As a Senior Citizen and Near the End of my Life

As a senior citizen and near the end of my life I say: I thank God I am still an atheist. I also thank God that ever since I was got myself expelled out of La Salle high school,  I am still happy and proud enjoying not the freedom OF, but the freedom away FROM silly religion.

In the meantime, I could only repeat what Mark Twain - one of my favorite authors - wrote about death: "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."  Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter# Atheist#

The Truth

 Jesus says in John 8:32, "The truth shall set you free". The reverse is also true—error binds you. As an aside, the truth 
can also hurt people; but not as much as lies have not only ruined the lives of millions of people and the damage goes on for centuries. Look at the religious lies that have kept the Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and has kept the Philippines sick, insane,  backward, and corrupt as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century.  - Poch Suzara

Keep Away from little people who Belittle Your Atheism

"Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always
do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." 

                                                                                                           Mark Twain

For my part, I keep away from little people who belittle atheism. Specially those 
college educated men and women who tell me that I must never identify myself publicly 
that I am an atheist. Well,  as a high school expelled student, I am not only proud to admit publicly that  I am an atheist; I am even more proud to admit to anyone that I am the Father 
of Atheism in the Philippines.

 Many believers like to believe that atheism  is a form of neurotic rebellion or a mental
illness. The believers cannot get rid of atheism  by committing them to an insane asylum  
where they can be ignored. To label, however, atheism as a mental illness is not only childish
nonsense; it is also a laughable attempt to evade the question of veracity and falsity.
IS THEISM TRUE? WHAT REASONS ARE THERE FOR BELIEVING IN A GOD?
These are the important questions and these are the issues that the theist must address
himself if he has hopes to challenge the reality behind atheism. 

The believer who attempts to defeat atheism by degradation, indeed, by subordinating 
truth to emotionalism accomplishes nothing, aside from revealing his contempt for man's ability to think!

Our Sick Values and Sick Beliefs Under a Sick Religion

If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and ye, his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 - - - Jesus Christ

 

"I would like the Filipino to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive." - - - Jose Rizal, a heretic publicly executed at Luneta Dec. 30, 1896

 

"The death sentence is a necessary and efficacious means for the church to attain its ends when obstinate heretics disturb the  ecclesiastical order." - - - Pope Leo X111

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly that Christianity has  a vested interest in human misery. Christianity, perhaps more than any religion before or since, capitalized on human suffering; and it was enormously successful in insuring its own existence through the perpetuation of human suffering."

Indeed, "Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation."  - - - George H. Smith

You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races,

or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately
that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world. - - -Bertrand Russell

"If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane." - - - Robert Ingersoll

For my part, I said it before, I say it again: in this already 21st century, it is time for us Filipinos in the Philippines as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century to take a very serious look at our sick country dominated

not with love for one another down here, but only ruled with hate of each other for the sake of a divinity up there! - - - Poch Suzara

Religious Garbage

It is said that there are only two things certain

in life: death and taxes. But I'd like to add a third certainty:  garbage. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing garbage out of this world; especially religious garbage mostly based upon lies, deceptions, illusions, delusions, and confusions. - - - Poch Suzara

Not Illegal Drugs, but Legalized Politics and Legalized Religion

What has kept the Philippines historically sick and poor and backward as a nation is not only illegal drugs, but also, especially, legalized politics, and legalized religion. Historically, both evils have always been in cahoots as partners together; especially in keeping the Filipinos sick as a people always frightened, if not always unenlightened under a sick system of education.  Indeed, during our childhood years, in school and at home, we were all taught to believe that no matter what our sins or what our crimes, there is always available from God, at any time, His forgiveness of sins and crimes. --- Poch Suzara Google# Twitter# Facebook#

The Lies Told about God Has Faithfully Blessed America for over 200 years!

The truth is often dreadful, lies are generally delightful. We love lies. The nature of lies is to please. Truth has no concern for anyone's comfort; in fact, the truth hurts, but lies are far more damaging and last can for a thousand

years.

For my part, as an American citizen, and in my search of the truth, I refuse to believe the lies told about how God has faithfully blessed America for over 200 years; specially together with the sick, greedy, rotten, and corrupt politicians behind the Military-Industrial-University Complex of the USA.
