The Failure of Most Marriages

Most marriages fail miserably because to begin with most men only want to fuck and to fuck women. They do not care to raise children which is what marriage is all about. That is why, for the sake of not bringing unhappy children into our already insane world, the prevention of unwanted pregnancy education is a must while men and women enjoy fucking each other. To think that 3 babies are born every minute of the day and night in this poor and backward country. That is about 1.5 million babies each and every year added to the population growth of the Philippines. Most of these babies are the result of an unhappy or failed marriages, if not out of wedlock. Their fathers have been taught to believe and to have faith in God who will provide - if not this world, in the next world to come after death. Poch Suzara

The Tooth Matters

According to the Department of Health, 98 per cent of the Philippine population suffer from tooth decaying, molars rotting, and gums bleeding.

Now what can be expected of Pinay mothers who have been taught to believe not so much in the values of personal health and sanitation but to have faith only in our terrestrial degradation for the sake of gaining eternal salvation? Poch Suzara

Simple Change

I want simple change in the Filipino to begin to enjoy health and wealth as a people. I also want simple change in the Philippines to begin to enjoy prosperity and maturity as a nation. In order to accomplish the change desperately needed for our historical sanity – we must only begin to love our country and love fellow citizens. We can accomplish the task by throwing out the evils making for our sick society under deadly Christianity. Indeed, Christian beliefs and so-called values are still playing destructive parts in keeping the Filipino still poor spiritually as a people and keeping the Philippines still backward morally as a nation. In the ultimate analysis, ours is the failure of education under the success of Christianity in the Philippines.

Let us now begin to seriously look at the wonders of science and the scientific way of thinking . Why other Asian nations are enjoying a much higher standard of living and more creative and productive at working. Thanks to the wonders of science and the scientific way of thinking.

EVOLUTION – fact or fiction

Here’s Bishop John Shelby Spong – a rare Christian leader much too difficult not to love and to respect. Indeed, I have the greatest admiration for this Anglican church Bishop. In his WHY CHRISTIANITY MUST CHANGE OR DIE, he wrote: In 1859 Darwin’s masterpiece, entitled THE ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES, was published. That book caused most of the remaining principles by which human life was understood in religious terms to go up in smoke. Darwin suggested, for example, that the world of God’s creation was not yet finished, directly contradicting the literal biblical text. The world, he said, was still evolving, still being created... In the books of Psalms, it had been suggested that human beings were just a little lower than the angels. But now we began to recognize that we were just a little higher than the animals. . . There was much talk in that era about something called the “missing link,” as if the various species of life were separated by a single link rather than by centuries of tiny adaptations. . .”Dust art thou and to dust thou shalt return” became not just a Lenten note of penitence, but a statement of this newly understood reality of human life. . . That strange thing called “creation science” is nothing more than the ignorant rantings reflecting a frightened and dying religious mentality.” For my part, if Christianity were comprised of men in the likes of Bishop John Shelby Spong – never would I have ever dreamed of excommunicating myself out of the religious mess.

Charles Darwin

Psuedo-scientist Perry Marshall tells us that Charles Darwin was brilliantly half right and tragically half wrong. Indeed, that Darwin never knew of the existence of the living cell created by God as part of his grand design of nature. That no one can deny that our complex universe is an astounding, majestic marvel. But how did it get here? Where did it come from? Does it really matter? Can it be, as so many contend, that all just happened by some fortuitous cosmic accident? Or did it come about as the result of the careful design of an infinite God?

Listen, however, to the findings of one of the greatest men in the world of science – Carl Sagan. In his COSMOS, he wrote:

“We have five fingers because we have descended from a Devonian fish that had five phalanges or bones in its fins. Had we descended from a fish with four or six phalanges, we would have four or six fingers on each hand and would think them perfectly natural. We use base ten arithmetic only because we have ten fingers on our hands. Had the arrangement been otherwise, we would use based eight or base twelve arithmetic and relegate base ten to the New math.”

Sounds fantastic, doesn’t it? Well, in the meantime, listen to Bertrand Russell. On the values of the scientific way of thinking Russell wrote:: “Science is at no moment quite right but it is seldom quite wrong, and has, as a rule, a better chance of being right than the theories of the unscientific.” Indeed, “what science cannot know, mankind cannot know.” Poch Suzara

Believe It or NOT

“The Vatican held a meeting of scientists from around the world in November 2009 to discuss the possibility of extraterrestrial life.” Philippine Star 2/16/2010.

What an admission of universal stupidity. Obviously, even the theologians of the Vatican have no knowledge whatsoever whether there is extraterrestrial life existing in Heaven, in Hell, or in Purgatory. Poch Suzara

Stupid Academic Messages

Here are the stupid academic messages conveyed to the millions of our youth daily in grade school, high school, and in college in the Philippines: “There is a better world to come after this life’s termination; and, in the meantime, a better foreign country to migrate to, live and to enjoy full employment after college graduation.”

In the meantime, the Filipino is getting spiritually poorer as a people, and the Philippines getting left behind - backward as a nation bereft of any sense of direction. Poch Suzara

What's Wrong with Us Americans

What's wrong with us Americans? In this already 21st century, the majority of us still believe in a lot of superstitious lies and religious deceptions. The historical evils can best be summarized in few simple words: GOD BLESS AMERICA - the land of the free and the home of the brave! In the meantime, we are a nation of criminals. Life in general is America is the competition to be the criminal like Donald Trump or be like Tom, Dick, and Harry - the impoverished victims of the filthy-rich criminals. Poch Suzara

God as Designer

Perry Marshall claims that he can prove God exists and that he can demonstrate living things have a creator. May I remind Perry Marshall that aside from proving that living things have a creator, he must also prove that such a creator has been a benevolent deity. Well, if we admit the existence of desirable aspects in nature as products of design, we must also admit the undesirable aspects in nature as products of design. Which, in the ultimate analysis, puts Perry Marshal in a ticklish situation. How can he justify a creator who purposely inflicts natural disasters upon man? The master designer could very well be not a kind or a loving God but a supernatural Monster, a malevolent Fiend, or an Almighty Nerd. Poch Suzara

For Perry Marshall

The religious clowns have to gall to tell us atheists that we have yet to learn that God is a spirit and cannot be found through the telescope or microscope, no more than human thought or emotion can be found by analyzing the brain. That, as everyone knows, religion is based NOT on knowledge, but on faith.

At the same time, however, devoid of knowledge, these religious clowns can offer to us atheists a generous assortment of attributes about God from which to choose. According to these source, God is “almighty, eternal, holy, immortal, immense, immutable, ineffable, infinite, invisible, just, loving, merciful, most high, most wise, omnipotent, omniscient, patient, perfect, provident, supreme, true, and indeed, “incomprehensible.”

Well, if religion were based Not on knowledge, but on faith - how do the religious clowns know that an “incomprehensible” God out there designed and created us humans in his own image and likeness down here on this speck of dust called “earth” aimlessly floating in space heading for no where? Poch Suzara

A Little Learning

A little learning is a dangerous thing. Lots of ignorance, however, is not only dangerous. It is disastrous.

Look for example what a little learning has done to this poor religious minister (Perry Marshall) pretending to be a scientist. He claims that he has discovered a new theory of evolution. He says “I only desire to demonstrate that living things have a creator.”

Well, what has a creator anything to do with evolution? Unless, of course, what we want to discover is not more about evolution but a new theory of revelation!

In the meantime, as Carl Sagan asked: “What does seventy million years mean to beings who live only one-millionth as long? We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.”

We Humans have a demonstrated talent for self-deception when our emotions are stirred, and there are few notions more stirring than the belief that there must be a loving God out there somewhere in the universe who created us in his own image and likeness down here on this speck of dust. Poch Suzara

Messages from the Mind

“Messages, languages and coded information never, ever come from anything else besides a mind. No one has ever produced a single example of a message that did not come from a mind.” So says Perry Marshall. Granted.

But the real issue is: how come messages that come only from the mind are not only confusing or meaningless sometimes, but also utterly thoughtless at most times?

Consider what the mind knows is so puny and insignificant as compared to what the mind has yet to discover and to really know not this or know that, but in fact to know exactly what “knowing” means! Poch Suzara

Perry Marshall

Perry Marshal recently wrote to me and said: “If you can read this sentence, I can prove God exists.” “That’s right,” he continues, “I only desire to demonstrate that living things have a creator.”

Well, Perry Marshall has yet to prove not only that God exists but to prove something even more important: - that God as a supernatural being is also a supernatural reader who fully understands that those who refuse to read materials they cannot agree with are no better off than those who can’t read at all.

The Power of Stupid Prayer

If God answers our prayers to cure cancer of our mother or father, how come cancer is still a disease that afflicts our sons and daughters and will continue to trouble even the life of our grandchildren? Indeed, if prayers were true and reliable all of us would stay young, healthy, attractive, learned, sane, kind, loving, intelligent, and rich in spirit. But we live in a sick, rotten, and corrupt world due to, if not because of - our faith in the power of sick prayer. Poch Suzara

Babies

If babies were designed by a creator, how come babies carry no information or have any kind of knowledge whatsoever about the existence of their creator?

So, each of the trillion cells that makes human body carry information about how to make a duplicate copy of ourselves. But then again – so what and why bother? When the original human body itself is so stricken with defects and shortcomings and it only last for a few seconds in time in terms of a million years on this earth that, according to science is already some 4.5 billion years old. Poch Suzara

Science Versus Theology

Here are the two most fundamental questions in science: If evolution happens, how does it happen? And where did the information in DNA come from? Whatever the case may be, we must only wait for science to find the right answer. Forget theology. The theologians do not even know why babies are born ignorant, not stupid. Babies are eventually frightened to become stupid with the teachings of having faith not only in the unknowable, but also to have faith in the not worth knowing. Poch Suzara

Atheism For Filipinos

Atheism is not a belief. It is the absence of belief. An atheist is not primarily a person who believes that a god does not exist; rather he does not believe in the existence of a god. “Theism” and “atheism” are descriptive terms. They specify the presence or absence of a belief in god. If a person is designated as a theist, this tells us that he believes in a god, not why he believes. If a person is designated as an atheist, this tells us that he does not believe in a god, not why he does not believe. In this context, theism and atheism exhaust all possible alternatives with regard to the belief in a god: one is either a theist or an atheist; there is no other choice. One either accepts the proposition “god exist” as true, or one does not. One either believes in a supernatural being, or does not. There is no third or middle ground. Forget agnosticism. The agnostics are spineless cowards who have lost the courage to make a decision about matters of great importance on this earth. In the meantime, to declare that Atheism is a religion is ridiculous. There are no messiahs in Atheism. There are only heroes and heroines who work steadily and often quietly over many years to make those changes in our culture which will enlighten future generations. In the world of atheism, we atheists are all leaders. We are not followers, We Filipino atheists fully understand that the reward of a good life comes to everyone who invests in the future collective well-being of all Filipinos. We Filipino atheists may be as negative as Columbus. We may be as rebellious as Jose Rizal who questioned Catholic authority in the Philippines. We are interested in the here and now, not in the fantasy of a later life to come after death. We see religion – theism – as simply irrelevant to human life. We Filipino atheists understand that we are all part of human life in our country and that we must look after its interests as well as our own, to enjoy together that pursuit of happiness as defined in human civilization. Oh yes, we are few in number. But we care. We are involved as we continue to evolve. We care desperately that our children and grandchildren shall enjoy not the freedom of religion, but precisely enjoy the freedom from religion. It does not matter that we Filipino atheists stand alone; what matters is that we stand. Atheism is a basic posit of life, reason is the only guide, understanding is the only requirement; where education and science are the primary instruments toward a fulfilled life for all Filipinos and where, finally, the Filipino mind becomes totally free.

Religion and Superstition

Religion destroys the mind. Superstition also destroys the mind. But superstition and religion are one and the same fear under ignorance. So what is the use of having faith in one at the expense of the other? Poch Suzara

The Beauty of Atheism versusThe Evil Monster

Before the Filipino can seriously grow as a people and seriously develop as a nation – an evil monster must first be destroyed. The evil monster otherwise more known as Christianity in the Philippines If, over the next 400 years, Christianity continues to dominate the Filipino mind and control the Filipino heart – we shall only be enjoying nothing but more of the same love of God up there by hating one another down here. Indeed, under these conditions, we shall only look forward to a better future for ourselves as citizens of the Republic of the Philippines by migrating to, residing at, and getting employed in, - foreign countries. Indeed, foreign countries that are blessed not only with freedom OF religion, but freedom FROM religion. Thanks to the power of science and technology. I said it before, I say it again. In this already 21st century, it is time for us Filipinos to dump our faith in theism and instead begin to embrace atheism. Take a serious look at the sensibility and the beauty of Atheism: Atheism helps us to see reality as it actually is, without the mental filters of superstition preventing us from directly experiencing it. Atheism allows us to experience our selves, without the debasing idea that we are innately evil or sinful. Atheism allows us to experience true interpersonal love, without any imaginary supernatural intervention. Atheism gives us the freedom to think for ourselves, to construct our own meanings. We each can choose what we think has value. Atheism shows us that we can gain meaning by seeking to make our world a better place, for ourselves and our children's children. Atheism teaches us to take responsibility for our behaviors in the here and now, not for a reward in an imaginary afterlife. Atheism lets us see that we have to make choices about our future. No big daddy god is going to protect us from bad decisions. Atheism teaches us to treasure this moment, this life, and this world — because we realize that it’s all the world we have. Poch Suzara

Atheists Do Not Cut Throats

“There are no atheists in foxholes” speaks well of the atheists; not of foxholes. Foxholes are places where the religious believers position themselves in order to cut each others' throat. They do so because they cannot agree as what will happen to them after their throats have been cut.

In the meantime, my dear reader, have you ever heard of an army of atheists hating and killing another army of atheists because they do not believe in the existence God?

Meanwhile, have any of you ever heard of religious atheists like a bunch of religious morons singing: THIS LAND IS MINE, GOD GAVE THIS LAND TO ME! Poch Suzara

Religion Poisons

Religion does not enhance life. On the contrary, religion poisons life. Christianity has kept the Filipino as the Sick Children of Asia. Indeed, Filipinos praying to God is as similar as sick children praying to Santa Claus.

In the meantime, millions of Filipinos are willing and ready to go to heaven. Specially after they have been schooled to get out to live and work in foreign countries. Poch Suzara

Christianity Exists Everywhere in our Sick Society

Christianity, just like God, exists here, there, and everywhere in the Philippines. It is demonstrated in our custom and tradition, indeed in our culture, damaged as it is already. Christianity is in the home. In the schools, colleges, and universities. In the theaters, and radio and television, in newspapers, in books, magazines, and journals. Christianity intrudes into our judicial, executive, and legislative branch of government. In the social functions and other civic organizations. In the business meetings, political campaigns, commercial seminars. Christianity is there in prayer before mealtime. In sports contests. The music of the day is contaminated with Christian messages. From all sides it moves in on us, endlessly. Ceaselessly. It is not possible to go through a day of one’s life without being exposed to Christianity. In the office, banks, hospitals, police precincts, city hall, residential buildings, hotels, motels, streets, highways, and in billboards, and public transportation system. In any important event of one’s life Christianity is standing by ready to take over the event: birthday party, college graduation, marriage, anniversary, death. In fact Jesus Christ demands that Christianity be pushed here, there, and everywhere. Matthew 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, son, and of the Holy Ghost: 28:20 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.” It is all about behavioral control of the Filipinos. To have more faith in the success of indoctrination that brings about not the Age of Reason or the Age of Enlightenment, but simply the Age of Christianity that gives the Filipinos the power to act as its own destroyer both as a people and as nation. We are not, by any measure, the intelligent masters; on the contrary, as a matter of history, we are the sick victims of organized insanity otherwise more known in our country as Christianity. Indeed, Christianity has developed insufficiency, incompetence, and diminished self-reliance of, with, and for the Filipino way of life as a people since 400 years ago. Otherwise, one would think that as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the Philippines should already be the most matured and developed country in Asia. After all, we Filipinos are the only people in Asia who believe in Jesus – the Son of God Almighty. But with more than 20,000,000 Filipinos today employed in some 200 foreign including non-Christian countries to financially assist the other 20,000,000 Filipinos left behind unemployed or underemployed, including those supporting our corrupt government officials – in the whole of Asia today, thanks to the wealth and power of Christianity, we are only getting more sick as the Sick Children of Asia. The essence of Christianity is its intolerance. The first commandment of the Christian god is: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Christians cannot live with other ideas. They are forced to convert all persons to their belief system because that person, who is outside, illustrates that God has failed to bring at least one person to his flock. Therefore he is not all-seeing, all-knowing, all-understanding, all-benevolent, all-powerful god. If he were that, he could induce all to “come unto him” and feel the “glad tidings of great joys.” It is impossible for those of you who are caught in that trap to understand that others have no need of faith in such beliefs systems and do not live in mental prisons or spiritual cages. Therefore you scream out to us atheists that our position is one of religion too, that we have a belief system as you do. What you are trying to do is, by definition, include us in your insanity. You define the positions and attitudes, opinions and ideas that we have as “a religion” because your thinking is so structured that it is impossible for you to understand the concept of a “free mind.” Indeed, you can only believe in the freedom of religion, when there is something better and greater to believe - the freedom away from religion. Atheism has none of the attributes of a religion. We have no god above or beyond nature, no breach of natural laws by such a god to demonstrate that he exists, no method of communication between such entity and ourselves, no elaborate reward and punishment system such as heaven or hell for being in accord with that god’s dictates. There is not one element needed for religion existing anywhere in Atheism. We have no atheistic morons known as atheist saints. Therefore, you charge that our religion is the worship of “nothing.” But, in fact, this is what the Christians do: worship nothing. An unseen, unknown, uncaring, indifferent entity which you call god is supplicated by you daily with no response. Nothing is there – but you worship it. Nothing hears you – but you address communication to it. Nothing responds – but you hear some messages in the void. Nothing ever happens – but you rationalize that “something” occurs somewhere, perhaps in one’s heart. It is an incredible game that you play like a bunch of lost children looking for a happy home. In the meantime, not the truth, but evil goes marching on! We atheists insist only that you do not include us in your credulity game. We have neither the taste nor the gumption to live with you in your world of make-believe. We atheists are real people who live in a real world which we trust will be a better world in the future than all the rotten religions have made of it during these past centuries. Poch Suzara

Poverty

Poverty in this 21st century Philippines is still due to collective insanity especially since the arrival of Christianity in the 16th century. There is, indeed, the existence of poverty of the worst kind: the poverty of the mind and heart. It deprives our nation’s historical, cultural, and scientific growth and development. In the meantime, here's how poor the average Filipino is: His only sense of wealth is not health; but to be seen driving around in an imported expensive automobile with a sexy Pinay seated beside him. He is living in an expensive mansion which he bought from filthy rich criminal. His organizing prayer rallies to save the lives of fellow-criminals scheduled to be executed for high crimes in foreign countries. The last, but not least his having acquired a college diploma ostensibly displayed in his living room wall or in his office. Poch Suzara

Children in School

It is not through pain and suffering or by illusions or delusions that children in school learn how to be good, creative, and productive citizens.. It is with a sense of self-respect, self- direction, and, indeed, with nutrition and sanitation. In the meantime, we cannot love others unless we love ourselves first. Sadly, in our school, colleges, and universities, we are taught to love Jesus, Mary, Joseph and other bible characters, but hardly to learn how to love our selves with a sense of pride and dignity as citizens of our country.

Freedom of the Press

There is no such thing as freedom of the press unless you own press. If you were the owner of the press, you can certainly enjoy the freedom of the press. In the meantime, our democracy encourages mediocrity, and fosters vulgarity. Indeed, under our so-called democracy, we Filipinos enjoy not only the power of ferocity, not only the glory of insanity, but also the blessings from the Catholic church and its authority as they are the real owners of the press in our poor and sick country.

Jesus cast out demons

Jesus never sent any one to do the work of God without giving them the authority to cast out demons. Jesus called His twelve disciples to Him; He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. (Matt 10:1) Jesus said, ‘And as you go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of heaven is at hand...cast out demons... (Matt 10:7,8) Jesus said, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth’ (Matt 28:18)

Well, what happened? How come the apostles never managed to destroy the unclean spirits? The devil is still pretty much alive and kicking. All kinds of sickness and diseases are still with us. Not to mention the sick clowns identifying themselves as God’s messengers and/or God’s delivery boys in the Philippines in this already 21st century. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Free Will

We are told that God’s greatest gift to man is his free will. Indeed, we have the free will to obey God’s will. We are not free, however, to practice the virtues of free thought. Under God’s free will syndrome – the best of freedom can only be the freedom OF religion. On the contrary, under free thought – the most precious of freedom is the freedom FROM religion. Poch Suzara

Abortion - A woman's Priority

Abortion is a woman’s business. She is the one carrying the fetus inside her body. Abortion is neither the man’s business or the government’s business or the priestly business. It is, simply, the woman’s business.

For my part, as an atheist and a humanist, when it comes to the necessity of an abortion, I say, let the pregnant woman decide for herself. It is her decision. No one should decide for her.

In the meantime, if a fetus were already a human being, how come when there is a miscarriage there is no such thing as a funeral service or a Christian burial of
the dead fetus? Poch Suzara

We are a Nothing

We are told that we are nothing compared to God, our creator. Well, if God created us in his own image and likeness, then God must be made of nothing too. Now it is said that we have intelligence, and therefore there must be intelligence greater than ours. Well, why not say, that God has intelligence, therefore there must be intelligence greater than His? So far as we know, there is no intelligence apart from matter. We cannot conceive of thought, except as produced by the human brain. Ah yes, the human brain – a three pound mass of gray matter you can hold in your hands that can imagine the existence of a God who created us out of nothing. Poch Suzara

Why Something

Why something rather than nothing? But has not something always been an absurdity? A nothing makes more sense than a something. A nothing does not suffer pain, poverty, misery, death and indeed, a nothing could never be the stupid victim of a silly nothing.

For my part, before I was born, for millions of years, I was better off. I was not a something, in fact, I was, happily, a total void - a nothing!

God as Protector

There is no evidence that God protects the believers any more than he rejects the unbelievers . When the TITANIC sunk, those who perished were not solely the wicked sinners. There was no distinction in the terrible disaster. Both the believers and unbelievers were damned to face death together with the damned vessel that only God could sink.

Well, this is in modern times. What about during the ancient times. Look how God protected his first creation – Adam and Eve from the lies and deceptions of the Talking Serpent – the devil – another of God’s creation.

Anti-Christ Movement in Israel

The term anti-Christ refers to those who deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, deny His Gospel as truth, or deny Jesus and his teachings. Well, if that were so, it follows that there are many more anti-Christ individuals existing in Israel than anywhere else in the world. Israel, the land where Jesus was born during the 1st century, never got to be converted into a Christian or into a Catholic country. It is still a Jewish State. What could be more anti-Christ than that in this already 21st century? Poch Suzara

Catholic Caritas Manila

“I agree that it is quite difficult to preach on empty stomach. This is the reason why there is Caritas Manila, one of the largest charitable institutions in the Philippines. Not to mention, Hospicio de San Jose. Parishes are involved in livelihood programs to uplift the quality of life of every Filipino.” The Catholic church earns more than ONE BILLION PESOS each and every month from its sale of religious junk alone in the Philippines. Tax free. At the same time, however, we do have millions of faithful believers in this poor and backward country who are so proud that the Catholic Church has also established Caritas Manila – one of the largest charitable institutions in the world. Well, charity comes from profit. How come the church has so much profit in that she can afford to be in the charity business? More than 15,000,000 ( million ) Filipino workers just these last decade alone have already migrated to some 168 foreign countries around the world in order to enjoy a better way of life. I ask: just exactly how has the quality of life of every Filipino been uplifted by the Catholic Church in the Philippines? As for the Hospicio de San Jose and parishes involved in livelihood programs to uplift the quality of life of every Pinoy and Pinay, how come we, as a people, are only getting poorer as the “Sick and Poor Children of Asia?"

Happy and Perfect Earth

If a Creator could create a happy and a perfect place called “heaven,” why couldn’t the same Creator create as well a happy and perfect planet “earth.”

Of course, the creator could not do so. He had no wish to disappoint his best and only friend – the devil in hell – the same devil who still sees to it that we Filipinos remain poor and miserable as ever specially as we are the only faithful Christians in all of Asia. Poch Suzara

No Life after Death in the Bible

The Bible likens death to a deep sleep. David said: “Answer me, O LORD my God. Do
make my eyes shine, that I may not fall asleep in death.” (Psalm 13:3)

Moreover, just before he resurrected Lazarus, Jesus likened death to sleep.—John 11:11-14. Which brings up another question, if Jesus best friend Lazarus was going to a better place why bring him back to life on earth?

In the meantime, at death, the cerebral function ceases; there is no more thought process, no more reward, no more memory, no more knowledge, and no more access to this world. Death terminates the individual’s interaction with this physical dimension of existence.

So, I ask: if there were no more life after death how do we enjoy life as a reward after death in heaven or suffer in life after death punished in hell?

“After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, ‘Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power to the Lord our God’ “ (Revelation 19:1).

I ask: who are you among the already dead have the extra ability to hear a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven? Poch Suzara

Anti-Christ messages in the BIBLE :

1 John 2:18-19 "Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us." 1 John 2:22-23 "Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also." 1 John 4:2-3 "By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world." John 1:7 "For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist." As written in the Bible we can clearly see people against Jesus. First, the "antichrist" is defined as anyone who doesn't believe Jesus is the divine son of God. Second, "antichrists" appear to actively teach against Christ. Third, there were many "antichrists" in the world when John wrote the book. This directly contradicts the teaching of modern prophets who say that one antichrist will arise at some still future time. As for me, as it turned out, the Indians, Chinese, Malaysians, Japanese, Indonesians, etc more than 3 BILLION OF THEM have never heard of Jesus; only the Philippines since the 16th century, and East Timor in 2002 have been frightened to believe that Jesus died on the cross to save a lot of Catholics - there have been more anti-Christ than pro-Christ in this world. Including the place where Christ was born - it has never been converted into a Catholic country, it is still, more than ever, a Jewish place! Poch Suzara

Organized Insanity

Christianity is based upon organized absurdity in its teachings; in its values, however, it is based upon organized absurdity. Listen to God and then listen to Jesus - the Son of God. First God: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John. 3:1. Now listen to Jesus - the Son of God: “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 with him.” 1 John 2:15. Well, if the Revealed Truths have been revealed, which truth should we believe in – the truth from God, the Father; or, the truth from the Son of God Jesus? Poch Suzara

Oh yes, I have read with much joy, pleasure, and gusto Howard Zinn’s A PEOPLE’s HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. I still do read it as it is one of my bedside books. As an American citizen, I have developed the greatest respect for Howard Zinn. He was indeed not only a great and a rare historian, but also a rare and an admirable American worthy of affection and emulation. Evil passions make Americans incapable of seeing the truth, and false beliefs afford excuses for evil passions. If we Americans were to maintain our sense of human decency throughout the world, we require both clear thinking and kindly feeling. Thank you Mr. Howard Zinn for giving us Americans more enlightenment to see more light in our world affairs. Indeed, to have the guts to be truthful and honest as you have been truthful and honest with your writings. My own end is near – just around the corner. If there is, however, life after death, I would like to meet and shake the hands of Howard Zinn alongside Bertrand Russell, Carl Sagan, Will Durant, Thomas Paine, and Jose Rizal. Otherwise, I don’t give two hoots for the hereafter if I am just to be mingling around with lesser beings like Moses, Jesus and his apostles, the bible writers Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John, or meet with Jaime Cardinal Sin, Archbishop of Manila, or to be with my La Salle grade school and high school teachers. To Howard Zinn - in life and in death, I stand to salute you my dear Sir. You have been, indeed, a genuine American scholar and a rare citizen of the USA. Poch Suzara

Heaven

Heaven has always been imagined as a place where no one needs to do any kind of thinking, only praying. Indeed, heaven is a place where no one has the need to do any kind of work. That is why, fantastically, everybody wants to go to heaven. Realistically, however, nobody wants to die. Whatever or however the case may be, how come our dead relatives, dead friends, and dead associates already in heaven have neither the right nor the free will to visit us on this earth even for a day; or, we who are still alive also have neither the right nor the free to visit them in heaven? So, I ask it again: what's the big fucking mystery? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Jesus – Not Conversant with Bible Contents

Jesus, crucified on the cross with Barabas, a murderer and thief, but nevertheless a believer, said: “Lord, remember me when thou comest unto thy kingdom.” Jesus said unto him, verily, I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23: 42-43

Obviously, Jesus did nor know what was already declared in the bible. In Eccl: 9:5, it clearly states: “The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten.”

So if there were no life after death what paradise after death was Jesus talking about or promising a thief dying alongside with him?

Well, here’s more convoluted truth revealed in the bible: Just before he resurrected Lazarus, Jesus likened death to sleep. John 11:11-14. Which brings up another question, if the best friend of Jesus Lazarus was already dead and already enjoying eternal salvation in the kingdom of God, why from heaven bring him back to life on earth? Wasn't that malicious cruelty on the part of Jesus. Poch Suzara

Alicia Britt Chole - a Former Atheist

“Truth is dead. God never lived. Life is filled with pain. Death is the end of life.” These beliefs formed Alicia Britt Chole's worldview as a young woman. "I sincerely believed that there was no God," she says. "As a young Atheist, I simply considered myself a realist who preferred unanswered questions over fairy tales." Then one day, without warning, Alicia's Atheistic worldview was shattered. Creatively written, Finding an Unseen God opens a window into Alicia's surprising spiritual journey. With warmth, intellect, and compassion, Alicia invites us to carefully consider what we believe and do not believe, while she paints a vivid portrait of a God who relentlessly pursues even those who deny him.

FINDING AN UNSEEN GOD (Reflections of a Former Atheist) is, indeed, an impressive title for a book. For my part, however, as a die-hard atheist, I find it utterly useless to be looking for God because I have been told a great many times before that God is everywhere. Well, if such a warmth, loving and compassionate God were already everywhere, why on earth would any one need to find God? Poch Suzara

THE SUCCESS OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE PHILIPPINES

According to the National Statistics Office, 3 Filipinos are born every minute of the day and night in the Philippines . That’s 180 Filipinos born hourly; 4,320 Filipinos born daily; 30,296 Filipinos born weekly; 129,600 Filipinos born monthly; and about 1,555,200 Filipinos born in the Philippines yearly . Among other things, what does this prove? It proves that our women, from grade school to high school to college, have been taught to believe that to get pregnant and to contribute to the population explosion is the greatest thing they can do for the development and progress of our country. Well, it also proves that most of our men even without wages are busy enjoying their job working in the baby factory. But then again, why is it that as our population is increasing, instead of growing richer as a people, we are only getting poorer as nation? Decent job opportunities are rarity in our country. The exodus of Filipinos for employment overseas continue daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly? What is wrong with our economy? Why it is unable to provide every single citizen of our country with adequate food, proper housing, public health and sanitation, and a better tomorrow? It is, indeed, easy to indoctrinate the Filipino to accept poverty as a way of Christian life and devotion. Especially to embrace poverty of the worst kind - the poverty of the mind and heart. All that is needed to be done is to teach our boys and girls at home, in school, in the streets, and in the slums of our major cities to believe and to have faith: 1. that God created the Filipino gifted with free will; 2. that only Jesus, the Jewish Son of God, can save the Filipino; 3. that we are free to obey the will of God, but not free to practice the virtues of free thought, self-respect, and dignity; 4. that we Filipinos have much to be grateful for because God will always provide for our women and children; 5. that it is more productive to be active in the sexual revolution than to be creative in the knowledge evolution; 6. that morality consists in obedience to the will of God even if nobody knows where God comes from; 7. that we must always have the courage to believe, but we must never have the courage to think; 8. that Christian charity does not mean the spread of more bread for prosperity. It only means more threat to spread more poverty in our sick society; 9. that biblical instruction is far more useful than scientific information technology transformation; 10. that if we hate not our mother and father, and hate not our wife and children, and yea, if we hate not our own life also – we cannot be the followers of Jesus; 11. that even if our government officials were all corrupt and wicked, it is all forgivable. For as long as they continue to love, worship, and adore God. 12. that in this only Christian country in Asia, even a God-fearing ex-convict can be qualified to be re-elected President of our Republic. 13. that the Black Nazarene sensationalism has plenty to do with mysticism; but also much profit for the priestly commercialism; 14. that in our sick society of the homeless, jobless, landless, and the moneyless - these are signs enough that our women must produce more and more babies for God's greater glory; 15. that in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow; 16. that everybody is a nobody in our country including our own Jose Rizal. Except Jesus. Jesus is the way, the life, and truth for all Filipinos to follow and to obey; to think that Jesus was not a Filipino; 17. that it is easier for a poor camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich Filipino to enter the gates of heaven; 18. that God will always love us, will always protect us for as long as we have faith in his power, in his kingdom, and in his glory; 19. that organized crimes is less destructive and the power of organized prayer rallies is more constructive in our sick society; 20. that the good Christian life must always be founded upon the love of fear and devotion to ignorance because the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. My dear reader, what I am saying is that we need not look far or wide in order to understand why we are the “Sick Children of Asia .” We have only to look closer at the failure of our education under the success of Christianity in the Philippines. Let's look closer at our own ignorance especially as it prevents its own enlightenment. From the historical perspective, what good did it do us Filipinos to get the colonizers thrown out of our shores – the Spaniards, the Americans, the Japanese during World War 11, including Marcos and his gang of thieves? As a matter of historical fact, those colonizers were all a bunch of midget monsters. What is still here with us today is the giant monster that subjugated the Filipino by conquering the Philippines in the 16th century. Such an evil monster now owns and controls most of what is called “the Philippines ” in this 21st century. I am referring to the gigantic monstrosity well-established in our sick society popularly known as CHRISTIANITY! I said it before, and I say it again: if we Filipinos have neither the ability to think for ourselves; nor have the capacity to love one another; and especially to love our own country, we have only Christianity and its destructive teachings to blame totally. And as soon as we discard Christianity and its harmful values and childish beliefs out of our system of education, then and only then can there be real hope for the Philippines. Specially to grow and to develop as a decent nation. Indeed, to begin playing a real role as a decent nation in the race among decent nations to achieve world sanity, economic growth and prosperity under science and technology enhancing the life of humanity globally.

For Brother Bert Numez

Brother Bert, as you claim to be a messenger of God / delivery boy for God, please, I would appreciate it, if you could deliver this message to God from me:

Please God, I beg of you, please come down from heaven and visit the Philippines. Millions of Pinays and Pinoys (all faithful and loving to you) are in a desperate
hand to mouth level of existence. They need your help to provide for them. After all, you did promise to do so when you were last living in Israel some 2,000 years ago. Thank you. Poch Suzara

God – the Creator

As an atheist, I do not believe God created the world. I do believe, however, that the devil created the Philippines, especially created the Philippine government - when God was busy elsewhere trying to figure out also what to do exactly with US government! Poch Suzara

Deadly Priorities

If we could only produce not 3 Filipino babies every minute of the day and night, but precisely produce 3 fryers and broilers, 3 cows, 3 pigs, 3 goats, 3 carabaos, 3 deers, 3 sheeps, 3 tons of abaca, 3 tons of fruits, 3 tons of onions and garlic, 3 tons of rice and corn every minute of the day and night - we need not worry about "globalization" as a complex issue.

Indeed, instead of exporting the world over our production of milk, butter, cheese, eggs, ham, bacon, beef steaks, pork steaks, ground beef, onions, garlic, rice and corn, and indeed textile materials - what do we, instead, export in God's name and for his glory in heaven? We export Filipino workers and laborers to help in the progress and development of non-Christian foreign countries.

Really, whatever happened to our duty and responsibility as citizens under a system of education to work and achieve progress as a people, and indeed, growth and maturity as a nation? Poch Suzara

The Devil in Christianity

In Christianity, the Devil is named Satan, sometimes Lucifer. He is a fallen angel who rebelled against God, and is now roaming the Earth. He is identified by Christians with the serpent in the Garden of Eden, whose lies led to original sin and the need for Jesus Christ's redemption. He is also identified as the Accuser of Job, the tempter of the Gospels, and the dragon in the Book of Revelation. Traditionally, Christians have understood the Devil to be the author of lies and promoter of evil. Many liberal Christians view the devil metaphorically[1]. It should be noted, however, that much of this history is not biblical; instead, it is a post-medieval Christian reading of the scriptures influenced by medieval and pre-medieval Christian popular mythology.

Whatever the case may be, isn’t it getting more and more obvious that you Christians, more than a billion of you as an army in this world today with your powerful God and wonderful Son of God Jesus together have dismally failed to put an end to the existence of the stupid devil – the promoter of lies and deception? Indeed, you are all the losers and the failures in the war against evil.

What is wrong with you people? What kind of a God do you people love, worship, and adore? A God who cannot even handle a simple problem like putting an end to the existence of silly, if not a childish devil? Golly, God could kill you, could kill me, and could kill our parents and grandparents and could kill the rest of our loved ones, but God could not kill the devil? Why? is the devil really another supernatural moron?

As for me, I want no more to be a part of this religious bullshit. I would rather be a humanist on the side of humanity; and, an atheist on the side for the achievement of global sanity. Poch Suzara

The Human Brain

The mammalian side of brain, an amazingly complicated product of evolution, created God? But then again, there is also the reptilian side of the brain. It too was created by the devil? For my part I say, nature created the brain. The brain created fear. Fear created both God and the devil. The former as a projection of ourselves; the latter as a projection of our enemies. Let’s ask a deeper question. Does it matter? Humanity has a penchant for creating abstract forces that, for all of their actual nonexistence, wield power and get things done. First we created communities, then tribes, then governments, and nations that created the army, navy, and air force. From absolutely nothing, we have created conceptual entities that have reshaped the world and the way we live. Would a real existing God and his partner the devil who created all these for us make any sense at all? In the ultimate analysis, I say, there exists, no doubt, bigger entities and higher power than we are and that we must always embrace with truth, love, and respect: - I mean - our family, our country, and indeed, this planet, our world. These should be the kind of Gods that we should fully recognize as something bigger, greater, and higher than we all are. Nothing else matters. Nothing else counts! Poch Suzara

The Son Know Not His Father

One would think that as the Son of God Jesus could have easily disclosed to his hearers, followers, and disciples - everything there is to know - the real nature of the existence of God - His Father. So how come the existence of God is still a mystery? Is God a He or a She or an It? Why is God a Father and not a Mother? Even the theologians know nothing worthwhile about such a Being? T

The most Jesus admitted was that "I and my father are one." In the meantime, God's existence is still perpetual mystery which is really a euphemism for stupidity. Really, I ask: If Jesus and God were one, how come while crucified on the cross Jesus cried out loud: “ My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

Now my dear reader, ask yourselves: what do you really know anything worth knowing about the existence of God? Take a closer look at the greatest miracle mentioned in the holy bible - the Revealed Truth. It has yet to be revealed! That's how miraculous it is??? Poch Suzara

Jesus – the Jewish Savior of Filipinos

In John 2: 13-17 - Jesus found in the temple courts people selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at tables. So he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”

Can any of you faithful religious morons please explain what has this episode with money changers in the temple somewhere in Israel some 2,000 years ago got anything to do with Jesus as the Son of a Jewish God - Savior of the Filipinos in the Philippines? Poch Suzara

The Death of the Human Race

Religion is ignorance. Ignorance is religion. Indeed, religion supports ignorance and ignorance supports religion. In either case, no matter what happens, both are always in cahoots together defending and protecting each for the sake of the other; at a price too dear to pay: the eventual death of the human race in disgrace for the sake of a divine grace.

Great Monuments

The Coliseum in Rome was, indeed, famous as one of the greatest monuments, especially, to human sadism.

On the other side of the world, however, in the Philippines, the Manila Cathedral was and still is also famous as one of the greatest monuments; unfortunately, to human stupidity. More people have lost their minds and hearts inside the Manila Cathedral than people lost their lives in the Coliseum of Rome. Poch Suzara

Man

Man is both a rational and an irrational animal. Man is rational when he is thinking. Man, however, is irrational like an animal when he is only believing.

The Great Religions

Thanks to the great religions of the world – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – the human race continues to live under the welter of organized hatreds and threats of mutual extermination.

As atheists, we are growing sick and tired of this grim way of life on this planet. We atheists are against war. War is not the way to settle conflicts of superstitions. Conflicts of any kind should be settled with the power of reason.

As atheists, we never run away; on the contrary, we would rather cultivate self-conscious sensitivity to the troubles of our world. It is you, the religious morons everywhere, that’s destroying our world. We atheists are the ones saving it. We do not hate this world. We do not hate other atheists; neither have we ever declared war and killed other atheists for not believing in the existence of a silly God! And you religious morons have the gall to say that we atheists are the ones arrogant in this world of troubles and hate that you yourselves created for each other. Poch Suzara

Poverty and Mystery

“It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God “ Luke 18:25. Well now, consider the rich man. Jesus said: “Sell all you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasures in heaven: and come, follow me. Luke 18:22. I ask: if what truly matters in the end is treasures in heaven, what do the poor gain if treasures were given to them on this earth? Here, however, is another mystery: if the kingdom is not of this world, John 18:36, if there were already existing a perfect heaven, why would Jesus promise that when he makes his Second Coming He will insure peace and happiness in this world that will last for a thousand years? In the meantime, I ask: have any of you ever met a dumbstruck camel insane enough to want to enter the eye of a needle? Poch Suzara

Oh Jesus, My Sweet Jesus

It is incredible to believe that in this 21st century, 15,000,000 (million) Pinoys and Pinays have already migrated to some 168 countries around the world. A lot of these places are non-Christian countries. Our workers overseas are now enjoying not only the higher standard of living, but also the higher standard of thinking.

In the meantime, back home, we are taught to believe that Christ is not only real, but that “Without Christ we can do nothing. With Him we can do everything he wants us to do.” Phil Star Dec. 11, 2009.

Well, for my part, I find it painful to believe that the Filipino is the poorest people on this earth. Even the Philippines – is no longer his own country. It is now own by foreigners, especially by the Vatican power. In the meantime, around the Philippines, most of the big farms, big Beach Resorts, 5-star hotels, prime properties, girlie Bars, shopping malls, schools, colleges, and universities, and other commercial enterprises are owned by Spaniards, Americans, Australians, Koreans, Japanese, British, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Saudis, Malaysian, and what-have-you businessmen and traders married to Pinays.

In Heaven

No need to do anything in heaven. It is a perfect place and therefore utterly boring. No need to sleep. No need to wake up. No need to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. No need to do the dishes. No need to throw out trash and garbage. No need to brush teeth. No need for sex, or go to the bathroom, or dress up, or comb your hair, or make-up, or clean up, or take a shower, or watch TV, or read books, or go to your computer, or walk a dog, or drive your child to school, or go to church, or cook a meal, or go shopping, or have your motor vehicle checked for maintenance.

And you religious morons are hoping, nay, praying to end up in heaven one day? What is the matter with you people? Why do you still allow yourselves to be frightened by a lot of childish religious malarkey? Poch Suzara

Soldiering

We are told that soldiering is like writing, teaching, preaching, faith-healing, or trading. But what gives the soldier nobility is this: only he pledges to die for his country.

No doubt, a soldier has the courage to die in the battlefield. Sadly, however, he has no courage to ask what it is exactly he is told to give up his life for.

In the meantime, listen to Bertrand Russell: “There is no more horrible crime against liberty than to compel men to kill each other when their conscience tells them to live in peace.” Poch Suzara

We are Sick even in Death

Look how we all have been taught during our formative yearws to look forward after death to meeting only God, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Moses and all the rest of the famous characters in the bible written not by Filipinos, but by Jewish authors. Never, however, are we ever to entertain the thought that we might again be re-united with our mother and father, grandparents, brothers and sisters, wife and children, and other relatives and friends and associates in the hereafter. Indeed, in life as well as in death we were all sick with sick values and sick beliefs. We prefer not the truth. We prefer sick lies and sick deceptions. They are more comforting, if not more soothing, and easier to grasp. And that is why there exist schools, colleges, and universities to teach us how to be frightened of such holy baloney to benefit those who are in control of our minds and hearts. Poch Suzara

Love

Ever since I became an atheist, I began to stop hating myself. In fact, I gradually learned to love myself. So much so that I have no need of lies and deceptions to make me happy, or to make me feel that life has meaning or is worth living. Indeed, loving myself has made me feel more creative, not destructive. I have no need of a God to love me. I am neither afraid of life nor death. I am ready for any change or development in my life. I have no need of a silly God like a silly child who needs to be friendly to a silly Santa Claus. "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' (Matthew 5:43). On the contrary, I say, Hate divinity and hate deviltry as both are one and the same hooey phooey. Let us, instead, love humanity; especially with the power of thought. The power of thought is far more crucial, if not more beneficial, than the power of love; for, without thought, love cannot exist. Poch Suzara

The gods of the Kangaroos

If kangaroos had gods they would look like kangaroos. No kangaroo can conceptualize beyond its own limits or its own being. A kangaroo cannot think or imagine beyond the experience of a kangaroo.

Despite our human pretensions, this is also true of human beings. We human beings have gods, and they look and act remarkably like us human beings.

For my part, I envy the kangaroos. They never have to multiply and replenish the earth with kangaroos that need to go to grade school, high school, and to go for a college education to learn how to love and worship and adore a god Kangaroo. Poch Suzara

Celebrating the Love for Holy Baloney

We can very well disagree with the doctrines and get confused over dogmas of the church such as the Holy Trinity. We still, however, have faith enough to celebrate them. In other words, we love to be the victims of lies, not the masters of the truth.

Or, “Oh God, dear God, we don’t even care if you exist or not. Whether or not you do there is nothing you can do that can make us stop loving you”.

Such are the helpless victims celebrating not the love of self or the love for one another, but the love for holy non-existing baloney.

Listen to Bertrand Russell and then take a closer look at us Filipinos in this only Christian country in Asia:

“There is something feeble, and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face his thought, and he therefore cannot carry his own reflections to a logical conclusion. Moreover, as he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed. He therefore adopts persecution, censorship, and a narrowly cramping education as essential of statecraft. In so far as he is successful, he produces a population which is timid and unadventurous and incapable of progress. Authoritarian rulers have always aimed at producing such a population. They have usually succeeded, and by their success have brought their countries to ruin.”

And in ruin what do we Filipinos continue to do? We continue to love, worship,
and adore those who ruined not only our self-respect as a people and dignity as a nation, but also ruined our future.

Come on, you guys and gals. We are now in the 21st century! Poch Suzara

That we all come out of mother’s womb, not as a Catholic or a Muslim or a Jew or a Buddhist or a Hindu, but as atheists – as non-believers of the existence of God! Which God? If religions were true, and there is a God, how come we continue to live in a much troubled world? How come religion only teaches us that there is a better world to come after death? And that we should only show nothing but contempt for any man who has the ability not only to think, but to love life in this world. Now I ask you sons and daughters everywhere: where is the true God, if, in fact, there is such a thing as a “true God?” Obviously, there is no such thing as justice because there is no such thing as a God to begin with. If there is, such a God has got to be a supernatural monster who determines which part of the nature should be wonderful and which part horrible or despicable. In the meantime, we all live on a speck of dust called “earth.” It is some 4.5 billion years old. The earth is orbiting yearly round the sun for the sake of nothing; rotating daily on its own axis for the sake of nothing; and, in terms of eternity, heading for no where in space and in time for the sake of nothing. The most we humans should do while living on this earth is to try and live the good life. My mentor Bertrand Russell defined it: “The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. What the world needs now is not only love, but also greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all its complexity.” Poch Suzara Twitter# Google# Atheist# Facebook#

The Sick Children of Asia

Here are manifestations, cries, and pleadings that show just how sick we are as the Sick Man of Asia. Indeed, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverb 22:6 “And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “ Matthew 18: 2 Well, listen to us Pinoys and Pinays: “I’d rather have a government run like hell by Filipinos than a government run like heaven by Americans.” President Manuel Quezon

Statistics

The religious morons of our sick country are unhappy with me. Especially when I say that there are 10 million single mothers in the Philippines today earning a living by prostitution to support their children.

The same religious people, however, will be happy with me, if I lower my estimate to, say, only 10 thousand single mothers in the Philippines today earning a living by prostitution to support their children.

As if our perpetual poverty as a people, and eternal insanity as a nation will make any difference as to the true statistics in just exactly how many single mothers there are struggling to survive earning a living by prostitution to support their children in the Philippines.

In the ultimate analysis, I ask: who really gives a damn as to what is happening to our women as we are a nation?

In the meantime, for the love of God up there via hate of one another down here – as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century - we are only getting more famous as the Sick Children of Asia in this already 21st century? Poch Suzara

A College-Educated Moron

A college-educated moron writes and says: “I am not against atheist. My father was an atheist almost all his life but was baptized and receive Christ in the Holy Eucharist in his last few days on earth. He was just enlightened because he can no longer defend his atheism. Poch is his own worst enemy. No need to destroy him because he is doing it well by himself.” No kidding? Did your father ever read to you verses and chapters as guiding principles written in the holy bible that made us the Sick Children of Asia? Indeed, made us believe that since Jesus is coming anyway, no need to love our country and to love each other as we are all Filipinos since there will be a better world to come with Jesus later after death in heaven under the management of the Chosen People of God - In the meantime, for my part, as I am myself a publicly declared theist, if I find myself one day about to be baptized and about to receive Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist in my last few days on this earth – believe me – I would rather kill myself first. Jesus Christ was not even a fellow-Filipino. He was a Jew born in a foreign land that never even got to be a Catholic country. Israel today is still a Jewish State! So what's this religious malarkey that I need not be destroyed because I am already destroying myself? My dear man, the day we are born is the very same day we begin to live in a dying body! Wake up, my dear man!! Is it so hard for you to face the reality that we were all born as non-believers of the faith? We were all born as atheists. No child comes out of his or her mother’s womb believing in a God or in the Son of God Jesus. No child has a religion. Well, since I was born an atheist, the least I could do is to die one day as an atheist too. I say, if we must die, let us die with self-respect and dignity. Let us die sober, and not drunk with religious lies or drugged with sacramental deceptions? In the ultimate analysis, we all arrived into this world with nothing; the least we could do is to leave this world with something. Indeed, let us one day leave this world a better place than how we found it. Or there is little reason having lived at all. Poch Suzara

Australia and Philippines Compared

Australia was colonized some 200 years by some of the finest felons, thieves, muggers, alcoholics, prostitute, atheists and agnostics and freethinkers; in fact, a strain of depravity, if not a parade of British banditry. But look how they all contributed greatly to this country's amazing vigour in growth and due development as a nation of laws, self-respect, and human dignity.

Australians today have the finest, cleanest, and highly organized cities. The greatest of health and sanitation system. Scientific and creative system of education. A hard working government. It enjoys one of the highest per capita income in the world. A decent standard of living and indeed thinking for the Australian people, by the Australian people, and of the Australian people.

The Philippines was colonized by a bunch of Catholic friars and Catholic Spanish soldiers some 400 years ago. Look at the Philippines today. All of our cities are among the dirtiest and disorganized. In fact, our streets are no longer streets, but have been converted into baby factories. We have no health and sanitation. system. We have no government of, by, or for the people, but only a government for the corrupt officials, by the corrupt officials, and of the corrupt officials. Our system of education is around 100 years backward. Filipinos still come out of schools, colleges, and universities more prepared for the next life than prepared to be a productive and creative citizen of the Republic of the Philippines.

We Filipinos are still so poor as a people and still so backward as a nation. As the only Christian country of Asia since the 16th century, we still believe in the power of prayer and that God will provide for us even as we have already become famous as the Sick Children of Asia.

In the meantime, in this already 21st century, is there hope for the Philippines for a better future? Yes, there is. But only as soon as we stop this childish nonsense of hating one another down here for the love a God up there. Or to put more bluntly, it is time we seriously attend to our sense of common human decency by discarding away that superstition otherwise more traditionally known as “divinity,” or “holy trinity,” or “Christianity,” or “El Shaddai malarkey,” or “Jesus is Lord Movement baloney,” or "Dating Daan" biblical hogwash.

Indeed, let us, instead, love the Philippines - our country. It is the only country we have as Filipinos. Poch Suzara

Single Filipina Mothers

There are about 10 millions single mothers in the Philippines today. Most of them proud of their achievement. Specially as their children, live and play in the streets of our major cities, sick and dirty as they are. Most of these single mothers are poor. They support themselves and their malnourished children by means of prostitution. Others have to work as housemaids or cooks or waitresses. Still others earn a living by working as hospitality girls in night clubs owned by foreigners; or work as helpers, and assistants in Beach resorts throughout the country owned by foreigners; or work in hotels owned by foreigners; or just work for a pimp or a policeman or a taxi driver to earn a few pesos a night. Tell them that they are among the worst criminals on this earth and they get shocked. They will insist that there is nothing wrong in carrying on an unwanted pregnancy. That there is nothing wrong with producing three (3) babies every minute of the day and night, or 1.8 millions babies yearly in the Philippines . Most of these children are potential members of the Catholic church, Iglesia ni Cirsto, El Shaddai, Jesus is Lord Movement members, Opus Dei, etc. The Catholic church and her Christian allies urges the Pinays to multiply regardless of the consequences. They are even told that productive motherhood is really in the end a virtue, and replenishing the Philippines with more babies even if unwanted is a sacred duty. In spite of population explosion the Pinays have 4 or 7 or 8 children not for society’s sake, but for the glory of God in heaven. The right to propagate, no doubt, is a freedom; but like all freedoms, when exercised by ignorance, is inimical to human welfare that generates an insane society. In the meantime, the Pinoys, as products of our schools, colleges, and universities have been taught to believe that no matter what they do for Pinays, with Pinays, against the Pinays, or just take advantage of their child-like qualities – there is always God up there who will always take care of them. Indeed, God will always provide for them. But that God will also always forgive us Pinoys of the sin of sexual stupidity, if not forgive us of the crime of social perversity. Poch Suzara

Who

Who is the bigger, better, taller, wiser, more disciplined, and more courageous individual? The fighter who fights in the world of boxing for the sake of glory, money, and other forms of insanity; or, the individual who fights lies, myths, deceptions, and superstitions in order to improve the world of thinking for the sake of global peace and tranquility and, indeed, sanity in the human family? Poch Suzara

Manny Pacquiao

He claims that his being boxing champion of the world is due to his having a special relationship with God. And yet, just as much as there are no atheists in a foxhole, there are also no atheists in the boxing ring. There are only the faithful believers fighting it out against other faithful believers. For my part, I imagine the greatest good Manny Pacquiao can do for the millions of Filipinos who admire him. For the sake of self-respect as a people and dignity as a nation, he could tell all of us that his being boxing champion of the world today had only to do with “hard work, training, discipline, and dedication to a chosen career down here. It has nothing whatsoever to do with a Jewish God up there who was born in Israel some 2,000 years ago." In the meantime, instead of augmenting the better quality of life with moral, physical, and intellectual courage for the average Filipino, Manny Pacquiao is only augmenting the worse - greed, selfishness, cruelty, social insanity, not to mention political stupidity specially for the sake of a silly divinity in our spiritually twisted and morally distorted country.

Mayon Volcano

22 out of the 37 volcanos in the Philippines are active. Mayon Volcano is the most active. It has erupted at least 50 times since documentation began in 1616. Its worst eruption buried in mud Cagsawa town that killed 1,200 people in 1814. Another eruption in 1993 killed more than 70 family of farmers. Mayon erupted again in 2006 killing poor and innocent people.

Any day now, most probably its biggest, greatest, and the most devastating explosion will occur. Just exactly like the sinking of the Titanic, Mayon Volcano will also kill both the faithful believers and the unbelievers of the faith.

In the meantime, in Genesis, it says that when God created the world, He saw that it was “good.” Can any of you religious morons really believe the destructive holy baloney from such a silly creative divinity? Poch Suzara

The Sick Children of Asia

In the last analysis, there is really no such thing as the “Sick Man of Asia.” I have been wrong all along. I stand corrected. What is more truthful to say, however, is that we are the “Sick Children of Asia .” Indeed, in this already 21st century, look how we Filipinos continue to have more faith, more love, and more admiration for Jesus Christ, born in a foreign country than we do even know who or what our own Jose Rizal lived and died for our country? Indeed, Rizal as the greatest of Filipino thinker-humanist-scientist. How sick are we as the Sick Children of Asia ? Look deep at Jesus Christ and his teachings. And then look deeper at our Jose Rizal and his teachings. Here is Jesus Christ who taught family values for the Filipinos: “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 Now listen carefully to what our Jose was saying about values for the family, and about human dignity and self-respect: “I would like the Filipino to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive.” Do you faitheists now understand now why Christian power and authority had to have our Jose Rizal arrested, incarcerated, and then publicly executed? Jose Rizal had been saying that Christianity thrives not on love, but on fear and guilt. They are the fundamental emotions that Christianity seeks to induce. For all of its alleged concern for the “poor in spirit,” Christianity does its best to perpetuate spiritual poverty, squalor, and social misery. Not to mention political stupidity. In the ultimate analysis, with its emphasis on punishment and reward in the afterlife, Christianity is largely responsible for the notion that morality, common human decency under social sanity are not practical, and has little to do or should have nothing to do with being “Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive.” Thus, in this already 21st century, Christianity in the Philippines carries on with so much wealth, power, and glory. Our Jose Rizal shot, dead, buried, ignored, and forgotten. - - - Poch Suzara

Love Destroyed

It is sad to see love in our modern world often destroyed not by unfaithfulness, or by a 3rd party intrusion, but simply due to the gospel of work and economic success. It happens especially when both man and woman in love together allow one or the either to get busily embroiled within that universal scramble for money.

Between man and woman whom there is love, they both succeed or fail together, but when they hate each other the success of either is the failure of the other.

In the meantime, what is even more painful is that with enough money already saved, we continue to suffer from poverty of the worst kind – the poverty of the mind and heart.

Despite economic success, life is still empty; still devoid of intellectual substance; still bereft of the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

How petty, selfish, insecure, greedy, stupid, insane, and needlessly frightened should we be? Poch Suzara

Death in the Bible

“For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity. All go to one place; all are from dust, and all turn to dust again." Ecclesiastes, 3:19-20.

In other words, my dear reader, if there were life after death, it will not be the life of man or the life of beasts. It will be the life of dust.

In the meantime, if God created man in his own image and likeness, and man in the end will just turn into dust for all eternity, then God must be made of Dust too. Now can you really imagine yourselves praying to a supernatural Dust for the salvation of your silly, dusty, impoverished souls? Poch Suzara

Contradictions in the Bible

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19

And it repented the Lord that he has made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast. And the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.” Genesis 6: 6-7

God apparently forgot that after creation, he admitted that what he saw was all good. Genesis1:21

Unless of course God meant then that it was good for something; unfortunately, later, it became good for nothing! Poch Suzara

Yes Jesus is Real

Philippine Daily Inquirer
Dec. 15,2009
For: Renim Valenzuela

Dear Sir:

Yes, Jesus, indeed, is real; specially for the sinners and the criminals.

Thanks for your response. The quotations you got from me are the opinions
of the inspired authors of God as written in the holy bible.

Yes, I agree with you there is the reality of hope, peace, love and joy to experience. In the meantime, it is sad, isn't it, everybody wants to go to
heaven one day, but nobody wants to die at any day.

My friend, may I suggest you read the bible. The majority of Filipinos
including our own parents, grandparents, and great-parents, not to mention
our teachers in school, and professors in college - have had no inklings
whatsoever as to what are the real contents published the holy bible –
a book written by so-called inspired authors of God.

In the meantime, yes, you are right - Jesus is real. So real that even the
highest to the lowest officials that are corrupt in our corrupt government
all love worship, and adore Jesus. And why not? After all, who will forgive
them of their sins against divinity, and forgive them of their crimes against
our country - if not Jesus, ever loving sweet Jesus!

As for me, I thank God I am an atheist.

Best wishes,

Only in the Philippines

Filipino parents are so eager, if not so excited to enroll their children to school. However, they would find it needless, if not utterly boring to check what values and beliefs are being taught to the nation's children in school. It is all taken for granted.

But then again, why should they bother to check? Our parents and grandparents too have been the same victims of the same sick system of education in the Philippines.

Take a good look at us, the majority of Filipinos. In this already 21st century, we are all still waiting for the Second of Christ to help us straighten out the mess of our sick nation caused primarily by a sick system education. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell's Relevance

A college-educated individual wrote to tell me that I am wasting my time studying the works of Bertrand Russell. That the pursuit of the truth is really a waste of time at any time. Bertrand Russell’s relevance is still quite translucent, if not obvious. Bertrand Russell continues to challenge us to destroy all false beliefs and illusions that keep us away from being totally free in thought and action and to gain more self-respect and dignity. He challenges us to think about war, and why we must all create a safe, peaceful world. He began his autobiography with a foreword, which sums up Bertrand Russell as the greatest philosopher of the 20th century. The Prologue to Bertrand Russell's Autobiography WHAT I HAVE LIVED FOR "Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me." Poch Suzara

Letter to Editor
New York Times,
Dear sir:

World Leaders

World leaders together with US President Barack Obama and his counterpart Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia are still negotiating over nuclear weapons disarmament agreement. In this 21st century, what our world leaders should already be negotiating about is not banning nuclear weapons but banning war itself. War has never solved anything, In fact , history shows, the end of each war only entailed the beginning of the next war. Indeed, war insures not world peace or global sanity, but only that nations will continue to live under a welter of organized hatreds and threats of mutual extermination. Imperialism, Catholicism, Capitalism, Fascism, Nazism, Communism, Terrorism, and the rest of whatever fanaticism - all have had their opportunities to put an end to war. Each, however, with their respective beliefs failed. Miserably. In this 21st century, it is time for intelligent unbelief to encourage Humanism as inspired by Atheism. Indeed, it is time that we speak for mankind in this world. Our World. Listen to Bertrand Russell, Atheist, the greatest philosopher of the 20th century: "Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death." Poch Suzara, Atheist

Dying and Sleeping

I may fear dying, but I am not afraid of death; neither am I afraid of sleep. Sleep is a morsel of death. I go for it. I get to the exercise. In fact, without realizing it, I am rehearsing for death while sleeping every night. The fear of death is a useless fear. After all, the day we are born is the day we also begin to live in a dying body.

Compared, however, to the life of the universe, human life on this speck of dust called “earth” is meaninglessly brief, purposelessly short, and mindlessly fleeting. Poch Suzara

Our Political Candidates

If one is an atheist and a candidate, he does not qualify to become president of the Republic of the Philippines. To begin with, his allegiance must first be to God, and second only, if at all, to our country. Our politicians believe and have faith in what the bible as the Word of God, says: “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” Matt. 22:21. Well, fortunately, the best way to acquire the forgiveness of the sin of corruption, is to render first to God and to hell with rendering the rest in our sick country. In Philippine politics today, as it has been past decades, no one can be elected to a government office unless he is a member of the church. It is considered a mark of moral character and patriotism. No politician would ever admit to being an unbeliever of the faith. To admit to being an atheist is the end of any political career. To think that our corrupt politicians running our corrupt government all share something equally corrupt in common: They all believe, love, worship, and have faith in a foreign God, specially Jesus - the Jewish Son of a Jewish God.

Knowledge versus Ignorance

Ignorance prevents its own enlightenment. Thanks, however, to the great religions of the world ignorance is not a local, but a global phenomenon. Look how the great majority of mankind has been intimidated to study the Word of God instead of the Works of God. A great many people throughout the world believe as true in a lot of religious nonsense. Where what would suffice for world peace and sanity is simply the belief in common sensibility. Indeed, common sense that tells us all the great religions of the world are baseless and mindless. Indeed, our loyalty to humanity should make more sense than our loyalty for silly divinity! “The good life,” wrote Bertrand Russell, “is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.’ Being guided by love of knowledge we can make our future what we wish it to be. Indeed, in life, we will always find what we are looking for. What we can conceive, we can achieve. When we realize that our present character, our present status in life, our present ability or disability, our present health or the lack of it are all the result of past methods of thinking, we shall begin to have some conceptions of the value of education, indeed, the power of knowledge. As the Sick Man of Asia in this already 21st century living in a hopeless, directionless, if not aimless nation - HELLO you millions of college educated Christians! In the meantime, a nation that believes there is a better world to come out there after death is not likely to give attention to the needs of the next generation. Look back my dear reader. As religious victims of stupid religion remember how our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents would rather love God up there by ignoring the future of our good country down here? That my dear reader is exactly the same attitude millions of Filipinos hold with much faith today about the future of our country. Amongst them are the “high officials” running the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our Philippine government. Not one of them is a humanist or a freethinker, but silly MAKA-DIOS!

Faith in Christ

“Faith in Christ is not just a single step but a life of walking with Him,” Phil Star Nov. 29,2009

Well, take a good look at us Filipinos. The only Christians in all of Asia walking with Christ since the 16th century? Aside from being poor spiritually as a people, bankrupt morally as a nation, look how we continue to have faith in Christ even as we are only getting more famous as the Sick Man of Asia in this already 21st century.

Now take a good and hard look at Bethlehem – the place where Christ of Nazareth was born. It never got to be converted into a Catholic community. It is still part of a Jewish State. Poch Suzara

The Tree of Good and Evil

The bible clearly disclosed about the existence of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Genesis 2: 9, 16-17 For Christ’s sake, can any of you religious faithfools tell me where exactly can I find that tree existing anywhere in the world today? All kinds of trees existing then have survived during all these past centuries. So how come that one particular TREE of knowledge of Good and Evil no longer exists? It has vanished? Is it possible it had already died and is now enjoying eternal plantation in the kingdom of God in heaven? Poch Suzara

God Bless You Holy Baloney

My dear reader, have you ever met any one who enjoys peace and love, security and prosperity and felicity – because he or she has been blessed by a divinity? Obviously this “God Bless you” holy baloney is based on a lot of celestial malarkey. Indeed, “God Bless You” is all about a religious phooey resulting in nothing except the need to pray for more God bless you hooey-chopsuey! In our sick society with sick values and sick beliefs, we are not the master, but the sick victims of religion. We are vulnerable to charlatans, crackpots, bible thumpers, saps, jerks, insane teachers and professors, dishonest priests, and corrupt politicians - the superstitious primitives of our day.

My Younger Years

I love the Philippines. I love it enough not to leave
it but to change it. I want my country back from those
who stole it still ruling and dominating it - Christianity - the greatest destroyer of human minds and human hearts. Consider, in this day and age, in our schools, colleges, and universities, we are still taught to believe that we can and must endure this life’s trials because there is a better life to come after death in the next world.

I can still feel the pain today as I witnessed yesterday as a boy seeing my parents, grandparents, and great grand mother together with all other relatives just like the rest of the millions of fellow-Filipinos. We would all be looking up to a God up there by looking down on one another down here right in our own poor and backward country - the Philippines. Indeed, we were always more proud to identify ourselves as Catholics; hardly, however, would we feel the joy of publicly declaring that we are also Filipino citizens of our beloved country.

2 Million Babies

3 babies are born every minute of the day and night in the Philippines. It amounts to about 2 million babies added each and every year to the needless Filipino population growth. It guarantees nothing but more squalor, more misery, and more poverty for our already sick society.

In the meantime, the frightened God-fearing politicians of our corrupt God-fearing government have not ceased declaring they will fight poverty. We have yet to hear them publicly declare that they will fight for family planning and birth control measures as a matter of national policy. Indeed, as a matter of establishing common human decency in the Philippines!

Indeed, religion encourages endless stupidity and an insufficient sense of stark reality that totally negates learning from history. Poch Suzara
