara
Poch, you said in your post that never can anyone know the whole truth, even those who enjoy freedom of thought. How then can we know that what you said is completely true or 100% valid in light of what you admitted?
Ken, are you really that intellectually impoverished in the subject of philosophy? Let me quote Bertrand Russell for you: "TO TEACH HOW LIVE WITHOUT CERTAINTY, AND YET WITHOUT BEING PARALYZED BY HESITATION, IS PERHAPS THE CHIEF THING THAT PHILOSOPHY, IN OUR AGE, CAN STILL DO FOR THOSE WHO STUDY IT." Cheers! Poch Suzara
Bertrand Russell himself said, "Nothing can penetrate the loneliness of the human heart except the highest intensity of the sort of love the religious teachers have preached." -The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell, 1967
His daughter wrote openly about him in her 1975 book, My Father, Bertrand Russell: Somewhere in the back of my father's mind, at the bottom of his heart, in the depths of his soul, there was an empty space that had once been filled with God, and he never found anything else to put in it...Nevertheless, I picked up the yearning from him, together with his ghostlike feeling of not belonging, of having no home in this world. - Katherine Tait, My Father, Bertrand Russell
Ken, how do you that those religious teachers who taught you about the existence of God knew what exactly they were talking about? How did they prove to you that God is a Catholic, not a Muslim or a Moron of a Mormon, etc. Cheers! Poch
