Intelligent Discussion
What danger is there from an intelligent discussion or intelligent inquiry or from intelligent reading? The worst that can happen to you is that you will be on the road with a mind moving not on hinges, but on wheels. Poch Suzara
Revealed Truths
God may have revealed the truth to Moses in the Old Testament; and may have revealed the truth to Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John in the New Testament. But until God reveals the truth to me, I do not care to participate in the Christian scheme of hand me down used information. Indeed, revelation is a direct communication; it has nothing to do with second-hand or third-hand information. Poch Suzara
Leave the school alone
Religion and politics should get out of schools and schools should get out of politics and religion. Schools should be about nothing but the development of the scientific habit of mind. Poch Suzara
God-inspired Authors
The God-inspired authors of the bible were a sorry lot. They had no access to a microscope to write anything truthful about the smaller realities of life down here. They also had no access to a telescope to write anything truthful about the larger realities of life out there. All they had access to was horoscope to inspire them write anything truthful yet to be revealed to each and every one of us not as a second or third hand information, but direct revelation. Poch Suzara
Unworthy God
What kind of a God is that who creates faulty human beings and then blames them for their fault? It is even called "original sin." But what could be more original than the original creator? In the meantime, if men were such little devils in the eyes of God, why did God create man in of his own image and likeness? For my part, such a creator is worthy of neither love, respect, nor devotion. Poch Suzara

The Scientist
The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance, doubt, and uncertainty. Fortunately, the scientific way of thinking is not the monopoly of the scientist. We too, ordinary men and women, can enjoy the scientific way of thinking and learn to deal with our own ignorance, doubt, and uncertainty as we must all be involved in the search for the truth.Poch Suzara
Need Not Waste Time
If we could only learn to see not far, but near - the future. If we could only learn to be happy here and now. If we could only learn to live in peace and harmony together as one happy family. We need not waste precious time and energy preparing for the next life as there isn't any. Poch Suzara
Our Sick Society
Ours is a sick society because of our sick beliefs and sick values.We think so big of the man of material wealth, but we think so little of the man of mental health. In fact, we do not think at all. We leave all our troubles and problems in the hand of God. As if God has a hand. Poch Suzara
Saddest Day of my Life
Today is the saddest day of my life. It just dawned on me that I should be the one to pray to God to help my friends and relatives develop the habit of critical reading and thinking. Poch Suzara
MAN differs from an ANIMAL
Man differs from an animal only by a little. "Most men," said Confucius, "throw that little away." Indeed, dominated by a silly theology, most men throw away their sense for common human decency to elevate humanity. Like frightened faithfools, they would rather please a silly divinity in hell always blessed by a stupid deviltry in heaven. Poch Suzara
Poverty-stricken Filipinos
Millions of poverty-stricken Filipinos love, worship, and adore God who, we are told, has been and still is well-established in his eternal state of divine perfection. I should think, however, that aside from a good will, God might also, with the help of His own free will, duly reciprocate the Filipino affection. Poch Suzara

Religious people
Religious People turn to religion because, according to them, science has dismally failed to answer all of their fundamental questions. If religion, however, has been and still under the inspiration of all-knowing God, why should religious people bother with science in the first place? Poch Suzara

If you were already confused
If you were already confused and want to enjoy even more confusion, read the bible. It has yet to be clear, for example, as to where exactly Jesus Christ was crucified n a cross or whether he was hang on a tree. In Matt. 23:33 Jesus was crucified on a cross in Golgotha. In Acts 5:30 Jesus was hang on a tree. In Revelation 11:18 Jesus was also crucified in Sodom and Egypt. Poch Suzara
I believe in Free Will
Of course I believe in free Will. I have to. I have no other choice as I am even stuck with it. In the meantime, for me to believe that I can control the flow of blood inside my veins is just as ludicrous for me to believe that I can also control the flow of beliefs inside my head. Poch Suzara
The All-knowing God
If the Christian God were all-knowing, how come the Christian theologians do not know all the answers? And worse, how come in the Christian community everybody lives in fear of the unknown? Poch Suzara
The American Power
In order to prove to the world that the USA is the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world, the American government would search not for friendly nations, but search only for enemies to destroy with its wealth and military power. Poch Suzara

God Proud of Man
In the Old Testament, God repented that He had made man because man was wicked and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil (Genesis 6:5-6). In the New testament, as man crucified His only begotten Son on the cross, God again must duly have repented that He had made man. Ever since then however, as the Christians and the Jews and the Muslims have not ceased to hate and kill each other in God's name, how could God not be so happy and not be so proud to have made man on this earth? Poch Suzara
I envy the Animals
I envy the animals. They do not have to go to school to learn how to love, worship and adore God. They do not have to learn how to be greedy, selfish, stupid and insane. But I envy animals even more because I do not see them in church praying to God for the forgiveness of their sins and crimes. Exactly what our politicians and theologians do every Sunday in church. Poch Suzara
Weird Things to Believe
If people believe in weird things, it is only because they have not been taught HOW to think; only WHAT to believe. Poch Suzara
A Good Society
A good society must be progressive. It must lead on to better values and better beliefs. Indeed, progress is utterly worthless unless it means progress in the scientific way of thinking where, in our ever changing world, questions become far more valuable than the answers.

Mess in our World
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have not ceased making a mess of our world. Each of this great religions have not ceased promoting hate of the other; hate of this life; and hate of this world. Indeed, we live in a sick world because of sick beliefs and sick values. Throw all these sacred nonsense out the window and with the help of science, we can have all the opportunity to transform this world, our world - into
an earthly paradise. In the meantime, it is often ask: can science and religion merge? I say Yes, they can; but before the merger can seriously take place, religion must first merge with other religions. The Christians, Muslims, and the Jews have not ceased cutting each other’s throats because, to begin with, they cannot religiously agree as to what will happen to them after their stupid throats are cut.

Mad World
I was created into this mad world not of my own making; and the theologians have the gall to tell me that I must be grateful to my creator for having gifted me born with a free will. But Billions upon billions of people before me have also been born with a free will, and so, what kind of religious bunkum are the theologians saying to me? Poch Suzara
Science is True only
People tell me that "science" is only true in its own way. "Theology" could just as readily be "true" in another. Unfortunately in the subject of theology, there is room for confusion. In science, the search for clarity and consistency is never a delusion. Poch Suzara

The Wisdom of the Wise
From genesis in the Old Testament up to revelation in the New Testament including all the way up to our age of science and technology, God has not ceased still trying hard to deliver the promise that he had made for mankind since Adam and Eve: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." (Corinthians 1:19) No wonder Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have been among the best and the greatest of religions in the eyes of God Almighty. Poch Suzara
The Man of Faith
The man of faith cripples reason. This a lesser evil. The greater evil, however, is that the man of faith is like a drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support; not illumination. Poch Suzara
People Believe
People believe in weird things and wrongly so only because they have not been taught HOW to think, only taught WHAT to believe. Poch Suzara

Dirty politics and Dirty Religion
Dirty politics is just like dirty religion: both are generated by dirty lies. In this connection we should rather embrace science, especially the scientific way of thinking. Its values are based on the search of the truth while it debunks on the side religious lies as well as political lies. Poch Suzara
Afraid to Live
Not to be aware, involved, interested, concerned, and indeed not to live amount to exactly the same thing. In the meantime, those who are afraid to die, sadly, are also afraid to live. Poch Suzara
Life's Meaning
Life's meaning, if any, must found not outside, but inside one's self; just as much as there are billions of galaxies out there, the meaning of the world lies not outside, but inside our world. What is the purpose of meaning if it were not graspable inside our own minds and hearts? Poch Suzara
Sin brings Fear
"Sin brings fear, but confession brings freedom." Indeed, the freedom to commit more sins. Under this vicious circle, however, instead of assiduity behind rationality, only more daily stupidity. Poch Suzara
Travels in life
I am quite a success in my travels around the world and indeed around the sun yearly. Indeed, I have traveled 75 times around the sun 93 million miles from the Earth. And for free at that. I am, however, happier for my great mom. She has successfully traveled, as of last week, September 12, 2012, around the sun 99 times already and it looks life she will carry on the astronomical journey for a few more years yet to come. Poch Suzara
Thanks to Russell and Sagan
Thank you Bertrand Russell for assisting me recapture the most priceless treasure stolen away from me as a boy in school: my most precious mind. Thank you Carl Sagan for assisting me recapture another most precious thing stolen away from me as a little boy in school: my precious world. Indeed, this is our world. This world does not belong to non-human entities. The world belongs to us. Poch Suzara
Organized Religion
Organized religion are institutionalized superstition, shared confusion, a farrago of nonsense, and a tribal malevolence based on fear and ignorance. For my part, I thank God that just like you and everyone else, I too was born an atheist. How silly it would have been if any of us had come out of our mother's womb bringing along with us the holy bible while singing the "Ave Maria." Poch Suzara

If Ignorance is Bliss
If ignorance is bliss why is there so much misery in our sick society under the management of college graduates from the most prestigious universities established in the Philippines with Christian beliefs and inspired by Christian values? Poch Suzara
If God Exist
I should think that if God exist, it would be far more beneficial for God to believe in us rather than for us to believe in Him. After all, God has the kingdom, the power, and the glory. We humans have nothing to offer God except perhaps our silly souls that have been created in his own mage and likeness! Poch Suzara
Beliefs are Worthless
Beliefs are utterly worthless unless they are based on facts. The curious thing about a fact, however, is that even if there is no one there to believe it, a fact will remain a fact. Poch Suzara
What is Success?
If success were what most men settle for since they are unable to think of something noble enough to be failing at, then I am most proud to be a failure in life. Indeed, I am still, however not yet successfully, though somehow happily, trying to rescue men and women and children up and out from the quagmire of superstition. Poch Suzara
Our Ancestors
Our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents all in their time faithfully believed in the Second coming of Christ. Must we also encourage our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to

The Philippine government
The function of the Philippine government is not about public service; on the contrary, it is more about public disservice. To begin with, government officials habitually give the public impression that they are the masters, and not the public servants of the people, by the people, and for the people. Poch Suzara
Religious Fanatics
In God's name, and since time immemorial, there existed many religions in our world. Sadly, even up to today, religions hate each other daily and at war against the other yearly. Hopefully, God must no longer be repenting that He had made man on earth. After all, in the ultimate analysis, God made man in his own image and likeness. Poch Suzara
Ignorance and Free Will
Ignorance leads to fear. Fear leads to superstition. Superstition leads to sacred belief. Sacred belief leads to faith. Faith leads to sacred lies. Sacred lies lead back to ignorance. It is all about a merry-go-round called "Free Will." Poch Suzara
Philippine Institutions
Our government and other established institutions are managed by men and women with college degrees from prestigious universities in the Philippines. As a high-school dropout, I am most proud to be fully aware that I play no part in the daily mess that's actually keeping the Filipino poor as a people and the Philippines backward as a nation. Poch Suzara
If Men were polygamous
If men were polygamous, how come prostitution throughout the centuries has been an exclusive service rendered by women and not by men? Poch Suzara
No One is Perfect
The bible says: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is in heaven is perfect." Matt. 5:48. For my part, as he made my life simpler, I would rather listen to Bertrand Russell who, with all honesty, admitted: "No one is perfect, and we should not be bothered by the fact that we are not perfect." Poch Suzara
Philippine Elections
In our elections, the candidates are even willing to kill each other in order to win a high position in the Philippine government. After all, one of the greatest thrills that life has to offer is the joy of being able to spend recklessly money that does not belong to you. Poch Suzara
Atheism and its history
In the history of atheism, no atheist has ever hanged, drowned, tortured, imprisoned, shot, killed, executed, or burned at the stake others for being an atheist. In fact, there has never been a war declared by atheists against other atheists. Indeed, in the atheistic philosophy, we have no such thing as the Chosen Atheists of the Godless. We have no belief system and that is why we do not have to hate others who do not believe in the existence of God. Indeed, we atheists do not cut each other's throat because we have no disagreement as to what exactly happens to people after their throats have been cut. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
I Am Told
I am told that the United States of America is the most richest and most powerful country in the world because the Americans believe in God. But if this were true, how come the Philippines is one of the poorest and most backward countries in the world despite the fact that we Filipinos do not only believe, but also love, worship, and adore God? In fact, in this God-forsaken country, we all love God up there by hating each other down here. Poch Suzara
Shocked
Most people were shocked to hear Columbus say that the world is round, and not flat. Today, my friends and relatives are equally shocked with me. They are saying to me that I should change my attitude and stop insisting that we are destroying our round world with our flat silly values and flat silly beliefs. Poch Suzara
Most Men
Most people prefer to cling to what they know and not to what they must learn. Yet, the progress of human society is mostly depended on learning; and not just on knowing. Poch Suzara
Being Dead
The problem with being dead is that you would not know that you are already dead. How would you therefore know anything about being alive in the next world if in fact there is any? The famous high school dropout writer H.L. Mencken explained life after: "immorality is the condition of a dead man who does not know that he is dead." Poch Suzara
In All of Nature
In all of nature and its beauty, only one stands out naturally ugly and obscene - RELIGION. Sacred beliefs have yet to inspire men away from cutting each other's throat for the glory of the supernatural; specially as religious men cannot agree as to what will happen to them after their throats have been cut. Poch suzara
The Bible Commands
The holy bible commands that women bear children in pain and in sorrow. It simply means that mothers have no free will to ease the pain and suffering of child bearing as that is totally against the dictates of God's expressed divine will. Poch Suzara
Letter To Newsweek
Letter to Newsweek May 11/2004
Dear Sirs: Haven't you editors learned from the Philippines? As the only Christian country in Asia, we Filipinos love only two things: corruption and God. And due to corruption, we all love God up there by hating one another down here. Why are you proud to report that Christians are swelling in numbers in China today. Shame on you. And if your report were true, shame on China for now embracing beliefs and values that have kept Third World countries poor and backward.
Somebody ought to tell the newly converted Chinese Christians in China today that in the modern world today saving human minds and hearts is far more useful for the future of the human race than saving souls useless as a divine disgrace. Poch Suzara

Thanks To Science
Thanks to science, we have more knowledge of our world today than our grandfathers knew yesterday. Now isn't it rather silly when we have to believe in the sacred words uttered long ago by silly men who knew even much less? And to think that such inspired authors knew no more than their own ancestors did. Poch Suzara
How Can We Grow
How can we grow as a people when we are taught to believe that there is a better life to live in other foreign countries? How can we mature as a nation when we are also taught to believe that there is a better life to come in the next world? In the meantime, we are also taught that true freedom comes not from choosing our way, but yielding only to God's way. No wonder corruption, in this God-forsaken country, corruption is the not the worst, but the best part - of our culture. Poch Suzara
Religious Crackpots
Religious crackpots took advantage of the child in you to learn and to believe in childish nonsense. Today the same religious crackpots continue to pray for you not to grow up. In this way, they continue to take advantage of the child in you. It always works; especially since they never cease to tell you to have faith since you have no other choice but to believe in your own free will. Poch Suzara
Not One Filipino
Not one Filipino has ever become filthy rich for believing that God is bad; yet millions of Filipinos are filthy poor for believing that God that is good. Poch Suzara
As An Atheist
As an atheist, I am most proud to have robbed death of its terror. I may be afraid of dying; but I am not afraid of death. What is even more important, however, is that as soon as I abandoned love and respect for a divine grace, I eventually found grace in my heart to have more compassion to the plight of the human race. Poch Suzara
Free Will Nonsense
Most of us believe that we have free will; yet we have forgotten those school days, when we were not free at all to question our teachers who frightened us to believe that, whether we like or not, we had no other free choice but to believe in free will. For my part, I say, good will makes more sense than free will. After all, no one had the opportunity to freely choose not to be born at all; especially to be born in this mad world!

I Refuse To Believe
I refuse to believe in the power of prayer. According to the bible, Jesus too often prayed. But as a God himself, how come he could not answer his own prayer? Otherwise, if he could answer his own prayer, how come crucified on the cross, he cried out: "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Poch Suzara
The Scientific Way
If you wish to prove that the scientific way of thinking is worthless, all you have to do is to prove with evidence that "evidence" is just as worthless; especially in the search of the truth which is precisely what science is all about - the search of the truth. If you can find the truth, more, much more than a Nobel Prize awaits you. Poch Suzara
Blind Faith
All of us children in school we were taught to cherish blind faith. Today as grown-ups we are even blind enough not to see that, for the most part, our schools, colleges, and universities are commercial enterprises, and educational institutions. Indeed, if we were a people educated with a vision of the here and the now, and educated with the power of reason, we would be not only be one of the richest people, but also one of the most advanced countries in Asia today. Poch Suzara
Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell wrote: "One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certain are stupid and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision." For my part, I am most proud that I am always full of doubt. Bertrand Russell may not have taught me how to become a professional philosopher; but he taught me how to be no longer a vacillating creature by having confidence in my own precious mind before believing the mind of others. Poch Suzara
Science Honesty
Faith-healers, astrologers, phrenologists, palmists, fortune tellers, magicians, crystal-gazers, ghosts, angels, devils are the playmates of the psuedoscientists. On the other hand, the true playmates of the scientists are reality, nature, observation, experimentation, and being honest as scientists cannot afford to be dishonest in the scientific community. Poch Suzara
We Are What We Are
We are what we are as a people partly because of Vatican trash. We are what we are as a nation partly because of Hollywood garbage.

Thanks To My Free Wll
Thanks to my free will I am free to believe that there is no God. But thanks even more free will, I believe it necessary to tell grown-ups that there is no God; just as much as I also believe that it is also necessary to tell children that there is no Santa Claus. Poch Suzara
Eternity Existed
Eternity existed before we were born. Eternity will continue to exist after we are all dead and gone. Sadly, however, eternity does not seem to care whether we had lived briefly or had died eventually. And to think that we all begin to die as soon as we are born. The idea therefore is to live decent and wholesome lives not by wasting it preparing for the next life, as there isn't any. Poch Suzara
One Hundred Billion People
Approximately ONE BILLION people leave this world every 25 years or every generation. This means that more than 100 BILLION people have already lived and died on this earth since biblical times. Now if God could inspire authors to write the bible, wouldn't it be wonderful if the same God could inspire as well the theologians of today to give us a report as to just exactly how many people have been saved and made it to heaven? And how many people are already damned in hell? This report could be certified by Jesus who, according to biblical account, ascended bodily to heaven and there with him is his mother Mary, and his father Joseph including the saints. For my part, until I get such a report, I shall continue to be a happy and
a proud atheist till the day I die.
After I am dead, and I meet with God in the next world, I hope I get a chance to ask God: as a God with power and authority what exactly have you done to answer the daily prayers said by millions upon millions of Filipinos to save them away from poverty, especially spiritual poverty as a people; and, to straighten out the religious mess that's been keeping Philippines messy and backward economically as the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century? - Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

In The Afterlife
If the afterlife, if any, I do not care to be with God in heaven or to be with Satan in hell. I would rather spend eternity with the likes of Bertrand Russell, Will Durant, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Robert G.Ingersoll, Tom Paine, Jose Rizal, and with my sweetheart, my lover, my sexual partner: - a dear and a trustworthy friend, my editor, my associate, a fellow-atheist, a rarity indeed, as she is that kind of woman to me that I thought existed only in dreams. Poch Suzara
Beliefs Cannot Promote
Beliefs cannot promote themselves. Beliefs need schools, colleges, and universities at best; at worst, however, it needs the army, navy, and the air force to promote such nonsense. As for the values of unbeliefs by way of doubt that promotes a rational way of living, all that is required are three simple skills: - critical thinking, evidential reasoning, and questioning authority.

It Does Not Matter
It does not matter to me if God does not believe in me. What's more important to me is that I do not care to believe in God. It is a heavy burden to believe in non-human beings that do not exist. Besides, if there is a God, why is he always out there instead of being down here with us everywhere? Poch Suzara

The Most Belittled Character
The most belittled character mentioned in the holy bible is Joseph. He was told by an angel of God that his wife Mary is still a virgin. Can you blame Joseph was being so dumbstruck? The day he found out about his wife's virginal condition, he refused to talk to any one. Not even to the bible inspired authors. Poch Suzara

Philippine Population

God is Good

Kill The Evil Called Religion
Yes, we can kill the evil called religion with the power of thought. Unfortunately, religion has already made sure, with the crippling weapon of the threats of eternal punishment, that our power to think stays crippled for the rest of our lives. Poch Suzara
For God So Loved the World
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have life everlasting." God may have loved the world; but at the rate God allowed the world to beat up, scourge, spit, shove, push, hurt and nail his son Jesus crying and bleeding and dying on the cross, God obviously never loved the poor fellow. In the meantime, top management then in heaven were all like a bunch of silly theologians here on this earth. They thought it was such a great idea to crucify not the devil, or crucify the Talking Serpent, but put instead the son of God Jesus crucified on the cross to die for the sins of the world.

I Was Once A Devout Catholic
Indeed, I was once a devout Catholic. If there were a God, however, that I will meet after I am dead, the first thing I will do is to ask God to forgive me for having wasted some 18 precious years of my life as a heartless Christian in general and a mindless Catholic in particular. Poch Suzara
There is No God

The Power of Prayer
i am told that prayer works. Look at Mary, the Mother of God, who asked the world to pray for the conversion of Russia. It worked. Communism has collapsed in Russia.

If Prayer Works
If prayer works, how come we still need hospitals? How come we still need the medical profession? How come we still need to improve the existence of medical science and technology?

If Stupidity Causes Trouble
If intelligence causes trouble, what is needed is not less, but more intelligence. It is same thing with freedom: If freedom causes trouble, what is needed is not less, but more freedom. It is not the case, however, with stupidity for, if stupidity causes trouble, what is needed is not more, but precisely no more stupidity. Poch Suzara
Vision
When there is no vision, people perish. When there is vision, people flourish. As the only Christian country in Asia since the 15th century, where is the vision for the here to love our fellow-citizens, and where is the vision for the now to love our country? Poch Suzara

We Arrive At The Truth
We arrive at the truth not by easy praying but by hard thinking. Most people, however, do not like to think. They already know and enjoy the truth. It's called the Revealed Truth. The problem, however, with the Revealed Truth is that it has not yet been revealed to the Filipinos; it has only been revealed by God to His chosen people - the Jews. Poch Suzara
Education in the Philippines
What is education all about in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia? Six years in grade school. Four years in high school. Another four to six years in college. It is all about learning how to pray, and how love, worship, and adore a Jewish God who will provide as He provided us with a son Jesus born in a manger and died on a stick in Israel some two thousand years ago. And to think that Israel today is not a Christian country. It continues to be a Jewish State. Poch Suzara
Crucified Dead On The Cross
After he had been crucified dead on the cross, Jesus managed to resurrect himself back to life to be the Savior of the world. Sadly however, Jesus forgot to resurrect the dead level of intelligence of the dummies who had him crucified dead on the cross over nothing and for the sake of accomplishing nothing. Thus, as the Savior of the world Jesus was a failure! He miserably failed to save the world. Even the faithful believers on these pages are in desperate need of a Savior today! Poch Suzara

It is quite easy to be a success in life, specially if your ambition were only to do with licking the rear of others. It is much harder, however, to be a failure in life. Specially if your ambition were more to do with licking the fear in others. Poch Suzara
Atheistic Responsibility
There are those of us who have learned to love and enjoy not only the maturity, but especially the responsibility of atheism. For Christ's sake, why should we go back to the childish gullibility behind the irresponsibility that continues to grace the immaturity of theism always at variance with humanism? Poch Suzara
My Precious Mind
I have already gifted half of my soul to God in hell and the other half I have also gifted it to the devil in heaven. I hope those two supernatural morons are already satisfied with my generosity. Both should now stop fighting each other over winning my silly soul. Meanwhile, never will I ever again surrender to divinity or to deviltry the most priceless treasures I possess in this world: My most precious mind. Poch Suzara

The Love of Money
The bible says: "The love of money is the root of all evil." Sadly, Jesus Christ never addressed this issue. Thus, both in the Christian and non-Christian world today, the love of money keeps everybody not only in an evil mess due to the lack of it, but those who have tons of money, they only continue to be selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane.
In the meantime, in the Philippines. the only Christian country in Asia, if you steal small, you go to jail. Steal big, however, and you automatically qualify to be a candidate for Congress. Poch Suzara

The Free Mind
Rree will is great; fortunately, the good will is greater; but more fortunately, however, is the free mind. It is the greatest. There is absolutely nothing quite like it in all of nature. Poch Suzara
The Difference
It is easy to tell the difference between a moron and an idiot. An idiot can easily be frightened with ideas. A moron, however, from the cradle to the grave, has always been afraid of his own thought even if he has been thoughtless for most of his life. Poch Suzara
According To The Bible
According to the bible: "The dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward." Eccls 9:5. Sadly, however, among my classmates in De la Salle Colege, inspite the fact that they are not yet dead, they still love to know not anything and they expect to be rewarded for it happily in the next life in heaven.

If Jesus Christ Had Only
If Jesus Christ had only sacrificed himself to make amends not for the sins of man, but precisely for the sins of God; indeed, to have asked the human race to forgive divine disgrace, Christianity today need not have to believe that God made man in His own image and likeness. Poch Suzara

My atheist brother-in-law
My atheist brother-in-law was dying of cancer. A distant relative called me on the phone to inquire if he already turned back and now believes in God? I said: "No, I hope not. God's already killing him and you expect the poor fellow to love, worship, and adore his killer?" Poch Suzara
