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.

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. Poch Suzara

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

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

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

If evolution were true and man evolved from apes, how come there are apes who are still apes? It's the same reason how I evolved from a catholic into being a freethinker and there are catholics who are still catholics. Poch Suzara

Any belief, sacred or otherwise, that leads to human stupidity must be corageously rejected, if not outrageously opposed. Poch Suzara

God and Evil

If God and the devil were always cahoots together doing evil on this earth, what difference does it make as where exactly evil comes from? Poch Suzara

Science

Science exists for the sake of life and the living. Religion exists for the sake of the dead and the dying. Poch Suzara
