Revealed Bible Truth

Here's one great example of the Revealed Truth in the holy bible. A holy book written by inspired holy authors of God: "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled." -- Ezekiel 23:20-21

Ignorance and Poverty

Ignorance and poverty are one the same messy religiosity. Both evils are inspired endlessly by an unholy deviltry for the sake of our faith in holy divinity to promote nothing but social insanity, political perversity and, indeed, historical stupidity that maintains and supports Christianity perpetually. Poch Suzara

It is Incredibly Childish

It is incredibly childish how the religious morons know nothing of what's happening within their own family, community, and country; at the same time claim to know something about God in heaven and the devil in hell? Or that there is life not after birth, but life only after death. For Christ's sake, what in hell is our world coming into? Poch Suzara

Learning How to Learn

"In a world in transition, students and teachers both need to teach themselves one essential skill -learning how to learn." Carl Sagan

In De La Salle University, however, the place where I was expelled out of high school for wanting to learn not what is old, but what is new - our teachers wanted us to learn not how to think, but only what to believe.

Thus, instead of the art of intelligent thinking, only how to have faith in stupid believing.

To think that the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart; especially as inspired daily by silly religiosity blessed perpetually by a silly divinity to promote nothing but life long mediocrity. Poch Suzara

Glorifying God

"We were created to glorify God." Philippine Star Feb. 7,2011. If I may add, we were also created gifted with a free will to love, worship, and adore God whether we like it or not. After all, God is a cold-blooded perfection lost in self-admiration. For my part, I thank God I am an atheist. In the meantime, after I am dead, and I meet with God in heaven, and it turns out that God is a Catholic - I will do everything possible to escape or to get myself the hell expelled out of God's Catholic kingdom. I'd rather go back to earth. Poch Suzara

The Insane religious Mob

"When Christ told men that they should love each other, He produced such fury that the mob cried out: CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM! Christians ever since have followed the mob rather than the Founder of their religion." Bertrand Russell

And if I may add - especially the insane religious mob in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara

Be Happy with Life

To be happy in life one must get rid of anything that is useless, ugly, fearful, and mindless; indeed, get rid of religion. Especially as religion is organized misery reduced to a system of sacred malarkey.

As religion promises, there is no such thing as a better life to come after death. This is the only the better life after birth. life may be short, brief, and fleeting. Let us, however, learn to be happy here, there, and everywhere while we are on this earth. We do this by making others also happy. Poch Suzara

Long Life

Everybody wants to live a long life. Nobody, however, wants to grow old. As for me, I do not mind growing old.

After all, old age, like any other age, is the time to struggle not only for human decency, but also to struggle for the joys of human liberty.

As an aside, old age must also be the time to devote more time for music - especially jazz music as I am a jazz drummer.

Playing the drums, however, is just one of my many creative hobbies. I also love reading, writing, cooking, gardening, cleaning, library building, and the most creative of all - endless questioning. Indeed, I still enjoy seeking more questions.
I don't care much for the answers. After all, questions are far more precious that the answers because the answers, in time, become obsolete. Poch Suzara

The Bible

The bible is like a compass - it always points the believer to the right direction. Phil Star 1/19/2011

In the Philippines, the only Christian bible believer country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos have always been indoctrinated to follow the right biblical direction.

Indeed, right direction towards "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." 1John 2:15

But especially to follow Jesus in what He directed in the bible for family values:
"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 Poch Suzara

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is coming. Some 1,845 times the bible speaks of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Indeed, numerically, it is probably the most emphatic teaching of the New Testament predicted more than 2000 years ago.

So why should we worry about bible telling us that when Jesus arrives - the causes
of earthly trouble and worry will be wiped out of this world forever? No more tears, no more pain, sorrow, and no more death. Rev. 21:4

Well, action speaks louder than words. We are now living in the 21st century. So where is Jesus? Especially in the Philippines - the one and only poor and backward Christian country in Asia since the 16th century? Poch Suzara

Light

Jesus said: "You are the light of the world." Matt. 5:14. Paul said: "... For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

God said: "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do these things." Is. 45:7

And to think in the beginning where all was in darkness, God said: "Let there be light: and there was light." Genesis 1:3 and in Genesis 1:4 "God saw the light and it was good."

Strange, isn't it, that God Himself was no part of bright light. He Himself had to get out of darkness by creating the good light! Poch Suzara

Good Tree and Corrupt Tree

The bible states: "Every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bringeth forth evil fruit, neither
can a corrupt bring forth good fruit." Matt. 7:17-18

Now I ask you bible scholars please explain what the holy baloney was the purpose
of the creator for having created corrupt tree?

Are we to suppose to believe that God gifted the corrupt tree with a free will and therefore also guilty of the original corruption? Poch Suzara

The Search of the Truth

The search of the truth, no doubt, is a never-ending journey. Whatever the case may be, the search of the truth is man's most noblest of profession. Joyous and creative as that journey might be, we could, serendipitously, discover lies and deceptions along the way. It is, however, a great pity that the search of the truth has absolutely nothing to do with the system of education via our schools, colleges, and universities... In the meantime, the search for beliefs is man's most dangerous of ambition. Beliefs, especially "sacred" beliefs often based upon holy mediocrity that destroys the rare opportunities for social change, economic growth, political sanity, and cultural diversity.

The Messy Bible

"Many books inform, but only one transforms - the bible." Phil Star Jan. 24,2011

Indeed, the bible transforms; unfortunately, it has yet to transform the inspired authors of God to get out of the fine mess they all got into with bible contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, and atrocities.

In the meantime, take a closer look at the Revealed Truth in the bible. For Christ's sake, it has yet to be revealed. Poch Suzara

University of the Philippines

I often hear the claim that U.P. offers the best college education in the Philippines. For my part, I find the claim rather dubious, if not meretricious. After all, most of U.P. college students are products of six years in Catholic grade school and four years in Catholic high school. There are more than 1,200 schools, colleges, and universities established and owned and operated by the Catholic church and its affiliates in the Philippines. Thus, how can 4 years of U.P. college education overwhelm 10 years of praying via the neglect of precious learning? In the meantime, in our corrupt government, many of its congressmen and senators are products of U.P. They are just as corrupt carrying on our corrupt way of life as the Sick Children of Asia. The Philippine government has yet to take courageous measures to radically reform, strengthen, and in fact rescue the sick system of education. If I had my way, I would abolish heavenly education out of our country. I would abolish religion. I would, instead, replace it with more science, with earthly education - how to be prepared for this life, and to hell with preparation for the next life. There isn't any. There is only this life; especially in this country. Our country that need no more salvation for a silly divinity; but need only more civilization for humanity in the here and now.

The American Dream Overseas

The American dream overseas has been about concocting crimes in foreign countries and then present American military power as the best policemen in the world. It has also been about creating fire in foreign countries and then present American military power as the best fire-fighters in the world.

Such, in brief, has been the American Dream overseas. Especially since the end of World War Two.

Today, America is falling apart as a world power. 50 million American children, and increasing daily, are officially described as living in poverty. Their mothers and fathers too, 100 million of them, are also bankrupt. They have lost their jobs. And to think that the task of rebuilding America falls with American children and their children. Hopefully, it is not yet too late. America can still be transformed to be the real God Bless America - the real land of the free and the real home of the brave. Poch Suzara

Why I left the Catholic Church

Catholic theologians know all about God on earth as God is in heaven. That God is "almighty, eternal, holy, immortal, infinite, immense, immutable, invisible, just, loving, merciful, most high, most wise, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, patient, perfect, supreme, and true." But none of these well-informed Catholic theologians could answer my simple question: who amongst my dead grandparents, dead great grandparents, dead uncles, aunties, cousins, nephews, nieces, and dead in-laws, dead friends and dead teachers and mentors happily made it to heaven; and, who are the ones now suffering eternal fire burning in hell? Indeed, theology is purely based upon ignorance reduced to a system of lies and deceptions. But the real reason why I left the Catholic was due to the fact that just like every one else, I too was born an atheist. Indeed, coming out of mother's womb, I had no concept of a God in heaven or a devil in hell. However, after birth, I was raised and educated as a Catholic; especially to believe in the Son of God Jesus. Well, much to my consternation, I eventually discovered by reading the bible that Jesus himself was not a Catholic. He was never baptized by Catholic priests. Also, God himself, the Father of Jesus, was never ever a Catholic God. Poch Suzara

Holy Mary, Mother of God

Can we really imagine during the past 2,000 years in Catholic countries; and, 450 years in the Philippines - how we have all been praying daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly to "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen."

Isn't it getting ridiculous that Mary, the Mother of God has never given even two hoots to our endless prayers?

Look how in this already 21st century, as the Sick Man of Asia, we Filipinos are only getting more degraded as a people and getting more downgraded as a nation, simply because we are still waiting as we still have much faith in the promises of Mary, the Mother of God will be around during the hour of our stupid death, amen.

For my part, I said it before, I say it again: FUCK DEATH! Poch Suzara

Sanctimonious Lie

Are we Filipinos really the most religious people in all of Asia? It is a sanctimonious lie. In fact, we are the most religiously corrupt.

As a matter of historical fact, we are, on the contrary, the most irreligious people in all of Asia.

Indeed, religion has nothing to do with miracles, prayers, virtues, or believing a better life to come after death. Religion does not consist in having faith in God
up there, or, believing in His only begotten son Jesus as our Savior down here.

Religion is simply adding to the human welfare - indeed, to the human happiness of man in this world.

We are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by the power of Christian education in the Philippines. Look how, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos still love a silly divinity up there. We hardly give a goot for common humanity down here. Poch Suzara

Jose Rizal Never Said

Jose Rizal never said: "The Catholic church is worth dying for." Well, even so, Rizal was executed in pubic by the Catholic church. In fact, the Catholic priests even declared that hours before he was executed, Rizal "retracted" and died not as a heretic but as a penitent Catholic. Indeed, that hours before he was executed - Rizal cried like a frightened little boy and begged for confession, mass, and communion because he regretted much to have authored two great novels about the sins and the crimes behind the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic Church in the Philippines.

Now I ask: Why should we believe the Catholic priests? They have never ceased to tell us brazen lies about the way Jose Rizal died? Rizal himself already told us the truth not only about the way he lived and work3ed, but also about the lies and deceptions of the Catholic church? Especially in its teachings in schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines? Poch Suzara

Letter to PDI Editors

Philippine Daily Inquirer
Letter to the Editors
Dear Sirs:

The Greatest Filipinos in Philippine History

For his courageous defense of the cause of Filipino priesthood, Father Burgos earned for himself the name "Champion of the Cause of the Filipino Clergy." He incurred, however, the hatred of the Spanish Catholic friars. Thus, when the Cavite mutiny broke out in 1872, the Spanish authorities arrested him together with Father Gomez and Father Zamora, charging them of having incited the revolution. After a mock trial at Fort Santiago Kangaroo court on February 15, 1872, they were sentenced to die by means of the garrote, a Catholic strangulation by an iron collar tightened by a screw. On February 17, 1872, they were executed in Bagumbayan, now the Luneta.

Of course, since the rebellion of Fr Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora had no impact against the Catholic Church on the international arena - there was no need to concoct a RETRACTION story about the rebellious activities of these 3 Filipino Catholic priests.

On the other hand, Jose Rizal exposed via his two novels - the NOLI and FILI - for the whole world to discover the religious malarkey keeping the Filipino impoverished as a people and the Philippines backward as a country. Like Fr. Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora, Rizal, with trump-up charges by a Kangaroo court, was also publicly executed. The Spanish Catholic friars defending and protecting the religious industry of the Catholic church - had to concoct the RETRACTION garbage about the death of Jose Rizal - so that he will end up as just one ordinary Filipino Catholic who died penitent and regretted having challenged the wealth, power, and glory of Catholicism in this only Catholic country in Asia.

I said it before, I say it again: If we Filipinos in this already 21st century are still stuck and famous as the Sick Man of Asia - it is simply because we are still being educated and guided NOT with sane Rizalism; but indeed, we are still ruled and dominated in our own country by insane Catholicism. Poch Suzara Jan 25, 2011

On the Rizal Retracting Issue

Jan 21, 2011 Phil Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors >Dear Sirs: On the Rizal Retracting Issue I ask: Why is it only taught in our schools, colleges, and universities that the greatness of Rizal had nothing to do with his life's devotion to the search of the truth via questioning, writing, thinking, analyzing, and discovering the power and the beauty of science? But only everything to do with his death, with his so-called silly retraction? Indeed, in our spiritually poor and morally backward country - we are still being educated to believe and to have faith in how great Filipino thinkers and writers DIED for love of divinity; but hardly do we know about how they lived for love of country and indeed, love for humanity. So Rizal retracted before he was put to death. So, so what? The fact remains that the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic church - the killer of Rizal is still here pretty much in control of the minds of Pinoys and hearts of Pinays to believe and to have faith in a lot of holy baloney, if not to have faith in a bunch of sacred malarkey, not to mention biblical absurdities. As the Sick Man of Asian, let's take a closer look inside our banks, hospitals, lawyer's offices, doctor's clinic, government offices, stores, buses, jeepneys, taxis, trains, nipa huts, expensive homes, filthy rich palaces, etc, - we find the photo of Jesus Christ - a foreigner, born a Jew in a Jewish land, sired by Jewish parents, living under a Jewish custom, tradition, and culture. But hardly do we find inside our schools, colleges, and universities photos of one of the greatest Filipino this whole world has ever produced - Jose Rizal. I said it before, I say it again: as one human being to another, if we can still believe that there exist something precious outside human existence - then we are just as pathetic as any lunatic proud and happy as a Catholic. In the meantime, in this already 21st century - thanks to our religious values and biblical beliefs - life in general in the Philippines is nothing but a competition to be the criminal or be the victim of criminals. You meet such criminals in charge of our schools, colleges, and universities, and indeed, in charge of our government. Yours In Rizal, Poch Suzara

God Bless Holy Baloney

Each and every one of us, whether we are young or old, rich or poor, fat or thin, married or single, in sickness or in health - have our share of troubles in this world. My dear reader, I ask you: have you ever met any one who has NO troubles at all - in any shape or form in life simply because he or she has been blessed by God? Now what I need to know what exactly is this "God Bless you" holy malarkey all about? How blessed are you or any one else by God? Are you truly that blessed because God has provided for you with a healthy, happy, and free from troubles situation in life? Well, what about the millions of Filipinos who are poor, with no home, no food, no medicine, no running water, no toilet facilities, no future, and yet they pray daily to God to "give us this day our daily bread," and "lead us not into temptation!" Isn't it time to accept the plain truth that this GOD BLESS YOU utterances is based on a lot of holy baloney? Poch Suzara

Health

Is health a gift from God? Is health the result of prayer to God? We are told that health is the greatest of wealth. Perhaps, in space, but not in time. Indeed, life is so brief, short, and fleeting. Think of it: the day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. Now we are also told that God created man in his own image and likeness. Is this some sort of a joke? Why would God create man only to be dying sooner than later? More to the point: why would God, our creator, be interested in us not while we live, but only after we are dead? Don't we humans need a God who is lively; not a God who is deadly? Poch Suzara

Everybody Knows

Everybody knows that the truth has been revealed, but nobody knows what the truth is.
Everybody knows the soul is immortal, but nobody knows what the soul is.
Everybody knows that the will is free, but nobody knows what the will is.
Everybody knows the mind of God; but nobody knows who or what God is. In fact, nobody knows whether God is a He or a She or an It. What we know is that God is an invisible spirit. As if that is evidence enough to believe that God created man in his own invisible image and His likeness in spirit. Poch Suzara

Life's Purpose

As an atheist, I refuse to believe that life's only purpose is to find happiness. To examine one's life and finding and knowing one's self is far more precious. And then, indeed, to make life worth living - why must be truthful and useful and compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have had a reason for having lived on this earth. Thus, to leave this world one day a better place than how we found it. In the meantime, as an atheist, for me to believe that I can find and enjoy more happiness, but only after I am dead with God in heaven I consider such thoughts as the highest form of ridiculosity, if the the lowest form of ludicrosity. Poch Suzara

The Search for God

What makes human life tragic? The fact that we shall never find God in this life. But to continue searching for God in this life is, in the ultimate analysis, not only a holy baloney, but a mockery of what human life should be.

In the meantime, we are told that man's greatest goal: bringing glory to God. On the contrary, man's greatest stupidity is wasting his time and energy in this world praying to a silly entity otherwise more known as a mysterious divinity. Poch Suzara

The Death of Great Men

Death diminishes us all; especially the death of great men like the death of Jose Rizal. He proved himself most deserving to live the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Unfortunately, the mediocre and the Philistines had him executed. Then they told brazen lies about how Rizal died pathetic as a penitent Catholic. Poch Suzara

Pray for Us Sinners

We Filipinos are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia. Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, we Filipinos continue to pray to God to lead us not into temptation.

Conservatism

To add on to your sense of defeatism - none of the higher mental faculties are required for conservatism. The exact opposite of liberalism. As for me, in order to keep on generating the values of liberalism, I'd rather stimulate in myself and in others - the power and the beauty of intellectualism. Poch Suzara

God does not Exist

I have been asked: since I do not believe in the existence of God, why am I angry

Health In What

We are told that health is the greatest of wealth. Perhaps, only in space, but not in time. After all, Life is so brief, short, and fleeting.

In this connection, it has got to be some sort of a silly joke when we are also told that God created dying man in his own dying image and dying likeness. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell On China

"I have come to realize that the white race isn't as important as I used to think it was. If Europe and America kill themselves off in war it will not necessarily mean the destruction of the human species or even an end to civilization. There would still be a considerable number of Chinese left; and in many ways China is the greatest country I have ever seen. It is not only the greatest numerically and the greatest culturally, but it seems t be the greatest intellectually. I know of no other civilization where there is such open-mindedness, such realism, such willingness to face the facts as they are, instead of trying to distort them into a particular pattern." Bertrand Russell wrote the above in 1921, Today in this 21st century already over taking America, we can all see China as a world power on the rise not because of militarization, but precisely due to the power of science and technology, and indeed, the power of hard work otherwise more known as industrialization.

Good Example versus Good Advice

"A good example has more value than good advice." Published today in the
Phil Star 1/11/2011.

Indeed, I entirely agree. However, why should God tell us how to raise our children when, by example, God himself, drowned His?

In the bible, we are told that God created the world in six days; and on the seventh day, God rested.

I think mankind would have enjoyed a more peaceful and delightful world if God had not rested, but instead, on the 7th day, God had compassion for what He had created? After all, compassion put into action is love and love has only to do with priorities; it has nothing to do with options. Poch Suzara

The Sick Children of Asia

We Filipinos are, indeed, the Sick Children of Asia. Every day we pray to God to give us this day our daily bread and to lead us not into temptation.

Money and Honey

Man gives love in order to get sex. Woman gives sex in order to get love. All is fine and dandy as goes the story for the sake of human decency.

Trouble, however, arises when her man continues to give to other women more love for the sake of more honey. She too gives more sex to other men for the sake of more money.

For my part, I believe in the power of love. I believe it enough in the sense that to the woman I love, I wish her to be free, even free to be away from me. I wish her to go places in life and not just be taken for a ride.

In the ultimate analysis, love can only last for as long as the lovers mutually love a variety of things together and not merely love each other. Poch Suzara

Rizal and Which God

I am told that Rizal believed in God while he was being shot by a God-Blessed, God-inspired, and God-loving Firing Squad.

I ask: which God did Rizal believe - the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants?

Now in our schools, colleges, and universities we were taught ( by the killers of Rizal ) to believe and to have faith - that there is only ONE GOD.

Well, again, I ask: If it is true that there is only ONE GOD, why then would such GOD formulate in his First commandment: "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME."

Again, I ask: Where did those other GODS come from: Which higher God created those other lower GODS? And which God did Rizal embrace while he was being shot to death
for the glory of which God in heaven or which God in hell? Poch Suzara

Silly Free Will

If you believe you have the free will to do evil, forget it. God already beat you to it. In the bible, God openly admitted: "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil; I the Lord do these things." Isaiah 45:7

Since God is here and is there and is everywhere and God created your future and determined your destiny - your free will becomes a mindless, if not a heartless, not to mention a worthless - void.

In the meantime, there is nothing sacred in this world. Not even free will, especially when free will is not real or useful or it dies even before it has a chance to really be free. Indeed, many of us believe we have free will because we are able to desire this or desire that. But we are not free to know why we are ever so ignorant as to where exactly our desires come from. Poch Suzara

The holy Bible Baloney

Bible contents are recycled myths. It is not only essential that you throw your bible out the window. It is even more crucial that you cease to believe in the existence of supernatural beings. Indeed, they do not exist. If, however, they do exist – they are not worth believing. After all, supernatural beings have never directly introduced themselves to any one of us. We don’t even know if such beings were colorful, bright, radiant, shinning, or visibly luminous. We do know, however, based on Genesis, that if God existed during those ancient times, he was a black supernatural Being existing in pitch darkness. He had to create the sun to light up the gloomy darkness around Him, didn’t He? In the meantime, the inspired authors of God did not know that the world is round; but they knew that Joshua commanded the sun to stop. They believed that it is the sun that's moving around the earth. Nowadays, for the sake of the American economy - only the US Marines believe, protect, and defend the truths revealed in holy bible baloney. Poch Suzara

Social Progress and Improvements

Only upon the rejection of lies and deceptions, on the one hand; and, on the other hand, the elimination of falsehoods and delusions - can society progress and improve; especially with illumination via the power of education.

A good society is not enough. The endless growth and development of society is better. What, however, we must all do, however, is to create a society that is the best for each and every one of us. For all of its members, it is a never-ending daily duty and a yearly responsibility.

Unfortunately, in the Philippines, what we love more is not a healthy, but a sick society; especially for the sake of deviltry in heaven; and, on earth for the sake of a divinity - all rolled into one silly bundle known as Christianity. Poch Suzara

Only in the Philippines

Convicting and sentencing rich Pinoy criminals to jail is big financial arrangement in the halls of justice. Pardoning and Releasing the same rich Pinoy criminals out of jail is even a bigger financial business in the halls outside justice.

Jesus

Jesus was born of a Jewish mother in a Jewish town. Mary, His Mother was never a Catholic. During birth, Jesus was visited by 3 non-Catholic kings. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist who was a Baptist, not a Catholic. In fact, Jesus was never raised nor educated as a Catholic. His 12 apostles were not Catholic. Indeed, the rock upon which the church was built was not a Catholic rock. The Catholic church was purely built upon sacred lies and other holy deceptions for the sake of what eventually got to be known as the biggest, largest, richest, and most powerful bank in the world today - the Vatican Bank.

What If

What if all the people you hate on this earth will be rewarded with justice to enjoy eternal salvation in heaven under the management of deviltry? What if, after my own death, I find myself in heaven in the company of my former teachers and professors and father confessor? No way, I say. I'd rather kill myself. Over my dead body should I want to mingle in heaven with such mindless bullies and heartless tuti-frutie-patuties.

The Mess in our World

In this world of politics and religion, sin and crime, poverty and misery, perversity and stupidity, religion against other religions - happily, there is always something still to be grateful for.

I am not a Catholic

I am a not a Catholic. I am a Filipino.

The vast majority of Pinoys are, indeed,a hard working people. That is, of course, if hard working means exactly the same thing as hard praying. Indeed, we Pinoys attach more reliability to praying than we appreciate the miracles of hard thinking while hard working.

After all, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we were taught to believe and to never lose faith with the Word of God written in the holy bible such as: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth' and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Sadly, however, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the vast majority of poor Pinoys are still waiting and waiting for the results of their hard prayers said daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

In the meantime, we consume without producing. We are spending without earning. We are praying without working. What a waste of precious time as a people. What a waste of precious energy as a nation. We poor Pinoys are still stuck with our silly prayers behind a silly theology; when we should already be growing as a people with science and developing as a nation with technology. Poch Suzara

Sins of the Priests

The more sins you commit and confess, the more the church profits by the steps you have to take to mitigate your punishment in Purgatory before going, eventually, to heaven. The system is convenient both for the priests and for the sinners. It is, however, silly to pretend that such a system inspires growth as a people and enhances development as a nation. In fact, what it does promote is the spiritually poor Filipino getting more and more famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Our Corrupt System of Education

We, the Poor Pinoys

The vast majority of Pinoys are, indeed, a hard working people. That is, of course, if hard working means exactly the same thing as hard praying. Indeed, we Pinoys attach more reliability by praying than we appreciate the values of working.

After all, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we were taught to believe, indeed, never lose faith in the Word of God written in the holy bible like: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth' and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Sadly, however, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the vast majority of poor Pinoys are still waiting and waiting for the results of their hard prayers said hourly, daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

In the meantime, we consume without producing. We are spending without earning. We are praying without working. Instead of struggling creatively against foreigners, we would rather compete against each other to achieve more of the same old nothing.

What a waste of precious time as a people. What a waste of precious energy as a nation. We Pinoys are still stuck with silly prayers behind a silly theology. At this point in time of Philippine history - we should have already grown as a people with science and should have already developed as a nation with technology. Poch Suzara

Prayers of Medical Doctors

In order to enjoy success, wealth, power, and glory in this life - medical doctors must pray daily to ask God to never, ever, make health infectious; but only to please always keep diseases contagious. Such is the sick career of medical doctors on earth for the greater glory of a sick God in heaven. For my part, I have all the love and respect and admiration for doctors who are like me - an atheist. Poch Suzara

God Bless You Malarkey

I have met many people, both rich and poor in the Philippines and in foreign countries. But never, have I ever met a person who is exempted from troubles or spared of problems because he or she has been truly blessed by a loving, kind, and a merciful God. "God Bless You" is a message not only based upon a lot of useless mystery; it is also about mindless spirituality, if not about a lot of sacred baloney, not to mention a lot of sacred malarkey. No one, but no one has ever been blessed by God. Though I have a sneaky suspicion that if there is any one that God has always blessed - it is the devil - his partner in crime against humanity.

Mark Zuckerberg - Man of the Year 2010

Mark Zuckerberg - Founder of Facebook - was born in White Plains, New York to Karen, a psychiatrist, and Edward, a dentist. Mark and three sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle, were brought up in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Zuckerberg was raised Jewish, including having his bar mitzvah when he turned 13, although he has since described himself as an atheist. Cheers to the Atheist movement throughout the world. It is about time we destroy the greatest twister of minds and distorter of hearts - stupid religion. The evil should already be dead and buried forever. Indeed, religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality for the glory of a divinity in hell cahoots with deviltry in heaven. Poch Suzara

Jesus and His last Words

Jesus' last words on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" hardly seem like the words of a Savior of mankind.

Good without religion

I was good as a child. I had no faith in any religion. In fact, when I came out of my mom's womb - I was an atheist. Just like every one else is an atheist born into this world... It was only at the age of reason when I was told that God created me in his own image and likeness and that I was born with Original Sin. That any sin or crime I commit can be forgiven by God via confession to a priest. Except of course the sin of not believing in the Holy Spirit. That, for as long I have faith in God, my soul will be saved under eternal salvation; otherwise, if I continue to follow the ways of the devil as a sinner - I will be punished forever and ever under eternal damnation. Indeed, I am back to being good, especially good for something, and no longer good for nothing when I reverted back to my original atheism... Can you imagine how mentally confused, emotionally twisted, and psychologically distorted I was, as a growing boy, indoctrinated to be frightened of all those sick characters revealed in the holy bible as the truth?

The Death of Jesus

Jesus, the Son of a Jewish God, was born in a Jewish town. He died on a Jewish cross for your Catholic sins. Should you not therefore celebrate the death of Jesus by committing more Catholic sins? Now could any of you really believe in Jesus, a Jew, crucified on a Jewish cross by fellow-Jews, dying and then resurrecting for the sins of the Catholics? As for me, for the sake of sanity, I put aside incredulity. I utterly refuse to attach credibility to this childish, indeed, fantastic bible silly story written and inspired by a silly divinity.

China and the Philippines

Dec. 12, 2010
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Manila

Letter to the Editors

Dear Editors:

China is a great nation. She has a government. Manage effectively by its own government officials. Especially how to deal, fearlessly, with foreign power. Such as the Catholic Church and its bishops meddling into Chinese State affairs.

In the Philippines, we hardly have a government of, by, and for the people. What we have, however, are lots of government officials working to enrich themselves. Most of them products of Catholic education via schools, colleges, and Universities established in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Consider the way our so-called Public Servants as government officials begin, if at all, their work in the office. They begin with daily prayers to God to give us this day our daily bread, and to lead us not into temptation! Is it any wonder that we Filipinos continue to be losers as a people? But our public servants also pray daily to Mary, Mother of God - to pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen. It is any wonder that the Philippines continue to be a failure as a nation?

I said it before, I say it again: In this already 21st century, it is time for us Filipinos to radically re-evaluate our system of education. Otherwise, as this century ends 90 years from now - we Filipinos will continue to be not the rich masters, but only the poor victims of childish politics in cahoots with infantile religious values.

Free Will not that Free

The Holy Bible is not Holy

There are more than 57 different versions of the bible sold in bookstores today: - Duane, Catholic, King James, Good news, New Standard, New International, New American bible, etc, etc. As an aside, the bible has been revised, renewed, re-edited, mutilated, distorted, twisted, re-interpreted, re-issued,a and tampered with. Well, despite such changes, the bible continues to be a compilation of trashy, incoherent, confabulated, incredible tales, poems, sagas, and pieces of dramas. It is full of hatred, revenge, murder, bloodshed, greed, falsehoods, lies, deception, illusion, confusion, delusion, sado-masochism, absurdities, inconsistencies, atrocities, contradictions, lust, stupidities, and obscenities. Well, here is something that has not changed during these past thousands of years. Such beauties and consistencies have not been formulated by any inspired authors. It has been and still the perfect model of truth. It is precise, exact and certain, and free from all temporal dross - it is known as THE MULTIPLICATION TABLE. I ask: have any of you ever heard of different conflicting version of the MULTIPLICATION TABLE sold in bookstores today??? Nay, have you people ever heard of a nation declaring war on other nations because they did not believe or did not have faith in the truth that 2 plus 2 equals 4??? I rest my case - the bible is not only repulsive, furtive, constrictive, and seductive; it has also been historically destructive! I said it before, I say it again: look deep at the Philippines. The only Christian country in Asia under holy bible guidance as revealed truth since the 16th century. The vast majority of Filipinos have never been taught how to be intelligent MASTERS of religion, but only how to be the stupid VICTIMS of organized superstition. Poch Suzara

God Bless You Messages

I always get this message: "God Bless you." I ask - have you, my dear reader, have you ever met any one who has been really blessed by God in this world? I am already an old man. Thus far, all the men, women, and children I have met around the world I noticed all have been blessed by God. But in fact, all of them are afflicted with some kind of trouble, if not suffering from some kind of problem that each and every one of us - suffer from! Again, I ask: What if there is really a God existing out there - how relevant is that God to human happiness or to human joys, or indeed, to human affairs? Indeed, "God Bless You" message does not mean a damn thing. Whether you are rich or poor. Tall or short. fat or thin. Black or white. Asian or American or African or European - you will always be a victim of some kind of trouble in this sick world specially as God has blessed you. Poch Suzara

OK, I Want to Serve God

I want to serve God. Now where do I go to start serving God? Do I go here? Do I go there? Do I go everywhere as I am told that God is everywhere?

Isn't it possible that by the time I begin to serve God here, or serve God there, or serve God everywhere I will already be so sick and tired
and insane just to be able to find first his exact whereabouts??

Now we are told that God gifted all of us with a free will. That's fine and dandy. Indeed, we have the free will to choose our friends; but where is our free will to
choose our family?

Please don't me wrong. I am happy and proud of my mother, father, grandparents, and sisters and son and daughter and wife, and cousins, uncles, and aunties. As a matter of fact, I love my family. However, I have neither love nor affection for a silly mystery otherwise more known as divinity. Poch Suzara

Filipino Endless Suffering

Genesis 1:28-31

My dear reader please read carefully and critically Genesis 2:28 -31

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

In Gen. 1:28 God instructs man to do 5 things: Have Dominion, be Fruitful, Multiply, Replenish, and Subdue!

Dominion: He has given man the power to rule on earth,which mean we should rule our circumstances and not let them rule us.

Be Fruitful: be productive! Produce desired results! Our lives should make a difference in the earth.

Multiply: Produce after our own kind. To bring increase! To usher in the next generation. To spread good in the earth.

Replenish: to fill or refill, to provide whatever is lacking. You have the answer to somebody else problems.

Subdue: To conquer! To walk in victory in every area of your life!

What, however, God and His inspired silly authors ignored to mention in Genesis is the existence germs, viruses, and bacteria. Such little monsters, trillions of them, living inside the body of every living thing, especially in the human body have the real destructive power and the real deadly dominion over all living things.

We are all born Equal

"Virtually all religions rely upon early childhood indoctrination as the prime infection strategy." Darrel Ray. . . Indeed, We are all born with no religion. That is a truth no one can deny. After all, we are all born sane equally. We are all born as atheists. No child is born having faith in any religion. . . Sadly, however, due to circumstances beyond the control of our free will, we do not grow up as equally sane. We are raised and educated to be insane Christians, or insane Muslims, or insane Jews - all hating one another while making a mockery of the truth that as innocent babies coming out of mother's womb - we were all equally sane as unbelievers of stupid faith. . .

Why not blame God or his cohort - the devil? Perhaps, you are miserably disappointed with the devil who obviously was quite a success in convincing God to grant me the free will to be an atheist?

"Fear God, and you will have nothing else to fear." Philippine Star, November 3,2010.
This is timidity to promote nothing but social insanity for the sake of a silly divinity.

Listen to Bertrand Russell: "Fear generates impulses of cruelty, and therefore promotes such superstitious beliefs as seem to justify cruelty. Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of great fear... Many a man will have the courage to die in battle, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which he is asked to die is an unworthy one." Poch Suzara

Quality of Life

The silly religious morons of this world attach more importance to the quantity of life for the sake of a malevolent divinity rather than the quality of life for the sake of benevolent humanity.

Atheists Make a Difference

We atheists know and accept that a different world cannot be built by people who are indifferent. That is why, we atheists are trying to make a difference. The purpose of life is not only to be happy, but also to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate, to stand for something; not to kneel down to nothing. We, humans must make the difference. Especially for the sake of this world. Our world. Otherwise, we would have very little reason to have lived at all. Poch Suzara

Purpose to Life

Indeed, fear and guilt must give way to joy and liberty. Ignorance must bow before knowledge. Superstition must retreat before reason. We must realize that civilization of the world belongs to man and that we are part owners. We must insist on keeping our shares safe for those who will follow us.

With love in our hearts, let us stand on our own feet, accept responsibility for our own actions, and solve our own problems without needlessly confusing the issues with meaningless words, and primitive, destructive, doctrines.

If there be a purpose to life, that purpose must be to leave this world, our world, a little better than we found it, or there is little reason for our having lived. Poch Suzara

“Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.” Why couldn’t Mary just talk to her son Jesus doing nothing in heaven, to stop fucking around,and to get cracking on earth? Or talk to the Father of Jesus, her own husband - God, to stop all these fucking stupid prayers and just begin solving the human problems of the human world? After all, she herself is a human being gifted with a free will also??? What kind of a silly woman is Mary as a woman, a mother to her son, and as a wife to her husband? And by the way, what’s the big deal about good for nothing virgins mindlessly existing in paradise? Poch Suzara

Why We Filipinos are poor

To me, we Filipinos have always been poor and will continue to remain poor simply because of our poor system of education.

In our schools, colleges, and universities - we Filipinos are still taught how to have faith in our poor upbringing, poor nutrition, poor values, poor beliefs, poor ideas, poor ideals, poor sense for social sanity, poor sense of national identity, and poor spirit towards life in this world. Our world. The only world we know. Poch Suzara

The Fear of Death

Atheist Mark Twain rationally dismissed the fear of death. He clearly wrote: “I do not fear death. I have been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

For my part, as an atheist myself, let me put it in this way: for billions of years before I was born, I was existing as a nothing. Now why should it bother me to realize that after I am dead, I will again be existing as a nothing?

Life after death? I say – fuck that shit - dead as it is! Poch

What a God

It is incredible how God is so cold-blooded in perfection, so lost for more admiration, so hungry for more glorification, and so childish for more veneration, not to mention so sick for more adoration.

In the meantime, under such destruction, God is nowhere to be found each time we need him even for a little restoration, nay, a little earthly salvation.

Reality

No matter who or what or where we are, male or female, poor or rich, married or single, atheistic, Asiatic, or just plain pathetic, bucolic, or even jesuitic as a catholic – each and everyone one of us, whether we like it or not, are the victims of mockery as generated by reality. Consider:

Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it.

Life terrestrially everywhere is all about such reality – birth, growth, death, and decay. It's all so mindless, directionless, not to mention utterly meaningless. Purposeless.

Short and brief and fleeting as life is, I would rather look into the Greek spirit of the ancient world: To find life beautiful and delightful to live in was the mark of a Greek spirit.

In the meantime, enlightenment is not something to achieve. It is something to experience. Poch Suzara

Poverty, Stupidity, Insanity as the Holy Trinity

Satan took Jesus to a mountaintop and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory in them, saying: “All these things I will give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” Matt. 4:8-9. . . Was Jesus such a mediocre fellow, a simpleton, gullible enough not to have questioned Satan? When and how did Satan acquire the legal rights and the Torren Titles registered to those kingdoms of the world?. . . In the meantime, think how well Jesus could have served as the king of kings. As the emperor of the world. Think of the brilliant and loving things he could have made happen with such power, could have ruled with such great authority. He could have created a social system to remedy poverty. Done much to equalize wealth. Established universal education. Instituted civil liberties. Brought peace among warring nations. He could done all this and, through such service, established global peace, tranquility, and sanity. He could have gone down in world history as not only the most powerful, but also the most wise, the most just, the most kind, and the most humane king that ever graced the human race. . . But no. Jesus, instead, declared: “Love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” John 2:15. . . Thus, poverty and stupidity and insanity are one and the same holy trinity otherwise more known as Christianity; especially in the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara

Life With God in the Philippines

Let’s seriously look at the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. In this already 21st, our country remains poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, infantile politically, insane socially, inefficient scientifically, and directionless nationally. In our schools, colleges, and universities, we are all taught to have faith in God who so “loved the world (the Philippines) that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. In the Christian religion, however, is a strong message that rewards poverty, sickness, thoughtlessness, or anything that would put one in an inferior status. By the same token, self-esteem, self-reliance, competence, or anything that would put one in a superior status is belittled. God loves the humble, the meek, the inferior; but He is jealous of the self-sufficient. We Filipinos must never be self-sufficient lest we offend God. We must always play the role of the inferior and in turn, for living a submissive, mindless, frightened life is the promise that if we were good, especially good for nothing, we shall be rewarded later by God in heaven. Since the 16th century, we have faithfully believed in Jesus, the Son of God, who preached: “Love not this world, ( the Philippines), neither the things that are in the world. If any man (Filipino) love the world, the love of the Father is not with him.” John 2:15 Christianity has had every opportunity to straighten out the mess in the Philippines, and yet, in this already 21st century, our country is only getting into a deeper mess - socially, politically, and economically. We seek drama and excitement. When we do not get satisfaction on some level, we create for ourselves the drama of destruction. We are a nation of frightened believers. We have yet to seriously grasp the full impact of what it means to grow as a people and to mature as a nation. Corruption, hypocrisy, and indifference to truth are our national defects. It is incredible how so old a religion as Christianity should devote its influence to keeping the Philippines with no standard of honesty; only a standard for corruption. We solve our corruption problem with prayer only to find ourselves even more corrupt with more problems. Meanwhile, we are told again and again that God’s answers are wiser than our prayers. In China, they have Chinese Gods. In India, they have Indian Gods. In Japan, they have Japanese Gods. In Malaysia, they have Malaysian Gods. In Indonesia, they have Indonesian Gods. But in the Philippines, however, we have no Filipino Gods. We have, instead, a Jewish God. As if we Filipinos have anything to do whatsoever with the God of the Jewish people in Israel – a foreign land. In the meantime, today, if you try to give a bible to a Jew in Israel you can be arrested. Even an act of kindness by a Christian toward a Jew, such as giving a gift of food, can be interpreted as trying to convert the Jew to Christianity and can bring a 5 year prison sentence. Now let’s take a closer look at Christianity in the Philippines. Let’s see where it has taken us as the only Christian country in Asia. To those capable of thought, it is so obvious that Christianity strives on guilt. Guilt, not love, is what Christianity is all about. For all of its alleged concern for the “poor in spirit,” Christianity does it best to generate spiritual poverty under social insanity. Indeed, Christianity has been quite a success in our country. In exchange for obedience, we have been promised salvation in the afterlife. In order, however, to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity sees to it that we need salvation or that there is something to be “saved” from. It is, in this way, that we have been educated to believe that we are sinful and worthless in the face of God; or that we Filipinos are potential fuel for the flames in hell. Thus, Christianity destroys reason before it introduces faith, so it must also destroy our potential for growth and maturity so that we can value the concept of salvation – indeed, the so-called “better life to come after death in the kingdom of God.” No doubt, we all want to go to heaven. So how come none of us want to die? Christianity has had vested interest in misery in our country. Of course, it is not called “misery.” It is not even called “suffering.” Instead, Christianity prefers to call it “sacrifices” in this life so that benefits may be won in the hereafter. Through the notion that “sacrifice” is a virtue, Christianity has succeeded in convincing all of us that misery experienced through “sacrifice” is a mark of virtue. Social and political and economic misery become the reflection of morality – and conversely, growth as people and maturity as a nation become the reflection of immorality. Christianity does not preach - “Go forth and be poor and miserable.” Rather, it says, “Go forth and practice the virtues of self-sacrifice.” In the meantime, the richest, most powerful bank in the world is the Vatican bank. Its cash deposits are in the trillions of dollars. Here are samples of inspired messages published daily in the Philippines. It is about the “virtues of self-sacrifice,” if not about being “poor in spirit.” They are also about what our education has been traditionally rooted upon – the preparation for immortality rather than the preparation for the responsibility of well-informed citizenry: Nothing can compare the love of God. To see Jesus will be heaven’s greatest joy. Work that are done out of love for Jesus shines brightest in a dark world. When Christ is the center of your focus, all else will come into proper perspective. For the Christian, heaven is spelled H-O-M-E. Each small step of faith is a giant step in growth. The primary reason for living in this world is to reflect the likeness of Christ. God’s truth uncovers Satan’s lies. God’s answers are wiser than our prayers. A heart in tune with God sings melodies of praise. Worry is a burden God never intended us to bear. We are more precious to Jesus than the costliest diamond. The Christian’s race is not a competitive event but an endurance run. Patience means awaiting God’s time without doubting God’s love In the meantime, here are words from one of the greatest men this world has ever produced. He happens to be our national hero – Jose Rizal - the greatest of Filipino thinkers. He was publicly executed by Christianity in 1896 in the Philippines. In exact opposite of what Christianity teaches, Jose Rizal simply wrote: “I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, and honorable.” In clear view of the reality that human consciousness shapes a nation, I ask: where are the schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines that seriously teach Filipinos how to become worthy, noble, and honorable? Indeed, where are the Filipinos educated to achieve the greatest kind of freedom for our country – the freedom from the evils of religion? Poch Suzara

So hell is such a miserable and a terrible place for damned souls to suffer punishment forever and ever. But how come the devil is most happy, if not always joyful, in fact quite a success as God’s chief administrator of hell? Indeed, the devil properly sees to it that hell is a hot, well-lighted, well-managed place for God’s sake on earth as it is for His glory in heaven. Poch Suzara

Sick Bullshit

In this sick country of ours, as we are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia, Philippine Star newspaper has the sick gall to publish this more of the same divine sick bullshit: GOD'S GRACE IS IMMEASURABLE; HIS MERCY INEXHAUSTIBLE; HIS PEACE INEXPRESSIBLE. (Sept. 5, 2020). Why don't we add something more truthful - GOD'S CRUELTY IS DESPICABLE PERPETUALLY. Look how God keeps the devil still pretty much alive and kicking enjoying his FREE WILL.

Born Ignorant, Not Stupid

For the most part, school, colleges, and universities are places where students are frightened to accept answers to questions that they have not even raised. Thus, we are a nation of frightened believers; hardly a nation of courageous thinkers. We are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education. Poch Suzara

Human Happiness

For my part, I have found more peace of mind, indeed,happiness while writing my thoughts to provoke your thoughts in my Blogspot than, say, having a sexual relationship with a women while praying to God r than just relating with others has encouraged me to ppy life; especially one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Oh yes, when we are in love, we want to tell the whole world about it. My Blogspot is a personal statement in how exactly I have been deeply in love while enjoying happiness in this life on this earth. Poch Suzara

God Not Needed

In his new book - "The Grand Design" - British Physicist and Mathematician Stephen says God is not needed for creating the universe. Hawking writes: "Because there is a law, such as gravity, Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist." I entirely agree. If there is a God, however, what we need him for is to straighten the religious mess out of this world often bloody in his name down here for his glory up there. After all, God may have created this world, but the devil has been it chief maintenance and keeps it going. Poch Suzara

Global Sanity

In this already 21st century, if we were to enjoy global sanity, we must all begin to realize and accept the fact that churches, cathedrals, mosques, temples, synagogues, and pagodas have always been and still are nothing but monuments to human stupidity.
If, indeed, God is everywhere, why do we need to hate and kill each other just to prove to each other that God is everywhere? Poch Suzara

We Filipinos

Indeed, if we Filipinos were to gain some ground in the race to achieve a higher standard of living and thinking - what we Filipinos need and need desperately is more intelligent science and sensible technology. We need no more silly prayer and stupid theology for the glory of a mindless divinity. Poch Suzara
