Indeed, we Filipinos are born ignorant, not stupid; we are made stupid not by an educational, but by the powerful commercial enterprises otherwise more known as Catholic schools, colleges, and universities.

“Beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” Luke 12:15
“The greatest of intellect without religion in the heart, is only civilized barbarism, and disguised animalism.” Bunsen
Whoever slanders the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven: he carries the guilt of his sin forever. Mark 3:29
“Have you ever wondered if all this mess that we are in is
actually
outgrowths of the dysfunctional family relationships of our well-known couple."
For the sake of good governance, the management Association of the Philippines, (MAP) called on - “the religious leaders to speak out in thunderous language and condemn the moral degradation of our government bureaucracy, and we unequivocally join the Catholic bishops’ call for “communal action” to regain our moral compass and, with it, our nation’s dignity and self-respect.” Philippine Start Feb. 14, 2008
We are, indeed, a nation of childish morons. We call on the Catholic bishops to scold our rotten government officials who are the products of catholic schools, colleges, and universities in this only catholic country in Asia.
What exactly have these Catholic Bishops done during these past 400 years to teach the Filipino to have self-respect as a people and to have dignity as a nation? Why must our government officials continue the corrupt marriage between State and Church in our country?
The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men and women to keep on submitting to the destructive beliefs taught to them during childhood years by the Catholic Church and other Christian churches. Such religious establishments continue to keep the Philippines poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, sick politically, insane socially, and backward economically.
I said it before, I say it again: Look how we Filipinos love not our country, nor do we love fellow-Filipinos. We love only God up there as we were taught to hate this world and to hate one another down here? Poch Suzara“Any system of religion that has in it anything that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.” Thomas Paine.
Men and women who continue to have faith in what shocked them during childhood years in school have got to be the psycho-ceramics as called in the scientific term; or, in the layman’s language, – crackpots. Poch SuzaraBible authors had no knowledge of the planet earth being round, rotating on its own axis daily, and orbiting around the sun yearly. Why did an All-knowing God inspire the bible authors to be ignorant of the science of astronomy?
In the meantime, why should God tell us how to raise and educate our children when he Himself had drowned and suffocated His own? Before the Flood, the loving God Told Noah: “To hell with sinners; to hell with your neighbors. SAVE THE ANIMALS.” Poch Suzara
I love philosophy. It begins when one learns to doubt. Especially to doubt one’s faith in the existence of hogmas, pigmas, and dogmas.
I love Philosophy as I hate theology. Philosophy teaches us HOW to think. Theology teaches us WHAT to believe. I remember as a little boy, with too much theology, I believed and had faith in a lot of religious hogwash! I am therefore grateful to philosophy: she saved not my soul, but saved instead my precious mind. Poch SuzaraTo enjoy success in our sick society, it is not enough to be educated as a faithful believer. One must also be selfish, greedy, stupid, insane, and especially, God-fearing. Indeed, in order to succeed in our sick society, one must first prove that the reptilian part of your brain is much bigger than the mammalian part. Our society has always been ruled by sick reptiles in the shape of sick politicians in cahoots with the sick theologians.
In the meantime, we Filipinos have yet to discover that happiness can only be discovered by promoting happiness to other Filipinos.
Sadly, however, in this poor and backward country, we are only happy whenever we remember there is a better world to come after we are all dead! Poch Suzara
According to the science of Genetics, all people are 99.9 per cent identical. Yet people hate and kill each other for being different and that difference is often due to faith in God.
If God, however, could not remove stupid religion out of this world, what assurances have we that God already removed stupid religion in the next world if, in fact, there is any? Poch Suzara
We atheists hate war because of its death and destruction. War solves nothing. We atheists recognize the absolute finality of death. We do not believe in the existence of a next happy life in a heaven with God, nor do we recognize the existence of a next painful life in a hell with the devil. We atheists believe in peace on earth and goodwill to all men, women, and children. That’s all.
In the meantime, atheism may be negative in character. But it is neither destructive nor constrictive. When atheism is used to eradicate fear and superstition and its detrimental effects upon the minds of men and the hearts of women, atheism is a healthy approach not only for local tranquility, but mainly for global sanity. Poch Suzara
As an atheist, I love this life. I love this world. Our world. I do not care for what’s nothing out there after I am dead. Neither do I give a hoot to what was nothing out there before I was born.
If I allow one kind of fear to dominate me, all other kinds will dominate me also. I will have none of it. Fear is forever busy and needs to dominate victims. Poch SuzaraWhoever says: “If God does not exist, then everything is permitted,” has got to be a greedy, selfish, rotten idiot who never learned to appreciate his natural capacity to look at our troubled world with courage, understanding, love, or compassion. Poch Suzara
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord.” Isaiah 1:18 – a proposal made by the Lord in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, however, the same Lord proposed: “If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, wife and children, and yea, his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26, Matt 10:34-37
Of all forms of power, the most destructive is the power of madness.
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, 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
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
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
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
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 SuzaraIf 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
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
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
If God in heaven could not settle his troubles with the devil in hell, what makes you people believe that God can settle your troubles on earth? And who is the religious moron who threatened you to believe that God’s help is just a prayer away? Poch Suzara
A man who says: “if God does not exist, everything is permissible and nothing matters,” is a man who is greedy, selfish, rotten idiot who never bother to look at our troubled world with love and compassion. Poch Suzara
What do the believers and the fools share in good faith? They have been indoctrinated to belittle the power of reason. Thus, to readily embrace extra-terrestrial mendacity even at the expense of terrestrial veracity. Poch Suzara
“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
God loves us not because of who we are, but because of who He is. Phil. Star Jan 7,2008
Gee God, as you are a God, how come you still allow the devil to exist? He sees to it that we continue to pray daily to you God to lead us not into temptation? Amen! Poch Suzara
“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
"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
“If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:14.
Treasures in heaven are laid up as treasures on earth are laid down. Phil Star, Dec. 13,2007
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
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.
In the meantime, a man of faith is like a silly drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination. Poch Suzara
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
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
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 that Jesus was a Jewish Son of God, not a Filipino Son of God. And to think further that in this 21st century, Jesus remains as a minor character in the Jewish history of customs and tradition. Poch Suzara
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 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
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
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
In the last judgment, how would Jesus and his disciples explain to God their sad failure in converting Israel - the land of their own birth from the Jewish religious land into Christianity in general, or into Catholicism in particular? Poch Suzara
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
Our unknown future is secure in the hands of our all-knowing God. Phil. Star Dec. 26, 2007
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
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 SuzaraThe 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 SuzaraIn 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
