The Real Atheists

There are one billion silly atheists in this world today. They are known as the "Christians" who do not believe in the existence of "Allah" the God of the Muslims.

There are also another kind of silly atheists in this world today. The 1 billion Muslims do not believe in the existence of the God of the Christians known as GOD.

As with me, I am the REAL kind of an atheist. I do not believe in the existence of ALLAH, the God of the Muslims. I also do not believe in the existence of the God of the Christian.

Life on this earth is so short, so brief, so fleeting, I find it utterly silly to believe in the existence of such silly GODS. Poch Suzara

All Great Religions

The great religions of the world have ALL been based on one great evil only: Loving a God up there for the sake of hating one another down here.

As for me, I thank all the great religions of the world, as much as I thank God, if any, responsible for the existence of such great but otherwise stupid religions that I WAS BORN AN ATHEIST AND I SHALL DIE AN ATHEIST. Poch Suzara

The Bible Declares:

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God." (2 Timothy 3:16)
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless...." (2 Samuel 22:31)
"And the words of the LORD are flawless...." (Psalm 12:6)
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless...." (Psalm 18:30)
"Every word of God is flawless...." (Proverbs 30:5)

For my part, I am happy and proud to also declare that I became an atheist because of the holy lies declared in the holy bible. Poch Suzara

The Power of Silly Prayer

Nov. 3, 2011
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Letter to the Editors
Dear Sirs:
To believe in the power of prayer is like believing that God up there will alter His Divine Plans formulated centuries ago to conform to our needs in this 21st century down here.

Again, saying prayers is equivalent to believing that the Philippines is governed by a Supreme Being who changes his mind if we Filipinos ask him in our prayer to do so.

Since Christianity arrived some 400 years ago - I have yet to see how exactly prayers have transformed our country into one of the most developed and advanced country of Asia? But here's what is even more ticklish: We are told that if we want to solve our problems as a people or solve our troubles as a nation - we must only pray. Now if nothing happens, we must only pray harder. And if nothing still happens, it is only because we do not know how to pray!

In the meantime, our children in school are taught how to pray. It is the best way to teach them how to seek fantasy solutions to real problems. But then again, if God were all-knowing, why should he be bothered with daily prayers? The encouragement of prayer promotes selfishness. People pray for that for which they have not labored or thought. Prayer also undermines the power of human intelligence. Prayer causes a weakening of self-reliance and a corresponding deterioration of character. In fact, daily prayers are among the most effective causes that keep us Filipinos poor spiritually, backward morally, impoverished economically, insane politically, not to mention empty historically.

The question I asked decades ago, I still am asking today: Is there hope for our country? Yes, with intelligent leaders? Never with stupid prayers! Poch Suzara

The Bible Thrown Out the Window

There is absolutely no information in the Bible that we can make any use of as we goes through life. The Bible is not a book of knowledge. It does not give instruction in any of the sciences. It furnishes no help to labor. It is useless as a political guide. There is nothing in it that gives the mechanic any hint, or affords the farmer any enlightenment in his occupation.

If a Filipino wishes to learn about the earth or the heavens; about life or the animal kingdom, he has no need to study the Bible. If he is desirous of reading the best poetry or the most entertaining literature he will not find it in the Bible. If he wants to read to store his mind with facts, the Bible is the last book for him to open, for never yet was a volume written that contained fewer facts than this book. If he is anxious to get some information that will help him earn an honest living he does not want to spend his time reading Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Kings, Psalms, or the Gospels. If he wants to read just for the fun of reading, to kill time, or to see how much nonsensical writing there is in one book, let him read the Bible.

I have said it before - there are not wise sayings in the Bible, or a few dramatic incidents, but there are just as wise sayings, and wiser ones, too, out of the book, and there are dramas of human life that surpass in interest anything contained in the Old or New Testament.

No person can make a decent excuse for reading the Bible more than once. To do such a thing would be a foolish waste of time. But my vehement objection to reading this book is, not that it contains nothing particularly good, but that it contains so much that is garbage for one's intellectual life. To read this book is to get false ideas, absurd ideas, bad ideas. The injury to the human mind that reads the Bible as a reliable book is beyond repair. I do not think that this book should be read by children, by any any Filipino less than twenty years of age, and it would be better for the Philippines if not a Pinoy or a Pinay read a line of it until he or she was fifty years old.

What I want to say is this, that there is nothing in the Bible that is of the least consequence to the people of this already 21st century. English literature is richer a thousand fold than this so- called sacred volume. We have books of more information and of more inspiration than the Bible. As the relic of a barbarous and superstitious people, it should have a place in our libraries, but it is not a work of any value to this age. I pity Filipinos who stand in pulpits and call this book the word of God. I wish they had brains enough to earn their living without having to repeat these lies and deceptions. The day will come when this book will be estimated for what it is worth, and when that day comes, the Bible will no longer be called the word of God, but the work of ignorant, superstitious men.

In the meantime, a great scientist/writer Isaac Asimov fearlessly
stated: "Properly read the bible is the most potent force for ATHEISM ever invented by man." Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and the Truth

So why not reject and discard your COMPUTER machine? Throw it out the window. Atheist Bertrand Russell was one of the FATHERS of the COMPUTER INDUSTRY. It is embarrassing, isn't it, when I criticize Jesus in his own silly bible, I know exactly what I am talking about. I quote to you evidences as written in the bible. With you followers of Jesus, all you can say about Bertrand Russell is that he was unhappily married 4 times. But you never are able to point out to me how Bertrand Russell as a mathematician, as a logician, and as a philosopher wrote books filled with inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, atrocities, lies, contradictions, and deceptions. If you study the writings of Bertrand Russell, you will realize that if had made mistakes, where he was wrong, he spoiled the fun by pointing out the errors himself. In spite of all the logical and philosophical advances for which Russell is responsible of, and in spite of all the dark places which he has made plain, one is tempted to say a greater thinker would be somebody finding fundamental fault in his work. In fact, any subsequent philosopher worth his salt has to begin where he left off because, simply, it is impossible to be satisfied with things as Russell has left them. Listen to what Bertrand Russell wrote: "Without the capacity for mental solitude, none of the supreme achievements of human genius would have been possible." For my part, as a student of Bertrand Russell ever since I was expelled out of high school 60 years ago, I am fully aware that he was a man with a passionate hatred of folly and cruelty. But he also gave to others, to students like me, the courage, hope, and heart in the fight against such horrors. Thus, I would rather be busy studying, reading, writing, and learning as a thoughtful man without a wife than be busy with a wife at home or with tutie-fruties outside the home. In the meantime, indeed, we all spend our lives looking for the things we have missed during our childhood years. With me at home and in school - the truth. Poch Suzara

Pope Pius Poch Suzara

According to Catholic doctrines any layman can become the Pope. That is why I still have hope. Wait till I become the Pope. The first thing I will do is to dismantle
the VATICAN BANK and distribute the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS deposited in that bank to
the 1 BILLION poor CATHOLICS in all Catholic countries - specially in this only Catholic country in all of Asia - the Philippines - the poorest among the poor Catholics anywhere in this world. Pope Pius Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and Jesus

It is ironic that Russell himself did not live a happy life. From all accounts, Russell lived a turbulent, bleak and joyless existence. Russell went through 4 failed marriages. Poch, is this the kind of person that you would idolize like a god? Ben Rivera Yes Bertrand Russell was married 4 times with 4 different women. He also had countless sexual affairs with women outside marriage, What about your Sweet Jesus? He was never with a woman. He was always hanging around with 12 men and washing their feet too. Is that the kind of wimp you love, worship, and adore as a god? Poch Suzara

God the mass murderer!

* 1 Chronicles 21:1-14 - god kills 70000 people. Why? David decided to take a census
(I guess only god is allowed to do that). * Numbers 16:35-49 - god kills 15000 people. Why? They were angry about an earlier incident where god killed 250 people who were burning incense without permission. * Numbers 25:1-9 - god kills 24000 people. Why? They were whoring around. * Judges 1:4, 3:28-29 - god kills 10000 Canaanites, Perizzites, and 10000 Moabites. Why? Just because, that's why. * Isaiah 37:1-36 - god kills 185000 Assyrians. Why? Their king and his men mocked god. * 1 Samuel 6:19 - god kills 50000 people. Why? They looked into the Ark of the Covenant. I can't even pretend to understand this one. * Amos 5:1-3 - god threatens to kill 90% of all Israelites when the tribe abandon him. Poch Suzara

Communism, Capitalism, and Catholicism

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Matt. 21:19 Well, in the Philippines, the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos, as faithful followers of Christ, sold our possessions to the rich. We are now the poor. In the meantime, the richest, most powerful economy in the world today is organized religion in general; the Catholic church in particular. At any rate, I take my hat off to the Chinese leaders of China. They are thinkers. They are not afraid to think. Decades ago, Chinese leaders asked: WHAT IF WE MERGE COMMUNISM WITH CAPITALISM? They did! Look at China today. Far more than having billionaires as individuals, the whole of China is a billionaire as a nation today. In the Philippines, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still arguing back and forth whether as followers of Christ we should continue to maintain our religious insanity together with political stupidity so that we will have more opportunities to please divinity; After all, we continue to believe in the promises of Christianity - such as that there is a better world to come after death for us poor Filipinos to enjoy eternal prosperity! Come on my dear readers - WAKE UP! Must we remain spiritually fucked one this earth as we will also be spiritually fucked as a people later after death with Jesus and his angels in heaven??

Death with Nancy

Nancy,

Please read your bible. See Eccl. 9:5 "The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten."

Nancy, I ask: After death, and our bodies and brains begin to rot - with what eyes shall we see, with what ears shall we hear, with what nose shall we smell, with what palate shall we taste, with what skin shall we feel, and with what brain shall we think?

Here is more for your thought: The day we are born is the day we begin to live in
a dying body.

Really Nancy, the most we should have is the courage to face what Bertrand Russell realistically put into thinking words: IF WE MUST DIE, LET US DIE SOBER, AND NOT DRUNK WITH LIES. Poch Suzara

Religion and War

Religion is big business. War is big business. As a matter of historical fact both religion and war have always been in cahoots together in the business of making money. Religion makes big profit selling salvation to the frightened. War makes big profit selling ammunition also to the frightened. Both the religion industry and the war industry are behind, if not the owners of schools, colleges, and universities. In the USA it is more popularly known as the Military-Industrial-University Complex,

For my part, I am proud to be against war: people killing people. I am a conscientious objector. I am also an atheist. I do not believe in the God of any religion. I do not care for divinity. I am only always on the side of humanity,

No doubt, religion makes men good; unfortunately, good for nothing. In the meantime, religion, like war, has nothing to do with life after birth. Only much
to do with life after death. As if there is any.

Indeed, after death, with what eyes shall we see? With what ears shall we hear? with what nose shall we smell? With what palate shall we taste? With what skin shall we feel? With what dead and decaying brain shall we be able to think?

In the ultimate analysis, both religion and war have always been the most successful and most profitable in the world of big business. The promises of
life after death sells like hot cake inside churches and cathedrals; and, in
the battlefield! Poch Suzara

Lost Marbles

I am told by the religious morons who are all thoughtlessly shocked at my thoughts to provoke your thoughts - that I have lost all my marbles.

Great Success of the Catholic Church

The fact that we Filipinos are the most sinful as a people, and ours is the most corrupt as a nation is proof enough that the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH is not a dismal failure; on the contrary - a great pontifical SUCCESS in the Philippines.

Catholic Charity in the Philippines

After more than 2,000 years of Catholic charity, it would be great if you, my dear reader, could explain how, where, and when Catholic Charity has ever eliminated poverty out of any Catholic country in the world - like the Philippines - the only Catholic country in all of Asia since the 16th century. Indeed, how come we Filipinos, the only people in all of Asia who love and adore Jesus as the Son of God and yet, we poor Filipinos, the majority of us, recipients of Catholic charity daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - continue only to be getting poorer as a people, not getting any richer even as a nation; and even more ticklish, we continue to endlessly suffer poverty of the worst kind - the poverty of the mind and heart? Indeed, SMILE, God loves the Filipinos in the Philippines, but He needs MONEY!. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

How Do We Fight Catholicism

How do we fight Catholicism? How do we get it expunged out of our country? I say by exposing its lies and deceptions. The religious horrors that's been keeping us Filipino spiritually sick as a people and morally corrupt as a nation. A good place to start is inside our schools, colleges, and universities. Our system of education should have nothing to do whatsoever with Catholicism - the killer not only of our Jose Rizal, but also the killer of Filipinos minds and the killer of Filipino hearts.

Silly Holy Bible

Dear Blanca, You believe in a book WRITTEN by INSPIRED authors of God that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons,mediums, spiritists, flying chariots, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, people resurrecting from death, a mother eats her own son, camels wearing necklaces, a man without father nor mother, a man who has 30 sons, rode on 30 donkeys and controlled 30 cities, laughter a foolish thing, characters living over 900 years, bread cooked in cow dung, drinking one's urine and dung, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories.

Spiritually Sick Man of Asia

The clearest definition of insanity or what it means to be the spiritually SICK MAN OF ASIA is found in the Holy Bible: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, his mother, his wife, his children, his brethren, his sisters, and yea his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26 Look how in our sick system of basic education we are taught first and foremost how to love the Lord Jesus up there by hating one another down here! Poch Suzara

Philippines Still in the Dark Age

Once there was a time when every man, woman, and child in this world believed in God and the church ruled. Historians refer to this time as the Dark Ages. It lasted for a thousand years - from the 5th to the 15th century. It is, however, still on going in the Philippines. The beliefs and values taught during the Dark Ages are still taught today in our schools, colleges, and universities. Look at corruption as a way of daily life in the Philippines. Why not? After all, there is always a kind, loving, merciful, and all-powerful God up there who can, at any time, forgive us of our sins and crimes and corruption down here! look at our corrupt government officials always taking advantage of such forgiveness of sin and crime by a "higher power" more known as "God" with his great ability to forgive sins and crimes.

Filipinos in Heaven with Jesus

"About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said,“I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven." Matt 18:1-3 Notice in the bible Jesus did not bother to explain where or which galaxies is the Kingdom of God located. A galaxy contains an average of 400 million stars and planets. And there are billions of such galaxies existing out there. More to the point, after death, by what mode of transportation does the soul embark on in order to travel to heaven? In the meantime, isn't it rather ticklish: Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die! Poch Suzara

As with me, I am the real ATHEIST. I do not believe, nay, I do not care to believe in the existence of either God of Christianity or Allah of Islam; or any other God for that matter.

On Being Courageous and Truthful

Open Letter to my Countrymen

Open Letter to my Country-men The only kind of salvation we need is the salvation away from lies and deceptions. They are otherwise more known as divine revelation. In this already 21st century we should begin to re-educate to revitalize ourselves as nation. It is time to dump ignorance as a religion out of our basic system of education. Religion has been and still is the curse and the cause of our troubles and problems as Filipinos. Life after birth should never be big business for schools, colleges, and universities; and, indeed, life after death should also never be a bigger business for the priesthood industry in our country. The truth hurts; but lies and deceptions are far more damaging. They can last for a thousand years. Take a good look at our formative years in school: It is where corruption comes from. Look at the way we Filipinos have been frightened to believe and to have faith in "God is love." That our sins or crimes are readily forgivable by God. Moreover, that God so love the Philippines in that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have life everlasting. I ask: If God so love the Philippines, how come after 400 years as the only "God is love" country in all of Asia, our country is still full of suffering, corruption, disease, disaster, poverty, pain, political degradations. and indeed - full of lies and deceptions? Nay, how come our schools, colleges, and universities continue to teach that the causes that make for our sick society are mainly due to our sick "free will." Well, if this were true, how come our system of education has utterly failed to remedy the situation? A Good Will is more functional and reliable than "free will." In the meantime, a Jewish savior born 2,000 years ago in a foreign land known as Jesus is far more admired, more loved, more respected by millions of Filipinos than our own Jose Rizal - a Filipino savior right here in our own country born less than 200 years ago. Listen to the words of - Jose Rizal: "I would like the Filipino to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive." Now listen to Jesus. He warned: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethern, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26. Jesus also declared: "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me. Luke 19:27 We Filipinos, via a functional system of education, can surely learn how to discover, explore, and exploit the tremendous wealth of our own natural resources. The greatest of which is the Filipino mind and heart! I ask: Have we ever heard of a foreign country where its people achieved a higher standard of living, and a higher standard of thinking not by hard working, not by hard thinking, but only by easy praying? especially to give us this day our "daily bread" and to "lead us not into temptation?" Life is either a daring adventure or a frightened situation. I said it before, I say it again: those who live in fear of death live in fear of life. Surely, nature will kill us all one day on this earth. The least, however, we can do is to face death not by kneeling down to an authority, but by standing up with self-respect and dignity. There is nothing more ennobling than to live the good life - one inspired by love of fellow citizens and guided by the power of science and technology enhancing the welfare of our own country under freedom and democracy. Let us look deep at those who are spiritually malnourished; and let us look deeper at our morally impoverished nation. Then let us conclude that our self-imposed maladies are mostly due to, if not the result of - the sick bible and its sick teachings. Indeed, look at us Filipinos in this already 21st century. We still believe that human life is a defect, and that we need not bother with reconstruction. We must only seek obliteration. It is, in this way, that the religious traders or bible brokers are selling what millions of Filipinos are buying: - Jesus! In the meantime, there is nothing more pathetic in our history than the hopeless resignation of our women to the outrages she has been taught to believe are declared to be ordained by Jesus. Who speaks for the Philippines? We, the Filipino atheists, speak for the Philippines! As atheists we love not divinity up there; we only love our country down here. We atheists speak for the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Those who play no daily part of this evils are called atheist, freethinkers, heretics, agnostics, infidels, and social outcasts. The priesthood industry sees to it that such "lost souls" are damned forever in hell. The fool saith that there is no religion.

Live each day - Steve Jobs

“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: ‘If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.’ It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” — Steve Jobs This is what I mean when I say let us try and leave this world a better place than we found it. Imagine Steve Jobs, an "educated" product of, say, De la Salle University. He was taught to love not this world, but to believe and to have faith only that there is a better world come after death. Therefore we need not improve or change anything around us. We must only learn to pray to: "St. John Baptist De La Salle pray for us. Leave Jesus in our hearts forever." Or, learn only to pray daily to God to "give us this day our daily bread and lead us not into temptation." Or, learn to pray only to Mary, Mother of God, to "pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen. Steve Jobs, an atheist, was one great example of what atheism is all about on this earth. He left this world a better place than he found it. Indeed, Steve Jobs was a great man. He had the courage to create beauty into this world where religion has only put horror. Indeed, to cover up the lies of religion is the business of cowards. The business of great men is to see them with inflexible clarity while thinking honestly, working nobly, and changing things around us sensibly, especially as a friend of science and technology. And in the degree in which we can all be great - this is the business of each one of us. Poch Suzara

Jesus Omni-absent in the Beginning

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

What a declaration of original lies on top of biblical deceptions. Indeed, it is not true that God so loved the world, and that he gave his only begotten Son to save the world. Otherwise, if it were true, God and His son Jesus could have already straightened out first the needless mess with Adam and Eve deceived by Satan in the shape of the Talking Serpent in the Garden of Eden to begin with?

King Midas, King Moron, Democracy

King Midas turned to gold EVERYTHING he touched. As a result, with nothing

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

Sex Tours in the Philippines

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

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

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

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.
Do not Think! Poch Suzara

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.

See what I mean by being Born-again? Poch Suzara

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?

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.

Human Civilization

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

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.

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?

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

Creationism

Creationism: The theory that the Roman Empire was built in 6 days and on the 7th day, after the devil made a mess of everything Roman, God said: "It was good." 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. Poch Suzara

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
