King Midas, King Moron, Democracy

King Midas turned to gold EVERYTHING he touched. As a result, with nothing
but GOLD around him - he starved to death.

King Moron had nothing but FAITH in God for the people of his kingdom. As a result, King Moron transformed his kingdom into a cathedral - the tallest and grandest of monuments honoring nothing except human stupidity.

In the meantime, ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES - if our politicians in the government
were not corrupt, selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane - they are able, at least,
to easily get on their knees to pray to God together; but never, however, are they also able to act for our growth as a people and for our development as a nation all
together.

Oh yes, indeed, democracy in the Philippines has little to do with the power of
ideas and ideals. It has more to do with defending our silly beliefs and protecting our obsolete values down here especially for the sake of nourishing the power of the Almighty Divinity up there. Poch Suzara

Philippine Biggest Crocs

Published today Oct. 4, 2011 in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Letters to the Editor:

When will they catch biggest crocs

It is a miracle, isn't it? We could easily catch the biggest crocodile living poorly in our jungles; but we have yet to capture and put in jail the biggest crocodiles living luxuriously as government officials in our impoverished country. Poch Suzara

Sex Tours in the Philippines

We are all felt insulted by the US Ambassador Harry K. Thomas Jr for publicly saying
that "40% of foreign male tourists visit the Philippines just for sex."

This is, indeed, an ugly truth and the truth hurts. Well, if we Filipinos continue
hurting as a people, it is mainly because in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia - the "truth" especially the "revealed truth" goes marching on!

I am willing to bet my last bottom dollar that if, Ambassador Harry K. Thomas had instead declared that "40 % of the foreign tourists visit the Philippines just to pray to Mary, mother of God, to pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our
death - we would all immediately start a mass movement to get US Ambassador Harry K. Thomas be canonized an American saint even before he hits the bucket. Poch Suzara

The Republic of Mediocrity

In the Republic of Mediocrity, the man of thought is one who is considered to be a failure, a loser, a lost soul, a nuisance, or a Talking Serpent. I am most proud to be known as one such a man of thought; especially as I do habitually enjoy provoking my thoughts and those of others. The mark of a poorly educated man is that he hates lively analysis. He loves only the monotony of deadly paralysis. Sadly, however, in the Republic of Mediocrity, fucking is always more active than thinking. The power of thought is seldom stimulating. Hardly inspiring. In fact, thinking is something frightening. Indeed, we must only get busy fucking; never mind thinking. God will punish any one to everlasting fire who would rather be doing lots of thinking! In the meantime, I said it before, I say it again: Let us, with all the allegiance we can muster to become: a citizen of the Republic of Scholarship. In this Republic, every citizen has a constitutional right to get himself as thoroughly lost as he pleases; especially via the spirit of inquiry. Poch Suzara

Human Life is Precious

"Every one of us is precious in the cosmic perspective. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another." Carl Sagan. Oh Carl, I have no problem with any one who disagree with me. It is those lovable scoundrels, thieves, swindlers, liars, cheaters, deceivers, believers, and sick politicians in government always in cahoots with sick theologians of the church that I wish all dead and buried. No, I would kill them myself; but I should be most happy to read about them in the Obituary. Poch Suzara

The Greatest Failures in Life

The greatest failures in life are those who live with the right answers to wrong questions. The greatest success, however, are those who question everything as the answers, with few exceptions, in time, become obsolete. Only the few have the courage to question what has always been taken for granted. The many, always living in fear, question nothing. Indeed, they hate the power of thought. What they love is faith. Faith has the power to make people feel timid comfortably, if not feel lazy conveniently. In the Philippines, however, faith has been and still is quite a success. Faith is the engine that generates the failure of our values that promotes the success in what makes us the Sick Man of Asia. . . Poch Suzara

FREEDOM IN THE PHILIPPINES

We may enjoy anytime, anywhere in our sick society the FREEDOM of corruption, deceptions, degradation, perversion, confusion, illusion, extortion, temptation, falsification, imitation, erection, sensation, devotion, pollution, delusion, fornication, ill-sanitation, not to mention the circus-like freedom of investigation in aid for legislation... Never, however, must we ever enjoy the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION; especially if you have discovered something truthful to share. The truth hurts. In the Philippines, however, the truth as revealed in the bible hurts even more! Therefore, if we expose the revealed Truth in the bible - we shall only be thought of as "atheist." "failure," a "loser," "a homosexual," a "lost soul," or one not "blessed by God" For my part, already known to be a failure, a loser, a lost soul, and an atheist, etc. - never do I dream of winning more new title attached to my name. But I feel proud when I am told that I am the "appointed Son" of the Talking Serpent. Wow, what an "honor." Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Fuicking Truth Against Thinking Truth

The Thinking truth is all about the search of the truth. The fucking truth is all about the TRUTH in the bible known as the "Revealed Truth" that has yet to
be REVEALED.

When Pontius Pilate asked: WHAT IS TRUTH - who amongst the inspired writers of God including the million of readers of the bible KNOW the answer?

Now you asked me what is truth to me? Well, among other things, simply this: SCIENCE takes you on a flight to the moon to prove the truth of TECHNOLOGY. RELIGION takes you on a flight to destroy buildings to prove the truth of THEOLOGY.

See what I mean about the FUCKING TRUTH against the THINKING TRUTH? Poch Suzara

Religion - the ORGANIZED marketing of fear

Blessed are the poor ( donate heavily ).
Blessed are the meek ( obey faithfully ).
Blessed are the humble ( don’t question authority ).
Blessed are the hungry ( make us rich until it hurts spiritually ).
Blessed are the merciful ( if you catch us fucking choir boys, let it go ).
Blessed are the pure of heart ( because your brains are switched off ).
Blessed are the timid, the cowardly, the fearful.
Blessed are those who give us their power and become our slaves.
Indeed, Blessed are the fucking truth, fuck the thinking truth.

Self-Discovery

There is a treasure existing that's far more precious than happiness. It is the discovery of one's inner self. Indeed, the thoughtless life is not worth living for man. It is not what you are or where you are that matters. It is how you are able to enjoy the power of thought that counts. Poch Suzara

My Beloved Teacher

After I was expelled out of La Salle high school some 60 years ago, I enrolled in the greatest of all universities - a collection of books. I decided to go on for life on an endless self-study course. I only had one teacher that I could love and respect - Bertrand Russell. With much joy and pleasure Russell taught me how, in life, I should aim high, so that if I missed, I won't be far below.

Well, my teacher Russell never knew it, but I already aimed that in this life, I will play a part in bringing down and out of my country - the evils known as Christianity. In this way, in case I missed, I could also play a lesser part in abolishing what keeps Christianity in complete control of the Filipino minds and hearts - schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines.

System of Education in the Philippines

It is mainly due to the power of education, especially during formative years in
grade school that inspires millions of Pinoys and Pinays to readily believe as true the childish claims of the religious leaders of our sick society. Such characters known as the Catholic bishops; Bro. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; Bro, Eli Soriano of Dating Daan; Bro. Eddie Manalo of Tamang Daan; Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement; and the new face in the religious circus today keeping the Philippines spiritually poor and morally backward - Fr. Fernando Suarez and his Healing Rosary Money-making business.

Indeed, religion encourages human stupidity that culminates into social insanity.
And to think that we are all already born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid via our schools, colleges, and universities under the strict supervision of Christianity in the Philippines.

For with me, personally, to the end of my days in this world, I shall continue to brag with self-respect and dignity that I was expelled out of such commercial and/or religious enterprises otherwise more popularly known as the "system of education in the Philippines." Poch Suzara

Which is Better

Which is better: to become what we THINK, or, to become what we BELIEVE? Here is a hint for you: Any child during formative years in school can be frightened to BELIEVE in a lot of nonsense. Do you know that millions of college-educated Filipinos today believe that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening as something true and real and not actually just an illusion? Indeed, these are the same millions of college-educated Filipinos who believe that God exist and will provide for them for as long they believe and have faith. I asked it before, I ask it again: God will provide such college-educated Filipinos with What? Poch Suzara

Faith in Human Stupidity

We Filipinos have been taught to believe that: a man of faith is more likely to be successful, loved, and respected in society than if he is a man of reason. So our college educated men and women including our corrupt politicians in government and our corrupt bishops in church take advantage of this mess by being even more faithful than how Catholic schools, colleges, and universities have twisted, distorted, indeed, molded them to be. In the Philippines, have we never heard of a faithful Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH while believing that God is BAD? And yet, right before our eyes, we see millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR while they have faith in a God is GOOD. Poch Suzara

Evils of Christianity in the Philippines

When the foreigners arrived here in the 16th century, we had the land, and they had the bible. Today in the 21st century, we Filipinos still have the bible and the foreigners own not only most of our land, but are also the owners of schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines. Not to mention the media. Such commercial enterprises continue to teach us Filipinos to be proud of our Christian faith. Especially for as long as we do not bother to read what’s precisely written n the bible. A book written not by Filipinos but written by foreigners – the Jews – the “elect,” God’s “chosen people.” My dear reader, I ask: have you ever wondered why we Filipinos feel so proud and lucky to be employed by foreigners right here in our own country? If not feel even more proud and luckier to be employed in foreign countries? In the meantime, a great number of poverty-stricken jobless Filipinos nevertheless feel so blessed by God as the bible declares: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land." Also, "For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." Or even more socially disastrous, the bible warns - "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." On the contrary, when one allows one kind of fear to dominate him, he soon comes to be dominated by other kinds of fear also. Listen to our own Jose Rizal - arrested, jailed, and publicly executed for writing two book that shook the foundation of Christianity in the Philippines. He stressed the worth of the Filipino. He emphasized the fact that human dignity is a person’s worth, that which makes him stand above all other creatures. In his exchange of ideas on human rights and freedom with Fr. Pablo Pastells, Rizal said: “ Man’s dignity is precious to him. He carries within him a feeling of importance, a regard for his value and worth. When man ceases to value his dignity as a human being, he ceases to be a man. He forgets that nothing, indeed, is more excellent than humanity. . . Deprive a man of his dignity, and you not only deprive him of his moral stamina, but you also render him useless even to those who want to make use of him. . . Man in his self-respect; take it away from him and he becomes a corpse.” There is, indeed, something feeble, if not despicable, about a Filipino who cannot live his life unless sustained by the belief in deadly superstitions. Such as - one need not bother with poverty, disease, and population growth because God will provide. Or, that "blessed are those who are poor in spirit. They shall inherit the kingdom of God in heaven." It is time for us Filipinos to be receptive to the values of science and scientific way of thinking, and technology. Such values should help us extricate ourselves out of poverty by generating our intellectual growth as a people, and development as a civilized and a matured nation. It is also time to realize that we have been educated to only be amenable to more of the same blind faith in the Christian way of life. It has, indeed, turned out to be our worst enemy: faith kills the mind before other diseases kill the body. Faith is just another sacred word we have been taught to employ to justify a lazy mentality, rationalize our lack of creativity, if not to maintain and to support the ways of our sick society. So deeply rooted in the teachings of Christianity. The test of a true religion, however, has nothing to do with a holy book, or how Old or New are its Testaments. It has nothing to do with prayer rally part 1, 2, and 3. It has nothing to do with bombastic preaching delivered by real estate brokers devouring financial offerings from blind and ignorant Jesus followers. It has nothing to do with a pie in the sky or an ally in the sky. On the contrary, a true religion should generate human love and compassion in the here and now that binds the human family together in this precious life. Indeed, a true religion does not inspire stupidity or insecurity; neither does it encourage running away from the problems of human society. A true religion knows full well that the truth hurts, but knows even more that lies and deceptions are far more damaging and can last for a thousand years. As for me, an atheist, what have I to offer fellow-Filipinos in this biblically sick country of ours. Only one thing creative as it is constructive: I offer you the courage to take back what was stolen away from you during school days - the most priceless treasure in the world – your precious mind and precious hearts as Filipinos! In this way, we need no longer waste our time loving a foreign God up out there, and wasting even more time by hating one another down here! Indeed, our need to remedy the ills of our sick society is not only intellectual revolution, but the evolution of our precious minds and hearts to learn to become proud Filipinos. To be proud of our women. To be proud of our children. to be proud of our government. Indeed, to be proud of the one and only country we were all born into - the Philippines! The aim of Christian education in the Philippines has always been about the pursuit of learning for the "Greater Glory of God." Here, however, is how the bible describes God and the glory of his temper and his tantrum: "I will sweep away everything in all your land," says the LORD. "I will sweep away both people and animals alike. Even the birds of the air and the fish in the sea will die. I will reduce the wicked to heaps of rubble, along with the rest of humanity," says the LORD. "I will crush Judah and Jerusalem with my fist and destroy every last trace of their Baal worship. I will put an end to all the idolatrous priests, so that even the memory of them will disappear. For they go up to their roofs and bow to the sun, moon, and stars. They claim to follow the LORD, but then they worship Molech, too. So now I will destroy them! And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the LORD's guidance or seek my blessings." (Zephaniah 1:2-6) Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines - Christianity is tearing itself apart externally as it is collapsing internally. Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines, priestly authority and priestly respect exist no more or have been sensibly diminished. Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines, the superstructure of ecclesiastical privilege is tottering. Its fall is inevitable as its foundation has largely been based upon sacred lies and holy deceptions. It is time to educate ourselves to establish right here on our land a sane and a healthy society. It is time we promote in our country nothing but the beauty of common Filipino decency. It is also time to read properly and thoroughly the bible. In this way, as we begin to learn and understand just exactly how destructive bible messages have been and still are - we can begin to rock the Christian boat and courageously sink it. Poch Suzara

So-called Educated Pinoys and Pinays

To go against the dominant standard of thinking of friends, associates, relatives,
or most of the people you see daily is not only a sign of spiritual growth but also
a show of intellectual development.

In the meantime, millions of our youth in schools, colleges, and universities have their minds twisted and hearts distorted by being frightened to believe in a lot of religious nonsense. So much so that these millions of so-called "educated" Pinoys and Pinays are among the first to readily give credence to the fantastic promises made on Television by Bro. Mike Velarde of el Shaddai, Bro. Eli Soriano of Datning Daan, Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement, the evangelists of Iglesia Ni Cristo daily on TV, the religious morons behind the 700 Club of the Philippines. Not to mention the Catholic bishops virtually running the show in Congress endlessly deliberating on the HR Bill. Poch Suzara

Two Separate Laws in the Philippines

There are two separate laws in the Philippines: the law of God and the law of man. Filipino lawyers believe that the law of man should be under the law of God. And to think that these brilliant lawyers have been highly trained in law school to be experts in the art of cross examination.

In the meantime, the power of prayer is a reality even among top lawyers in the Philippines. Inside Law office - prominently displayed on top of law bookshelves
or shinning on art tables are the statues of baby Jesus, Mama Mary, Crucified Christ, Mama Mary carrying Baby Jesus. Not to mention photo of Jose Rizal with a scapular around his neck and a holy rosary around his wrists.

Well, I say, let's be more specific: In the Philippines, Filipino lawyers are the Sick lawyers of Asia! Instead of defending our growth as a people and development as a nation enjoying love, beauty, knowledge and the joys in life, they would rather defend, for money, or for the glory of a divinity - corruption, lies, and deceptions so prevalent in our sick country. Poch Suzara

On the Future

Of the many horrors transpiring daily in our schools, colleges, and universities the most harmful is the teaching that the future is something that happens to us, not something that we can create.

Imagine how much more powerful education could be if we are daily told in class that the life we conceive as a people is the life we can achieve as a nation.

God has absolutely nothing to do with it. To begin with God is never omni-present. God is only always omni-absent. Poch Suzara

Trees Created by God

The billions of trees created by God on this earth are still existing today. All sorts of trees – big and small, tall and short, colorful and colorless, fruitful and fruitless. Unfortunately, according to Genesis, in the Garden of Eden, God planted only one kind of tree called the “Tree of Knowledge.” Before any one, however, could partake of its power, to acquire knowledge and wisdom from that tree, indeed to develop the human mind and to cultivate the human heart – for no reason at all - the tree vanished into thin air. No such tree exists anywhere on this earth. Imagine if the tree of Knowledge was uprooted and transplanted via Noah's Ark to the Philippines to teach the Filipino growth with knowledge as a people and development with wisdom as a nation. We would have no need of stupid theologians and no need of stupid politicians to keep us spiritually fucked as a people and to keep us morally fucked as a nation. At any rate, such is the Wisdom of God according to the sick primitives more known as the inspired authors of God in the bible. Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Google#

Miss Universe Contest

It is really all about the same old recycled garbage. Thanks to our system of education, we Filipinos continue to get excited over the contest of beauty queens
of the losers and the failures.

Via our schools, colleges, and universities we have yet to learn how to get equally excited over the development of the beauty of our own natural resources - the most beautiful and most powerful of which is the Filipino brain. Poch Suzara

The tree of Knowledge

According to the bible, Satan wanted us to eat from the tree of knowledge, but God wanted us to stay Ignorant?

For my part, I ask: How did it matter either way? Forget God. Forget Satan. The intelligent question to ask, however, is where, in fact, is that tree of knowledge located to be found on this earth today? For Christ's sake, even the Catholic theologians haven't the foggiest where in hell is that tree existing! Poch Suzara

Is there Hope for the Philippines

Let us look at ourselves as Filipinos not as the masters of intelligent education, but only as the victims of malevolent indoctrination. Year in and year out millions of us Filipinos are on the same rudderless boat together. Our officials in the government just as directionless. They keep our country poor and backward. Especially to please the Catholic church - the owner of schools, colleges, and universities. Indeed, the religious enemy that sees to it that we must never learn to build tools that will help us build our minds as a people and hearts as a nation able to explore our own natural resources, especially the most powerful of natural resources - the human brain - the only way our country could achieve a higher standard of living via a higher standard of thinking. Is there is hope for the Philippines to extricate itself out of its historical quagmire? Yes, there is. It must first defeat its greatest enemy simply known as "Christianity" in general, the "Catholic church" in particular. Via ownership of schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines, they are places where we Filipinos learn to believe that life after death is far more precious than life after birth. Indeed, that there is a better world to come later. That the only things of true value are those found in the heavenly world of God. That our world, this world of Filipinos and nature and the flesh should be seen as low, depraved and worthless. Therefore of little importance to those of us with more faith in God. That this natural world is but a stopover on our journey to the next world. Therefore, the less attention placed on it and the more attention placed on God's kingdom - we can all look forward to our eternal salvation. In the meantime, the Catholic Vatican bank on this earth is far richer than the US Federal Reserve bank of America. I said it before, I say it again: With love in our hearts for this life, in this world, our world, let us stand on our own two feet, accept responsibility for our actions, and solve our own problems without needlessly confusing the issues with meaningless words, or with destructive Catholic teachings such as "love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of God is not in him." 1John 2:25 I am an atheist and listen to my atheist teacher - Bertrand Russell: "What the world needs now is not only love, but also the greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all it complexity." Indeed, "The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge." Poch Suzara

Painful Truth

Dear Consuelo, As a matter of historical fact, the painful truth is that our schools, colleges, and universities are still pretty much in the business of lies and deceptions. Such horror is keeping us Filipinos poor as a people and backward as a nation. Look how millions of our college-educated men and women are eager and prepared to migrate and be "employees" in foreign countries. More than 18,000,000 (million) Filipinos are now living and working in some 168 countries around the world. They are there in foreign countries enjoying not only a higher standard of living, but also a higher standard of thinking. A lot of them branded as "undocumented aliens" in such countries. But these overseas Filipinos are able to remit an average of some $10 Billion dollars yearly to keep afloat the Philippine economy. In the meantime, our government officials continue only to declare to the world that the Philippines is open for business to foreign investors! Indeed, open to take advantage of the business of corruption in our country. Whatever happened to the power of thought as basic in any system of education? Indeed, why is stupid believing far more important in our country than intelligent thinking? And why is faith in life after death far more precious than faith in life after birth in our country. When Catholicism arrived in our land in the 16th century, it had its bible. We had the land. Today, in the 21st century, we Filipinos have the bible, while Catholicism owns not only our land, but also is the owner of some 1,000 schools, colleges, and universities established throughout the Philippines. Oh Consuelo - as a product of La Salle education myself, I refuse to believe that we Filipinos need six years of grade school, four years of high school, and another four more years of college just to be able to learn how to pray and to love God up there while we are also being taught to hate one another down here! So much so that we even learned to hate to work for the growth and development of our own country - the country of our birth. Poch Suzara

Read Your Multiplication Table

Have any of you ever heard of the different versions of the MULTIPLICATION TABLE sold in bookstore? Indeed, the MULTIPLICATION TABLE is the perfect model of truth. It is precise, certain, and free from contradictions, inconsistencies, and absurdities.

In the meantime, there are some 57 different versions of the holy bible sold in bookstores today.

Well, think of it: The MULTIPLICATION TABLE was never formulated by inspired authors of God. So how come God could not inspire his bible authors to be just as precise, if not just as consistent and rational as the truthful authors of the MULTIPLICATION TABLE? Poch Suzara

Praying

Sept. 9,2011 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sirs: After 4 centuries of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly prayers to God to "give us this day our daily bread," and to "lead us not into temptation," and prayers to Mary, Mother of God, to "pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death," how come the results have been nothing but only for us to keep on praying for more of the same old nothing? Praying is like rocking a chair. It inspires us to do something. But how come prayers have not, as yet, gotten us anywhere? We remain directionless as a people and rudderless as a nation? Indeed, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are only getting more famous as the Sick Man of Asia! In the meantime, when you talk to God or to Mary, the Mother of God it is called "praying." When God, or Mary, the Mother of God talks to you God talks to us, it is known as "hallucinating?" Poch Suzara

Jesus was also Born-again

It must be nice to be Born-again. But have you people tried GROWING UP first? Believe me, it is useful, applicable, and more to do with dignity and self-respect. Look at Jesus, He too was Born-again.

Jesus in our Insane World

We live in such an insane world that God had to offer his only begotten son to write not a sane book but only to get Himself crucified on a piece of wood. This, in order to straighten the mess out of our insane world. Well, that was more than 2,000 years ago and our world, especially in this only JESUS IS LOVE AND LOVE IS JESUS country in all of Asia has actually been getting more insane as ever, if not worst! But there is more to this fantastic "I SHALL RETURN" biblical promise: Millions of Pinoys and Pinays with college education from such Catholic universities like La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, Letran, UST, Assumption college, Miriam college, AIM, and also the University of the Philippines are all waiting for the arrival of Jesus to establish peace and prosperity in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Catholicism, Capitalism, and Criminalism

Catholicism and Capitalism survived profitably together during these past centuries not because either have been successful in selling the truth; on the contrary, both have been dealing with nothing but lies, deceptions, and indeed, corruption. The
victims of Catholicism are called the "faithful" "obedient" or "devout." The victims of Capitalism are called the "customers" "clients" "employees" or "laborers."

Countries victimized by Catholicism or by Capitalism or by both remain poor and backward. Look at the Philippines. Still stuck as a nation not only with
Catholicism, not only with Capitalism, but also with criminalism.

We are even proud to address our rich and powerful criminals in the government as "Your Honor." Those rich and powerful criminals behind the Church, we address them as "Your Holiness."

Indeed, life in general in the Philippines can be characterized as the competition to be the criminal or be the victim of the criminals. This, while daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - we all feel blessed by God. Poch Suzara

The Bible - Throw it Out the Window

You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, dead people raised back to life, and all sorts of magical, absurd, and primitive stories, and you are asking me to explain why there is something wrong with me as I say that the bible is a book that is best thrown out the window?

Sir, to label atheism as a psychological problem is a feeble, indeed, a laughable attempt to evade the real issue of truth versus falsehoods. Are your beliefs true?

Your dismal attempts to defeat my atheism by evading the power of thought reveals only one shameless thing: your contempt for man's ability to think! Poch Suzara

Stupidity same as Infinity

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." Albert Einstein If I may add, isn't it sad that our schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines, for the most part, have been mostly about how to learn to have faith in human stupidity; specially for the sake of embracing, protecting, and defending Christianity otherwise more mysteriously known as the Holy Trinity.

The Religious Morons

The religious morons cannot afford to honest with themselves. In fact, they can only afford to ignore the truth that an atheist like me is more familiar, more conversant, more at ease with the holy bible - their book. In the meantime, the religious morons are just reliable at parroting their teachers in school, if not parroting their silly Jewish savior as to what is anything childish, mindless or thoughtless.

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly.

Jose Rizal's Enemies

What kind of men needed to see Rizal dead, discarded and forgotten? Were they men of reason, logic, science or philosophy? Were they avid readers, critical thinkers, or scientific investigators? Were they men at home with civilized humanity? No! On the contrary, Rizal’s enemies were the friends of blind faith: - the superstitious primitives, the sanctimonious hypocrites, and those indeed who were selfish, greedy, corrupt, stupid, and insane. Rizal’s enemies of a hundred years ago, are still the same enemies we have today. They are the ones insisting that it makes no difference whether Rizal retracted from his religious, political and philosophical principles or not. After all, they claim, that in the end, Rizal retracted and died not as a heretic, but as a penitent Catholic. What an infantile conclusion to bestow upon the greatest of Filipino thinkers who died for the freedom of the Filipino minds and hearts, and indeed, died for the liberation of our brutally Christianized country. Shame, shame, shame on you - the gutless, the thoughtless, the worthless! You who call yourselves “Knights of Rizal.” You who would not rise to defend the greatness of our national hero, but you would readily rise to defend first or to protect even up to the present the wealth, power, and glory of his insane enemies - the priest behind the Catholic Church. In the meantime, due to its teachings via schools, colleges, and universities the Catholic church still is in control of the Filipino minds and hearts. In this way, the greatest Filipino, Jose Rizal, is said to be a nothing compared to the bigger, taller, and wiser Savior known as the Jewish Son of God Jesus in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Births and Deaths in our World

How many deaths daily in the world? 160,000 deaths daily with about 360,000 new births daily to replace them. Which is why we have to end the population boom. It spells nothing but the stupidity of a global doom! Poch Suzara

Population boom means Global Doom

Jose Rizal, the enemy of Lies and Deceptions

Can you name me one Filipino as product of college education in any of our prestigious universities such as La Salle, Ateneo, AIM, Assumption college, University of the Santo Thomas, and so on - who has substantially contributed to the betterment of our society? Especially by exposing with intellectual guts the religious lies and political deceptions that is keeping us poor as a people and keeping us backward as a nation? In fact, who has exposed the religious lies and political deceptions that have historically kept us Filipinos famous as the Sick Man of Asia? I don't know about you guys and gals. I can only name you one great Filipino - Jose Rizal. To think that the power, wealth, and glory that had him executed is more, much more in power, wealth, and glory in our country today - the Catholic Church - the owners of Ateneo and UST where Jose Rizal had already began to question intellectually the sensibility of his Catholic education.

The Greatest Atheist of the Philippines

Poch:

I know of a person that would qualify AND THAT WOULD BE NO OTHER THAN POCH SUZARA. Let us ask your friend Mar P to get the ball rolling and he would work on your behalf since you have done so much for the cause of atheism. I will recommend that the award will be named as the Bertrand Russell Outstanding Atheism Award. We will ask Louie, the Alchemist to make you a nice gold medallion shaped like a pooch. It does not matter that you were expelled or did not graduate from a university or college. You are still the GREATEST ATHEIST that ever lived! Congratulations!

All the best,

Jesus - the Jewish Savior of all Filipinos

What school did your Savior Jesus Christ attended to or enrolled at? Which among the 12 apostles of Jesus acquired college degree. And how come you believe that such a non-schooled Jewish fellow born of non-schooled Jewish parents in a poor and backward land is not only your Savior, is not only the Savior of all Filipinos, but also the Savior of all mankind?

Now my dear, as a high school expelled thinking student, I do not as I cannot claim to save your silly soul. But the least I could try to do is to save your mind and heart. After all, we are all born ignorant, not frightened. We are made frightened by acquiring Catholic education in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Time to Sell the University of the Philippines

For: Mar Patalinjug
New York, New York,

Dear Mar,
TIME TO SELL THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

May I suggest something even more drastic? If we Filipinos truly desire to enjoy self-respect as a people and dignity as a nation, not only the University of the Philippines, but more so the more than one thousand (1,000) schools, colleges and universities all be dismantled and abolished out of our Asian landscape.

But how this be possible, since the Catholic Church already owns most of what comprises the Philippines - most of its natural resources, prime land, agricultural farms, banks, hospitals, TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, etc. Not to mention also in control of the Philippine government as how stuck it should remain; especially when it comes to moral, legal, and economic direction for the Philippines as a nation. Look at our government politicians: they are all amenable to the Catholic bishops - the power behind the Catholic church as its powerful theologians!

Millions of us Filipinos are "educated" yearly to believe that this life is no good; but that there is, however, a better life to come only after death. Indeed, as the holy bible states: "Love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man (any Pinoy) love the world, (the Philippines) the love of the Father (the Pope) is not in him." 1 John 2:15.

Is it really that complicated to see how and why we Filipinos only love the Catholic divinity up there while; we have no common sense together to generate common Filipino decency in our own country down here?

In the meantime, the richest bank in the world, far richer than the United States Federal Reserve Bank is the VATICAN BANK OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Oh yes, I repeat: The Catholic church has always had a vested interests in Filipino misery. Christian doctrines do not make sense unless viewed in this context.

Indeed, the spectacular success of the Catholic church in the Philippines, more than any other religion, have and still do capitalize on Filipino suffering; and it was enormously successful in insuring its own existence through the perpetuation of misery and suffering as a way of Filipino life in general in the Philippines. Of course, in Catholic schools, colleges, and Catholic universities, we were never taught how to be miserable or how to suffer. On the contrary, we were, instead, taught to SACRIFICE in this life so that benefits may be rewarded in the life to come after death with God in heaven. We must only invest, so to speak, in this life, and collect interest in the next world with God in His Kingdom. Profitably for the Catholic Church, the billions of Filipino who, down through the centuries, already died cannot resurrect to demand for a refund. Poch Suzara

On Barbara C. Gonzales

. . . I realized late in my life that the Catholic Church in the Philippines ordered Jose Rizal executed and never once apologized for it. I think they should apologize for theircruel misdeed. But they never have. Anyway, to me, all religions are man-made, a way for man to discipline himself without taking responsibility, actually, an escape from responsibility. I think I am now, if I have to be anything at all, what other people call a freethinker. I think therefore I am and take full responsibility for myself." Barbara C. Gonzales wrote in her column in the Philippine Star today, Aug. 27, 2011

Well, I must say I am so proud of you Barbara. You are a courageous woman. A thinking Filipina. A rarity among women of the Philippines. As you are a distant relative of Jose Rizal, I must also add, if only more and more women of the Philippines possessed your intellectual courage - we Filipinos need no longer be famous as the Sick Man of Asia.

I said it before, I say it again: In this already 21st century, it is time for us Filipinos to be more and more "Rizalistic" as a people by being less and less of a "Catholic" as a country of Asia since we have been in the 16th century. Indeed, it is time for us Filipinos to catch up with rest of the Asian countries growing and developing. They are substantiating the ideas and ideals of our own Jose Rizal publicly executed by the Catholic Church in the Philippines more than a century ago. Poch Suzara, Freethinker

Old Age in this world

Old age, like any other age, is the time to struggle for human decency. Bertrand Russell

I agree entirely. In the Philippines, however, old age, like my age, is the time
to struggle against garbage and trash. It is more known as the garbage behind political corruption; and, the trash behind biblical revelation. Poch Suzara

Evils in Our World

The troubles in our world begin with the troubles within the human family as it has always been troubled since God knows when. Indeed, due to children born as products not of love, but sex. This is on the ticklish side.

On the bullshit side, the troubles in our world have little to do with good fighting evil. It has more to do with evil fighting evil; especially for the greater glory of God in heaven always in cahoots for the greater glory of the devil in hell. Poch Suzara

Catholicism Against Civilization

If the Catholic church have built Western civilization - how come the same Catholic church has never been able to built civilization in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since almost four hundred years ago?

We Filipinos have been civilized by the Catholic Church? No kidding? How come under Catholic teachings we Filipinos still do not know how to love one another as a people; nor do we know how to develop ourselves as a nation. We only know how to love God up there by hating one another down here? We only know how to go to heaven after death and to hell with life on this earth after birth! As a matter of historical fact, Catholicism has always been against civilization in the Philippines.

In the meantime, if we have the knowledge to move mountain, then surely we have no need of faith to move mountain. Since the 16h century however - the Catholic church is still teaching us Filipinos to believe that only faith can move mountain!

Well, we are already in the 21st century. So how come we Filipinos are still dominated and ruled by the mountain of corruption as inspired by the teachings of Catholicism in this only poor and backward Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century? Poch Suzara

What If God is a Supernatural Moron

If triangle could speak, it would say, that God is eminently triangular. While if a circle could speak, it would say that the divine nature of God is eminently circular.

Well, you morons can speak, and therefore your God is eminently moronic. Who else but a moron, in your case a supernatural moron, who must first see you all DEAD before you are to be rewarded in a moronic heaven, or to be punished in a moronic hell over absolutely NOTHING? Poch Suzara

Religion and Politics

The subject of religion is based mostly on fear and ignorance. The subject of politics is based mostly on a lot of silly promises. That is why, in social gatherings, we are told that it is in good taste not to talk about religion or politics. Well, I ask: If this were true, how come the subject of religion and politics are important subjects taught in schools, colleges, and universities - not as evil monsters, but as sacred values and holy beliefs behind our sick way of life in our poor and backward country? Poch Suzara

Atheists as Victims of Organized Religions

From the greatest, the brightest, and the most admirable woman I have ever met:

"I'll tell you what you did with unbelievers for about 1500 years. You outlawed them from the universities, or any teaching careers, besmirched their reputations, banned or burned their books or their writings of any kind, drove them into exile, humiliated them, seized their properties, arrested them for blasphemy. You dehumanized them with beatings and exquisite torture, gouged out their eyes, slit their tongues, stretched, crushed, or broke their limbs, tore off their breasts if they were a woman, crushed their scrotums if they were men, imprisoned them, stabbed them, disemboweled them, hung them, burnt them alive. And you have the nerve enough to complain to me that I laugh at you." Dr. Madalyn Murray O'Hair, Founder "American Atheists, Inc." Poch Suzara, member, 1982-1986

The Power in Blind Faith

No doubt, there is the power in blind faith. It comes from the power of blind ignorance. We may not have learned to value the power of bright thought in our schools, colleges, and universities. But we have certainly been taught to have faith in our blind faith. Thus, our blind faith in religious lies, political deceptions as a people; and, never-ending sins, crimes, and corruption as a nation! Poch Suzara

Faith and Mountain

If you already have the knowledge on how to move mountain, what's the purpose of holding on to your faith that can move mountain? In the first place, faith has yet to explain why a mountain need to be to moved! Poch Suzara

Health with Fr. Fernando Suarez

Landmark will have a healing mass with the celebrant Fr. Fernando Suarez on August 20, 2011 at the Glorieta Activity Center, Ayala Center, Makati City. It is sad to see Fr. Fernando Suarez still pretending that God has given him the power to heal the sick. Moreover, he promises that the bigger your donation the sooner will he be able to apply his healing process. A lot of dumbstruck bobos believe this religious moron.

Is it really true that health is the greatest of wealth? But how can that be since the existence of health is hardly a reality? My dear reader, let's face it. The day
we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. So how can health be the greatest of wealth? In the ultimate analysis, however, we are all fucked. There is no such thing as health or wealth except perhaps in the here and now - the health and wealth of the human mind to accept reality with courage: that nothing in this world is permanent. Everything existing is simply temporary.

Ah, perhaps I am wrong. After all, there is something in this world more everlasting than eternity. It is known as "human stupidity." It is what our system of education has been all about since God knows when. Poch Suzara

If Religion were True and Beneficial

If religion were true and beneficial, and that there is life after death, then the subject of religion should be taught to us after death, and not after birth. After all, life is so brief, so short and fleeting, indeed not lasting. Death with God in heaven or with the devil in hell is more everlasting. Poch Suzara

Why Something Rather than Nothing

We are asked why in this universe there is something rather than nothing? Well, if God, in His own image and likeness, created everything out of nothing, then God must be a nothing too. Poch Suzara

There are No Atheists

I am told that there are no atheists in a sinking ship. That there are no atheists in an airliner out of control crashing. Well, there are also no atheists in the United States government. So how come the United States of America is sinking as a nation and crashing down the military road as a world power? These horrors are happening to us while we Americans, as a people, continue to sing "God Bless America." Poch Suzara

Fuck that Holy Death Shit

I would rather be a disgrace to divine grace than be a disgrace to the human race. After all, what meaning has life on this earth if we do struggle for the establishment of common human decency, nay for own dignity and self-respect as human beings? In the meantime, if death should turn out to be something more precious than life on this earth, then I say: "Fuck that holy death shit." Poch Suzara

On My Kind of Death

I know nothing of life after death. In fact, nobody but nobody has any idea of what's life, if any, all about after death. What I do know, however, is that after I die, my remains will be cremated and my ashes thrown away in a rain forest. Or if I die in a sinking ship, I will end up dead like a dead fish in the ocean. Or, if I die in an airliner out of control crashing into a mountain, I will be blown up into bits reduced into cinders. Whatever the case may be, I said it before, I say it again: Fuck death.

Stupid men

When a woman finds herself no longer desirable to intelligent men, she turns to religion.
Poor woman, it has never dawn on her that it is precisely stupid religion that makes men stupid. Poch Suzara

Freedom is not Free

Freedom is not free. It has a cost. In most third world countries, like the Philippines, the cost of freedom is more known as "American Interests." It is what we Filipinos contribute to the American economic freedom for protecting and defending our so-called "freedom." Poch Suzara

The Business of War

War is mostly about young men dying in the field of battle for the sake of human stupidity. While the old men are sitting comfortably behind the military industry making tons of money; especially for the glory of a heavenly divinity. In war, nothing is solved or settled except the preparation for future wars. Next to the business of religion in the fear business, war is highly profitable for the munition makers business.

Sacred Truths

The SACRED TRUTH IN SCIENCE IS THAT THERE ARE NO SACRED TRUTHS. Carl Sagan

In religion, however, the REVEALED TRUTH has yet to be REVEALED. As to when
exactly or how precisely it will be REVEALED, who the fuck knows? Poch Suzara

Buddhism and Science

"Doubt everything. Find your own light." "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” Buddha (623 -543 B.C.E.) Indian spiritual teacher For my part, as an atheist, I love, respect, and admire Buddha. He cared for world sanity. He was always on the side of humanity. He cared for all life on this earth. His way of thinking had nothing to do with being bothered with a silly divinity out there; or by being frightened of a stupid deviltry existing everywhere. I have every hope, if science and religion will reconcile one day, science will reconcile only with Buddhism. Poch Suzara

God, Faith, and Silly Religion

The Catholic church used to win their arguments by putting to death the atheists, agnostics, heretics, and thinkers like our own Jose Rizal in the Philippines. The survival of religion depended not upon the existence of a wonderful God, but precisely also the existence of the despicable devil. In the meantime, I say it before, I say it again, if God existed and He cared for the existence of humankind, He never would have gifted us human with faith, especially to have faith in religion. Faith is worthless. Belief in a stupid religion is even more worthless. In the ultimate analysis, freedom FROM religion is always better, always more sane, than the silly freedom OF religion! After all, not life after birth, but only life after death has more to do with religion and therefore what the fuck is there anything to worry about after we are all dead! Poch Suzara

God and the Devil

An atheist does not believe in the existence of God. An atheist does not believe as well in the existence of the devil. Why not? After all, both supernatural beings are one and the same fictitious characters. Both are always in cahoots with each other. Both were created by frightened, if not dumbstruck religious morons - otherwise more known as the "inspired authors" of the silly holy bible. For my part, I always enjoyed reading the silly holy bible. It gave birth, growth, and maturity to my being a proud and a happy atheist. Poch Suzara

Life and Death as a Disease

Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent." - R. D. Laing Isn't it glaringly obvious, if not alarmingly transparent, that in the business of propagating the human species and replenishing the earth, fathers, especially mothers have never been the masters, but precisely the victims of sexual activities? In the meantime, there is no cure for the disease called "life." There is even no cure for the disease called "death." Oh well, whichever. We might as well enjoy the sick journey. After all, we all equally share a common doom together - our sick destination into the unknown. In the meantime, those who desire "immortality" have yet to face the fact that they desire nothing more than the eternity of stupidity; especially as again it will be inspired by the same old silly divinity always in cahoots with the same old silly deviltry. Poch Suzara

Imagination

Imagination is far more precious than intelligence; especially when it visualizes liberty as far more servicial than divinity. Poch Suzara

Insanity and Genuis

The distance between insanity and genius is measured by success. The struggle for success, however, pretty much characterizes the failures of a sick society with sick values and sick beliefs. Poch Suzara

Fear of Death

I have no fear of death whatsoever. I already experienced death millions of years before I was born. I am now approaching the end of my life on this earth. I thank God I am sill an atheist. As an atheist I have no buried hatred against religion. I am on top of it openly and publicly and fearlessly.

Things being equal, however, I love common sense, common honesty, common human decency, and especially the search of the truth. That is why I am happy and proud that I was never qualified to be a theologian defending the corrupt church or a politician protecting the corrupt government. Poch Suzara

Books on Fiction

In my personal library are books on science and philosophy, indeed, books on fiction. I also enjoy, however, reading and studying the greatest book on fiction of all time - the HOLY BIBLE.

Bertrand Russell concluded. I entirely agree with him: "All human knowledge is uncertain, inexact, and partial." Indeed, science is never dogmatic; it is never definite. Science is always tentative and subject to change with newer or better evidences.

Religion, however, has always been and still based upon the belief of nothing reduced to a theological system. Poch Suzara

Superstition of the Filipino Mind

The last superstition of the Filipino mind is the superstitious belief that CHRISTIANITY has plenty to do with making the Filipino the most prosperous and healthiest people; and, the Philippines, - the wealthiest, the sanest, the cleanest, and the strongest among all the nations in all of Asia today in this already 21st century. Poch Suzara

What is an Agnostic

An agnostic is an atheist who has lost his courage to speak up or has lost his guts to stand up for his intelligent doubts. Poch Suzara

Knowledge and Faith

Where knowledge, ends Faith begins. Sadly, faith is just another sacred word that hides human stupidity that makes us totally blind to see the historical horrors of
our sick society. Poch Suzara

Love of life in this world

I arrived into this world as a stranger. I should wish, however, to leave this world one day as a friend; especially on the side of humanity endlessly struggling against stupid free will of deviltry as gifted by a silly divinity. Poch Suzara

Destuctive Forces of Nature

Typhoon, earthquake, tsunami, tornado, flood, famine, pestilence, epidemic, etc, are destructive forces of nature. But the most destructive force in all of nature is human stupidity. Especially in the Philippines as inspired by the power of Christianity. In most of our schools, colleges, and universities - it is still being taught during our formative years that there is a better world to come after we are dead. Therefore the love of country here or the love of fellow-citizens now is not that important or precious as the love we must always have for Jesus - the Savior of the Filipinos.

For my part, as an atheist, I say it does not matter whether we believe in the existence of God or not. After all, since the 16th century, in all of our troubles as a people and our problems as a nation in this already 21st century God has never been omni-present. He is only always omni-absent. Poch Suzara

The Power of Fear

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Bertrand Russell I entirely agree. I would like to add, however, that sadly, in our schools, colleges, and universities, we were taught to believe not in the power of thinking but to have faith only in the power of believing. It is otherwise more known as "free will." Especially to obey God's Will whom we pray to daily to lead us not into temptation. And also that we may pray to Mary, Mother of God, to "pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen." In the meantime, I ask: when both God and his Mother Mary endlessly praying to each other, they are out to accomplish WHAT? Poch Suzara

What If I am Wrong as an Atheist

I was born an atheist. I shall die an atheist. Now what if it turns out that I am wrong? What if God does exists. Well, I have no objection, no qualms about it, whatsoever.

My problem would be if God turns out to be a Catholic, or Christian, or a Jew, a Muslim, or a Hindu, or a Tao, or what have you. I will never believe or have faith in such a mindless, heartless, and indeed - a good for nothing God - a worthless supernatural being.

Never, I will I ever love, worship, and adore a God created by men in their own silly image and silly likeness. All the great men and decent women I have met in world history never bothered to create such a silly monster called "God." Poch Suzara

Public Office, Teachers, and Professors

Public office is the last refuge of the incompetent. Teachers in school, professors in college are those who have been intellectually crippled. They are no longer able to learn any deeper or higher. All, however, are the corrupt result of the corrupt system of education in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Life and Death

"I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young, and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is none the less true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting." So wrote Bertrand Russell. As for me, I accept the fact that, right after birth, I began to live in a dying body, and that I am now at the end of my life - short, and brief, and fleeting as life is. I should wish, however, to die without fear. Indeed, those who fear death, fear life. Well, never, should we ever ignore the fact that we only live once; but if we live freely, nobly, fearlessly, and thoughtfully - once is more than enough. In the meantime, a God who creates humans only to live briefly and then perish quickly is a God not worth believing nor respecting. Poch Suzara

Confucius and My School Mates

Ordinary minds talk about people. Average minds talk about events. Great minds talk about ideas. Confucius... I entirely agree. And I feel sad each time I meet my former classmates or schoolmates. They went on to acquire college degrees after I was expelled out of La Salle high school. This was some 60 years ago. Though I managed to enroll in the greatest of all universities - it is but a collection of books. I am happily still enrolled in that university today... Each time, however, I see my former classmates in public or meet them in a private gathering - they prove to me that they are more at ease and comfortable if we only easily talk about people and events... They feel rather sinful if not threatened when I try to talk to them about the power of ideas! Poch Suzara

Truth as a Bigger Crap

Richard Belzer defines The Big Lie, in his book UFOs, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies You Don't Have To Be Crazy To Believe, this way: "If you tell a lie that's big enough, and you tell it often enough, people will believe you are telling the truth, even when what you are saying is total crap."

I entirely agree. If, however, we are repeatedly told the truth a thousand times, it becomes a bigger crap. In the first place, the truth does not exist. We are still searching for the truth. It is endless. The search of the truth, however, is man's most noble of profession. Poch Suzara

Christianity in the Philippines

Christianity in the Philippines, since the 16th century, has exactly been like the Manila Cathedral in this already 21st century. Nothing but a monument to human stupidity.

Indeed, thanks to Christianity, we Filipinos have been taught nothing but to be afraid; especially of darkness - moral or physical. Fear has been at the foundation
of our way of life. We have been taught to believe that we will lack something if we have nothing to fear. Indeed, we fear nothing more than having nothing to fear.

Via its thousands of schools, colleges, and universities - Christianity has successfully troubled the Filipino minds and hearts. That is why we Filipinos would readily believe everything and examine nothing. Poch Suzara

The Simple versus the Complex

Intelligent individuals can often simplify the complex. The frightened religious moron is more likely to complexify the simple. It is, in this way, that the frightened religious moron often has the excuse to understand nothing, but be gullible enough to believe everything. Poch

Dark Ages in the Philippines

There was a time when every single man, woman, and child in this wide world believed, loved, and had total faith God. Historians refer to it as the DARK AGES. It lasted for 1,000 years - from the 5th to the 15th century. Notice, however, how the DARK AGES still shines very brightly in the Philippines! The only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Indeed, today, in this already 21st century, every Pinoy and Pinay, especially as they are the products of schools, colleges, and universities - have all been frightened to believe that for all that is wrong with the Filipino as a people; and, for all that is wrong with the Philippines as a nation - we must never blame divinity or deviltry or Christianity. We must only blame our misguided Free Will and that if there is anything utterly worthless in this world - it is the struggle for self-respect as a people, and to earn dignity as a nation - especially in the here and now terrestrially. Indeed, that there is only that better life to come after death in a better world with God in heaven! Thus, in the Philippines, as the Sick Man of Asia, we still live in the Dark Ages. To think that among the Sick Man of Asia are the college-educated Pinoys and Pinays, with PhDs to boot, so happy and proud of the fact that 99 per cent of the population of the Philippines still believe, love, and worship the same old God so famous during the Dark Ages.

I love and Repect Animals

"I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained; I stand and look at them long and long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition; They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God; Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things; Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago; Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth." Walt Whitman

For my part, I love and respect animals on land and in the sea - they have no army or navy or Air Force to go to war against each other for truth, justice, democracy, and the animal way of life. Poch Suzara

The Criminal versus the Insane

If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament he would be a criminal. If he would strictly follow the teachings of the New, he would be insane. Robert G. Ingersoll... This is right on target. And if I may add, in the schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated by the Catholic church - we Filipinos have been and still are being frightened to believe and to follow the teachings of the holy bible. That is why, life in general in this poor and backward country of ours - we must compete to be the criminal or we end up to be the victim of the criminals; especially as we also have been educated to believe that God loves the Filipinos and loves the Philippines even more being the only Christian country in Asia since 500 years ago! Poch Suzara

I love and respect Atheism

Atheism is not something dreadful or insane, but precisely delightful and sane. After all, if God wanted us to believe in him from birth to death He would see to it that as we are born - coming out of mother's womb - not crying, but rather singing the Ave maria or praying the holy rosary, or even shouting "God Blessed America," not to mention already circumcised as circumcision as with Abraham was having a covenant with God. But then again, if God wanted us to believe in his existence, he should have already made mom's egg and Dad's sperm even before it met each other already baptized as Catholics. Poch Suzara

You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one If I may add, imagine during our formative years in school we learn more, much more about the beauty of having intelligent imagination than there is to having faith in stupid indoctrination!

My New Book

My new book - THE FAILURE OF EDUCATION UNDER THE SUCCESS OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE PHILIPPINES will soon to be published overseas. I have hopes of giving free copies
for our congressmen, senators, directors of the Department of Education, major newspaper editors; and, indeed, to De La Salle University professors.

Here are 238 pages of photos - evidences that prove our failure as a people and our failure as a nation under the traditional success of Christian values and beliefs in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara

CORRUPTION BY EDUCATION

We rave about corruption here and there and everywhere in our sick society. Corruption in government and private industries. Corruption in the military and in the priesthood industry. We hardly notice, however, where the seeds of corruption come from. It comes from our schools, colleges, and universities where they teach corrupt values and corrupt beliefs. We are, indeed, the products of a corrupt system of education. It’s the easiest thing to corrupt people. Take normal boys and girls during formative years in school and teach them to believe the following: . To believe that we are all guilty of sin until we have no more pride, dignity, and self-respect. . To believe that faith is always better than reason and that daily prayer is the daily solution to daily problems. . To believe that the saints of God are more worthy of emulation than to spread the ideals of human brotherhood. . To believe that it is needless to improve social conditions because there is a better life to come after death with God in heaven. . To believe that it is needless to save our minds and hearts for the kingdom of man as what is crucial is to save our souls for the next life in the kingdom of God. . To believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God. . To believe that the revealed truths need not be revealed as such truths are far beyond human understanding. . To believe that to love God’s mother up there is far more precious than to love our own mother and grandmothers down here. . To believe that God will always provide for those who are good, even if they were good for nothing. . To believe that pain, suffering, misery, poverty, and squalor are paths toward eternal happiness up there. Never mind the importance of the growth and maturity of our nation down here. . To believe that success in life can only be measured in terms of money. Never mind where the money comes from as long as we have plenty of it. . To believe finally, that no matter what sin or crime we commit, as long as we continue to believe and have faith, there will always be available from God at any time the forgiveness of sin and crime. Do this to millions of children in school and we have the ideal Christians. We also have criminals. A person who longer respects himself can no longer respect anything. One who does not love himself, cannot love anything. If he hates himself, he hates the world. It is in our system of education where we learn our sense of worthlessness and our unspeakable burden of sin; where the stage is set for corruption as a way of life. Indeed, the real cause of corruption in our sick society is not due to lack of discipline. On the contrary, it is discipline based upon sick values and sick beliefs. Owing to our system of education, we learned to have no faith in the best of the Filipino capacity to think. We do not love our country nor do we love fellow-Filipinos. We only love what makes for the Filipino incapacity especially as inspired by silly divinity always in cahoots with deviltry. We certainly live under a culture of corruption. The worst of it is the corruption of human intelligence. Corruption by education is certainly keeping the Filipino poor spiritually as a people and keeping the Philippines bankrupt morally as a nation. Poch Suzara

The Lies and Deceptions in the Bible

It is all so silly to be asked to: put your left hand on the bible and raise your right hand. repeat after me: Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? To begin with the bible has more to do with lies and deceptions than with truthful revelations. Listen to Thomas Paine and to Robert G. Ingersoll - two of the greatest American thinkers who properly read and thoroughly studied bible messages. Here below is what they discovered: "Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel." [Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason) "Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself." "There are many millions of people who believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God -- millions who think that this book is staff and guide, counselor and consoler; that it fills the present with peace and the future with hope -- millions who believe that it is the fountain of law, Justice and mercy, and that to its wise and benign teachings the world is indebted for its liberty, wealth and civilization -- millions who imagine that this book is a revelation from the wisdom and love of God to the brain and heart of man -- millions who regard this book as a torch that conquers the darkness of death, and pours its radiance on another world -- a world without a tear." "They forget its ignorance and savagery, its hatred of liberty, its religious persecution; they remember heaven, but they forget the dungeon of eternal pain. They forget that it imprisons the brain and corrupts the heart. They forget that it is the enemy of intellectual freedom. Liberty is my religion. Liberty of hand and brain -- of thought and labor, liberty is a word hated by kings -- loathed by popes. It is a word that shatters thrones and altars -- that leaves the crowned without subjects, and the outstretched hand of superstition without alms. Liberty is the blossom and fruit of justice -- the perfume of mercy. Liberty is the seed and soil, the air and light, the dew and rain of progress, love and joy." - Robert G. Ingersoll "Properly read the bible is the most potent force for atheism invented by Man." Isaac Asimov

The First Cause Argument

The problem with the First Cause Argument lies in its assumption that an almighty creator exists, something that it is trying to prove. This is known as begging the question. Even a child can ask, “If God created the universe, then who created God?” If the answer is that God is uncaused, then the same answer could certainly be applied to the existence of the universe — that it is uncaused. Besides, which almighty creative god are we talking about? People using the First Cause Argument always make the assumption that their god did the creating. Catholics think God created the universe. Muslims think that Allah created the universe. Hindus think that Brahma did it. The Jews think that Yahweh did it. Most religions have a story of how their god created the universe. The idea of a god as creator of the universe makes for a fantastic tale, but it obviously tells us little about the characteristics of that god. What they are doing is explaining one mystery with a bigger mystery, and that is fallacious logic. Or, explaining the unknown by means of the unknowable. Thus, religion encourages stupidity, belittles one's sense for humanity, and inspires one to have faith in holy absurdity, eternally. Poch Suzara

The Great Religions of the World

All the 3 great religions of the world - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have had all the opportunity to straighten the mess out in this world, but how could they since the mess in this world is mostly about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam?

Indeed, religion encourages stupidity, belittles humanity, and contributes nothing of value in this world except the concept that we must all love a silly God up there by hating one another as silly people down here! Poch Suzara

The Insanity behind Silly Prayer

When doctors pray, they pray to God to make people sick, not healthy. It’s the only way to stay in the medical profession. When lawyers pray, they pray to God to make people commit more crimes. It’s the only way they can make a success of their legal career. When politicians pray, they pray to God to keep the voters stay as ignorant as ever. It’s the only way politicians get elected or re-elected.When priests pray, they pray to God to make the faithful commit more sins. It’s the only way they can make more money for the Vatican bank. When policemen pray, they pray to God for more lawlessness and disorder in society. It’s the only way they can keep their job. When fire-fighters pray, they pray to God for houses and buildings to catch fire. It’s the only way they can keep their job as firemen of the Fire Department. When prostitutes pray, they pray to God for more cheating husbands or for more horny customers. It’s the only they can continue to earn a living. When amputees pray, they pray to God to have back their amputated arms or legs restored. But the amputees, despite the power of prayer, are still without legs or arms. When the rich pray, they pray to God for more riches. When the poor pray, they pray to God to get them out of poverty. I used to pray a lot too. More than 65 years ago, I often prayed to God to destroy Satan so that I can become less of a sinner. God did not give a hoot. Satan, still alive, did not give a hoot and endlessly carried on his Satanism. So I was happily left alone to give a serious hoot to strengthen the root of my atheism. Poch Suzara
