God and the Fireman

God says that it is not his business to save a child from burning inside a building on fire because, to begin with, He did not cause the fire. And yet, a fireman saves a child inside a burning building even if the fireman did not also cause the fire! Isn’t it strange that a fireman could play God because God himself refuses to play God? Poch Suzara

Christianity

Christianity has done very little to promote civilization; in fact, Christianity has done a great deal to retard it.

In this 21st century Philippines, for example, there is hardly even a semblance of civilization. In the 19th century, for writing two great books based on the power of ideas and the values of civilization throughout his land, Christianity had our Jose Rizal arrested, tried, and executed by firing squad.

I submit, if Christianity had instead promoted, not shamelessly demoted, - the impact of Rizal’s writings, the Filipinos would be one of the most highly respected people and the Philippines one of the most greatly admired nations in all of Asia today. Ah, thanks to Christianity, we Filipinos remain only famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Where is Hell

Nobody, but nobody knows what mode of transportation can be used to travel to hell. Nobody, but nobody knows the direction on how to get to hell. Nobody, but nobody knows even if hell has an address? And yet, religious morons never cease to ask: if there is a hell?

I bet the Catholic theologians know everything there is to know about hell. After all, they invented the concept of hell for intelligent children who have hopes of being unfaithful and disobedient. They are destined to end up in hell. Poch Suzara

God and Evolution

I am told that evolution is evidence of God. God is part of nature that man has not yet studied.
If this were true, however, then God is natural, not supernatural. But then again, if God were part of nature, why would he declare such nonsense like: “My kingdom is not of this world?”

In the meantime, I will take sides with Carl Sagan, one of the greatest scientists our world has ever produced. In his Pale Blue Planet, he wrote:

“Two billion years ago our ancestors were microbes; a half-billion years ago, fish; a hundred million years ago, something like mice; ten million years ago, arboreal apes; and 1 million years ago, proto-humans puzzling out the taming of fire. Our evolutionary lineage is marked by mastery of change. In our time, the pace is quickening.” Poch Suzara

ONLY GOD

“Only God has the right to define what’s wrong.” Phil Star March 13,2008 If God could only wake up, He might begin to do right what has always been wrong with His original creation to begin with. For God’s sake, even the scientists are trying to find ways and means to improve the human conditions on this earth. Such as curing diseases, even conquering death. Now we are told that scientists are playing God. Well, if God would only stop wasting his powers fooling around and begin to play the role of God himself, we would have no need of scientists trying hard to make this world a better place than what the religious morons have made of it during these past centuries! Poch Suzara

Sin

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8.

It is insane to imagine a supernatural Being still bothered with stupid sin in this 21st century. Billions of Christians, Jews, and Muslims have already been born, sinned, and died on this earth since ages ago. Especially since His own son Jesus pretended to die on the cross to save the world from sin. Indeed, when Jesus resurrected from the dead, so have the deadly sins of the world resurrected along with Him. Poch Suzara

Free Will

“Our Father who art in heaven,” "give us this day our daily bread," "lead us not into temptation" and “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Free will is a myth. A biblical joke. We have no free will. Where is our free will if we were only doing God’s will on earth as it is in heaven? Where is your free will to do something for yourself without God or without the devil?Indeed, where is your free sense to attain for yourself self-respect and dignity as a thinking man? Poch Suzara

The Fool

The fool said in his heart “There is no God.” Well, as a fool myself, I say, let’s assume for a moment that there is a God: so how come God is always omni-­absent everywhere all the time; never omni-present anywhere at any time?

Well, more to the point I ask: what if there is a God, but no life after death? What if there is life after death, but no God? Either way, it still sucks, doesn’t it? Poch Suzara

Let There Be Light

God said: “let there be light.” How strangely honest of God to admit that He was not a bright shinning light himself. He had to create the sun to light up the pitch universal darkness around Him. Poch Suzara

Wild Beast

"Even wild beasts are not as ferocious as these Christians in their hatred for one another."--Ammianus, 4th century Roman historian.

Please Sir Ammianus, no need to insult them - wild beasts do not hate each other in God’s name, nor do they kill each other for his glory in heaven. If they do kill, however, it is for the sake of survival as their creator couldn’t give 2 hoots about their existence on this planet earth! Poch Suzara

Divine Plan

Was God really that all-knowing? Did God have ample experiences so as to insist that he could remedy human affairs and improve global events?

Instead of creating Adam and Eve, He should have first created for himself a mom and dad, a wife and in-laws, grandma and grandpa, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, uncles and aunties, and cousins. In this way, God need not have been lonely as a supernatural orphan living all alone in the vast universal darkness. In fact, with such divine relatives, God from up there could have shown real examples of love and affection for the human family to emulate down here. Poch Suzara

St. Augustine Wrote:

“The measure of love is to love without measure.” So how come God’s love for the world was measured with a cheap, if not with a rotten free will? Augustine was responsible for the phrase “original sin.” Before him it was known as ancestral sin. One would suppose that Augustine became God’s favorite saint only because he conveniently made excuses for God - the original creator who started the whole original mess to begin with. Poch Suzara

The Bigger Fool

The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. Well, I ask: Isn’t God the bigger fool for creating the fool who denies not only God’s existence, but also rejects God’s creative power? However the case may be, why would God create the fool as he created all men and women in his own image and likeness? Poch Suzara

Silly Bible

Everything in this world begins with the new and then it becomes old. Except the silly bible. It begins with the Old Testament and then it becomes the New Testament. As if there were any difference whatsoever between old evil or new evil in the biblical Testaments. Poch Suzara

How Wonderful of Christ

How wonderful of Christ to have died on the cross to save the world from sin as the sins of the world too died together with Christ.

How dreadful, however, when Christ resurrected, so did the sins of the world also resurrected. Well, Christ did not go back to the drawing board; instead, he promised to return to finish the job. That was more than 2,000 years ago. Poch Suzara



The Bible

The bible is a good book; unfortunately, good for nothing. Tens of millions of Christians have not read the bible. If they read it, however, and read verses that were confusingly incredible, if not incomprehensible, they called it “divine wisdom.” Sometimes, they even thought of it as the “Revealed Truth.” Poch Suzara

If God Does Not Exist

If God does not exist, everything is permitted? On the contrary, according to the priesthood industry, God exists and therefore everything is permitted. Look how the faithful believers always take advantage of the sacrament of forgiveness of sin available from God at any time. Specially those sinners and criminals elected into high government office.

Such an arrangement has certainly generated wealth, power, and glory for the priesthood industry. After all they own the unregistered patent: they invented the concept of sin and eternal punishment that goes to hell with it. Poch Suzara

Test Everything

The bible clearly states: “Test everything. Hold on to the good.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:21

I say: test everything especially the good. It too might be good for nothing. Poch Suzara

Deadly Religious Morons

They would rather visit their dead loved-ones buried in the cemetery; but never, would they ever, even dream of visiting their loved-ones in heaven. In the first place, nobody knows whether their loved-ones made it to heaven; in the second place, nobody knows where heaven is located. Even the theologians do not know; though they know or rather pretend to know a lot about God, and that God is everywhere.

In the meantime, what is immortality? It is the condition of dead people who refuse to believe they are already dead. Poch Suzara

Lively Religious Morons

It is interesting to observe how the religious morons try to prove the existence of God precisely by proving the existence of their own ignorance.

Listen closely to these two morons debating: I do not how God created the turtle’s shell. You do not know how God created the turtle’s shell. We both know, however, that God created the turtle’s shell.

In other words, the existence of unsolved problems proves the existence of God.
To worship “God” therefore is to worship ignorance.

Nobility or Stupidity

What is so noble about turning the other cheek, if one knows that each time he does so, he is piling up greater heavenly rewards, while the one who strikes him is earning his stupidity as his rewards in hell? Poch Suzara



Silly Prayer

Crucified on the cross, Jesus dying cried out: “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Now if God would not listen to the prayer of his own begotten Son, why should God listen to the prayer of grown-up men and women petrified like a bunch of little boys and girls feeling also forsaken? Poch Suzara

Bible Lessons

As an atheist, I ask: where is the love of reading as a lifetime adventure taught in the Old Testament? Where is the joy of free thought explained in the New Testament? Where is the definition of a decent man and a civilized woman written in the bible? Where is the definition of a happy home with happy children described in the bible? Where in the bible does it explain how to settle international disputes not with hate and war, but with the audacity of reason?

If the bible is a good book, how come, thus far, the bible has only been good for nothing? In fact, where is peace on earth and goodwill to all men, women, and children inspired by, and encouraged with, bible lessons? Poch Suzara

Thoughtless

Those who fear reading provocative material are those who have been frightened since childhood formative years to think not for themselves. They are no better off than those who are un-schooled or functionally illiterate or emotionally bamboozled. Poch Suzara

Atheist and Christian

If you come right down to it, there is little difference between some of the goals of the Christian and the Atheist: both value helping their fellow man.

The Atheist, however, is drawn to this goal out of unselfish love and sympathy – which arise from his sense of human decency and intelligence. For the Atheist, the ultimate goal in life is human happiness by making others also happy.

The Christian, sad to say, is driven to it out of fear for his own eternal welfare. For him, helping his fellow man is not an end in itself, but only a means of saving himself from damnation.

The Atheist realizes that he could be mistaken about what his best for his fellow man; so he is willing to change his mind. He welcomes criticisms.

The Christian cannot admit that his ideas of right and wrong might be mistaken, because to doubt would, again, imperil his immortal soul.

Thus, highly-indoctrinated, the Christian is a blind, senseless, panic-stricken victim who must keep running until he drops. He has nothing useful going for him in this world except blind faith in lies, deceit, fraud, and deception especially about the next life in the better world to come after death. Poch Suzara

Jose Rizal


If Christianity had not dragged Jose Rizal down and get him executed for promoting the power of science and reason, the Philippines today would be the most developed and the most advanced country in Asia today. Especially in the race to achieve the higher standard of thought as a free people and the higher standard of independence as a free nation.
Indeed, because of the tragic fate of great thinkers like our Jose, Rizal, the freedom of thought and the power of reason have never played seminal roles within our system of education. It is, in this way, we Filipinos in this 21st century are only more destructive and more at home with political and social decadence.
As disciples, followers and admirers of Jose Rizal, we Filipinos could have been more creative and familiar with the power of science and its devotion to the truth under the beauty of human intelligence.
Of course there is this cock and bull, theological hogwash invented by the shallow-minded Jesuit friars claiming in effect that before he was put to death, Rizal retracted. A fascinating fairy tale not worth elaborating for matured and intelligent readers on this page. Poch Suzara

More On Rizal

Jose Rizal would never write such scientific nonsense as published in “Rizal’s Life: Works and Writings: Their impact on our national legacy written by Capino, Gonzalez, and Pineda:

“It is our duty to follow the arid but peaceful and productive paths of science which lead to progress and thence to the unity desired and asked by Jesus Christ on the night of his sorrow.” Page 82
It is evident that a man with the caliber of scientific outlook on life cannot let himself be submissive by biblical texts or by teachings of the Catholic friars who hated him. I am suggesting Rizal never wrote those words referring to Jesus Christ. Religious morons added those words to Rizal’s writings to make him look like he never abandoned his faith that kills. Poch Suzara

It Is Hard

It is hard to be an atheist if you were not an avid reader; especially if you have not thoroughly and properly read the bible. Indeed, it is hard to meet educated atheists who are not conversant with bible contradictions, inconsistencies, immoralities, obscenities, absurdities, atrocities, mendacities, and indeed, monstrosities.
Think of the claim that the bible was written by inspired authors of God. If this were so, how come the millions of bible readers have not been as equally inspired to read and to discover the inexcusable errors written in the bible? Poch Suzara

Science

Astronomy explains how we live on a speck of debris from a cosmic explosion billions of years ago.
Geology explains how brief is our existence on this earth both as individuals and as a species.
Biology explains how through millions of years, we humans evolved and are still evolving from lower into higher forms of life.
The science of astronomy, geology, and biology are more than enough for me to justify my stand on atheism as something more revealing, vigorous and courageous. Poch Suzara

War on Poverty

In the never-ending war against poverty, how come poverty is always winning? How come the government forces combined with the forces of the church continue to dismally fail to defeat poverty permanently out of our sick society?
In the meantime, poverty is the symptom: Christianity is the disease. Filipinos are not Christians because they are poor, they are poor because they are Christians. The war against poverty therefore should first be a war against the lies and deception behind the corrupt commercial enterprise known Christianity. Poch Suzara

The Excommunication Business

The church officials cannot afford to excommunicate government officials because they are all mutually involved together in the lucrative business of corruption in the Philippines.
Look how church officials are enjoying tax exempt status from the State. Look how the government officials are enjoying the forgiveness of sin and crime from God and His church! Poch Suzara

Most Women

Most women love mediocrity in men. Most men, just so to score sooner to what’s in between a woman’s leg, would readily manifest that their mediocrity is even inspired by a divinity. Poch Suzara

Politics and Religion in the Philippines

I hate Religion and its illusions. I hate politics and its delusions. Far more severe, I hate blind faith as it supports both religion and politics in cahoots together in the corrupt business of sin and crime. The Philippines is one example of what stupid religion combined with stupid politics can accomplish together. Especially to keep a whole nation poor, backward, frightened, and insane, - with lies, deceit, fraud, corruption and deception. Poch Suzara Twitter# Google#

One Day

One day, whether I like it or not, nature will kill me. For me, however, to be on my bended knees listening to religious morons about asking the Lord for the forgiveness of my stupid sins before I die, I say, no way. I’d rather kill myself first. Phooey on Thy Kingdom Come. Poch Suzara

The poor in Spirit

For all of its concern about the “poor in spirit” in the Philippines, Christianity does its best not only to spread spiritual poverty daily, insure moral bankruptcy weekly, support political stupidity monthly, but also, indeed, to promote social insanity yearly. And in blind faith, since the 16th century, we naturally cannot see just exactly how blessed we all are in this God-forsaken Philippines already in the 21st century. Poch Suzara

World's Poorest People

We Filipinos are among the poorest people in this world. We possess no wealth of knowledge of the nature of life or death. We possess no wealth of knowledge of the hereafter. We possess no wealth of knowledge of the nature of the existence of God. What’s more ticklish about this poverty situation, however, is that we possess no wealth of knowledge of the nature of souls. We possess no wealth of knowledge of the nature of heaven or even where it is located; and we possess no wealth of knowledge of the nature of God’s enemy - Satan. But we are told that with faith in God – we shall all be saved after death. Otherwise, we will be punished eternally in hell, - again a place where even the most brilliant of Filipino theologians have no idea whatsoever as to where exactly hell is located out there whether it is outside or inside the universe. As if there is a thing that could exist outside the universe! Poch Suzara

Incredibly Stupid

It is not incredible to see why poor people need money. What’s incredibly stupid, however, is to see people already rich still needing more money. The rich morons naturally cannot see that there is such a thing as poverty of the worst kind – the poverty of the mind. I have met a few of these rich morons who need more money to support their drug-addict sons and grandsons, if not alcoholic daughters and grand-daughters.
Of course I also know of this poorly paid college professor. He lives off his rich wife, but he needs more money to fuck around with other women just as dumbstruck as his wife. Poch Suzara

The Rich and Famous

In countries that enjoy social or political decadence they have individuals known as the rich and the famous. We too have those in the Philippines. They are the rich and famous individuals known as government officials, corrupt businessmen, and Catholic Church officials known as the Bishops and Cardinals. Not to mention, another rich and famous billionaire – Brother Mike Velarde of El Shaddai. Millions of Filipinos have not stopped buying what Brother Mike Velarde has been selling: - Jesus – the Son of God – the Savior of Filipinos. Poch Suzara

Most Subjects

Think of it: most subjects taught to children as formative years in grade school have neither social nor practical value for this life. By the time, however, they finish high school and college, most of the youth of our land are more familiar with the hereafter than they are prepared for this good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. They would rather win eternal salvation in the Kingdom of God than contribute something of value to the kingdom of Man. Poch Suzara

George Carlin

Atheist-comedian George Carlin says that religion is bullshit. Please George, let us not bullshit the bullshit. It at least serves as fertilizers in many Asian countries for better and more productive farming technique. Religion, on the other hand, has only kept most countries religiously poor and backward like the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara

Joy

Have you found joy in life? The greatest of which is the joy of free thought? Have you touched the lives of others with the joy of lively and intelligent thinking rather than just the joy of deadly and stupid believing? Poch Suzara

The Oath for Office of the President

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully and conscientiously fulfill my duties as President of the Philippines, preserve and defend its Constitution, execute its laws, do justice to every man, and consecrate myself to the service of the Nation. So help me God."
As a matter of fact, any president who needs help from a God who does not exists, deserves not to be the president of any Republic. Really, if God exists and he helps, God can do a better job than any president can. Indeed, if there is a God, we have no need of a Constitution, courts, lawyers, policemen or laws for the nation. In fact, we have no need for Churches, schools, colleges, and universities if God’s existence were real? In fact, we have no need of a president who admits that we, the people, did not vote for her, but that God put her in the presidential office of the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Our Sick Society

When one Pinoy suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When millions of Pinoys suffer from a delusion, it is called Christianity.
If we Pinoys do not see this piece of revealed truth, it is only because we have been indoctrinated to be always proud of our blind faith. Poch Suzara

Biblical Promises

Everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks, finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. “ Luke 11:10
If our children in school were taught that these bible promises are nothing but insults to the values of hard work under the perspiration of human intelligence, we would already be enjoying growth as a people and maturity as a nation centuries ago. Poch Suzara

Christianity

We are told that if Christianity never spread in the Philippines, we Filipinos today would be still savages untouched by civilization. We would still be pagans if the Catholic Spain never arrived to colonize the Philippines to spread the will of God to save the Filipino soul.
If this were so, can any of you catholic bishops explain how come in this 21st the Philippines is still pretty much infested with: cheaters, thieves, drunkards, adulterers, fornicators, gamblers, robbers, murderers, kidnappers, looters, liars, swindlers, embezzlers, falsifiers, fixers, peddlers, betrayers, plunderers, losers, wife-beaters, child-abusers, perjurers, corrupt politicians, sex-starved priests, indeed, not to mention the never-ending supply of stupid sinners? Poch Suzara

The Trouble

The trouble with most men is their lack of self-respect and dignity. They are also incapable of genuine and lasting love. Thus, instead of loving one intelligent woman for the sake of the advancement of knowledge and its diffusion, these sex-starved morons would rather be fecundating around with women equally lacking in self-respect and dignity for the sake of confusion, if not delusion.
In the meantime, our women, always under threat of eternal damnation have been mentally enslaved to obey the will of God. What, however, is so silly about this situation, is that nobody knows what the will of God commands. Only the priests, bishops, cardinals, and the Pope know the nature of those mysteries known as the Revealed Truth. Poch Suzara

Asian Countries

Asian countries, except the Philippines, have their own native born religion. Ours is not a local, but a foreign God born in a Jewish land some 2,000 years ago. In all of Asia, in matters of religion, we Filipinos are the only ones spiritually poor and morally bankrupt. In the meantime, in this only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos continue to waste time and energy worshipping a Jewish God. At this time, in the 21st century, we should already be civilizing ourselves instead of saving our silly souls that does not even exist. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Catholic Church

We cannot fight the Catholic Church. But we can and should expose the lies and deception behind the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic Church.
Indeed, Catholics are not the masters of the Revealed Truth. They are, in fact, the victims as the Revealed Truth has yet to be revealed.
I was once a devout Catholic. Thank God not anymore. I excommunicated myself out of my church since I was 16 years old. Poch Suzara

We Filipinos

We Filipinos are born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid not because of education, but because of Catholic commercial enterprises more known as Catholic schools, Catholic colleges, Catholic and universities.
In this only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century, when we Filipinos do something we are guilty of, we are instantly aware there is always our faith in a loving God who will readily forgive our sins and crimes and other variegated forms of stupidity. Poch Suzara

Why Evil will always Triumph

Evil triumphs when good men and good women do nothing? This is a lot of biblical hogwash. Evil triumphs when a good God and a good devil do not only amicably tolerate each other's silly existence, but also compassionately support and maintain each other’s evil persistence. When men and women are good, but especially good for nothing, evil will always triumph. Poch Suzara

National Solution


One solution to our country’s historical troubles: no more childish prayer for the sake of a childish theology. Only more science and technology.

Indeed, science and technology that should, as nothing else could, quickly extricate the Philippines up and out of its historical quagmire in fear and superstition, and indeed, in the belief in life after death in the kingdom of God. Poch Suzara

Foreigners

What do the Spaniards, Japanese, Americans, Chinese, Koreans, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Thais, Australians, British, Germans, and, especially, indeed the rich and powerful citizens of the Vatican State - all have in common? These foreigners are now rightful land owners of the Republic of the Philippines. During the past decades, ever since we were granted independence by America, and for personal gain, our high government officials have been busy selling Philippine assets and properties to any wealthy foreign investor buying.
What, however, do the vast majority of poor and miserable Filipino citizens share in common? We all have faith in life after death to come in the kingdom of God in heaven. Poch Suzara

Catholic Bishops

The Catholic bishops have never taught the Filipino self-respect as a people or even dignity as a nation. In fact, these bishops have only been hungry for thought control of our women and our children, and not to mention pretty much insane for secular power too.
Consider the vast majority of the Filipinos taught always that it is better to believe than it is to know? That no matter what, there is always available from God the forgiveness of sins and crimes? Thus, kickbacks in public office, cronyism and nepotism, smuggling, lying, cheating, corruption, etc are not sins or crimes, but rather blessings from God with opportunities to forgive the fall of men. Poch Suzara

Three Masters

No man can serve two masters. Matt. 6:22-24. Gee, Matthew, you are so damned right. It is ridiculous to serve two masters especially when one is always omni-absent; never omni-present!
But then again, how come millions of spiritually poor and morally bankrupt Filipinos have always been able to serve not only two, but three masters: the Catholic Bishops, high government officials, and the foreigners who are now the legal owners of most of valuable property and assets comprising the Republic of the Philippines? Poch Suzara

Divine History

During the past centuries people believed in the divine rights of the king’s government. In this 21st century, we Filipinos still believe in the divine authority of the Catholic Bishops over our government.
Former President Joseph Estrada was charged, convicted, jailed, and pardoned by President Gloria M. Arroyo. If the Catholic Bishops were not allowed to meddle in matters of the State, there would be no such horror as the forgiveness of sin and crime in our insane government. Poch Suzara

Poverty

Poverty is the greatest of our sins and the worst of our crimes. Millions of Filipinos are not Christians because they are poor, they are poor because they are Christians. Indeed, Christianity has always had a vested interest in misery and poverty. Poverty is the symptom. Christianity is the disease. The fight against poverty should be focused at its roots. Nothing can remedy poverty unless we first get rid of Christianity. Indeed, it is time for those poor in spirit to evaporate and let those rich in spirit take over to establish in our own land a sinless and a crimeless society. To insist that God loves the poor because he made so many of them is an argument against God. Really, if God could give free will to the rich to help them enjoy the higher standard of thinking, why couldn’t God give the same free will to the poor to help them to enjoy a higher standard of living? Poch Suzara

Blind Faith

Thanks to blind faith so prevalent in this only Christian country in Asia, we are even blind to the garbage all around us. Garbage in our streets and highways. Garbage in our homes. Garbage in our schools, colleges, and universities. Garbage in our corporate and government offices. Garbage in our Churches and Cathedrals; and indeed, the most stinking of all – the garbage in our minds and hearts. Look how we all love God up there by being filthy and polluted and corrupt to each other down here.

In tbe meantime, no doubt, there is the power of blind faith. It comes from the power of blind ignorance. Poch Suzara

Blog Comment

The difference between Christianity and other religions is that in other religions, people search for God. For a Christian, God searches for you!”Really? But isn’t God suppose to be everywhere and people need not be busy searching for God or God need not be busy searching for people? What’s the point of God being omni-present here or there, but omni-absent everywhere. So God created the world! So what? It is the devil gifted with a free will that keeps the world going.

Isn’t it time to realize that the glory of creation lies in its consummation, not in its inception? And this consummation should not be global stupidity; precisely, it should be perfected humanity.

Old and New Religion

In the old religion, God will provide. In the new religion, however, the universe will provide. If either were true, how come in the end no one can even survive? After a brief moment of life on this speck of dust called earth, we are quickly poofed out of existence and the billions of galaxies out there couldn’t care less.

Dear Jesus

Dear Jesus, Millions of your Filipino followers are filthy poor. Only a few of your Filipino followers are filthy rich. All, however, rich and poor alike, are waiting for your return. What’s holding up the show? Where are you Jesus? It has been more than 2,000 years already. Why did you make a promise you could not deliver sooner? Time has elapsed! Oh Jesus, do you know that millions of Filipinos who are college educated Catholics have to earn a living overseas. These are in foreign countries that do not even believe you to be the Son of God who performed wonderful miracles or that you are the Savior of the Filipinos! Poch Suzara

In School

In La Salle grade school and in high school we were threatened with punishment if we dared to read the great books written by great thinkers and philosophers. I somehow disobeyed. Down through the years, I began to clearly see why we are a people of childish prayers; and not a nation of matured readers.

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

“Beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” Luke 12:15

Gee Luke, you are so right! What is the Church doing with abundance - its trillions of dollars in cash deposits in the Vatican Bank? Poch Suzara

Intellect

“The greatest of intellect without religion in the heart, is only civilized barbarism, and disguised animalism.” Bunsen

Well, what about the senseless death of Jesus crucified on the cross here on earth? His own Father in heaven abetted and tolerated the carnage; or, was that just a theological barbarism, if not just an ecclesiastical animalism? Poch Suzara

Dr. Harold J. Sala

This famous minister says that the science of archaeology has contributed more to substantiating the authenticity of the holy bible than most people know about. Really? What about the science of astronomy where it discovered that we are a speck of debris from the cosmic explosion? Where is that discovered and explained in the bible?
What about the science of geology that reminds us of our brief existence both as individuals and as a species? Where is that elucidated in the bible?
Dr. Harold J. Sala says that the bible was written in a world of flesh and blood, of commerce, of intrigue, of love and death. Hell, Dr. Sala! If these were the case, why would the authors of the bible need inspiration from a loving God to write such superstitious nonsense?

Phooey

Whoever slanders the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven: he carries the guilt of his sin forever. Mark 3:29

Phooey on the Holy Spirit. Phooey on the forgiveness of sin. Phooey on the guilt of my sin forever. And for being such a bully, phooey on you too Mark! What did you, as a superstitious author of God, really know anything about what is holy and what is a spirit? In fact, what did you know anything about God? Poch Suzara

Biblical Zombies

Here's one revealed truth in the HOLY bible as written by inspired authors of God: And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. And came out of the graves . . . And went into the holy city, and appeared to many.” Matt. 37: 52- 53. Quite a few of those biblical Zombies migrated to the Philippines and got to be installed as teachers and professors in our Catholic schools, colleges, and universities. Millions of us Filipinos got to be the "idiots," "Morons," "stupid fools" as we were all indoctrinated to believe their teachings as they were the resurrected zombies. They all frightened us to believe as well that we too are gifted with a FREE WILL especially to enjoy too after we are dead - the miracle of resurrection back to life with Jesus on earth as HE is in heaven! It is insane, isn't it? Well, here's another revealed truth written in the bible which nobody likes to read or to admit as a revealed truth: "THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING, NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY MORE A REWARD FOR THE MEMORY OF THEM IS FORGOTTEN." Eccl 9:5 Poch Suzara

The Human Body Created by God

"In cancer," wrote Bertrand Russell, "a group of cells engages in a career of imperialism, but, in bringing the rest of the body to death, it decrees also its own extinction." Well, about the 20 billion kinds of germs, bacteria, and viruses existing inside our body during birth? We are told the human body is God’s greatest gift to man. How wonderful. Sadly, however, the human body at birth, grows, gets old and it dies. The human body is eventually killed by those deadly little microscopic monsters - all bereft of moral values - deadly little creatures living inside our body as a housing facilities but gifted too with free will on this earth for the glory of God in heaven. It is, in this sense, that I ask: have any you ever met any one who has been blessed by God? Blessed how and for how long? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Original Evil

If this world, with all of its birth and pain, suffering and death, is the work of a self-conscious Being, then creation is the original crime and the creator is the original criminal. Which is which therefore: God will forgive us, or, we will forgive God? Poch Suzara

Ask Not

As not what you can do for God. Ask, instead, what God can do for you. After all, God has the power, the kingdom, and the glory. We humans have nothing! We even live on a speck of dust called earth lost in the immensity of space and time. In the meantime, we were taught to believe that God is omni-present and that religion is ubiquitous. And yet nobody knows where religion comes from just as much as nobody knows why God is always omni-absent! Poch Suzara

Columnist William M. Esposo

Columnist Esposo of Philippine Star wrote in the Philippine Star today Feb.19, 2008:

“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."

Sir, may I refer you to the foundation of our values and beliefs keeping us spiritually poor as a people and morally bankrupt as a nation?
It comes from our most sacred book known as the holy bible. I hope these verses alone will inspire you to read more properly bible contents. In this way, you might conclude that most of the elements that make for our sick society comes from Christianity “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." John 2:15
Matt. 10:34-35 “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword,” “For I am come to set a Man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother.”
Mark 13:12 “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and
children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.”
Luke 12:51-53Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. For from henceforth there shall be five to one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother
Luke 14:26 “ If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple
St John 12:25-25 “He that loveth his life shall lose it; he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal; . . . If any man serve me, him will my father honor.”
Luke 19:27 “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.”

MAP Statement

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

The Greatest Filipino Tragedy

The greatest tragedy of the Filipino as a people is his faithful tolerance for deadly ignorance. We are famous the world over not as a people mindful of health and sanitation, or thoughtful of law and order, or appreciative of family planning and birth control standards, or common human decency, or respectful of our women, but only famous for our faith in Jesus – the Son of God – the Savior of the Philippines born as a Jew in Israel some 2,000 years ago that today is not even a Christian country, but a Jewish State. We hardly ask: “What’s happening to our poor and backward country in this already 21st century?” We should, instead, be seriously asking: What’s happening to our so-called sacred values beliefs as the only Christian country in Asia? What exactly has Christianity in general, and the Catholic church in particular done historically to contribute anything substantial that have inspired the Filipino to live the good and decent life – one inspired by love and guided by the power of knowledge? Poch Suzara

Religion

“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 Suzara

My Religion

My religion is about enlightened unbelief; not the religion of frightened belief. Questions are far more important than the answers. After all, in time, the answers become obsolete. I question everything so as not to constrain my life of understanding. Poch Suzara

Bible Authors

Bible 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

Philosophy

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 Suzara

Education

Owners of schools, College and university owners ought to be the guardians of civilization. Teachers and professors ought ought to be the guardians of a sane and a healthy society.

We think of education as the transmission of a certain body of settled knowledge. On the contrary, education ought to be about the development of a scientific habit of mind. Indeed, learning as a process of lively analysis, and not a matter of deadly paralysis. It is sad and painful to see college educated men and women of this country carry a heavy load of useless guilt on their backs. They are intellectually crippled by its destructive weight. It is, in this way, that they readily serve a silly divinity up there rather than play a role in the development of our country for its growth and maturity down here. Poch Suzara

Women Writers

No woman writer contributed a single word while the bible was being written by male superstitious primitives a.k.a. as the inspired authors of God. I love women. When it comes to religious writings, they have no taste for such superstitious garbage. Poch Suzara

Love versus Hate

I am known to be a failure, a loser, a bitter fellow, a high-school dropout, an insane atheist, a poor bum; and, indeed, a man of hate. Only because I love this life as much as I love this world. Our world. There is even a moron on these pages who asked if I was on drugs or on alcohol? I am at war against those who make a mockery of human intelligence. Especially those who believe that if we love this world and if we love the things that are in this world – the love of God is not with us! I said it before, I say it again: FUCK THAT HOLY MESSAGE BIBLE SHIT. In the meantime, I really do not know what’s the big deal about God being the creator of the world since it is the silly devil who keeps this world, our world - all FUCKED running it to no end for the greater glory of his sick God in heaven! Poch Suzara

Success

To 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

Church History

If we would only bother to discover church history, we could discover this horror: In God’s name, the atheists were booted out of town, ostracized, arrested, punished, tortured, incarcerated, drowned, boiled, garroted, hanged, burned, shot, and executed for bringing enlightenment to free the human mind! Such was the case against Giordano Bruno, a Catholic monk during the 16th century. For believing and preaching that there are other worlds out there, and for believing that everything perishes but nothing changes, the church had him arrested, tried, and sentenced to death by burning him alive on a stake in a public arena. Of course another was our own Jose Rizal – the greatest Filipino freethinker. He was executed for his harmful writings against the Catholic teachings to Filipinos in the Philippines.

Oh God

Oh God, I sometimes imagine you exist. If you were a real, honest-to-goodness existing God, we Americans would have no need for Superman, Batman and Robin, Spiderman, and other weird characters in the White House to install freedom and democracy in foreign around to save the world! Poch Suzara

Genetic Facts

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

Pain and Christianity

Pain is nature’s signal to do something. Religion is the signal to do nothing. Thus, religion encourages pain, misery, poverty, indeed - a sick society. It is all about the failure of values and beliefs under the success of Christianity. Poch Suzara

Some things Are Impossible

Some things are impossible. For example, it is impossible to love this world after birth; especially after you have been threatened to believe that there is a better world to come after death. Poch Suzara

Wow Wee

There were no Filipinos present during the First Coming of the Lord in Judea, Bethlehem during the first century; and yet a great many Filipinos actually expected to be present in the Second Coming of the Lord in the Philippines. during the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and now expected to arrive in this 21st century? Well, thank God their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are still doing the same thing - waiting for the Second Coming of the Lord to remedy all the ills of our sick society.
Wow Wow Wee! Poch Suzara

What an Insult

What an insult it must be to your soul landing in heaven knowing that its former house – God’s greatest gift to mankind - your precious human body – is left behind on earth faithfully dead and religiously rotting. Poch Suzara

American Cats and Dogs

Millions of cats and dogs live like humans in America. Millions of Americans, however, live like animals in the streets of America. And to prove just how stupid we Americans are in the eyes of the world – we continue to be at war against other countries just to remind the sick cats and sick dogs struggling to survive in those foreign countries that America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Poch Suzara

Atheists Hate War

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.

If I could Pick My Valentine

I pick Hypatia – the Greek philosopher, a teacher of mathematics and astronomy in Alexandria. A woman renowned for her beauty. In an age of bigotry, she adhered to the Neoplatonic philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. With eloquence and intellect, the whole of Alexandria trembled whenever Hypatia lectured. The search of the truth was to her priceless. She was a woman of self-respect and dignity not only for herself but also especially for her community. Hypatia was a brilliant teacher who rejected unfounded dogmas. She laughed at the superstitious primitives of her days. She was ruthlessly murdered – a victim of religious fanaticism more than 15 centuries ago. Hypatia lived in the 5th century – a time characterized by destructive forces. The Roman Empire was falling apart. During this period of confusion, the church, however, was more troubled by Christian disunity and women's virginity. In her time, a complicated controversy on incarnation was prevalent. The question at issue was the relation of Christ's divinity to his humanity. Did Christ have two aspects, one human and the other divine? There were those who objected to calling the Virgin "Mother of God." She was, they said, only the mother of the human person, while the divine person, who was God, has no mother. The church was divided on this question. But the view that Christ was one Person with two aspects, human and divine, won in the end. Its chief protagonist was Cyril, the Archbishop of Alexandria. A man of fanatical zeal, who supported orthodoxy, and persecuted the Jewish community in Alexandria. Cyril, the church authority, had no influence over Hypatia. He hated her. Hypatia was the head of the Alexandria library. She symbolized learning and science, which at that time, the church authority largely identified with paganism. But Hypatia was also on good terms with Orestes, a pagan, who was also the city's chief Magistrate. As such, Hypatia was the focal point in the tensions and riots between Christians and non-Christians that have racked Alexandria. In order to show others what it means to deviate away from Christian beliefs and values, Cyril gathered a small mob together to get rid of Hypatia. She was "torn from her chariot, stripped naked, dragged to the church, and inhumanely butchered: her flesh was scraped from her bones with sharp oyster shells and her quivering limbs were delivered to the flames." After this Christian act of mercy, Alexandria was no longer troubled by philosophers; Cyril, however, was canonized a saint. As for Hypatia, because we never heard of her in our schools, colleges, and universities, her name has been forgotten. If I were granted a wish, I wish to have been with Hypatia during her last day of life on this earth. In defending her, I gladly would have been proud getting killed alongside protecting her. But as my wish cannot be granted, I would just be honored, if Hypatia, in spirit, will be my Valentine today. Hypatia, wherever you are, I love you, respect you, and admire you. You are among the rarest and greatest women who ever lived in this world. Poch Suzara

How We Live

A God directly involved with us but only after death is a God who must be just as dead. Such a dead God in heaven is not worth bothering while we are still alive on this earth.

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 Suzara

Suicidal Atheists

My dear reader, have you heard of atheists blowing themselves up with dynamite for the sake of killing others? Indeed, have you heard of sexually-starved, driven by lust atheists who believed that a God in heaven will be waiting for them with 72 virgins as a reward for insane acts against other atheists? Poch Suzara

Our Sick Society

How come ours is a sick society? College educated men and women still pray to God. The same God who never lifted a finger to rescue his own begotten Son nailed to a wooden stick.

If God in heaven could not settle his sick troubles with the devil in hell, why should God settle our sick troubles with the devil on this earth? And how could any one be so childish as to believe that God’s help is just a prayer away? Poch Suzara

Fr. James Reuter and Filipino Souls

He preaches on the evils of family planning and birth control. He claims that he is helping poor Filipino families and saving Filipino souls. He has been active with this divine mission for some 60 years in the Philippines. Fr. James Reuter does not save, will not save, and could not save - American minds and hearts in America, but he can only save Filipino souls in the Philippines for a Jewish God in heaven? Wow Wee! Poch Suzara

The Rotten Idiot

Whoever 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

God’s First Command

“Thou shall have no other gods before me.” Wow, where did those other gods come from? Who created them? If God did not believe in the existence of other gods, was God an atheist too? Poch Suzara

ONE HUNDRED BILLION

More than a hundred billion people - Christians, Jews, and Muslims have already lived and died in this world. Ever since the Talking Serpent persuaded Adam and Eve to fuck each other. No, there was no need of prayers as God was there existing as a neighbor to prevent the sin. Billions of people have stuck to their prayers but God seemed yet satisfied with having already damned to hell many of the souls of these religious morons. In the meantime, by comparison with the existence of the universe, human existence on this speck of dust called earth as something so puny and insignificant. And if there is a God out there bothered by what we do or do not do down here – then that God must be nothing but a weird monster who likes to frighten people from up there! Poch Suzara

It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:23

God Bless - No thanks

GOD BLESS YOU are words uttered daily by millions of religiously dumbstruck Filipinos everywhere. But if millions of Filipinos were truly blessed by God, how come millions of Filipinos continue to live under misery, filth, and poverty in this poor and backward in this Asia’s only Christian country? In the meantime, in the bible itself, here are examples of words uttered by a kind and loving God in the business of blessing the faithools: “Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces." Malachi 2:3 GOD BLESS YOU TOO! Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

Millions

Nobody knows, not even God, just exactly how many millions of baptized Filipino Catholic live under subhuman conditions in the Philippines. However the case may be, these poverty-stricken Catholic Filipinos existing in the streets, under bridges, huts and hovels are consistently reminded that God loves them; and, that Jesus, the Son of God, will soon return. The biblical promise has been going on daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly for almost 2,000 years now. From this Islas de ladrones y bobos, millions of Catholic Filipinos have already migrated and are now living and well-employed in some 190 foreign countries. This simply means that Filipinos are the failures in their own Catholic countries, but are happy and successful living and working in non-Catholic countries. Poch Suzara
