God as a Shining Light

Faithful Christians will at times relate about the experiences of someone dying on the operating table and being “brought back to life.” Some will recount the “near death” experiences where their “soul” was already hovering over, and looking down at their own body… while a celestial being was striving to “guide” them towards a far off “Great Shining Light.”

Isn’t it incredible that the only description available to what God looks like is a “Great Shining Light? And to think during our formative years in grade school, we were already inspired, nay, intimidated to believe that God is existing here, existing there, and existing everywhere watching our every move and jutting down our every sinful thought.

In the meantime, in the Old Testament, Moses queried the burning bush about its identity. In the King James translation the bush replies: “I am that I am.” But the original Hebrew, according to biblical scholars, should actually be translated as “I will be what I will be.”

For my part, I imagine a God identifying himself as either a Great Shining Light, or a Burning Bush, or “I am that I am” while nervously chewing his fingernails. Poch Suzara

In This life

In this life, no matter what, we always find what we consistently look for. Most men and women, however, do not know exactly what they seek in life. True, they seek happiness. Never realizing at the same time that to discover one’s self is far more valuable and lasting than the fulfillment of a momentary desire.

In the meantime, to be ourselves we must complete ourselves. It is, in this way, that we can become the creators of our future and cease to be the slaves of our past. Poch Suzara

Prayers, Not Readers

We are a nation of prayers. We are not, by any standard, a nation of readers. If God, however, does not listen to the prayers of his own Chosen People – the Jews, why should God listen to the prayers of the Filipinos – the Sick Man of Asia? Poch Suzara

Atheism is NOT a Religion

Atheism is NOT a religion. Atheism is unbelief in the existence of the supernatural. We Atheists have no sacred writings that inspires any one to live a life of fear. We have no savior to make any one proud of childish dependency, poverty, ignorance, and misery.

Indeed, we atheists seek enlightenment. We do not kneel down to the threats or the promises of the Old or the New Testament. We would rather pin our hopes and dreams on the creation of a world government.

There is little ethical or anything commonsensical in any of the great religions of the world. Except perhaps for Buddhism, the great religions are criminal by decree. What other institution is there existing in this world that, for the purpose of either winning salvation or resurrection or reincarnation, – the minds and hearts of its respective believers - must first be twisted and distorted and stunted?

Atheism is not a spiritual ineptitude. It is a healthy attitude. Atheism is not a belief, but a lack of childish beliefs. We have no need of faith to have faith in our lack of faith. There is only one kind of atheism in this world. Just as there is only one kind of Multiplication Table – the perfect model of truth.

We atheist love and embrace what atheist Bertrand Russell loved and embraced during most of his 98 years of life: - “The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”

Indeed, we atheist fully appreciate this simple truth: - what the world needs now is not only love but greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all its complexity. Poch Suzara

Broken Marriages

Most marriages do not last because, to begin with, most men need a mother substitute, and most women need a savior. This is not marriage. It is a sacramental joke. In fact, it is a contract for mutual salvation for pain and reciprocal torture especially for the children, if any.

Of course, let’s no ignore the greater evil. Men marry for the sake of what’s menstrual found in between a woman’s legs, and couldn’t care less about what’s functional found in between a woman’s ears. Poch Suzara

Power

The power of the Catholic Church comes from ignorant Catholics. The power of the US government comes from ignorant Americans. Only the ignorant could believe that their power comes from the power of God. Poch Suzara

Truth versus Lies

I used to believe that the search of the truth is life’s most noble adventure. Not anymore. I have changed my mind. I now think the search of lies is a far more creative and productive Especially the lies crank out daily by the media more

My Own Retraction

It has been predicted that one day, in my death-bed, I will duly retract, on my knees make amends for my errors, go back to God, and plead for divine mercy, and beg for the eternal salvation of my soul!

I say, no way. Me, abandon my faith in heresy? Me, neglect my hopes for a better humanity? Me, surrender my fight for terrestrial sanity? Me, be a disgrace to the human race down here to please divine grace up there? Really, I’d rather kill myself first than be dead devoid of self-respect and human dignity. Poch Suzara

College Graduates

Here are the stark similarities among college educated men and women in the Philippines: first, they all love God; second, they all love Jesus, the Son of God; and third, if they love their country, they are told that it does not matter because there is always a heaven to look forward to as a better world to come after we are all dead and buried. Thus, despite all the hundreds of millions of college educated Filipinos since God knows when, the Philippines remains poor and backward as a nation. Poch Suzara

Evil

If the Son of God Jesus could not remove evil out of Israel, his place of birth, how could Jesus remove evil out of a foreign country like the Philippines? As a matter of historical fact, evil exist in the Philippines not only because of human stupidity, but mainly because of Christianity. Indeed, thanks to Christianity and its teachings, we Filipinos believe that there is a better world to come but only later after we are all well situated buried dead in the cemetery. Poch Suzara

Universal God

A universal God ought to reveal a universal religion. Instead we find Judeo-Christian-Islam religion hating and fighting each other because the revealed truth has not yet been revealed. To which religion of the great religions of the world it will be revealed, if at all, nobody knows! Even the silly theologians haven't the foggiest when or where or how or what or why the Revealed Truth will be revealed! Poch Suzara

Source of Evil

In the Old Testament, God admits he is the source of evil: “I form light and create darkness, I make peace and create evil, I the Lord do all these things.” Isa. 45:7

I feel sorry for the religious morons of this world. When it comes to evil, the Lord is way ahead of man's stupid free will. Poch Suzara

Something Versus Nothing

Why something rather than nothing? Well, why a God and a devil existing alongside God? Both God and the devil keep reminding everyone that this something is really all about nothing because there is a better something to come in the next world after we are all dead and buried and gone to nothing! Poch Suzara

God’s Help

Rizal Wrote

“We can only serve our country by telling the naked truth, however bitter it may be.”

Well, I say, we can only serve our friends and relatives by not being hypocritical or intellectually dishonest towards each other. After all, we all have yet to discover the rare and simple truth, which is rare and never simple. Poch Suzara

Our Greatest Tragedy

Our greatest tragedy in life is being captured with the sacrament of baptism from the cradle and having faith in God up to the grave. At the same time, however, never discovering that these horrors were invented by a gang of crackpots in big business for themselves. Such weirdos always dressed in a woman’s attire have always been among the prominent members of the Board of Directors of the churches of the world. Poch Suzara

God Loves us

God loves us not because of who we are, but because of who He is. Phil. Star Jan 7,2008

Jesus and the Thief

“Lord, remember me when thou comest into they kingdom.” And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To this day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23: 42-43

Is it any wonder that ever since then, thieves have played major roles in the spread of the word of God? Golly, these days, they are even the owners and operators of world banks such as the Vatican Bank! Poch Suzara

More Political Promises

"No request is to great or too small to bring to God. Phil Star

It looks like more political promises from the Lord. But the request from Jesus, His only begotten Son, was denied. On the cross, Jesus cried out loud: “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Matt 27:46.

My dear God, is it really that difficult for you to say what you mean and to mean what you say? For Christ’s sake, what are you a God for? Really God, when are you doing to stop this divine drama of yours that amuses no one except Satan – your partner in sin and in crime? Poch Suzara

Religious Drama

“If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:14.

It is incredible how the billions of faithful and devoted Christians who already lived and died on this earth – not one of them had the gall to ask the Lord to please destroy the devil. Oh well, a few probably did, but never enjoyed success. I should know, I am one of them! Poch Suzara

Treasures

Treasures in heaven are laid up as treasures on earth are laid down. Phil Star, Dec. 13,2007

Robert Ingersoll was more truthful. He wrote: “The church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.”

One of the richest, if not the most solid bank existing in the world today is the Vatican bank. Hello!

God’s Forgiveness

To enjoy the future, accept God’s forgiveness for the past. Phil Star Dec. 11/2007

Oh God, again, that is not the issue. Forget that meaningless business of forgiving. Why not try, instead, something more meaningful: - get involved with us Filipinos, do a little evolving yourself, as a manifestation of your divine grace!

After all, yours is the power, kingdom, and the glory as written in the Old and in the New Testament!

We Filipinos have nothing except a corrupt and an inefficient government as guaranteed by a corrupt Constitution. Poch Suzara

Faith in the Gospel

Let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ. . . . stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. Philippians 1:27. Phil Star January 8/2008.

What ever happened to the conduct worthy of common human decency under social and political sanity for the good of our country?

In the meantime, a man of faith is like a silly drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination. Poch Suzara

We are the Sick Victims

We still carry on as the sick victims rather than we should already be the healthy masters of religion. One would think that after all this time, our schools, colleges, and universities should already know what to do in order to remedy the historical horror. Unfortunately, even our teachers in school and professors in universities have no idea as to why, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos know only how to pray to God for forgiveness of our sins and crimes as we still know not whatever else to do. Poch Suzara

Science and Religion

“Almost all of the progress in the world from the earliest times is attributable to science and the scientific temper.” Bertrand Russell. Well, almost all of the troubles that’s been keeping the Filipino poor as a people and the Philippines backward as a nation - have been due to religion and the infantile religious temper. Ask Fr. James Reuter. He is an expert on this evil. He is also the famous American priest in the Philippines who claims to save Filipino souls for God in heaven. In the meantime, George B. Shaw said it: "At present, there is not a single credible religion established in the world." Well, for my part, when I am ask, if science and religion can merge one day, I say yes, they can. But religion must first reconcile with other stupid religions before science can seriously entertain the merger. Poch suzara

Life or Death

Facing death with confidence comes from trusting Christ. Phil Star Jan 10,2008

Well, I ask: what about facing life with a sense of benevolence that comes from human intelligence?

In the meantime, it is truly incredible how we are all subject to birth, life, growth, death, and decay; except God and the devil - his partner in crime. Both supernatural beings exist happily and endlessly together. To think God never even gifted the devil with a Free Will. Poch Suzara

The Poorest People

Among the rich are truly the poor among the poorest of idiots. It is they who have neither the ability nor the intellectual capacity to grasp in any way whatsoever that the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart. Indeed, these poor idiots would rather continue to be the stupid followers rather than try to be the intelligent leaders of our country. To think a great many of them, like our politicians in government, the theologians in church, thieves in corporations, teachers in school, professors in college - are all college educated in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

The Troubles in our World

The troubles in our world begins with the troubles in the human family. Indeed, to begin with, children are the products of sex; not love. We are not the masters of the biological truth, but the victims of theological lies. Life is not a creation of a fictitious creator. As a matter of truth, life is a sexually-transmitted disease with the mortality rate of 100 per percent. Listen, however, to sweet Jesus - the Savior of the world, declaring in the bible: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife and children, and brethren, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 When I tell my friends and relatives to struggle with me against with the basic troubles of our troubled world, they react by only telling me that they are too busy and that there is nothing we can do anything about it anyway. That no one can remedy the situation. That the struggle for human decency is a waste of time and energy. That we can only try to remedy the horrors of those who are poor and homeless; never, however, can we ever alleviate the horrors of those who are the mindless and the heartless. I insist however: this is our world. This is the world of our children we are dealing with. If we do not speak for this world, our world, who will? I, myself, alone, may not solve the problems of our world. The least I could do, however, is to exclude myself away from among the billions of religious saps and jerks who keep our world always in trouble. Indeed, I should stop having faith in a divine grace that has, in fact, been doing nothing except to perpetually be a disgrace against the human race. For as long as we waste time and energy believing, loving, venerating, and having faith in lies and deceptions, we shall never solve the problems of our troubled world. We shall only need a Savior. But Bertrand Russell had a more creative alternative to solve the evil: He wrote: "What the world needs now is not only love, but also the greater knowledge of the nature of love, in all its complexity." Indeed, "the good life one inspired by love and guided by knowledge." Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Life in America

Life in America means work, work, work to pay your bills, bills, bills. The whole idea is to become rich and famous. Each and every year, however, only about 100 in 1,000,000 American workers make it to the top. The rest continue to work, work, and work. And to pay bills, pay bills, and pay bills for the rest of their lives.

In the meantime, among the rich and famous and the powerful in America are the members of Congress. They do not work, work, and work for the American people; in fact, we the American people work, work, and work to help pay for their bills, bills, and bills. Poch Suzara

The Prince of Darkness

Of course it is not fair to blame God for hiding all the time. Always shying away from the trials and tribulations of man on this earth. After all, in heaven, God enjoys his title role the Prince of Darkness. Poch Suzara

Anger should be one of the greatest of virtues. Notice, however, in our system of education, we were never taught to get angry; especially at stupid religion that keeps the Filipino sick as a people and that keeps the Philippines sick as a nation. Poch Suzara

To Think

To think that Jesus was a Jewish Son of God, not a Filipino Son of God. And to think further that in this 21^st century, Jesus remains as a minor character in the Jewish history of customs and tradition. Poch Suzara

Asian Government Officials

The government officials of other Asian countries do not pray to God. Only the officials of the Philippine government do so daily. And yet, look at the way our government officials are inspired to keep the Filipino people believing that there is a better world to come, but only after we are all dead and buried.

In the meantime, since decades ago, Filipino workers have had better opportunities to enjoy a higher standard of living and thinking working in other non-Christian Asian countries. Poch Suzara

In This Catholic Country

In this Catholic country of sin, crime, poverty, filth, and ill-gotten wealth, there is always something to be grateful for. As for me, I am grateful to the Son of God Jesus that I am no longer a Catholic. I am also grateful that Jesus was not born, raised, and educated as a Catholic in Israel – the land of His birth. Poch Suzara

The Free Bully

God already killed my loved ones – those I happily served and loved; and those who happily served me and loved me. God already killed my brother and dad, my lolos and lolas, my in-laws, most of my uncles and aunties; already a few among my nieces and nephews, cousins; and already killed indeed great friends who rescued me away from religious horrors. Soon God will kill my 95 year old mom, and will have me put to death too any day now. And for all these horrors, I am suppose to love, worship, and adore God? I say: To hell with your free will God! You are nothing but a free bully. Poch Suzara

Judgment Day

During Judgment Day facing God almighty, this will be the nature of my defense: “God, you gifted me with 70 years of free will, but why did you also gifted the devil – your real enemy – not only free will but worst, you gave him centuries of free existence to freely do more evil than I could be free to imagine? Poch Suzara

Go ye Teach all Nations

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying: All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matt. 28: 18-20

Jesus – Not a Reader

Jesus warned: “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26

Too bad Jesus never read the Old Testament especially where it warns: “He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.” Proverbs 11:29 Poch Suzara

Evolution versus Revelation

The universe in its immensity, and life in general in its complexity require not an intelligent designer, but simply - an explanation. Happily, the science of evolution has been a more reliable explanation as compared to the religion of revelation. Indeed, in science, there is always that beauty of simplicity. In religion, there is only that putridity behind the perplexity of a mystery for love of a divinity in cahoots with deviltry out there while we are suppose to enjoy human stupidity down here. Poch Suzara

Fear God

Those who fear God need not fear the world. Phil Star Dec. 31, 2007.

It is truly incredible. Imagine an all-powerful God, a Supernatural Being, the creator of the billions of stars and planets out there. He enjoys the situation where He is being feared by no less than silly human beings struggling to survive on this speck of dust lost in the immensity of space and time known as the planet Earth. Poch Suzara

Our Unknown Future

Our unknown future is secure in the hands of our all-knowing God. Phil. Star Dec. 26, 2007

It is truly incredible that in this 21^st century an All-knowing God still does not know how we, his children, the human race, continue to be mutually destructive to each other. We continue to be the stupid victims and not, as we should be, the intelligent masters of the great religions in this world? Poch Suzara

Life and Death

There is no such thing as the hereafter because there is no such thing as the herebefore.

Since I did not exist in the infinite past, why and how could I exist in the infinite future? Life after death has always been a promise based upon a tall story. Mostly derived from silly theology – the study of nothing in order to have faith in nothing to keep the faithful under control for the glory of nothing. Poch Suzara

Sins and Lawless Deeds

“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Hebrews 8:12

Oh God, that is not the issue. The issue has always been: how come you help those who can help themselves, but never, have you ever, helped to prevent sins and lawless deeds especially those committed in thy name? Poch Suzara

We Still Believe

We still believe, like the religious morons still do believe, that in obeying, serving, supporting, and loving the Catholic Bishops, it is exactly the same thing as obeying, serving, supporting, and loving God. We are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia.

God himself never introduced Himself to us in person. It has always been the priesthood industry who taught us to fear and to have faith, especially blind faith in the existence of God.

In the meantime, where is God? Ask any Catholic Bishop. Since they themselves do not know, they will only threaten you with eternal damnation for asking such heretical questions. Poch Suzara

Religious Morons

The religious morons carry on with this life as if it were only a rehearsal for the better life to come after death.

Hey, wake up! This is it. This is the only life we have. This is the only world we have. There is nothing else but - the here and the now. There is no such thing as another life after we are dead. As a matter of fact, if nobody knows anything about life after birth, how could anybody know of anything about life after death? Poch Suzara

War and Religion

War and religion have always been about big business. One sells - ammunition; the other - salvation. In war, hate is created. In religion, fear is created. In fact, historically, both war and religion have always been allied together, always in cahoots together. War and religion have always have been and still are the greatest evils that continue to make the few rich richer, and to make the many poor poorer. Poch Suzara

Reason and Authority

In the Old Testament, the Lord says: “Come, let us reason together.” Isa. 1:18.

In the New Testament, however, the Lord abandons reason to impose bloody authority. “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” Luke 19:27. Poch Suzara

God In Darkness

Before God created light in the 4^th day, there was only miserable darkness. Is there a theologian out there who can explain how God managed to exist happily in total darkness before he created light? Aside from the fact of course that God was already enjoying his title as the “Prince of Darkness.” Poch Suzara

Abused Children

It has been fully recognized that an abused child quite frequently will grow into being an abusive adult. I know. Most of my teachers in grade school and high school at De La Salle University were painfully abusive. For God’s sake on this earth and for his glory in heaven, my teachers wanted me to learn. However, they too never bothered to learn with me. I often tried to tell my teachers that questions are always far important than the answers – they punished me physically for my impertinence. Thank God it is now my turn to punish them as they continue to have faith in academic stupidity. Poch Suzara

On Rizal's Death Anniversary

Even up to the last hours of his life, Rizal was writing a message for fellow-Filipinos. He wrote in his last poem: “I go where faith does not kill and where he who reigns is God.” Rizal was obviously admitting that in the Philippines God is found neither here nor there. And that we should abandon faith as faith does kill minds and hearts everywhere! Especially those who call themselves “Knights of Rizal” and the “Rizalists” continue on with their endless debates. To add not to the Rizalian way of acquiring knowledge and its diffusion, but only to add more to the superstition behind our national confusion. They also continue to ignore the historical fact that the killers of Rizal are still with us today. In fact, after the death of Rizal, his killers, men of the priesthood industry have taken over most of our schools, colleges, and universities to see to it that we Filipinos carry on with faith in our spiritual poverty as a people; and indeed, to have more faith in our moral bankruptcy as a nation. Since decades ago, most Asian countries begun to embrace the power of science and technology. The Philippines, however, with its religious system of education, continue only to embrace faith and politics, especially as both have always been harmonious in cahoots together.

My dear Jose Rizal, since your day of execution in December 30, 1896, you would think that we Filipinos could have already learned to be the real masters of human destiny in our own country. But thanks to the academic threats of hell-fire and deviltry, we just continue to be the historical victims of human stupidity. Of course we Filipinos hardly think of ourselves as lacking in self-respect and human dignity. On the contrary, we think of ourselves as highly blessed especially as we believe in a savior otherwise more known “Christianity.”

In the meantime it is strange but true: Never, was there ever, a Filipino who got to be filthy rich for believing that God is bad. And yet, millions of Filipinos are filthy poor for believing that God is good. Indeed, in this 21^st century, we Filipinos are the Poor and the Sick Man of Asia. And as our population is increasing tremendously out of control recklessly - we continue to get even poorer and sicker. Oh, when is the Second Coming of the Lord who promised to remedy poverty out of our sick society? Poch Suzara

Sex and Love

Man gives love in order to get sex. Woman gives sex in order to get love. At most times the result is an unwanted child in order to keep our world out of order. Indeed, life is a sexually transmitted disease with a mortality rate of 100 per cent. Poch Suzara

Evidences

We are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education. What are the evidences to logically support the truth of this statement?

My dear reader, please take a serious look at the results of education cranked out yearly by Ateneo, La Salle, Letran, San Beda, Mapua, University of Santo Thomas, University of the Philippines, Marian college, Assumption college, Santa Escolastica, Asian Institute of Management, University of the East, Adamson University, etc.

Please consider the shady character of these college educated men and women as corrupt products of these prestigious universities. Elected or appointed or promoted as officials to manage the government of the Philippine, it has become nothing but a reflection of the politically tragic at its best, if not economically destructive at its worst.

And to think the politicians in our government share a common goal with the theologians in our Church: Both have high hopes of keeping the Filipino perpetually poor on the one hand, and keep the Filipino eternally ignorant on the other hand.

I rest my case. Poch Suzara

Nothing Unthinkable

At the rate the power of science is growing, developing, and expanding, there is nothing any more that’s unthinkable. Indeed, with science anything that is conceivable or imaginable is achievable. Except the conveyors of human stupidity. They still think that science and human stupidity are all one and the same animal created in the image and likeness of a creator.

For my part, I have every respect for science. Science is a rebellion against human stupidity especially as it established itself as a church or authority. Poch Suzara

What is the Real Nature of Reality

Great writers deal with reality. The greater writers deal with deeper reality. But then again what in hell is reality? Who can define it? I tip off my hat to the greatest of writers – the scientists. They are honest enough to admit that neither they nor anyone else for that matter have the foggiest notion what precisely comprises reality. If reality, in fact, stands for anything material or spiritual, solid or liquid, or what-not? Which is real the matter in energy or the energy in matter? Which is real the world in a grain of sand or the grain in the world of sand? At the heart of reality lies not an answer, but a question: why is there something rather than nothing? The answer is that here is no answer, only a question. What precisely is that something? Who knows? Nothing seems real except the laws of nature; but the mother of all laws is that of birth, growth, death, and decay; indeed, evolution and dissolution everywhere. Poch Suzara

The Absurdity of Existence

Never mind proving the existence of God? Just prove that existence makes sense to begin with. And if existence makes sense, according to whom or determined by whom? In the meantime, where is existence going? Does existence have a sense of direction? Has it a purpose? For whom? Where has existence been taking the human race during these past hundreds of thousands of years? Poch Suzara

The Speed in Nature

Science has already measured the speed of light, but how come the speed of darkness has not been equally measured as well? There is far more darkness as a movement throughout the universe than there is the movement of light? Both light and darkness share the joys of existence together. Why measure only one side of the story? Poch Suzara

Our Country

Our country is mostly populated by two kinds of sick people: the lunatics who have faith in illusions; and the Catholics who have faith in delusions. Combine, however, these two evils together and we have the national confusion. Not only always at war against the beauty of reason, but also against the progress of knowledge and its diffusion. Poch Suzara

Lesbians and Homosexuals

The church condemns as immoral the marriage between lesbians or the marriage between homosexuals. They are not capable of contributing to the population growth.

The church equally condemns married couples as immoral if they practice family planning and birth control measures. The church loves the population explosion everywhere. It maintains and supports suffering, poverty, and misery – the very evils that keep the business of the church growing, developing, and expanding. Poch Suzara

Harmful Faith

Faith is always harmful because faith is never wanting to know what is true. To believe in anything false or erroneous is destructive nonsense.

Instead of faith, I’d rather have confidence. Life is too damned short and fleeting. Indeed, if the examined life is worth living, then our beliefs must always be examined if our lives were to be worth living especially for and in the business of establishing peace on earth and goodwill to all men.

The Filthy-rich only Want to get Filthy-Richer

Instead of seeking the beauty of veracity, most men would rather seek the power money. After the few successful ones, by hook or by crook, or by inheritance or connivance or contrivance make their money, and the power that goes with it, these moneyed individuals just continue to remain selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane.

The Analysis of Failure

The failure of the Filipino way of life, especially in matters of achieving a higher standard of living as a people, and accomplishing a higher standard of thinking as a nation can, and should be traced, if not attributed to only one major cause: the great success of Christianity in the Philippines. Indeed, from among the many minor evils, only the major evil called Christianity has kept the Filipino spiritually poor as a people, and has kept the Philippines morally backward as a nation. Consider our corrupt government managed by corrupt officials since God knows when. No Filipino can be elected to a public office unless he belongs to a religion. Indeed, there has never been an atheist in the Philippine government. No government official or employee would ever admit to being an atheist. In fact, government functions or meetings begin with childish prayers. Poch Suzara

Our Women

The women of our society need lecture and exposure to new scientific knowledge - the opportunity to interact with it freely as a way to achieve intellectual maturity, self-respect, and human dignity. It is only in this way, our women could help remedy Filipino social, political, and moral insanity. Poch Suzara

Vatican Bank

The Catholic Vatican Bank today is worth more than a trillion dollars in cash deposits. And yet, De La Salle University President is asking for donations to support his Catholic students on scholarship. The One La Salle Scholarship Fund Campaign hopes to raise a billion pesos ($50 million dollars) by the year 2011. La Salle president Brother Luistro himself admits: “The majority of these young people would not even dare enter the halls of our schools because of financial inability.”

Ours, indeed, is the most corrupt religion in all of Asia. Poch Suzara

Christianity

Poverty, squalor, and misery keep Christianity going. The ulterior purpose of the whole Christian system of salvation is to make people ill or troubled. Indeed, to put more decadence locally than to spread more intelligence regionally. Look at the Philippines as a backward and a corrupt nation – the only Christian country in all of Asia since the 16^th century.

The problem is that we Filipinos only want stupid religion. We do not want intelligent science. We are in mortal fear of science as the one sermon of science is that all life eats other life, and that all life will die. We will never accept science until it transforms the Philippines into an earthly paradise. As long as we have poverty, squalor, and misery – we will never abandon Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and the saints and the other members of the holy trinity otherwise more known as Christianity.

And so, “lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth,… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth and rust doth corrupt, and were thieves break through and steal. Matt. 6:20.

Notice the bible does not admit who are the biggest thieves in the world – the men in the priesthood industry! Poch Suzara

The Dead

I envy the dead. The dead can no longer be acquisitive, jealous, combative, erotic, indeed, can no longer be stupid and insane!

One day, like it or not, we too will eventually join the dead. I ardently hope, however, there is no next world, no hereafter managed by a silly divinity in cahoots with a silly deviltry to ruin again precious life for the sake of nothing, but infinite stupidity.

In the meantime, I ask: should we have more faith with the living dead in this world; or, have more faith with the dead living in the next world? Poch Suzara

Jesus

“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he lived. Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11:25. One of the great tragedies of Western civilization was that there was no lunatic asylum established during the 1st century to commit crackpots like sons of God for psychiatric treatment. Indeed, sons of God who could boast, if not make promises as cheap as those promises made by cheap politicians in our corrupt government. Since Jesus died, then resurrected, and then physically evaporated, more than a hundred billion people already lived and died on this earth. Now where are those people today? Jesus already met with them? Have those dead people already contacted Jesus? In the meantime, how come we never hear from any of our dead loved-ones? In fact, we never even hear from Jesus himself. Otherwise, how come the Revealed Truth has yet to be revealed? Poch Suzara

Biblical Negligence

The bible neglects to mention that an earlier creation was already finished over the next county called China – older than the Old Testament by some 4,000 years. Cain’s wife must have been a Chinese lady who, with her friends and relatives helped Cain build a city. Poch Suzara

Theology

Theology is the study of the unknown for the sake of defending and protecting the existence of anything unknown. In brief, it is more popularly known as a divine mystery. Poch Suzara

Religion and Superstition

The difference between religion and superstition is that there isn't any at all. Both are one and the same animal created in the image of fear and in the likeness of ignorance. Poch Suzara

God Loves the Poor

It is often said that God loves the poor. He made so many of them. If this were true how come God never listens to the prayer of the poor? They are getting poorer. God, however, always listens to the prayer of the rich. They are getting richer!

Then again, if God loves the poor, how come he created a billion of them in China who are not even Christians, but who are now getting rich as a people and acquiring super power as a nation? Poch Suzara

Jesus and Family Values

Jesus had no faith in family values. He didn’t give a hoot that his mother never married his father. In fact, it never bothered Jesus that his parents were not properly married in church. It is incredible to believe that Jesus, the Son of an All-knowing God, knew nothing of the troubles of the human family. How troubles within the family give rise to hate, violence, and war in our world. Crucified on the cross, Jesus should have realized the values of the happy family relationship. He cried out: “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
If I were Jesus crucified on the cross, I should have cried out loud: - “Man, forgive God for He knows not what in hell he is doing!” Poch Suzara

The Bully

The eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his mercy. Psalms 33:18

Just exactly like the moron who bullied me years ago when I was in grade school at De La Salle University. Like the dummy that I was then, I begged for his mercy too. Until I also, via association, learned to be a bully too. I managed to bully even my teachers with merciless non-stop deep questions. Poch Suzara

Cult

As soon as a cult achieves wealth, power, and glory, it ceases to be a cult. It becomes an established and a prestigious Church. El Shaddai of Mike Velarde and Jesus is Lord Movement in the Philippines of Eddie Villanueva for example are no longer cults, but established churches. The Catholic Church, in its early days during the Roman Empire was a cult. Poch Suzara

Only in the Philippines

Filipino motor vehicle drivers do not care for traffic rules. They are ignorant of such rules to begin with. A red light is merely a suggestion. It does not mean stop. A pedestrian lane exists only in fantasy, never a reality constructed in our city streets.

Speaking about Filipino hospitality, generosity, caring, a smiling race, and always faithful to Mary, the Mother of God – this obviously could only be the conclusion of a college-educated moron. Poch Suzara

Damian Sotto

Damian Sotto was a great and a rare Filipino. He was the famous radio broadcaster in the late 50s and early 60s. He cursed to high heavens the saints, filling the air waves with truths against holy scriptures for the masses to listen. He confronted the Catholic Church head on - to put up or shut up. He provoked the thoughts and asked millions of his radio listeners: How could you believe that a white woman who had blue eyes, a brunette, born and raised under a Jewish culture - be the mother of God in a land that was never converted into Christianity? Sotto also found it laughable that the Father of Jesus never married his Mother Mary. Indeed, Jesus was not a legitimate child. I was so proud when I personally met Damian Sotto at the Erewhon bookstore in Padre Faura street, Erminta, Malate in 1963. I shook his hands with great respect and admiration. I said to him in the vernacular: “If only our teachers in school and professors in college possessed a modicum of intellectual courage of a Damian Sotto we Filipinos need no longer be famous the Sick Man of Asia today.

Papal Encyclical

In the second encyclical of his papacy, Pope Benedict urges Christians to

put their hope for the future in God and not in technology, wealth or

political ideologies.

As an atheist, I say, if God exist and doing his job as a God, we should

have no need for technology, wealth or political ideologies. In fact, at this

point and time, with the guidance from an existing supernatural power

called God, mankind should already be living in peace, inhabiting

creatively and exploring productively the planets comprising the Solar

System.

The Pope also admitted: "Let us put it very simply: man needs God,

otherwise he remains without hope." I entirely agree. But then again, if

God is everywhere existing, why is there a need for religious crackpots to

play God? In the Philippines, he is usually referred to as the cardinal

with his bishops.

My dear Pope Benedict, no doubt, scientific knowledge has brought troubles

into our world. What will remedy the mess, however, is not less, but

precisely more scientific knowledge doing its best for the good of mankind.

God Not Acting like a God

If a God refuses to act like a God in this world here and now, why should such a God act like a real God only in the next world later? What’s the big deal about a FREE WILL, if, in the next world, what we will enjoy is the DEAD WILL of a dead body. The purpose driven life is based on a lot of religious hogwash. After all, the real meaning of life is that it stops. As an atheist, I care about the future of children and their children in this world. I do not give a hoot about the future of stupid souls after a stupid death. Poch Suzara

Sick Babies

More than 90 per cent of the 1.9 million babies born yearly in the Philippines suffer from lack of hygiene, sanitation, and nutrition. The causes of mental retardation via brain damage. It is one reason why we are a nation of morons. The other reason comes from our schools, colleges, and universities. Such places of learning continue to teach such silly nonsense like Jewish God created the Filipino in His own image and likeness.

If you examine seriously the similarity between the Jews and Filipinos, you would clearly see there isn’t any. To begin with, the Jews are the chosen people of God. And what have we Filipinos got anything to do with Jewish history, culture, laws, religion, and tradition?

For Christ’s sake, if we Filipinos were to be guilty of the original sin, the least we should have first is our own original religion. Since the 16^th century, we never had any except vague copies! Poch Suzara

A Reader

A reader wrote explaining why we are the Sick Man of Asia. He concluded that it is because we Filipinos have not accepted the right religion for our country.

I replied: if there were such a business as the right religion, it is the right religion according to whom and to be determined by whom?

In the meantime, why bother to think when Christianity has already determined for us all the answers? What's the use of examining the facts when the Vatican keeps reminding the multitude about the pains of eternal punishment if we ever try to question its doctrines or if we try to seek the truth! And to think that these are the same religious morons who keep bragging that God is everywhere and who gifted man with a free will. Poch Suzara

Coup D’ etat

Coup D’etat in the Philippines is not about social or economic reconstruction. It is not even about government reformation. It is only about more destruction. Indeed, to add more to the daily confusion for the sake of the political illusion as inspired by historical deception experienced by a people enjoying the adequacy of a delusion. Poch Suzara

Rotten Family Values

Here are rotten family values from no less than Jesus himself – the Savior of the world, the Prince of peace, the Son of God – the creator of the universe: “If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, his own life also, he cannot be my discipline.” Luke 14:26. Too bad I was not born during the days of Jesus. I would have been among the first to volunteer to get him not crucified, but get him analyzed and certified. Jesus was a psycho-ceramic in the scientific term. In the layman’s term, he was a crackpot. Really, if God the Father and Son and Holy Spirit were really existing out there - is it really that hard for them to fix the family troubles and problems of this world down here? Such horrors just continue to make impossible the basic creation of peace on earth and goodwill to all men? As far as I am concerned – if they exist at all, what a disgrace supernatural beings they have been and still are to the human race! Considering for centuries we have never ceased believing, loving, worshipping, and praying to such powerful Creators! Poch Suzara

Thankful

Amidst the sin, crime, and corruption that make for our sick society, it is claimed that, nevertheless, we always have something to be thankful for. Indeed, we have. For my part, I am thankful that I am a Catholic no more!

No doubt, it is historically true, Magellan discovered the Philippines in 1521. It was because of Magellan that we Filipinos became Catholics. Today in the year 2007, almost 500 years later, we Filipinos have yet to discover too the Philippines, and to discover also why we are a nation of lunatics. Poch Suzara

Only in the Philippines

In China, ordinary minds talk about people. Average minds talk about events. Great minds talk about ideas.

In the Philippines, what we have are sick minds – we only talk of how we should embrace the love of divinity up there by struggling against deviltry called sin down here. Hell, we do not even talk about love of our country and its future. We only talk about the better world to come after we are all dead, buried, and gone.

Look how sick we are as Filipinos, especially in the church and in the government. Sin is forgiven all the time. Crime is pardoned all the time. Corruption is both forgiven and pardoned especially with those who are the powerful friends of corruption in this God-forsaken country. We are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

A Developed Philippines

What would it take for the Philippines to develop as a nation? Absolutely nothing; except the full development of the Filipino mind and heart educated to be prepared for this life in the science of the here and now. Not indoctrinated to be prepared for the next non-existing world for the dead, the buried, and the gone. Poch Suzara

Hitler’s Mein Kampf

Adolf Hitler wrote: “Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” Hitler was born, raised, and educated as a Catholic in Germany. Pope Pius the supported Hitler morally and financially. It was widely known that Hitler was out to slaughter the Jews – the killers of Christ. Hitler’s Mein Kampf was never a banned book at anytime as per the Index Expurgatorius – a list of forbidden or restricted material deemed morally or politically harmful by the authorities. Our own Rizal’s Noli and Fili were banned books for Catholic readers. In other words, Rizal was a sinner in the eyes the Vatican. Hitler was a saint. Poch Suzara

A Religious Moron Myself

I was once myself a religious moron. It was during kindergarten, grade school, and high school days. Confession every Friday. Mass and communion every Sunday. Prayers morning, noon, and night. I must have uttered more than a million times our school prayer: “Saint John Baptist De la Salle, pray for us. Leave Jesus in our hearts. Forever.”

I believed then with all of my heart and soul that God created man in his own image and likeness. Until I read a simple biological truth never revealed to me before. “Life is a sexually transmitted disease with a death rate of 100 per cent.”

I decided to grow up. Slowly, gradually, and indeed painfully, I managed to throw all of my moronic beliefs out the window. Never have I felt a useless load off my back that crippled me then with poverty of the worst kind – the poverty of the mind and heart. Poch Suzara

Men of Faith

Men of faith do not want to know. Like misguided children, they only want to believe.

We Filipinos are men of faith. It means we have no faith in our country. In this 21^st century, however, we still have faith that as our country grows darker, the promised return of the Son grows brighter.

Ignorance and fanaticism is perpetually busy and it needs feeding. All of our famous religious leaders – the Catholic bishops, Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement, Brother Eli Soriano of Ang Dating Daan, including my teachers at La Salle University during grade school and high school proved themselves experts with the works of the Lord feeding ignorance and fanaticism.

Isn’t free will a wonderful thing? After we faithfully feed ignorance and fanaticism in our own country, we Filipinos then migrate to other countries so that we can begin also to feed and support our family especially with self-respect and dignity. Poch Suzara

Another Great and Rare Filipino

Dear Poch,

I have long maintained that corruption in the Philippines is systemic.

A great majority of Filipinos (out of a total of around 88 million) are in the clutches of chronic and dehumanizing poverty.

Poverty and Corruption: that is a deadly combination.

Which explains why the Philippines has been drifting aimlessly all these terrible years since independence in 1946--that's a total of 61 years!--like a rudderless ship, tossed willy-nilly here and there by an angry sea.

I am afraid it will continue to do so--on and on...on and on--ad infinitum, or till hell freezes over.

Only in the Philippines

We have no need to visit insane asylums to meet with the mentally ill or spiritually sick people. We already came from such places. We are products of such institutions. They are called schools, colleges, and universities. Indeed, they are not even educational, but rather commercial enterprises. Among the wealthiest of theologians are the owners, if not major stockholders of schools, colleges, and universities throughout the Philippines. Poch Suzara

A 21st century Rare Filipino

A 21^st century rare Filipino Louie Fernandez wrote: “If the Filipino masses and our cowardly politicians were not like sheep to their priests and the Filipino Catholic hierarchy, and these intelligent priests were not mere mindless errand boys to the Vatican, this tragedy would not have happened.” I entirely agree without question.

If only our columnists and editors have the intellectual rarity of a Louie Fernandez – there is hope for our country. As it is, every year, we only seem to enjoy reading about the failure of our values and beliefs under the success of nothing in this country except Christianity. Poch Suzara

Mayor Jojo Binay

Mayor Jojo Binay of Makati said that: “Our country is not only bankrupt economically, but also bankrupt morally.” Phil Star Oct. 17, 2007.

May I also add bankrupt biblically? Look how, in this 21^st century, we continue to pray to a higher power to remedy the ills of our perpetually sick society?

We are, indeed, a corrupt people because of our corrupt faith in corrupt values and beliefs for the sake of the corrupt salvation of our corrupt souls.

To think corruption was brought into this land by corrupt Spanish friars, They too were gifted with corrupt free will from a corrupt country that was then ruled by a corrupt King.

Indeed, consider those corrupt Spanish religious criminals: they sold the Philippines to the United States of America, a nation just as greedy, selfish, stupid, insane, and indeed, just as corrupt, - for $20,000,000 dollars. Poch Suzara

Talk to God

If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you are hallucinating. God talked to Moses. Golly, God even dictated the Ten Commandments to Moses. Oh well, that was during the biblical century.

In this 21st century, however, God talked to the President of the USA; and, to the President of the Philippines.

As to what exactly God talked to them about, even the brightest among the Harvard University theologians had no idea. Poch Suzara
