Silly God in the Silly Universe

Lettie, Do you really believe that a silly God, the silly creator of the silly Universe, found it necessary, as he also had the time and energy to inspire silly authors to write such silly messages in the silly holy bible to keep silly men and silly women of this silly world as silly as ever? In the meantime, human lifetime on this earth is but a fraction of a millimeter long, a bittersweet instant in eternity, a wink of an eye, a flash in the pan, a fraction of a second long. Even our planet earth is so tiny in that a million planets the size of earth can fit inside the sun. Now do you really believe that a Son of the God Jesus during ancient times was born on this piece of dust called earth. In order to save mankind from sin he allowed himself to be crucified on the cross by silly men created too in the silly image and silly likeness of his own silly Father. And this is the same crucified Jesus who cried out from the cross: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!" Lettie, for my part, I no longer feel guilty of sin against God because even during my childhood years I already began to formulate questions why we Filipinos should forgive God, instead of God wasting his time to forgive us!

Holy Garbage in the holy bible

The bible is the highest of blasphemy, if not the lowest of vulgarity. It claims to
speak for God, yet it was written by men - the superstitious primitives of the ancient
world.

In the meantime, it is indeed incredible to see in this already 21st century in the Philippines, college educated men and women are among the first to defend and protect the holy lies and sacred deceptions behind the Word of God more known as the Holy bible.Poch Suzara

More Holy Bible Garbage for Fr. Reuter

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14). Has seen God's Face: (Gen. 17:1) – “Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God Almighty ; Walk before Me, and be blameless; (Gen. 18:1) Now the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.” (Exodus 6:2-3) – “God spoke further to Moses and said to him, "I am the LORD; 3and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.” (Exodus 24:9-11) – “Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 10and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself. 11Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they saw God, and they ate and drank.” (Num. 12:6-8) – “He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak with him in a dream. 7"Not so, with My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household; 8With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses ?" (Acts 7:2), "And he [Stephen] said, 'Hear me, brethren and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran...'" Has not seen God's Face: (Exodus 33:20) – “But He [God] said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live !" (John 1:18) – “No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.” (John 5:37) – “"And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.” (John 6:46) - "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.” (1 Tim. 6:15-16) – “He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.- Poch Suzara

The Holy Bible as Big Business

The bible is the book of the church . . . The Jewish Church stands behind the Old Testament. The Christian church stands behind the New Testament. And behind the Church stands the priesthood industry - the sales force of the richest and most powerful bank in the world - the Vatican Bank.

Any of you out there do not believe this, you are either a religiously frightened bobo, if not an ecclesiastical weirdo. Poch Suzara

God and His Ticklish Burdens

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." Psalms 55:22

"God invited us to burden Him with what burdens us." Phil Star Jan. 16,2012

Since God is the creator of EVERYTHING, including the formation of light and darkness and peace and evil - it follows our burdens are part of God's creation too.

Could any of you religious saps please explain what the fuck is going on with God and his ticklish burdens? Poch Suzara

Virgin Birth. Hello Jesus

“In every ejaculation,” wrote Carl Sagan in COSMOS, “there are hundreds of millions of sperm cells, only one of which can fertilize an egg and produce a member of the next generation of human beings. But which sperm succeeds in fertilizing an egg must depend on the most minor and insignificant of factors, both internal and external. If even a little thing had gone differently 2,500 years ago, none of us would be here today. There would be billions of others living in our place.” In the meantime, in recent decades, science has discovered that to be a male baby a Y chromosome is needed and the only place you can get one is from a man. Virgin births therefore can only produce girls, not boys. Jesus, Hello! Poch Suzara

Failed Predictions

Failed predictions of notable personalities:

There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.---Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp, maker of big business mainframe computers, arguing against the PC in 1977.
Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.---Lord Kelvin, British mathematician and physicist.
There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.---Albert Einstein, 1932.
The horse is here to stay but the automobile is only a novelty---a fad. ---The president of the Michigan Savings Bank advising Henry Ford's lawyer, Horace Rackham, not to invest in the Ford Motor Co., 1903.
I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.---HG Wells, British novelist, in 1901.
X-rays will prove to be a hoax.---Lord Kelvin, President of the Royal British Society, 1883.
Television won't last. It's a flash in the pan.---Mary Somerville, pioneer of radio educational broadcasts, 1948.
A rocket will never be able to leave the Earth's atmosphere.---New York Times, 1

Here, however, are Flat Out Lies By The Bible's God Character, And His Numerous Failed Predictions. We'll start with:

Lies from the bible's god in Genesis:

1. "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

God says that if Adam eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then the day that he does so, he will die. But later Adam eats the forbidden fruit (3:6) and yet lives for another 930 years (5:5). 2:17

2. As a punishment for killing Abel, God says Cain will be "a fugitive and a vagabond." Yet in just a few verses (4:16-17) Cain will settle down, marry, have a son, and build a city. This is not the activity one would expect from a fugitive and a vagabond. 4:12

3. God promises Abram and his descendants all of the land of Canaan. But both history and the bible (Acts 7:5 and Heb.11:13) show that God's promise to Abram was a lie. 13:15, 15:18, 17:8, 28:13-14

3. How long was the Egyptian captivity? This verse says 400 years, but Ex.12:40 and Gal.3:17 say 430 years. 15:13

4. "In the fourth generation they [Abraham's descendants] shall come hither again." But, if we count Abraham, then their return occurred after seven generations: Abraham, Isaac (Gen.21:1-3), Jacob (Gen.25:19-26), Levi (Gen.35:22-23), Kohath (Ex.6:16), Amramn (Ex.6:18), and Moses (Ex.6:20). 15:16

5. God promises Abram's descendants the land of Canaan from the Nile to the Euphrates. But according to Acts 7:5 and Heb.11:13 God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled. 15:18

6. God promises to make Isaac's descendents as numerous as "the stars of heaven", which, of course, never happened. The Jews have always been, and will always be, a small minority. 26:4

7. God renames Jacob twice (32:28, 35:10 ). God says that Jacob will henceforth be called Israel, but the Bible continues to call him Jacob anyway (47:28-29). And even God himself calls him Jacob in 46:2. 32:28, 35:10

8. God calls Jacob Jacob, though he said in Gen.32:28 and 35:10 that he would no longer be called Jacob but Israel. 46:2

9. God promises to bring Jacob safely back from Egypt, but Jacob dies in Egypt (Gen.47:28-29) 46:3

10. The tribe of Judah will reign "until Shiloh," but Israel's first king (Saul) was from the tribe of Benjamin (Acts 13:21), and most of the time after this prophecy there was no king at all. 49:10

11. Contrary to the prophecy in 48:21, Joseph died in Egypt, not Israel. Gen.50:24

A REAL supernatural God that created all that is could never be this much of a fuck up. Poch Suzara

Thailand - the Master of Religion

Jan 13, 2012

My Dear Rev. Bob Gabuna,

Indeed, Thailand is a more progressive country compared to our Philippines. However, have you ever heard of the Thai people who have more faith in Jesus than they do love and respect their King? Or, in line with the teachings of Jesus - they do not take thought for tomorrow? Or worst - they believe, like millions of poor Filipinos believe, - to love NOT this world or the things that are in the world and leave everything to God because God will provide - if not in this world, in the next? All that they have to do is to pray daily to God to give us this day our daily, and to lead us not into temptation?

Really Rev. Bob Gabuna - have you ever heard of such religion garbage going on in Thailand - like 8 million of them gathering together in a public park like a bunch of insane malnourished maniacs crying to Jesus of Nazareth for some temporary salvation of no matter what nature while devoid of self-respect as a people and bereft of dignity as a nation Yours Sincerely, Poch Suzara

EVIL AGAINST EVIL

A psuedo-scientist writes: “Humankind cannot abide the terror of mortality without the promise of immortality, I have argued in the past. In the absence of religion human society sinks into depressive torpor. Secular society therefore is an oxymoron, for the death of religion leads quickly enough to the death of society itself.” I ask: how true is this in China today as the Chinese people have been irreligious since the 11th century? Or take the USSR – a so-called atheistic nation that eventually crumbled but only because after dumping Christianity, the USSR replaced Christianity with another religion called “communism.” Indeed, Communism, a religion, just like Christianity, advocate a religious way of life on the basis of irrational dogmas; they have a sacred history, a Messiah, and a priesthood. The history of the struggle of Christianity against communism was not a struggle of GOOD against EVIL; but a struggle of EVIL against EVIL. In any case, EVIL always wins! In the meantime, our world view has been deranged by myths imposed upon us by Christianity. For my part, I refuse to believe that centuries before Christianity arrived, ours was a dying society deprived of Christian teachings, values and beliefs. In fact, what diminished the Filipino of their rights to grow and to mature as decent people is due to the evils of Christian religion. Indeed, up to this day and age, we still believe that religion has only to do with our knees, and not with our heads. I ask: What happened to our sense for the spread of common decency in our own country? I say Christianity has been and still is based on holy baloney. It continues to twist our minds as a people and continues to distort our hearts as a nation. And until we dump the evils of Christianity out of our country, indeed, out of our culture and tradition, the evils that we Filipinos accomplished since in the 16th century, we will only continue to accomplish more of the same evils in the centuries to come.

God as a Cry-baby Weakling

What kind of an all-knowing or all-powerful God are you people referring to me to love, worship, and adore? A God that needs frightened morons like yourselves to defend or to make excuse or even to explain that God does not really means this, but means that. It seems to me sadly obvious that this God is a cry-baby supernatural weakling - precisely the kind of a God who can uselessly help only those who can already help themselves. Poch Suzara

Useless Revelation

REVELATION via inspired authors of the bible is not REVELATION. It is a second-hand communication and therefore not a reliable source of informatiion. As an unbeliever of the faith, if I must believe in the REVEALED TRUTH OF GOD, it must first be REVEALED directly to me. And not revealed to me by any of you religious morons of this forum, or by a Jewish idiot even if, with his magic wan, could part the Red Sea during winter some four thousand years ago. In his Age of Reason, listen to Thomas Paine: "It is a contradiction in terms and ideas to call anything a revelation that comes to us at second hand, either verbally or in writing. Revelation is necessarily limited to the first communication. After this, it is only an account of something which that person says was a revelation made to him; and though he may find himself obliged to believe it, it cannot be incumbent on me to believe it in the same manner, for it was not a revelation made to me, and I have only his word for it that it was made to him." I said it before, I say it again: FUCK REVELATION! Poch Suzara

Beliefs of the Silly Faithfools

Man’s stupidity to man is mostly due to, if not from, his infinite capacity to believe the incredible, the gullible, and indeed, to believe, especially, the inspired authors of divinity always in cahoots with deviltry. On the other hand, the ability to think is basic to what it means to be human. It is also the case that to think freely is basic to living freely with self-respect and dignity. It is sad, however, that so much of human thinking is controlled by religious, political, and other social forces based upon the charade of sacred lies, if not the parade of holy deceptions. In the meantime, to believe as true that countries like Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and all of the EU countries are now experiencing chronic depopulation so much so that now they resort to importing people to run their economies - is to believe as true such charade of sacred lies, or to believe as true a parade of holy deceptions. Indeed, the SILLY beliefs of 7 BILLION people in the world, especially amongst them are silly FAITHFOOL BELIEVERS in a SAVIOR in the Philippines! Poch Suzara

Sins Versus Crimes in the Philippines

New York, New York

Dear Mar Patalinjug,

Perhaps, you are probably right; we may be just dreaming. We may never succeed in getting the Catholic Church to apologize for the unlawful execution of Jose Rizal
and to correct the lies told about him like the "retraction" scandal; and to apologize to the Filipino people for the crimes of the Catholic church against the Philippines since the 16th century. It is, indeed, incredible that for millions of Filipinos in this already 21st century we still have neither love nor faith in our country, but have only faith in God and more faith in his Son Jesus.

I said it before, I say it again: the least we Filipinos can do is to keep silent no more. We must stand up and speak up even to stir or to inspire the conscience of the world to be aware of the damages the Catholic Church has done to the Filipino as a people keeping the Philippines once known as the "Pearl of the Orient," but now known as the "Payatas of the Orient."

Sin Against God on this Earth

The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. Carl Sagan

In this connection, it is utterly silly to believe that on this piece of dust called "earth" we humans are able to offend God, the creator of the Cosmos, with our stupid sins.

Well, I am an atheist. If it is true that I offend God by not believing in God, I should be not ashamed, but precisely I should be most proud of my self for having achieved such a wonderful and a great accomplishment. Poch Suzara

The Most Destructive Force in the Philippines

So bleak is the picture... that the bulldozer and not the atomic bomb may turn out to be the most destructive invention of the 20th century. Philip Shabecoff In our sick society, however, in this already 21st century, the most destructive force that's keeping our country poor and backward may yet be due to the Filipino minds and hearts; especially as products of the more than 1,000 schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated by the Catholic Church in the Philippines.

Health, Wealth, Truth, Lies, and Deceptions

We squander our health, in search of wealth. We toil, we scheme, we sweat, and we save.Then we squander our wealth in search of health; only to find the grave. As with me, however, I have been most fortunate. I squandered my health and wealth in search of the truth. It is a never-ending search; but in the process I managed, somehow, to discover the lies and deceptions that's keeping us spiritually poor as a people and keeping us morally misguided as a nation.

Belief - the Death of Intelligence

"My own opinion is that belief is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence." Robert Anton Wilson, (Cosmic Trigger, 1977) To think that the entire foundation of our education during the formative years in schools in the Philippines had nothing to do with HOW TO THINK, but only with WHAT TO BELIEVE. Thus, we Filipinos have been taught to be mentally sick with sick beliefs and sick values learns to become the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Atheist# Google#

A Savior On this Grain of Sand For Filipinos

A handful of sand contains about 10,000 grains, more than the total number of stars we can see with the naked eye on a clear night. But the number of stars we can see is only the tiniest fraction of the number of stars that are. What we see at night is the merest smattering of the nearest stars with a few more distant, bright stars thrown in for good measure. Meanwhile, the cosmos is rich beyond measure. The total number of stars in the universe is larger than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet earth. Carl Sagan, Scientist

Well, the earth is a billion times smaller than a grain of sand compared to the universe. I ask: could a God, the creator of the universe, really rejoice on this grain sand called "earth" in getting a Jewish Virgin Mary pregnant in Israel to produce a Son, a Redeemer, a Messiah, indeed, a Savior for the Filipinos in the Philippines? Poch Suzara, Atheist

Jesus - the Jewish Savior of Filipinos

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

Can you, my dear reader, explain what has this episode with money changers in the temple somewhere in Israel some 2,000 years ago got anything to do with Jesus as a Jew, and as the Son of God - born of a Virgin Jewish Mary - ended up as the Savior
of the Filipinos in the Philippines? Poch Suzara

Jesus and Education in Israel

Jesus is usually referred to as Jesus of Nazareth though he was born supposedly in Bethlehem. The distance between them is about 75 miles. What’s remarkable about this discrepancy, however, is not the Jesus of this or that town, but that neither Nazareth nor Bethlehem got to be a Christian town as part of a Christian country. Israel is still a Jewish State today.

Here, however, is something even more revealing. In the State of Israel today there exist no school, no college, and no university that teach Jesus is the Son of God who was crucified on a cross in Calvary to redeem the damned souls of Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century.

The Athiest Bible - THINK

"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 do it myself. Robert G.Ingersoll

Indeed, the THEIST bible is comprised of 66 books; 31,173 verses; and 773,736 words. It contains contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, vulgarities, atrocities, lies, and deceptions.

The ATHEIST bible, however, is more trustworthy, more reliable, and more worthy of human intelligence. The atheist bible, has, but one powerful word: THINK! Poch Suzara

Mindless Free Will

Adam and Eve were supposedly gifted with a free will to choose between good and evil. Yet both were never given the education to know the difference between the good and evil; nor, were they given divine guidance on how to accept or to reject evil. Free will is a myth. Again, how come Adam was never gifted with a free will to choose freely his kind of wife, and Eve was also never gifted with a free will to choose freely her kind of husband? In the meantime, in Proverbs 16:9, it says that: - “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” If this were true, then man’s free will becomes not only mindless, not only aimless, worthless, but, heartless. In the ultimate analysis, free will is an illusion. It is the product of consciousness which is another illusion. Well, our troubles have not yet even began because our consciousness is a product of a troubled reality. Consider the mess behind reality: "Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it." Poch Suzara

The Wrath of God

"The wrath of God continues to plague our nation because we have turned our back away from him." Bobit S. Avila, Philippine Star, Jan, 7,2012 Somebody ought to remind this religiously frightened Avila that it is not possible for any of us to turn our back away from God. In the first place, is it not true that God exists here, exists there, and exists everywhere. This simply means God exists on top of us, below us, in front of us, and at the back of us. Now let's assume, for the sake of the argument, - that we are able to turn our back away from God? Is it really possible that God can be bothered by such petty
development? Such useless triviality? For my part, I refuse to believe in the existence of a such a God. A God easily bothered by such childish nonsense. As if God had no more important things to attend to than just be easily bothered when we turn our silly back away from him. Poch Suzara

22 Problems of the Philippines

22 big problems
SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH By Ernesto M. Maceda (The Philippine Star) Updated December 31, 2011

President Noynoy Aquino has to work overtime in 2012 if he is to meet the expectations of the people and fulfill his election promises. The following problems are crying for solutions:

1. Lack of jobs; 3 million unemployed; 8 million underemployed. He promised to create 10 million jobs in 6 years or 1.6 million a year;
2. High prices of food and other basic necessities including rice, sugar, cooking oil, gasoline, LPG, pork, chicken, fish and vegetables;
3. Petty corruption in the bureaucracy including kotong cops;
4. Criminality all over the country with an epidemic of riding in tandem murders;
5. Environmental enforcement including assurance of clean air, clean water and adequately coping with the challenges of climate change;
6. Bad roads aggravated by the slow pace of construction of roads and bridges all over the country, with money being siphoned off by corrupt officials and contractors;
7. Lack of 66,000 classrooms, 112,000 teachers, lack of computers and IT equipment in elementary schools;
8. Deterioration of education resulting in low scores in national achievement tests, high dropout rate and only 20 out of 100 grade school students entering high school;
9. Lack of basic health services in rural areas with poorly understaffed government hospitals with old equipment and lack of medicines;
10. Lack of progress in the peace process with the MILF and the CPP/NPA/NDF. NPA attacks have stepped up nationwide.
11. The very serious problem of illegal drug use and drug dealing corrupting a wide swat of local officials and police officers.

Other pressing problems include:

1. Inadequate and poor airport services earning for NAIA I the title of the worst airport in the world. NAIA 3 is not yet fully operational;
2. Lack of potable water in many rural areas. Wells are drying up. Prices of bottled water have gone up;
3. Lack of transportation facilities in the rural areas with the high cost of gasoline and poor farm to market roads. Sea transportation besides being expensive is unsafe;
4. Unbridled population growth rate with the population now reaching 100 million;
5. Lack of post harvest facilities and insufficient irrigation systems;
6. Lack of electricity in 30% of the barangays;
7. Lack of potable water in many areas;
8. Lack of equipment in the AFP and also in the PNP;
9. Slow pace of legislature and judicial reform with backlogs throughout the court system;
10. A very bad jail system with frequent escapes happening and corruption pervading the jail management authorities;
11. Deterioration and shameful performances in Philippine sports, placing 6th in the last Southeast Asian Games.

Comment: surely Ernesto M. Maceda has the guts to enumerate the problems that's keeping us Filipinos aimless as a people and directionless as a nation. But he would not elaborate on the real monster, the real source of the problems that's keeping us POOR as a people and BACKWARD as a nation. The FACT that we produce 3 babies every single minute of the day and night or 1.5 MiLLION BABIES yearly. We are now 100 MILLION FILIPINOS IN THE PHILIPPINES. Around the year 2042 WE WILL HAVE GROWN TO 200 MILLION FILIPINOS all BLESSED BY DEVILTRY AS INSPIRED BY DIVINITY FOR THE SAKE OF NOTHING EXCEPT TO PROTECT, SUPPORT, PROMOTE AND DEFEND CHRISTIANITY.

There is no such thing as a hereafter since there never was, for any of us - a herebefore! If we wish to make the best of this world in the here and now - we should find more reasons to recognize and foster the power of science and the beauty of technology - all based, if not founded upon the power of thought in tandem with the power of observation as inspired not by free will, but simply - good will If, however, we only have hopes to carry on our stupidity for as long as eternity - then we might as well only continue to have blind faith in our silly prayers under silly theology otherwise more popularly known as "Christianity" in our poor and backward country! For my New Year's resolution this year, - same as last year and the year before that ever since I was expelled out of La Salle high school some 65 years ago: I RESOLVE TO LIVE THE GOOD LIFE - ONE INSPIRED BY LOVE FOR THE HUMAN RACE and TO HELL WITH DIVINE DISGRACE ALWAYS IN CAHOOTS WITH THE DEVIL'S EMBRACE!! HAPPY NEW THOUGHTS, NEW IDEAS AND HAPPY NEW TRUTHS FOR THE NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Let's Get to Know the real Jose Rizal

I said it before, I say it again: one can learn much about the real Jose Rizal not only by studying his writings; but more so by getting to know his real enemy - his killer, still here in control of Filipino minds and hearts via its schools, colleges, and universities - the Catholic Church. Indeed, the Catholic Church had Jose Rizal arrested, incarcerated, and executed and then even lied about him with a "retraction" story; in brief, that he died not as a heretic, but died as a penitent Catholic. Such retraction lie is still told about Jose Rizal by the Catholic church in the Philippines today in this already 21st century. Poch Suzara

Socrates Greater man than Jesus

Yes, Western civilization, with beauty and sanity at the start, unfortunately, in the long run got to be thrashed by Christianity for the sake of its big business at selling Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World and the salvation of man's soul.

Jesus preached: NEVER MIND TOMORROW. LET TOMORROW TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.

Socrates said: THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING FOR MAN. Well,
how could we when in Catholic or Christian schools, during our formative years, we
were threatened to examine NOTHING but only to believe EVERYTHING.

I repeat Bertrand Russell: WE ARE ALL BORN IGNORANT, NOT STUPID. WE ARE MADE STUPID BY EDUCATION.

If I may say it myself, I say: WE ARE ALL BORN IGNORANT, NOT SICK. WE ARE MADE TO BE THE SICK MAN OF ASIA via OUR BLESSED BY GOD SYSTEM OF EDUCATION.Poch Suzara

Socrates on Top of Jesus

During his days Jesus cured diseases but not wholesale, only in retail. If Jesus
had, instead, cured diseases on a permanent basis, indeed, wholesale - by making not diseases, but HEALTH contagious, there would be no need for any one to build hospitals?

In the meantime, it was men like Socrates - one of the Founders of Western civilization who showed other men how to build a hospital to shelter the sick as caused by germs, viruses, bacteria - indeed, little deadly creatures created by God - the Father of the Savior of the world - Jesus!

Jesus Christ - a Failure and a Loser

Jesus Christ, as the Savior of the world, was a failure; and, as the Son of God, he was a loser. He never saved the world, on the one hand; on the other hand, however, he only convinced billions of people to believe that after death, there is a better world to come. Nobody, however, but nobody knows anything about the existence of such a world to come after death. Moreover, Jesus never submitted to any one Road Map or Sky Map on how to go to heaven or to hell or to purgatory. As the Son of an all-knowing God, Jesus was a loser.

As the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, never transformed the concept of war into
a better purpose and that is the - WAR OF GOOD AGAINST EVIL, and not what precisely has been going on historically since time immemorial - the WAR OF EVIL AGAINST EVIL. Poch Suzara

Ignorance as God

Ignorance, to devout Christians is something sacred not only because they do not
know; but because they do not need to know. Indeed, Christians have been taught to believe that to question its teachings, or try to learn something new and fresh is a serious offense against faith; especially in the mysterious ways of God Almighty on earth as God is in heaven.

I Hate All religions

My dear reader -Have you ever heard of atheists hating and killing other atheists for not believing in God? What about the religious morons? When will they wake up to stop hating and killing each other in God’s name and for his glory in heaven, or in Allah’s name for his glory in paradise? Look at the TROUBLES in the history of our world. It is mostly about Catholics against Protestants. Protestants against Protestants. Christians against Muslims. Muslims against the Jews and Christians against each other. Is God really that cold-blooded in perfection, lost in self-admiration, always hungry for scenes that have only to do with death and destruction? Whatever happened to the beauty of renovation, or the art of reconstruction, or the idea of rehabilitation? In the meantime, I find it so laughable with people who pretend to be so worried that I am against as I hate religion. What are you people trying to say - that only believers have the right and privilege to hate other believers; but I have no right to hate ALL religions? Especially since all religions in this world have been nothing but more of a divine disgrace for the whole of the human race? I said it before, I say it again: FUCK NOT ONLY THIS OR THAT RELIGION, BUT FUCK ALL RELIGIONS. Indeed, the trouble in our world historically has never been about A TRUE RELIGION AT WAR AGAINST A FALSE RELIGION; NO, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE ABOUT FALSE RELIGION AT WAR AGAINST OTHER FALSE RELIGIONS.

Filipino Famous as The Sick Man of Asia

Free Will Stupidity

If we were told that we have the free will to choose not to go to heaven or not to go to hell, but free to choose neither heaven nor hell - just to leave us alone - then you might say we do, indeed, have free will! I asked it before, I ask it again: What chances have our free will against God's will especially since behind God is the Devil's free will also? Free will is nothing but holy garbage cooked in heaven and in hell to frighten man with original sin. In the meantime, a pregnant woman has the free will to abort her baby boy or girl. Well, what happened to the FREE WILL of said Boy or Girl in the womb - have they been given the free will to choose not to be born by freely choosing to go along with mom's deadly plan? Poch Suzara

Talking Serpent

God could talk to Adam and Eve at any time, but would not dare talk to the TALKING SERPENT to behave himself? What kind of a SILLY GOD was God? Was God just as frightened of the TALKING SERPENT? Just as much as the religious morons are all frightened of the Talking Serpent today? Poch Suzara

Jesus Freaks

Jesus had neither the beauty nor the power to give any kind of meaning for my life in any shape or form whatsoever. It is what Jesus did to all of my love-ones, relatives, friends and associates, classmates and school-mates in school, indeed what Jesus did to all of my countrymen - all frightened as victims rather than be the intelligent masters of religion. Such Jesus freaks continue to keep our country poor and backward at the price too dear to pay: - the mindless surrender of the self via the mutilation of the intellect. Poch Suzara

Revelation - as Second-hand Old and Useless Information

God may have revealed the truth to Moses in the Old Testament; and may have revealed the truth to Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John in the New Testament. But until God directly reveals the truth to me, I have the right to reject such revelation. I do not care to participate in the Christian scheme of hand me down unreliable old and useless information. Indeed, revelation is a direct communication; it has nothing to do with second-hand or third-hand pass the buck childish information. Poch Suzara

Steve Allen

“It was only when I finally undertook to read the Bible through from beginning to end that I perceived that its depiction of the Lord God--whom I had always viewed as the very embodiment of perfection--was actually that of a monstrous, vengeful tyrant, far exceeding in bloodthirstiness and insane savagery the depredations of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Attila the Hun, or any other mass murderer of ancient or modern history.”

God is not a Catholic

I am a publicly-declared, openly-avowed atheist. Thus, in our faith-soaked society, I am told that I need to see a psychiatrist to assist me solve my mental illness, if not to remedy my neurotic rebellion against authority. In brief, I am considered a danger to society as I am an individual with emotional troubles without a God to guide me to be on the right path. What is more ticklish about this situation, however, is that to label atheism as a psychological problem is a childish, indeed, a laughable attempt to evade the real issue whether there is a God or not? In the meantime, I already visited a Catholic psychiatrist. He could not prove to me the existence of God, nay, he could not prove to me that God is a Catholic! Happily, after much lively discussion, my Catholic psychiatrist friend is now interested to borrow my books on atheism to read off my personal library. Poch Suzara

Winter Solstice Greetings

WINTER SOLSTICE GREETINGS The earth has spent more time orbiting the sun than all the religions, all superstitions, all of humanity, and even of all life itself. The Winter Solstice represents an actual astronomical event unlike superstition driven celebrations that occur only in religious imagination. The exact day of the winter solstice marks the end of autumn, just one point along the orbital path of earth. The energy of the sun and the fertile earth, along with the over 4.5 billion winter solstices that have occurred, allowed enough time for all of earth's evolution to happen (and to continue to happen). This puts the Winter Solstice in a far more humbling position than anything invented by humans. Considering that the earth also comes closest* to the sun during the winter, what better time to honor the sun than during the Winter Solstice. The festivals of the Winter Solstice celebrate the start of the new solar year and the beginning of winter. The fantasies of superstition have also used this astronomical event to celebrate Saturnalia, Yule, Christmas, and many other superstitious events. The unknown builders of Stonehenge in southern England constructed the megaliths at around 2000 B.C.E. which makes it at least twice as old as Christianity. It accurately predicts both the summer and winter solstices. In astronomy, a solstice occurs two times a year. During the Winter Solstice the sun appears at its greatest distance from the celestial equator, the great circle on the celestial sphere that occurs on the same plane as the earth's equator. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice occurs either December 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, and its noontime elevation appears the same for several days before and after the solstice. The summer solstice occurs either June 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Cancer. In the southern hemisphere, the winter and summer solstices appear reversed. It may seem contradictory that the earth comes closest to the sun during the winter and the farthest during the summer, but the seasons occur mostly because of the tilt away or toward the sun, rather than the distance from the sun. As atheists we do not celebrate the birth of Christ called Christmas. Instead, we celebrate the Winter Solstice. We do not care to celebrate man's capacity to believe; rather, we celebrate, all year round - man's great ability to think! After all, there is nothing quite like it in all of nature! . . .

Who Else has Heard of Jesus

There are 7,000,000,000 BILLION people existing on this planet earth today - HOW COME ONLY 1 OUT OF 7 people celebrate the BIRTH OF JESUS? How come, most Asian non-Catholic countries enjoy a higher standard of living and thinking? So much so these growing and developing Asian countries who never heard of Jesus are able to hire with bigger wages Filipino workers to wash their dishes, laundry their dirty cloths, drive their vehicles, cook for them, run their elevators, be janitors of their office and residential buildings, sweep their streets, etc??

What happened? How come these Asian countries never heard of Jesus who declared to his apostles in the HOLY BIBLE - a book written by inspired authors of God:

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. "Go ye into all the world and make disciples of all the nations in my name" (Matthew 28:19).

So how come in all of Asia during these past 2011 years only the Filipinos in the Philippines love, worship, and adore Jesus as its Savior and at the same time - the Philippines is way, way behind in the race to achieve the higher standard of living and the higher standard of thinking as a nation otherwise more known as the race for civilization?"

God Bless the Devil in America

The historical joke in America can best be summarized in a few simple words: GOD BLESS AMERICA - THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. I lived and worked in America for some 19 years. I eventually saw through the reality that as a matter of fact AMERICA IS THE LAND FOR THE SELFISH, THE GREEDY, THE STUPID, AND THE INSANE - precisely the ingredients one must have to attain great wealth, power, and SUCCESS more known as the American way of life. What America did to its native Indians and to its imported Black slave laborers from the African continent says much that it was not only God, but also the Devil who blessed America. Poch Suzara

The Worst Kind of Corruption

Dec. 22, 2011 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sirs: The Worst Kind of Corruption Corruption in our country is not only endemic; it is pandemic. It is like a supernatural monster existing here, there, and everywhere. It is always hungry and needs feeding. The diet is unique: sacred lies marinated in holy deception then cooked with the power of education The worst kind of corruption, however, is the corruption of the mind and heart. The evil comes from our corrupt system of education. Look at the corrupt men and corrupt women in and out of government. They are the corrupt products of La Salle, Ateneo, Assumption, Letran, San Beda, Miriam college, University of Santo Thomas, University of the Philippines, Asian Institute of Management and all the rest of them that are commercial enterprises, hardly educational. Indeed, we are all born innocent, not corrupt. We are made corrupt during our formative years in school to believe in a lot of illusions and delusions that keep our society perpetually sick under national confusion. Indeed, we are not the rich masters of education. We are the poor victims of it. It is time that we Filipinos look seriously at our corrupt values and beliefs. Corruption has given us an image not of life, but of death. Ours, indeed, is a culture of corruption. A half-naked dead Son of God hangs on a cross in most of our homes, schools, hospitals, banks, sports arena, courts of Law, executive, legislative, judicial branches of government office, and indeed, especially around our own necks. It is not a symbol of self-respect as a people. It is not symbol of dignity as a nation. It is, indeed, a symbol of our failure as a people under the success of superstition in our poor and backward country. One of the greatest man this world has ever produced was a Filipino - our one and only Jose Rizal. He wrote two great books that shook the foundation of Christian power and authority over our minds and hearts as a conquered people. He proved with documentary evidence that we are not the brightened masters, but the frightened victims of Christianity. He was publicly executed in December 30, 1896 as authorized by his enemy. The enemy that never left the Philippines. She is still here with power, wealth, and glory popularly known as our "faith in God." Jesus, the Founder of Christianity, warned his disciples and followers: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethern, and yea, his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 Our Jose Rizal, always on the side of humanity, wrote: "The whole thought of my whole life has always been love of my country and her moral and material development." To Filipinos, he wrote in a manifesto: "My dream was my country's prosperity. . . I would like the Filipino to become worthy, noble, honorable, for a people who makes itself despicable for its cowardice or vices exposes itself to abuses and vexations." In the meantime, we Filipinos have yet to recognize why and how other foreign countries have also been substantiating Rizal's stand on the beauty of science and the power of technology. So much so that these foreign countries have been growing and developing. They are able to hire Filipinos to be their workers and laborers. Now estimated at 15 million Filipinos today residing and working in some 198 countries around the world. Such foreign countries have the free will to establish for themselves a higher standard of living and thinking. The life we conceive as a people is the life we achieve as a nation. With the birth of Jose Rizal in my mind and his death anniversary in my heart, I celebrate dearly what I envisage yearly - the Filipino capacity for love, beauty, knowledge, and the joys in life. Indeed, I celebrate the Filipino potential in creating social sanity, political integrity, religious rationality, economic prosperity, and historical sensibility. The struggle against corruption is everyone's business. Everyone is affected by it, therefore everyone should be responsible enough to take a genuine interest in efforts to admit it, confront it, and to eradicate it. We might begin to admit that the lies and deceptions making for our sick society are not constructive invocations but have been and still are utterly destructive revelations.

Human Misery, Human Tragedy

With or without natural disasters such as flood-hit areas in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao - millions of Filipinos in this only Christian country in Asia struggle to survive with no clean water, no toilet facilities, no shelter, no 3 square meals a day, no medicine, no schools, no hospitals, no hope for a better future. But they are told again and again that GOD WILL PROVIDE FOR THEM if not in this life, in the next better world to come after death known as heaven in the KINGDOM OF GOD. Even the head of the Vatican Bank - the richest, wealthiest, the most powerful bank in the world today - The holy Father - Catholic Pope - offers nothing but silly PRAYERS and CONDOLENCES to alleviate such human misery, such human tragedy in this only Catholic country in Asia today. In the meantime, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - we Filipinos have always prayed faithfully to God to help us remedy poverty out of our sick society. This has been going on since the 16th century. Today, in this already 21st century - nothing has as yet happened; in fact, things are just getting out of control, especially our population growing - now at 100 million Filipinos in this only Catholic country in Asia. However, as the results of our daily prayer have been not about something, but only about nothing, what we are told to do is to pray more, pray harder, and pray longer. Obviously, it is getting more and more obvious that as the Sick Man of Asia we have only been praying to a sick God who is just as sick here, sick there, and sick everywhere. Poch suzara

Christianity Seriously

Yes, we should take Christianity seriously; especially if we hope to continue having faith in human stupidity perpetually. After all, silly divinity inextricably mixed and always in cahoots with silly deviltry, especially in the Philippines, spells - Christianity. Poch Suzara

Jesus in the Bible

In La Salle grade school we were repeatedly told that God is not only here, is not only there, is not only everywhere, but that God is also present in the past, present in the present, and present in the future. But we were also frightened to believe that we must always seek and find God in order to save our souls damned in hell after death.

Do you see now why, in this God-forsaken and devil-taken only christian country
in Asia, millions of us Filipinos have been schooled to carry on our popularity throughout the world as the Sick Man of Asia?

In the holy bible, as written by inspired authors of God, Jesus clearly declared: "WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS A LITTLE CHILD, HE SHALL NOT ENTER THEREIN." Mark 10:15

I asked it before, I ask it again: When will you college-educated frightened morons begin to grow up and contribute to the spiritual growth of the Filipino as a people; and, contribute as well as to the intellectual maturity of the Philippines as a nation?

Must we remain forever on our dumbstruck knees waiting for the Second Coming of Jesus to remedy the ills of our sick society? Especially for the glory of God in hell always in cahoots with the devil in heaven? Poch Suzara

The Bible for Whom, For What

Reading and accepting bible messages as written by inspired authors of God produced not only the Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Unitarians, Episcopalians, Mormons, Masons, Iglesia Ni Cristo, El Shaddais, Dating Daan, tamang Daan, Jesus is Lord Movement, but also produced 57 other versions of bible itself, not to mention produced also the atheists, agnostics, heretics, and yes produced also the Iglesia de Pocholo?

Bible And the Constitution

Mar Patalinjug wrote, and I quote" "The Constitution should be read, understood and interpreted as it is WRITTEN--which is as clear as a legal document could get.
Any "ambiguity" or "lack of clarity" must be the invention of Litigants who have a pecuniary or other reason deliberately not to understand and interpret it AS WRITTEN."

Exactly the same thing should apply with the holy bible. We must read, understand, and interpret it as a religious book written by inspired authors of God.

Unfortunately, due to fear, fear of God, fear of the devil, fear of the unknown, and fear of death, we ignore all the contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, and atrocities written in the holy bible. Poch Suzara

Free Will is a Serious Joke

Yes, oh Yes, we all have the free will to produce children. Now the question is: where is that same free will of said children to choose whether it wants to be born a girl or a boy or even to choose not to be born at all. Or, to choose the kind of mother and father they would want to have?Free will is a serious joke. Poch Suzara

The Multiplication Table Not Inspired

Do you and your religious gang on these pages, in this forum, have the same problem, the same conflict, the same disagreement, the same need for understanding THE MULTIPLICATION TABLE? Now have you ever heard of the MULTIPLICATION TABLE was written by INSPIRED authors of God?

If simple thinkers can come up with the MULTIPLICATION TABLE as the perfect model of truth, as it is precise and certain and free from all temporal dross, free from contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, and free from atrocities - why couldn't GOD do exactly the same thing with his INSPIRED authors writing the so-called HOLY BOOK? Poch Suzara

No One is completely Useless

Mar Patalinjug, A teacher in grade 6 La Salle once told me in class that I was a totally useless student. I replied: "No one is completely useless, because the most horrible of us at least serves as a horrible example to others not to emulate." After I was expelled, I embarked on a self-education course. I gradually came to realize that it was my teachers in school who were the ones totally useless for me never to emulate. Indeed, there is greater value in learning HOW to think than learning WHAT to believe. During this Christmas season, while millions will be celebrating the birth of Christ, I would like instead to celebrate with you and Helen, Manny, John, Litton, Emily, Tolo, Peewee, Bobby, Louie, Gil, Frank, Doug, joe Assad, Danding, Nancy, and the rest in our communion of thinkers - the birth of man's capacity for ethical, moral, and philosophical development in love, beauty, knowledge, and the joys in life. More power to all of you in the years to come! Poch Suzara, 2011

Scientific Way of Thinking

Between one philosopher compared to a thousand theologians, I would first listen to Bertrand Russell: He made it clear that - "freedom is the supreme good; for without freedom personality is impossible. Life and knowledge are today so complex, that only by free discussions can we pick our way through errors and prejudices to that total perspective which is truth. Let men, let even teachers, differ and debate; out of such diverse opinions will come an intelligent relativity of belief which will not readily fly to arms; hatred and war come largely of fixed ideas or dogmatic faith. We think of education as the transmission of a certain body of settled knowledge, when it should be rather the development of a scientific habit of mind." Now, if you want to learn to be scientific in your way of thinking: you must first learn to value observation, and your conclusion from that observation must be tentative as the conclusion itself must still be under further investigation by way of experimentation. Science is always about lively analysis. The scientific way of thinking has nothing to do with deadly paralysis. In the meantime, science is always tentative. It is never definite or dogmatic. Science is always ready and willing to admit its own errors as science has been and always will be a self-correcting enterprise. As I am an individual in love with the scientific way of thinking, I may seem bleak and cold, arrogant or impertinent - to those of you who would rather remain frightened of Christian values and beliefs. But as I learned to muster enough intellectual courage to question everything, I have also learned to thrust fear out of my thoughts, and this lesson, once learned, brings a kind of peaceful sanity which is impossible to those of you still bamboozled by grade school fairy tales - threatened into us during our so-called "formative years." In the ultimate analysis, I said it before, and I say it again: due to, if not because of, Christian values and beliefs as the basis of Filipino custom and tradition, we never celebrate the rise of scientific intelligence to benefit our country's growth and development; on the contrary, we only celebrate the traditional and customary ways of Catholic mediocrity to maintain, support, and defend the horrors that make famous as a sick society. Poch Suzara

Understand our World

When the real world is not sufficiently flattering we all tend to take refuge in a world of make believe, where all our desires are gratified without great effort. This is the essence of fear, especially the fear of thought. It is also the source of the great religions and myths that have done more harm than good in this world.

For my part, I would rather understand the world and, if I can, change it. After all, understanding the world and the desire to change it are the two great engines of progress, without which, human society, especially our society, will remain as sick as ever; especially for God's glory in heaven. Poch Suzara

A college Educated Filipino

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

We think of education as the transmission of a certain body of settled knowledge. On the contrary, education ought to be about the development of a scientific habit of mind. Indeed, learning as a process of lively analysis, and not a matter of deadly paralysis.

It is sad and painful to see college educated men and women of this country carry a heavy load of useless guilt on their backs. They even believe
it as being blessed by God with peace and joy in life. As a matter of historical fact, they are intellectually crippled by its destructive weight. It is, in this way, that they readily serve a silly divinity up there rather than play vital roles in the development of sanity of our country via its growth and maturity down here.

I said it before, I say it again: A college educated Filipino who is always worried whether his soul might saved or might be damned usually has a soul that isn't worth saving or worth a damn. Poch Suzara

A Worthless God

Dear Bob Gabuna, It is incredible how you miserably fail to see the difference. Neither the wind nor heat nor electrical current would bother to threaten any of us with hell-fire eternal damnation if we do not believe freely in their existence. Now your God, so emotionally insecure, so unstable in character, so much of an egomaniac would easily get hurt or feel needlessly offended if we do believe in his existence. I said it before, I say it again: Such a God is a childish God and therefore NOT worth believing, loving, respecting. Such a God needs psychiatric treatment in an insane asylum. Cheers! Poch Suzara

Not the Healthy Masters, but The Sick Victims of Christianity

Far more damaging than sexual abuse is the intellectual abuse of children in Catholic schools. Indeed, what could be more damaging than teaching children to believe and to have faith in a lot of sacred lies and holy deceptions otherwise more known as "free will." Such as to believe that a Son of God Jesus was crucified on the cross 2,000 years ago to destroy the devil? But the devil is still alive and kicking. Still pretty much active in cahoots with God's divine plan, especially for us Filipinos with our "free will" in the Philippines, - the only Catholic country in Asia not of our free choice since the 16th century. In the meantime, in this already 21st century, millions of Filipinos existing without running water, without toilet facilities, living in cart, Nipa huts, or under bridges, indeed, living in the dirty slums of our major cities continue praying to God to "give us this day our daily bread," and to "lead us not into temptation! And after falling into temptation they also pray daily to "holy Mary, Mother of God, to pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen!" No doubt, the truth hurts; but lies are far more damaging and can last for a thousand years. I ask: when will we Filipinos, especially as a people, begin to wake up to the ugly truth that we are not the healthy masters of spirituality. We are, in fact, since the 16th century, the sick victims of Christianity! Poch Suzara Twitter# facebook# Google#

The Joys of Fucking, to Hell with Thinking

Most men enjoy the pleasures of fucking rather than they do enjoy the joys of thinking. Most women would also readily participate in the joys of fucking rather than they do enjoy the pleasures of thinking.

How else could we explain why we are now 7,000,000,000 BILLION people living on this fragile planet? Many of us are even asking the rest of us to please respect our religious beliefs which has nothing whatsoever to do with the joys of cogitating or the pleasures of thinking. Poch Suzara

Holy Bible Jewish Garbage

Do we really need to read ancient literature in order to be able to see God? Which God? The supernatural monster who impregnated one of his own daughters Mary to produce a grandson named Jesus Christ. Indeed, a so-called Savior born some 2,000 years ago in a foreign land that never got to be converted into a Catholic country as it is still a Jewish State!

I am an atheist. I have more love and respect for my parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents than I have love and respect for the stupid foreigners who colonized and ruined my country in God's name and for His glory in heaven.

Again, I ask you my dear reader: HAVE YOU EVER MET ANY ONE WHO HAS BEEN BLESSED BY GOD? Blessed how? By living a life of fear and ignorance and obedience?

Thanks to the Son of God Jesus, who is not only informational, but also transformational. It is only after death that we Filipinos look forward to meeting Jesus in heaven. As Jesus, however, promised to return some two thousand years ago, I am about the one and only exceptional Filipino who is looking forward to meeting Jesus in person right here and now. Indeed, I hope and pray that Jesus will soon return. In this way, he can begin to straighten out the mess caused by Christian values and beliefs keeping the Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and the Philippines morally backward as a nation. In the meantime, as Jesus, however, has not only been informational, but also transformational, - what has the results been for us Filipinos in this only Christian country in all of Asia? Hate, fear, ignorance, filth, squalor, poverty, not to mention political mediocrity in cahoots with biblical insanity pretty much characterize our way of life. It is, indeed, not only damnable daily, weekly, and monthly, but also God-damnable yearly! Poch Suzara

I Celebrate Atheism, not Catholicism

Millions of Filipinos celebrate December 25 as the birth of a Jewish Lord, the
Son of God, known as Jesus Christ - born in a foreign land, some 2,000 years ago -
the so-called "Savior of the Filipinos.".

For my part, as an atheist, 365 days of the year - I celebrate daily the pleasures
in life - intellectual growth and philosophical development; the love of learning, happy, expansive, generous, glad when others are happy, not glad when others are not happy.

I celebrate the pursuit of the truth as the unexamined life, indeed, is not worth living. In brief, I celebrate daily the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Poch Suzara

Foul and Vulgar Messages Written in the Bible

The foul and vulgar language of Poch Suzara is rather amateurish compared to the foul and vulgar messages written in the holy bible - specially to tickle the ribs of the sick religious saps and jerks on these pages. “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.” Matthew 23:27 “You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” Matthew 12:3 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?” Matthew 23:33 “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?” Matthew 3:7 “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44 “For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5: "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do these things." Is. 45:7 "For it is written, I will bring to nothing the wisdom of the wise, and will to nothing the understanding of the prudent." 1Cor.1:19 "For in much wisdom is much grief, and he increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow." Eccl.1:18 "Love not the world, neither the things that ARE in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1John 2:15 - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

Indoctrinated, YES. Educated, NO!

For the sake of argument, let us define "education" not as the painful accumulation of dead facts and useless dates, but as an ennobling intimacy with lives of great men and women of history. Not as the preparation of the individual to "make a living," but as the development of every potential capacity in him for the comprehension, control, and appreciation of this world. Our World. Above all, let us consider education as the technique of transmitting as completely as possible, to as many as possible, that scientific, technological, intellectual, moral, and artistic heritage through which the race forms the growing individual that makes him a decent human being at home with the freedom of thought and sane action.

Under this definition, I must admit, openly or publicly, that if I had finished 6 years of La Salle grade school, 4 years of La Salle high school, and 4 years of college at De la Salle University, I still would consider myself today, not as an "educated Filipino" but only as a faith-soaked "indoctrinated Catholic" - useful to fear God up there by being utterly useless to love of my country down here.

Now, imagine our city councilors, city mayors, governors, congressmen, senators, and President as government officials - the products of Catholic schools, colleges, and universities. With all of them there is more fear of God up there and than there is love of country down here.

Indeed, love of country means the same thing as love of health and sanitation. Love of education. Love of ideas. Love of work. Love of commitment. Love of punctuality. Love of schedule. Love of law and order. And the most vital of all loves - no, not love of a divinity, but simply the love of fellow-citizens for the sake of our love of country. Poch Suzara

Poch - A Sick Filipino

I am told that a Filipino who lives, not by what he loves, but by what he hates, is
a sick Filipino. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I got expelled out of high school because I loved intelligent thinking. I hated stupid believing. Poch Suzara

What I Want for This Christmas

For this Christmas, I want the poor Filipino families living in the slums ofour major cities struggling to survive under the most inhuman of conditions to relocate and live inside churches, cathedrals, synagogues, temples, and chapels. If we have no heart to love our poor people, then let the Lord and his angels love them instead. In the meantime, I want those slums transformed and properly maintained and no longer used as garbage dumps to serve as emblems of the kind of love we have for our country. TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS For this Christmas, I want school teachers and college professors to bring students in touch with the finest achievements of the human mind. To teach them not WHAT to believe, but HOW to think. To make them appreciate that there is beauty and power in the mind that thinks. That there is more to freedom than just the freedom to enjoy mediocrity. That the individual is not the end and the aim of his own being: outside the individual is his family, his country, and indeed, the future of humanity. SELF-RESPECT AND DIGNITY I want our system of education to work for our self-respect as a people.
I want our system of government to work for our dignity as a nation. In
this way, none of us Filipinos need to kneel down and pray to a God existing inside a Cathedral that never works to begin with! I want all of us to acknowledge the fact that self-respect as a people and dignity as a nation should put us on the path towards the achievement of a higher standard of living and a higher standard of thinking in the Philippines - our country. MORE MEANINGFUL ROLE FOR CONGRESS For this Christmas, I want Congress to make more substantial changes for the Philippines than just change the rules of the game in how to quarrel against each other over nothing. The entire nation has a lot of catching up
to do with the help from science and technology. The RH Bill debate has been going on in Congress for 12 years now. In the meantime, 3 babies are born every minute of the day and night or 1.5 million babies born yearly in the Philippines. Most of these babies are in desperate need to be wanted and loved via nutrition, health, sanitation, and education which the RH bill could help provide, insure, and secure. THE SANITY OF CONTRACEPTION I want to see more social sanity behind contraception, and not the insanity
of unwanted impregnation. What we Filipinos desperately need is not more quantity, but only quality of Filipino life. Perhaps, under population control, like most other advanced Asian nations, we too can celebrate once a year
not the birth of a foreign Lord, but the birth of social justice via the growth
of Filipino intelligence throughout the land. It is silly for divinity to bless the poor, specially those poor in spirit. Theirs is already the kingdom of poverty in this Asia's only Christian country. RESPONSIBLE REPORTING For this Christmas, I want editors and writers of newspapers and magazines to publish more facts and information, and no more confusions, illusions, and delusions. The most noble of profession is the pursuit of the truth. It is, indeed, a great pity that the search of the truth has absolutely nothing to do with the system of information in and for our country. It is, in this way, that we can hardly think that a good society can be transformed into a better society for every one of us to enjoy. In the meantime, faith in a false belief
is the most dangerous element in any situation. Beliefs, especially "sacred" beliefs based upon falsehoods are utterly useless. Such false beliefs destroy the rare opportunity for social change and progress, economic stability, political sanity, and indeed, improvements in our history. FOR CHURCH LEADERS For this Christmas, I want the Cardinals, bishops, priests, nuns, ministers, and the TV evangelists to admit they know nothing about God; they know nothing about life after death; they know not nothing of heaven or of hell; they know nothing about the virtues of adding to social welfare and to human happiness. Indeed, that they only know about the order and harmony in the universe, but they know nothing about the disorder and disharmony created by many kinds of silly religious dogmas, worthless doctrines, and useless sacraments that make for our sick society. FOR THE ARMED FORCES For this Christmas, I want the Philippine Navy, the Philippine Army, and the Philippine Air Force to protect and defend the law-abiding citizens of our Republic. Help instead catch to put in jail the lawmakers who are among the first law-breakers of our poor and backward country. Defend and also protect our rain-forests. What's left of it. 80% of them have already been cut down and exported for profit by corrupt and powerful lawyers as high officials in our government. CHURCH TEACHINGS For this Christmas, I want those burdened with guilt of the original sin to realize that they are wasting their time on this earth. The original sin is neither original nor a sin. Not even if it were committed by Adam and Eve, who originated nothing in the first place. How can any of us be guilty of anything original if there were, first and foremost, an original creator? BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS For this Christmas, I want the born-again Christians to realize completely that wisdom is functional, not biblical. Everybody, when he is born, fresh out of the uterus, is an atheist. No baby has any religion. Of course, as soon as infants are born, snatched out of the mother’s womb, adults begin to indoctrinate them. But all babies are atheists: free from religion, free from religious beliefs. No baby is born as a Muslim, or a Jew, a Baptist, a Catholic, or a Hindu. They are all born free and then indoctrinated. When they attain the age of intellectual maturity and they repudiate that indoctrination, they become in the real sense of the word: - “Born-Again Atheists.” They go back to the purity of their beginning, before any of these dreadful theistic beliefs was put into their receptively indiscriminating, little, and malleable minds. SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES For this Christmas, I want bible readers to admit one historical fact – for two thousand years in the world and 400 years in the Philippines, the truth has been defined not by reason, but by searching for it in the ancient Scriptures. Meanwhile, the revealed truth has yet to be revealed. No doubt, if all the answers to Filipino problems were found in the holy bible, if it had been the most excellent book for moral or spiritual guidance, then by this time, surely, it should have already straightened the mess out of our sick society that’s keeping us Filipinos famous as the Sick Man of Asia. All the problems of government and the ways to develop our local integrity and ways to cultivate our national growth and maturity are silent in the bible. Indeed, love, passion, and compassion are mostly derived from our sense of humanity. Never from divinity. Never from deviltry. FOR A FREE PHILIPPINES For this Christmas, I want the Philippines to be free – free from infantile pursuits, free from fear of the unknown, free from corruption, and free from biblical threats. I want every man, woman, and child – the citizens of our country – to live under the joys of a higher standard of living and thinking. Indeed, to enjoy the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. I want the Filipino to have faith – faith in himself, faith in his country, and finally, to have faith in this life, the only life we have on this earth. This will do for this Christmas. For next Christmas, I may want more, much more for my MERRY CHRISTMAS!

If I Ruled the World

Here is a sane, nay, a beautiful song that God himself together with his devil would be so embarrassed to sing loud and clear with much gusto, pride, and glory in public or in private, especially in the Philippines.

IF I RULED THE WORLD

If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring

If I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,
Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred

My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams
If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man coud end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world
Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world.

If only it works

I said it before, I say it again: if only we have a system of education that works for our self-respect as a people, and if only we have a system of government that works for our dignity as a nation - none of us Filipinos need to run to God inside a Cathedral that never works to begin with.

Imagine God existing inside a Cathedral. It has been found that during all these past centuries a Cathedral is nothing but a monument to human stupidity. Poch Suzara

Pain

"Sometimes, pain comes for a reason. Face it and then let it go." Gina Lopez

On the contrary, we must not ignore the opportunity to examine pain and its sources whether psychological, emotional, or physical. In this way, we might discover how to make pain much less of a painful experience for others.

This has nothing to do with love for a cruel divinity. It has only more to do with love, passion, and compassion for humanity. Poch Suzara

Stolen Wealth of the Philippines

Overpopulation means that the number of people in a society surpasses the economic basis for providing them with adequate food, ample clothing, decent housing, quality school facilities¸ meaningful employment, and creative leisure. Of course a men of blind faith do not see the beauty of these earthly goods. They can only believe what other men of blind faith have been frightened into them to believe. Especially when they were little boys and girls in school, that: - God has and will always provide for the Philippines.

If it is true that the Philippines has no overpopulation problem and that our problem of vast poverty is really due to unequal distribution of wealth as provided by God, I ask: when will the Vatican bank begin to return and distribute to poor Filipinos the trillions of dollars stolen by Catholic church doing big business in the Philippines – the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16 century?

Global Worming

Far more harmful than global warming is "global worming"- millions of frightened people groveling like sick worms before nonexistent deities. For my part, I was in La Salle grade school when I already began to realize that we must all be really sick to grant Christianity too much honor and respect but too little critical examination that would give us Filipinos as sense of self-respect as a people and dignity as a nation. In the meantime, there once was a time when every man, woman, and child in this world believed and had faith in God and the church ruled. Historians refer to this time as the "Dark Ages." It lasted for a thousand years. From 5th to the 15th century. In the Philippines, thanks to our sick system of education, the majority of us Filipinos believe not in the power of thought, believe not in the power of learning to make us the healthiest and the wealthiest people of Asia. No, we believe instead in the power of a divinity, like a Jewish Son of God Jesus, or believe in the power of the Old Testament and the New Testament to remedy the historical ills of our sick country. Thus, in this already 21st century, instead of growing and developing with reason behind Rizalism, we only have the same faith in silly Catholicism. Luckily, I was expelled out of school. It saved me from being another sick victim otherwise more known as the SICK MAN OF ASIA. Poch Suzara

Intelligent Unbelief

The trouble in our world comes mostly from religious morons who are ready and willing to fight for their stupid belief; only the few are courageous enough to fight for their intelligent unbelief. For my part, I am most happy and proud that I managed, somehow, down through the years, to dumped all of the stupid beliefs I acquired during my formative years in grade school - down the garbage bin.

I am asked: what is the difference between a stupid believer and an intelligent thinker. The stupid believer enjoys believing more than he does thinking. The intelligent thinker enjoys thinking more than he does believing. Poch Suzara

On Thanksgiving Day

On Thanksgiving Day, I thank guys like you for making me more famous. Thank you for the publicity. I am proud of you for making more and more people listen to what I have been saying all along - the truth can never remain forever submerged. Sooner or later - the TRUTH will emerge. Please keep it up. Thanks to you more and more people are beginning to realize that I am making a lot of sense not only as man, not only as a Filipino, not only as an American, not only as a Spaniard, not only as a La Salle high-school expelled student, but more so, indeed, as an unbeliever of the faith - as an atheist. No doubt, the truth hurts; especially to the frightened saps and indeed, to the religious morons like you are as a college educated jerk. For my part, I love the truth. The truth is a shinning goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of pursuit as a lifetime adventure. Poch Suzara

WHAT I LOVE AND WHAT I HATE

With every drop of my blood I hate religion. I detest lies and deception. I reject superstition. I abhor every form of slavery. I oppose falsity, laugh at mediocrity, and I wage war against any school, college, or university that support biblical mendacity, political stupidity, economic perversity, moral bankruptcy, and social insanity.

I love the search of the truth - spirit of free inquiry; especially as it inspires the power of the mind and heart to enhance the beauty of liberty spreading the values of freedom and democracy.

The freedom of religion is malicious; however, far more precious is the freedom away from religion. It is all about the freedom of the mind. There is nothing quite like it in all of nature. Without freedom of the mind all else is shallow, vague, and banal.

These loves and hates will do for today. Tomorrow I may want to love more; and day after tomorrow I may want to hate more. It all depends on how effective we all are in promoting human intelligence down here by rejecting divine malevolence from up there. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russel - a God to me

As a little boy in school, my priest-confessor often told that I am not a perfect being. I should therefore always kneel down and ask God for the forgiveness of my defects. Indeed, that eventual obliteration will be a better situation than my need to seek reconstruction. Bertrand Russell arrived into my life after I was lucky enough to have been expelled out of La Salle high school. He said: “No one is perfect and we should never be bothered by the fact that we are not perfect.” Russell also taught me to question everything including his own ideas and values. He wrote: "It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly." These words have not ceased to stir my mind and heart to this day. If there were ever a thinker I have learned to love and respect – such a thinker was Bertrand Russell. Indeed, Russell saved not my stupid soul; he saved, instead, my intelligent mind. Much to my happiness, it was Bertrand Russell who introduced me to love and respect as well our own great thinker - Jose Rizal. None of my teachers in school taught me to see how great a Filipino humanist/scientists was our own Dr. Jose Rizal Oh Bertrand Russell, whenever you are - thank you for teaching me intellectual courage to face the horrors in nature. And thank you as well for making me realize that our world is infested with religious insanity and political stupidity; and that life is not worth living unless we struggle by declaring war to defeat such horrors - horrors that's keeping our world poor spiritually, backward morally, and fucked economically Poch Suzara

Delusion in Cahoots with Confusion

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. Luke 1:27

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. Rom. 1:3

Jesus, the son of Joseph which was the son of Heli. Luke 33:23

And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus. Matt. 1:6

Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" Matt. 17:5

The beloved son declares: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26

In view of the above biblical complication, is it really that hard to see why as the only Christian country in Asia, we Filipinos are so proud of our delusion as a people and even more so proud of our confusion as a nation? Poch Suzara

System of Learning

Our system of education does not encourage human benevolence; on the contrary, it stultifies the potential for human intelligence. Education is suppose to promote, not demote the power of the human mind; indeed, it is suppose to nourish, not malnourished the beauty of the human heart.

In the Philippines, thanks to our so-called system of learning - we are mainly taught how to be faithful and proud as the Sick Man of Asia. It is, in this way, that we must hold nothing but contempt for those others who have the fearless capacity to think. Indeed, contempt for those others who question what has always been taken for granted in this poor and backward country of ours. Poch Suzara

Medulla Oblongata

The bible says: "Do not be carried about with divers and strange doctrines." Heb. 13:9.

Indeed, be on the look out for Catholic dogma, Presbyterian pigma, and Lutheran hogma, or be the victim of a holy stigma. They are out to severely damage your Medulla Oblongata. Poch Suzara

Sick Man and Sick Woman of Asia

In school, we were taught more about the laws of God than we were inspired to discover the laws of nature and the laws of our land. Indeed, in class, to learn how to be faithful religiously for the rest of our lives. We were taught to mind not how to be well-informed citizens of our country. How to be creative or productive for our growth as a people and for our maturity as a nation.

We hardly had science. The learning of the scientific way of thinking was never encouraged in us during grade school, high school, and in college. Only the learning of more religion based on theology which is the study of the unknowable, if not the pursuit of the mystery. It is no wonder that in the Philippines, as college educated men and women we are all good; unfortunately for our country and its future, all good for nothing.

In the meantime, as the Sick Man and Sick Woman of Asia, life in general in the Philippines can be characterized as the competition to be the criminal or be the victims of the criminal. To think we are products of La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, Letran, UST, Assumption college, Miriam college, University of the Philippines, The Asian institute of Management, etc. etc.

But as Filipinos, why should we care? It has been emphasized during our so-called "education" that we need not love our country, neither to love the natural resources that are in our country. If any Filipino loves his country, the love of God is not in Him. After all, we were all frightened to believe and to have faith that there is a better country to come after death with God in heaven.

I said it before, I say it again: We are not the intelligent masters of education. We are the stupid victims of lies and deception otherwise less known as the "system of indoctrination." Poch Suzara

Sick Holy Bible

I said it before, I say it again: If only readers were more conversant with the sick contents of the sick bible, written by sick authors as inspired by a sick God, you would think of me as a piker, an amateur, a tyro at using so-called "vulgar," "dirty," "gutter," or "sick" language in any debate on the subject of the holy shit otherwise more known as the "Revealed Truth of God in the Holy Bible." The trouble with you sick religious morons is that you never bother to seriously read and study your sick bible. By the way, there are some 57 different versions of the bible sold in bookstores today. In my personal library of books I only have the Catholic bible, Duane, Good New Bible, and the bible edited by pastor Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement in the Philippines...

The Gods of Great Thinkers

Here's the GOD of Mar Patalinjug:

Time and time again, I have characterized this biblical "God" as vicious, malicious, ferocious, vain, vainglorious, vengeful, hateful, murderous, cantankerous, and utterly devoid of what we human beings know as love and compassion. The bible verses you quote in this Post confirm what I personally think of this biblical "God."

Here's the GOD of Richard Dawkins:

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

Here's the GOD of Poch Suzara:

All, but all of my silly teachers in La Salle grade school and La Salle high school were all a GOD to me. If I disagreed with any of them on any subject - they threatened me with either being thrown out of class or suspended for several days out of school premises. Gradually, in the end, happily, luckily, fortunately - I was finally expelled out of first year high school.

Jesus as BIG BUSINESS

The religious, bible bobos, scared fatheads, and the frightened wimps as among the kind of victims that make organized religion such a lucrative business in this country keeping it poor and backward.

Indeed, Brother Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; Brother Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement; and Eli Soriano of Dating Daan, to name a few, are among the very wealthy religious businessmen today in our sick society. Imagine these amateur pikers among the few rich and the famous operating the business of selling Jesus only in decades! Then compare the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic church and Iglesia Ni Cristo operating the bigger business of selling eternal salvation for centuries in this poor and backward country.

For my part, I only have to think of my parents, grandparents great grandparents, uncles, aunties, nephews, nieces, cousins, in-laws, my children, my children, grandchildren, wife, friends, classmates, and schoolmates - all as the poor victims of religion. Seldom the masters of courageous thoughts. It makes the blood inside my brain get hot to a scandalous temperature. Poch Suzara

Praying and Hallucinating

When you talk to God, it's called PRAYING. When God talks to you, it's called HALLUCINATING! The last time I talked to God and God talked to me was when I was 14 years old! Neither of us made any sense to each other at all. It was also the last time God and I ever heard from each other ever again! After which, I stopped bothering God and God also stopped bothering me. It has been a happy and a dignified arrangement - God stopped believing in me and I stopped believing in God. It is what I think of my stand as a decent human being gifted with self-respect and dignity and indeed, with intellectual courage to value not my "free will" but my "good will."! Poch Suzara

Kill the Church

Human intelligence will eventually kill the Church of all Religions. After all, religion has been based on nothing but self-imposed mendacity - plain and simple. Indeed, the same religion that encourages mediocrity to have faith in the perpetual horror known as stupidity that generates social insanity. Poch Suzara

Letters Written years Ago

NY,NY, 08 Nov 2011 Dear Helen: Pocholo Suzara is one Filipino who uses his Cognitive Powers as they should be used - logically and rationally. As a Filipino intellectual of the First Degree, he is a rara avis. He is more of a rara avis because he is not afraid of the naked, the brutal and the unvarnished TRUTH. Poch Suzara has earned his rightful place among the world's Great Thinkers. Mar Patalinjug My Dear Mar, Thank you for your great thoughts about me. Please rest assured that I have just began the fight. I am already 74 years old. I have a few years, perhaps a few months, or who knows a few days to live on this earth. But I will do my best to deliver the promise I made to myself when I was 14 years old - expelled out of La Salle high school: In the years ahead, I promised I will somehow play a role, a part, no matter how puny, or how insignificant in the ambitious task of bringing down the evil monster that's keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally frightened as a nation - the evil monster otherwise more known as Christianity in the Philippines. Established here since the 16th century. Indeed, it is not enough to rock the Christian boat in the Philippines. It is time that we sink it permanently out of its existence. Let us give our children and children's children a fighting chance to learn how to live the good life - one inspired by love of this world and guided by knowledge of this world. In this way, like the few of us today, they too will have found a purpose to leave this world one day a better place than we found it. Cheers! Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati city Nov. 9, 2011
