Science and the Scientific Way of Thinking

Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. - Thomas H. Huxley It is not what the man of science believes that distinguishes him but how and why he believes it. His beliefs are tentative, not dogmatic; they are based upon evidence, not on authority or intuition. - Bertrand Russell "There is no other species on the Earth that does science. It is so far, entirely a human invention, evolved by natural selection in the cerebral cortex for one simple reason: it works. It is not perfect. It can be misused. It is only a tool. But it is by far the best tool we have, self-correcting, ongoing, applicable to everything. It has two rules. First: there are no sacred truths; all assumptions must be critically examined; arguments from authority are worthless. Second: whatever is inconsistent with the facts must be discarded or revised. We must understand the Cosmos as it is and not confuse with how we wish it to be." - Carl Sagan Science is replacing the fear of the unknown with the courage to question everything even what is already known. After all, the TRUTH has yet to be found and the search of the truth is man's most noble of professions! - Poch Suzara

Birth and Death Reality

Sir: what, in God's name, are you talking about? Which reality are you referring to? The only reality that is fully recognized by science is this: Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it! In the meantime, we know absolutely nothing of the reality of life that comes after birth, how in hell should we know anything about the reality of life, if any, that comes after death? And if there reality after death, isn't it also subject of its own destruction and the new reality to replace it? Poch Suzara

Life After Death Nonsense

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 sex organ shall we fuck. Wake up, man! In the intellectual realm with what brain already dead shall we be able to think? Our identity and memory are functions of the brain. When we die, the brain decays. What then of our memory and identity? We atheists are more concern and attentive with life after birth. Fuck life after death - there isn't any. Indeed, immortality is the condition of a dead moron who does not believe that he is already dead, buried, and gone! In the meantime, listen carefully to Mark Twain: "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." Poch Suzara

Factories to produce babies, not Goods

Lawmaker - Cagayan De Oro City Rep - Rufus Rodriguez says that: 645 towns don't have Fire Stations, fire trucks, fire-fighting equipments and crew members. - Philippine Star, March 28, 2012

What this lawmaker ignores to admit is that in such same 645 towns - they also have no health clinics, no public libraries, no public health and sanitation facilities,
no Public Parks or playgrounds for children, no community center, no rehab center, no maintenance for schools. But they do have churches and indeed, a factory - that produces not goods, but babies. Poch Suzara

Oh Lord, Please Stop Wasting Time

"We find courage to stand when we kneel before the Lord." - Philippine Star, March 27, 2012

On the contrary, we need courage to stand before the Lord to tell Him to stop wasting time. To please finish the job he started as a Savior of mankind more than 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Really Lord, what's holding up the show? Time has already elapsed! Are you still stuck with that cry on the cross before God: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" Poch Suzara

My teacher - Bertand Russell

Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970). Philosopher, mathematician, educational and sexual reformer, professor, pacifist, atheist, prolific letter writer, author and columnist. Bertrand Russell was one of the most influential and widely known intellectual figures of the twentieth century. In 1950 he was awarded the Noble Prize for Literature for his extensive contributions to world literature and for his "rationality and humanity, as a fearless champion of free speech and free thought in the West." It is sad to know that the books written by Bertrand Russell have been listed too in Vatican's Index of Prohibited Books. To think that this is the same Bertrand Russell who is known throughout the world for his messages in his struggle for world sanity: "RENOUNCE WAR OR PERISH! "WORLD PEACE OR UNIVERSAL DEATH! "REMEMBER YOUR HUMANITY, AND FORGET THE REST!" "WE ARE ALL BORN IGNORANT, NOT STUPID. WE ARE MADE STUPID BY EDUCATION!" Poch Suzara

Free Will - something partial, not total

"God chooses WHAT we go through; we choose HOW we go through it." - Philippine Star, March 26, 2012. I said it before, I say it again: There is no such thing as FREE WILL. If there is, it is something partial, not total. In the meantime, one would think that God has far more important things to do with his time and energy than to choose WHAT we must go through in life! Oh God, dear God, please WAKE UP! Do you really that excited over infantile pursuits? Poch Suzara

Human Intelligence greater than Hope

"The youth is the hope of our future," Rizal steadfastly believed. With due respect to and admiration for our Jose Rizal, may I however, add: Yes, the youth seriously educated in grade school, high school, and in college to learn the values of science and the power behind the scientific way of thinking. In this way, our youth will be far more constructive in the development of our land than all nonsense behind the silly religious hope of our future going on in our country ever since Christianity arrived into our shores some 400 years ago..

After all, far greater than hope is the development of human mind and heart, indeed, the power of new and fresh ideas - which is what, in brief, what the scientific way of thinking is all about! Poch Suzara

Leprosy Still Existing in the World Today

Here is an example of a Revealed Truth written by inspired authors of God in some 27 different bible versions - the Word of God. It reveals how Jesus Christ cured Leprosy and other diseases. Could any of you faithful believers explain in this forum just how TRUTHFUL is this sick garbage since leprosy and other diseases are still horrors in Filipino life today in the Philippines - the only Jesus country in Asia today since the 16th century: New International Version Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. New Living Translation Jesus reached out and touched him. "I am willing," he said. "Be healed!" And instantly the leprosy disappeared. English Standard Version And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. New American Standard Bible Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

War as Big Business for the USA

The U.S. government goes to war against foreign countries like Iraq, and the US soldier faces adversaries with weapons or military technology that read: "Made in America." The widening WAR ON TERRORISM and accelerating weapons sales to coalition partners will only increase the likelihood of the boomerang effect that will continue to haunt Americans at home and American citizens living abroad. Meanwhile, the weapons for the "War against Terrorism" was called the "WAR AGAINST COMMUNISM decades ago before Communism collapsed.

Sons of God

Genesis 6:1-2 When the daughters of men were born, The Sons of God saw how beautiful they were and took for their wives as many as they chose.

So - The Biblical God had Sons!!! If the Bible is "God's word" and "God's word" says the Sons of God - then Jesus Christ was NOT God's only son.

Genesis 6:3 God's spirit shall not always strive with man because he is flesh, yet, man shall live 120 years. What? God will eventually desert man? In 1900 AD, the average life-span of human beings in the United States of America was 47.3 years. Then, in 1995, it was 76.3 years. Jeannie Calment of France died in 1997 at 121 years of age. With extreme exception, how can the Bible be considered accurate?

Genesis 6:4 The Titans (the fallen ones) were on Earth in those days and also later. The sons of God had come on to the daughters of man and had fathered them. The Titans were the mightiest ones who ever existed, men of renown.

Who were God’s sons, the Titans? Did they turn against God? Did that cause them to be the fallen ones? Does this explain where Cain’s wife, maybe a fallen one, came from?

Genesis 6:4 The Sons of God had intercourse with the daughters of man who bore them sons. What? Whew! No kidding?

Sons of God? Does God, have gender, sex organs? The Sons of God obviously had sex organs to have intercourse with human women? If they were God's son's, did God have sex organs also? Are these God’s sexually transmitted sons, or is God a hermaphrodite? Did God have sex with one female or many females to produce these sons? Oh, what to believe?

This is too sensitive for one to discuss, you say? Why is that? God said: Behold the man has become as one of us… God is talking to whom? His sons, the fallen sons? They took as many human women as they could? Who said God created man because He was all alone in the universe? Was the Biblical God a dysfunctional father concerning His Heavenly family? Couldn’t God get along with His Own family, that He sired? Did God’s Sons rape unwilling women with God’s consent? Did His sons have a falling out with God? If God’s Sons did improper acts with these women, what does that say about God’s upbringing skills concerning His Own offspring?Is this all more than you want to know? Is your desire for knowledge and facts stronger than your fear of some questions?

In a Satan story, Satan and 1/3rd of the Angels fell from Heaven, then was God only 2/3rds popular in Heaven? How can that be? Is that the Almighty Model that believers worship today?

God, clergy boasts, can hold up to any question; but, can clergy?

Believer: I don't want to ask certain questions or to know certain facts and I don't want you to either. I know that I have the right to know. I just don't want to know - even if it matters. I just want to stop you from doing what you are doing.

Presidents and tyrants get away with heinous, murderous acts due to the same "head in the sand" attitude. To believe: To let others do your thinking and decision-making for you. Do you know any "Ostriches", in denial, with their heads in the sand?

Do you realize the more you hope, the less you are satisfied with the deal God dealt you? The more you pray, the more you are telling God how to do His business. Poch Suzara

Index of prohibited Books

In Germany, Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf was never listed on the Vatican's "Index of Prohibited Books." Hitler, after all, was raised and educated as a Catholic. In the Philippines, however, Jose Rizal's NOLI and FILI were among those listed in the Vatican's "Index of Prohibited Books." Filipino Catholics were not allowed to read Jose Rizal's writings. Jesus Christ, a Jew born in a foreign land, is a greater hero than our own Jose Rizal - a freethinker and a humanist, freedom-fighter - one of the greatest of thinkers this world has ever produced - born in the Philippines.

Ten Commandments For God to Follow

1. Thou shall, in compliance with what is reasonable and just, destroy all faiths claiming to be your true faith. In practice, our faiths have only served as an excuse for our poverty, immaturity, moral bankruptcy, social insanity, and enmity against each other in your name and for your glory. 2. Thou shall destroy the devil once and for all. Your son Jesus failed to destroy him, and failed therefore to wash away the sins of the world. The devil today is the chief consultant of corrupt governments, the chief stimulant of crimes in the private industries, and the chief accountant of the rotten wealth of the organized religions in the Philippines. 3. Thou shall condemn all your TV evangelists, radio ministers, bible preachers, and faith healers. They serve only as your deceivers, mind destroyers, purveyors of myths and falsehoods, and money grabbers. They preach daily to the multitude to be good; unfortunately, only to be good for nothing daily. 4. Thou shall destroy the real enemies of all Filipinos. They can be seen only under a microscope: germs, bacteria, and viruses. Make not diseases infectious; better yet, make health contagious. 5. Thou shall recall the ancient biblical command to go forth and multiply. It has already been achieved on this earth a century ago. In the Philippines, it has been overachieved so much so that due to the uncontrolled population growth, this “Pearl of the Orient” is now famous as the “Payatas of the Orient.” 6. Thou shalt stop the Pinay’s dehydrated brains draining down to her bulging boobs. Instead, dare them to develop their brains, their husband’s, their children’s, and the brains of their favorite Jesuit advisers, fortune tellers, and the brains of their sweethearts as officials in government. In this way, the Pinays can become not only beautiful creatively, not only attractive socially, but mainly productive nationally. 7. Thou shall stop the Pinoy’s degrading their chief hero with a total retraction frame-up to this day! Make them embrace Rizal as the church martyred scientist-humanist that he was. Who aimed at redeeming our minds damaged by indoctrination and who aimed at enriching our hearts impoverished by biblical revelation. 8. Thou shall enthrone science, ethical reason, and independent critical thinking as the unifying basic aim of education. It’s the only infallible way towards our intellectual growth as a people and scientific development as a nation. 9. Thou shall awaken all Filipinos to the love of reading books on science and its aim to heighten our national I.Q. for the purpose of improving the quality of life in this country. Inspire the Filipino to love this life, but let it be guided with the power of knowledge. Forget free will; instead, for the sake of peace and harmony, health and sanity in the Philippines, make the Filipino love and appreciate good will. I0. God, Allah, Buddha, Brahma, Krishna, El Shaddai, Vishnu, Bathala, Yahweh, Elohim, or whatever else believers call you, come down to earth! Live with us humans. Share with us our hopes and dreams of a better humanity. Write clearly your own holy book. Organize your own religion and please establish your own government. So over them and with them, we are confused no more, we suffer no more, we fear no more, we hate no more, and we to go to war no more. Or else, your existence is nothing but the glorification of our own fears, ignorance, and superstitions forever more. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Good Lord God - What a Farce, a Fraud, and a Ceremony

After God created everything as told in the bible, God said it was "Good." Unfortunately, God was not that serious when he said that; he was just kidding. He was sorry for the horrors of His creation in the beginning. In Genesis 6:6, it says: The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled." And so, God decided to bring in the Great Flood to drown everybody to death except Noah and his family of 8 people. But before the Great Flood came God told Noah to built an Ark. God most likely said: "NEVER MIND LOVING YOUR STUPID NEIGHBORS! JUST SAVE THE ANIMALS. TWO OF EACH!" Such is the GOD we were all taught in our schools, colleges, and universities - to believe, love, worship, and have faith in. Specially as Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara

Where is God

For Jaime Calero:

Have you already forgotten what our silly La Salle teachers taught us to believe and to have faith in? that God is everywhere! That God is here, is there, and is everywhere! That God is omni-present!

Insanity Behind Christianity

The clearest definition of INSANITY 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 Thus, we Filipinos famous as we are throughout the world as the Sick Man of Asia continue to be the masters of INSANITY as we are, in blind faith, the faithful victims of CHRISTIANITY since the 16th century. Look how we all have been educated to love only Jesus up there and hate each other down here? In the meantime, the Catholic Vatican Bank is getting richer and more powerful than the Federal bank of the United States of America! Poch Suzara

Adam and Eve had no Free Will

Men have the FREE WILL to freely choose a wife to love for themselves. Women have the FREE WILL to freely choose a husband to love for themselves. Poor Adam and Eve. Obviously, neither had the FREE WILL to choose a spouse because, whether they liked it or not, they were stuck with each other not due to FREE WILL, but because of GOD'S WILL. Free Will is a MYTH! 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 they want to be born a girl or a boy, or want to be born in expensive clean villages or in the dirty slums located around the Manila Cathedral; 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 neither free nor is it a will. It is nothing but a sick joke at its best; a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony at its worst. Poch Suzara, Google# Facebook# Twitter#

Frightened Believers

Frightened believers tell me that they believe in God because it "gives life meaning"and that God loves me as He created me! Well, during my youthful years, I too believed in God. However, I hardly felt life's meaning; on the contrary, I felt the burden of guilt that crippled my mind and heart. The terror made me live uselessly like a frightened subservient moron. I only loved divinity up there. I did not give a hoot for humanity nor had I any kind of love for my country down here. Under the influence of great fear, like a good soldier, I had the courage to die gallantly in battle; but I had no courage at all to question what it was really that I will die for. In brief, on all the important subjects - I was educated to never think for myself. In fact, I was warned to read not the bible. Well, I did and began to see slowly and to learn gradually the lies and deceptions - the illusion, confusion, and delusion that characterizes Filipino life spiritually impoverished in the Philippines. In the ultimate analysis, I managed, somehow, to save myself from being just another Sick Man of Asia. Indeed, at the age of 14 I slowly began to appreciate not only the sanity, but also the beauty and the dignity behind atheism. For the most part, we live in a world of extreme poverty, hunger, and preventable diseases. Today, in this already 21st century, more than 800 Million people are still without access to safe drinking water, and more than 1 Billion people live without sanitation facilities. And to think that the bible says proudly that "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have life everlasting." John 3:16 Well, I asked it before, I ask it again of God: WHY NOT JUST SIMPLY LOVE OUR WORLD WITHOUT THE BULLSHIT STRING ATTACHED TO SUCH LOVE? REALLY GOD, WHAT'S THE BIG FUCKING DEAL ABOUT LIFE AFTER DEATH IN HEAVEN? WHEN WE HUMANS HAVE YET TO LIVE THE PRECIOUS LIFE AFTER BIRTH ON THIS EARTH? Poch Suzara

We Filipinos are still colonized by the Powers-that-be

The poorest people in Asia are the Filipinos. Spiritually, morally, politically, and technologically. In this day and age, we still believe those dumbstruck missionaries who taught us to love and to fear their God Jesus who was not even born in the Philippines, but born supposedly in a foreign Jewish State that never developed to be a Christian country. It is still a Jewish country. Thus, we Filipinos are not the masters, but the silly victims of big business more known as the spread of God's Word. No doubt, we need radical reforms to reform our sick society. However, for as long there is always available from God the forgiveness of sin and the forgiveness of crime, our sick society will forever remain sick under the blessings of a Christian divinity. Consider the rich sinners and the wealthy criminals comprising the powers-that-be: they are always enjoying the forgiveness of sin and crime from the holy spirit. By way of gratitude, they always declare openly, if not publicly that God has always blessed the Filipinos, has always blessed the Philippines. What a crock of lies and deceptions; if not a charade, nay, a parade of delusions, illusions, and confusion! For my part, I thanked the holy spirit that I am a heretic daily, an infidel weekly, a freethinker monthly, and indeed, an atheist yearly. Poch Suzara

The God we Love, Worship, and Have Faith in

After God created everything as told in the bible, God said it was "Good." Unfortunately, God was not serious when he said that; he was just kidding. He was sorry for his boobos of creation in the beginning.

Overpopulation, Malnutritiion, and Illitercy

Overpopulation in the Philippines means that the number of Filipinos have already surpassed the economic basis for providing them with adequate food, housing, and meaningful leisure such as thinking rationally, and fucking recklessly to produce more babies for the nation needlessly. Moreover, overpopulation is forcing a fantastic rise in malnutrition and illiteracy. In the ultimate analysis, overpopulation is not only a problem of people against more people but especially the problem of more people against the environment and natural resources such as land getting less and less available for planting rice, corn, wheat, coconut, and vegetables; but land getting more and more of a necessity for housing projects to house more people!

Efficient Court Proceedings

Criminal and civil cases in our courts drag on for years and years simply because the judges, under the inspiration and leadership of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Renato Corona, are busy out of court buying properties here, there, and everywhere in the Philippines.

We, Atheists

We atheists stand for inquiry and doubt. We stand for logic and sound empirical method. We stand for things capable of sorting true facts from what is false, to every reasonable person's satisfaction. We stand for the humility to admit ignorance, and the wisdom to assume not too much, as well as the consequent political reality that finding common ground and negotiating differences is far wiser, and better for all, than maintaining adamant opposition on matters that do not even warrant an adamant opinion in the first place. We stand for reason as justification for inquiry rather than belief. We stand for happiness, and the understanding and accomplishment that are needed to achieve it. Above all, we atheist stand for being a hero to himself and his fellow humans, rather than to a villain. When the reasons for these values are truly understood, any man would hold on to them and keep them, even if god himself appeared and ended all dispute as to his existence. Indeed, an atheist ought to live his life so he can say with all sincerity, "even if God's existence were proven, I would change only my understanding of the facts, and not the values by which I guide my conduct and thought as a man living the good life - one inspired by the love of life, and guided by the joys of more learning via the pursuit of more knowledge. Indeed, we atheists are inspired not by infantile believing but by endless questioning to promote intelligent and honest thinking. It is, in this way, in the end, that we atheists die sober, and not drunk with lies.

Hitler's Holocaust in Germany - a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY

The Holocaust was a tragic event in history. Approximately 11 million lives were lost because of cruel racial prejudice. During the first half of the 20th century, the Nazi party, led by Adolf Hitler, ( a Catholic ) encouraged prejudice against Jews and other "undesirables" such as gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, or physically disabled; those not of the "Aryan" race. The Nazis developed "The Final Solution", a plan to get rid of all the Jews. They decided the most efficient way of doing this was to set up camps to exterminate their existence so they would not pass on their genes and disrupt the Nazis' quest for the perfect race. The Nazis also set up ghettos, where Jews would live in the most horrible conditions. Jewish children soon could not go to schools with the other German children. Jewish businesses were forced to close, Jewish temples were burned and vandalized. Though the Nazis did not achieve their goal, they managed to kill 5-6 million Jews (and a further 5 million other victims) in cruel, sadistic, inhumane acts and murders. Remember these Jewish people were God's Chosen people and so, how come God, always omni-present, did not bother to save his Chosen people?

In the meantime, Adolf Hitler, raised as a Catholic, wrote in his famous book MEIM KAMPF: I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.( PAGE 65) Poch Suzara

Life's Inspiration in the Holy Bible

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT: “… The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation… which will plague you until you perish…”
Deuteronomy 28:22

LIFE'S INSPIRATION IN THE NEW TESTAMENT: "For God soloved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

more inspiration from Jesus - God's only Begotten Son, crucified on a cross, cried out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" Matthew 27:46

More Inspiration from Jesus, Sweet Jesus: "If any man come to me and hate NOT his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26

Jesus Was a Failure and a Loser

Jesus chose twelve losers and failures of His the community to help him save the world. They were called “apostles” who, even with the power of God behind them, never succeeded to straighten out the mess even of their own community. In fact, when the Word of Jesus arrived in the Philippines, Filipinos began to believe and have to faith as the Sick Man of Asia. In the meantime, Jesus was not invited to a banquet to celebrate the success of his life and work. On the contrary, He was arrested, tried, and crucified on the cross. Indeed, crucified by saps - the same saps who were created in the image and likeness of His own Father - God. Thus, nailed to a cross dying, Jesus cried out loud: "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" When it comes to divine failures – Jesus is the answer. In the meantime, Generations have passed and there is yet not a sign that Jesus is returning. Nevertheless, if Jesus arrives, it is most probable that his twelve apostles won’tbe coming along with him. They were all frightened cowards in the eyes of Jesus. Consider the two sick criminals crucified along side Him. Jesus promised one eternal salvation for believing in Him. A promise He never made to any of His twelve apostles. But then again, in the ultimate analysis, why would Jesus bother to return when clearly in John 18:36: Jesus bragged: “My kingdom is not of this world.” Poch Suzara

Old Age in the Old testament

Julius Caesar introduced a new calendar in 46 B.C. to incorporate Leap Days as part of the reform, that year's calendar included 445 days making it known as "THE YEAR OF CONFUSION." In the meantime, Consider time in the bible. There was yet no hours, days, weeks, months, and no years. There was no calender existing. But God inspired his authors to write the number of long years these poor saps lived and died: Genesis 5:1 God made man in His likeness. Does this explained man’s immortality? Genesis 5:5 Adam died at 930 years of age. Genesis 5:8 Seth died at 912 years of age. Genesis 5:11 Enosh died at 905 years of age. Genesis 5:14 Kenan died at 910 years of age. Genesis 5:17 Mahalalel died at 895 years of age. Genesis 5:20 Yered died at 962 years of age. Genesis 5:23 Enoch died at 365 years of age. Genesis 5:27 Methuselah died at 969 years of age. Genesis 5:31 Lamech died at 777 years of age. Trivia: Noah died at 950 years of age. Shem died at 600 years of age. Terach died at 205 years of age. Abraham died at 175 years of age. Isaac died at 180 years of age. Jacob died at 147 years of age. Moses died at 120 years of age. Genesis 5:24 Enoch walked with God and he was not; for God took him. Enoch walked with God clearly implies he did not die like Elijah did not die in Kings 2:11. Enoch and Elijah went to heaven without dying? Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken so that he should not see death… Note. The Talking Serpent (devil) never died. For the glory of God, the devil is still pretty much alive existing in the Philippines popularly known as a well-respected and highly admired politician in the government. Poch Suzara

War, Religion, and Politics

"It would be almost unbelievable, if history did not record the tragic fact, that men have gone to war and cut each other's throats because they could not agree as to what was to become of them after their throats were cut." - - - Walter P. Stacy If I may add, however, war has always been made possible with insane politics always in cahoots with insane religion inextricably mixed historically together. In the ultimate analysis, wars have mostly been not about good versus evil; but about evil versus evil. Evil always won and the victorious always thanked God for granting them victory! - - - Poch Suzara

70 year old Physicist STEPHEN HAWKING has survived with a motor neurone
disease that kills 90 % of people in less than decade since he was diagnosed at the age of 21. Believe It or Not, Philippine Star, March 12, 2012

If I may add, Physicist Stephen Hawking is one of most fortunate, if not one of the luckiest men of science. As a boy in his formative years, his parents never enrolled him in a Catholic school. There to also get his mind damaged and his heart crippled as a human being to learn to be just another sick man of this world who has nothing going for him except the Catholic promise that there is a better world to come after death.

Please Forgive my Father God

The Son of God Jesus, crucified on the cross, cried out loud: 'MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?" According to Matthew 27:46 But according to Luke 23:34 - Jesus cried softly with these words: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." " Now I ask: could you, my dear reader, imagine Jesus, while crucified on the cross, pleaded more sensibly: "MAN, PLEASE FORGIVE GOD, MY FATHER, FOR HE KNOWS NOT WHAT HE IS DOING!"

Who Cares Who Wrote the Bible

Does it really matter if the bible was written by God or written by inspired authors of God since neither God nor his authors knew exactly what they were doing or talking about?

For example, in the Old Testament, God had sons and daughters. In the New Testament God had Jesus - his one and only begotten son.

The bible is mostly about holy lies and sacred deceptions; in brief, mostly about ancient holy garbage to impress the superstitious primitives of the ancient world. Poch Suzara

Original Sin or Orignal Booboos

And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at

God decides: Except for (8 people) Noah, his wife, his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth and their wives Who? Who? and Who? and some of each kind of animals (including descendants of the Talking serpents?) God would murder every living thing.

Dust Thou Art as Written in the Sick holy Bible.

The bible clearly states: “From dust thou art, and from dust thou shall return.” . . . Well, if we came from dust, and unto dust we shall return, and God made man in his own image and likeness, then God must be made of dust too. . . No wonder, God is everywhere, just like dust is everywhere too. In the meantime, isn't it rather foolish to pray to a piece of dust for the salvation of souls made of dust too? . . . The same sick bible tells us: "The living know they shall die; and the dead know not anything, neither have they anymore a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." Eccl. 9:5... and here is more sick nonsense from Jesus himself who obviously never seriously read the the bible. He said to the thief crucified along side him: "Verily, I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." Luke 23:43. What a lucky thief. He ended up in the Philippines as a thief installed in the Philippine government as our sick, greedy, and corrupt politicians in the government are all MAKA-DIOS and MAKA-JESUS! . . .

God's Love for Americans and Filipinos

This is the difference between love of God for Americans in America, and the love of God for Filipinos in the Philippines:

In America, there exists more than 50 million "garbage disposal machines" that eat up better, more nutritious, left-over food discarded away from American tables.

In the Philippines, more than 50 million of us Filipinos live so poorly that we have nothing going for us except the promise of the Catholic Church that there is a better world to come after we are all dead, buried, and gone. Poch Suzara

Truth as a Bottomless Abyss

"The truth is at the bottom of the abyss," said Democritus, the Greek thinker. I would like to add, "but the abyss is bottomless." Whatever the case may be, when it comes to the truth of the existence of God,
it is not a knowable issue. But if we cannot know God at all, how can we be truthful that the God we love, worship, and adore is a Catholic, Jewish, or a Muslim God? In the meantime, the universe is a mystery. Why therefore should we trouble
our brains by inventing another mystery to explain the existence of the universe? The universe is a knowable entity. More and more each day science is discovering the real nature of the existence of the universe. We know more today than our grandparents knew yesterday. Our grandchildren tomorrow will now more than we know today as their grandparents. In the meantime, Japanese Zen Buddhist monk Nanrei Kobori explained it simply without the complexity of a mystery: "GOD IS AN INVENTION OF MAN. SO THE NATURE OF GOD IS ONLY A SHALLOW MYSTERY. THE DEEP MYSTERY IS THE NATURE OF MAN." Poch Suzara

Republic Act 1425 or the Rizal Law

I am told that I am a silly man because I am highly critical of our system of education and yet, at the same time, as I have also the greatest respect and admiration for Dr. Jose Rizal, I ignore the fact the Rizal himself was a product of Ateneo and the University of Santo Thomas.

I asked: So how come when it came to banned books to read due to the Index
Librorum Prohibitorum promulgated by the Catholic church, Ateneo and UST were the among the first and best universities in the Philippines to ban reading Dr. Jose Rizal's NOLI ME TANGERE and FILIBUSTERISMO?

So much so that for the purpose of honoring our hero Jose Rizal and his writings, Republic Act 1425, the Rizal law, was legislated by Congress to make the books written by Rizal required reading in all schools, colleges, and universities like Ateneo and UST! Poch Suzara

More FUN and SAFE in the Philippines

Listen to Jesus and what He publicly declared in the bible as reported by Luke 14:26: - "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Now take a closer look at us Filipinos as the Sick Man of Asia in the Philippines existing in this only Jesus country in Asia. As products of a Christian system of education - look how we have been taught to be God-fearing; how to have faith in the future rewards in heaven if we were obedient; or, future punishment in hell if we were disobedient. Look how we pray daily to Jesus for guidance in our economical, political, commercial, cultural, religious, and social life. We believe that such an arrangement is more than enough to insure peace, security, and tranquility; indeed, more than enough for law and order to prevail so that we may enjoy more productivity, more efficiency, and mor employment opportunities in our own country. And yet look again at the reality transpiring daily in our sick society. We have security guards posted here, there, and everywhere to insure security and safety. We have security guards posted in government buildings, in churches and cathedrals, in private and government banks, in hospitals, medical clinics, grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls, jewelry stores, airports, harbors, residential buildings, commercial edifices, plushed villages like San Lorenzo, Bel Air, Dasmarinas, Forbes Park, Ayala land, in hotels, motels, massage parlors, barber shops, museums, bus and train stations, and indeed, security guards posted at the entrances of schools, colleges, and universities. Now we are told that the love our neighbor as a public spectacle around us is simply because of, if not due to, the historical fact we are a HAPPY people, that it is MORE FUN AND SAFE IN THE PHILIPPINES - the one and only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century? Is it any wonder that the chief of police has all the pleasure of time and opportunities to also enrich himself like those already filthy rich in the government?

I Welcome Life After Death to Meet Jesus

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” ― Mark Twain

If I may add, for my part, I do not fear death and I hope there is life after death. I would like to meet with Jesus, sitting in between God and Satan. I'd like to tell Jesus to his face that he has been a worthless Savior of Filipinos as a people. As
much as His father in partner with Satan have both been great success in keeping the Philippines historically crippled as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara

The Fools, the Hypocrites, and the Frightened

The Christian god is a three-headed monster; cruel, vengeful, and capricious...One only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites. Thomas Jefferson, 3rd US President (1743-1826) If I may add, in the Philippines, aside from the fools and hypocrites, there are also the faithfully frightened. Millions of them, with college education, who would rather serve the Son of God Jesus first than serve, if at all, our country. Among them are senators, congressmen, governors, mayors, and top lawyers and court judges of our country who see to it that the separation between State and Church in the Philippines stays integrated secretly and profitably, only separated for the gullible consumption publicly. In the meantime, in our schools, colleges, and universities, there are a set of religious commandments, or moral writings, which teach that virtue is the way towards eternal salvation; vice is the way towards eternal damnation. Really authoritative doctrines, to which I have but one objection; namely, they are all utterly worthless; especially if we ever hope to create and to spread common Filipino decency as the standard of human life, here and now, in our own country.

Only 144,000 will be Chosen

If God created man gifted with a free will, and free will have turned out to be just as messy as divine will, then maybe God should have already ceased creating man in his own image and likeness. After all, according to the bible, in the end, “the many are called, but only the few are chosen.” Well, according to the bible, only 144,000 will be the chosen ones, all of them Jews. NO mention of Pinoys or Pinays to be included.

And to think that more than 100 BILLION people have already lived and died on this earth since the days of Adam and Eve created naked together with their pet snake, a Talking Serpent - created also naked but gifted too with free will by God! Poch Suzara

Fuck Dying, Fuck Death

“Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion . . . Why don't we celebrate living, instead of worrying about damnation and sin?” Ed Schempp, acceptance speech as Humanist of the Year, awarded by The American Humanist Association, 1996 If I may add, indeed, why even worry about dying since the day we are born in this world is the day we begin to live in a dying body! Short, brief, and fleeting as human life is on this piece of dust called "earth" floating aimlessly in space and going no where in time? In the meantime, if we must leave this world one day, let try to leave this world as a better place than how we originally found it. Not necessarily in the material, but in the humanitarian sense.

Who or what Creator

Which creation story do you believe written in the holy bible: the one starting at Genesis 1:1 and ending at Genesis 1:31 or do you believe the other creation story at Genesis 2:4 through 25? Since they are different from each other, why bother to believe either story? Since there is a third story!

In his BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME, Scientists Stephen Hawking wrote: "So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither

Our Good for Nothing Politicians

If I may add, in the Philippines, under our democracy, and due to the horrors of our formative years in grade school, then high school, then college - our politicians are all good; unfortunately, for growth as a people and for maturity as a nation - good for nothing; especially for the glory of God in heaven.

What I Resent Even more Bitterly

"Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly." Isaac Asimov. Oh my dear Asimov, this is what I personally resent even more bitterly: the atheists always afraid to take a stand against harm. They are afraid because their wives or mothers, sons or daughters, friends and relatives and other business associates will discover that they are in fact more well-read, more well-informed, and, indeed, more well- educated. And so, like a bunch of polite cowards, they hide their intelligence inside the closet. They would rather allow human stupidity to go marching on and on giving religion more power to endlessly support historical insanity. I said it before, I say it again: we atheists have nothing to fear. After all, we have something precious in common with scientists together. We think it most noble in this life to shatter false beliefs, false values, and false teachings. Indeed, atheists are not destroyers of the world. Scientists are not the conquerors of the world. We are the thinkers and the liberators of humankind in this world. Poch Suzara

Lonely People, Alvin Toffler, and Bertrand Russell

"The hurt of being alone, is , of course, hardly new. But loneliness is now so widespread it has become, paradoxically, a shared experience. . . They hunger for institutions worthy of their respect, affection, and loyalty. . .For lonely people, cults offer, in the beginning, indiscriminate friendship . . . A cult, however, sells community, structure, and meaning at any extremely high price: the mindless surrender of the self. For some, no doubt this is the only alternative to personal disintegration. But for most of us the cult's way out is too costly." Alvin Toffler, author, The Third Wave My mentor - Bertrand Russell, as a lonely man during his younger years, had a creative way out. He searched for the truth via mathematics, philosophy, logic, science, physics, sociology, anthropology, history, war, peace, and in the human family. But unlike many great and lonely people, however, Bertrand Russell cultivated a rather self-conscious sensitivity to the troubles of others. Bertrand Russell wrote: "The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. What the world needs now is not only love but the greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all its complexity." For my part, as a happily and creatively lonely man myself, more than Jesus and his apostles in hell, more than all the saints blessed together by God in heaven - I'd rather have more love, more respect, more loyalty, and more admiration for Bertrand Russell. He encouraged me to QUESTION EVERYTHING including his logic, mathematics, indeed - his philosophy. As he wrote it himself: "Truth is a shinning goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of all the devotion of which the human spirit is capable." Poch Suzara

God Forsaking Himself on the Cross

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

If this were true, how come God's only begotten Son, crucified on a cross by
a bunch of lunatics, Jesus cried out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?" Mark 15:34

Is this an example of a Revealed Truth: God so loved the world but that he
couldn't care less about his only begotten son Jesus being bullied on the cross
by a gang of lunatics?

In the meantime, Jesus declares in John 10:30 -“I and the Father are one.” I asked it before, I ask it again: was it the greatest miracle ever - God crucified on the cross able to forsake himself? Poch Suzara

Bribery and Vote Market

Far more destructive than the bribe-giver is not only the bribe-taker, but also the bribe-fixer. It is one of the courses offered in Catholic universities. Of course it is not called "bribery." It has a more sophisticated term. It is more known as "college degrees." Then we also have such business ventures like vote buying and vote selling in the vote market arena. It is more known as "general elections" to prove that there exist freedom and democracy in our blessed by God country historically proud of Christianity. Poch Suzara

Successful Failure in Life

Success is what most people settle for when they cannot think of something great or noble enough to be failing at. As for me, since I am always in search of the truth, I do not mind at all that I am such a failure in life. Although I am, indeed, happy and proud to be a successful failure

"The death sentence is a necessary and efficacious means for the church to attain its ends when obstinate heretics disturb the ecclesiastical order." Pope Leo X111 ( Vincenzo Pecci ) Italian Pope 1878-1903 If I may add, the arrest, incarceration, and public execution of our Jose Rizal in 1896 was precisely one necessary and efficacious means of the church in maintaining ecclesiastical order in the Philippines. The church even lied to its teeth. She continues to teach via its schools, colleges, and universities that hours before Rizal was shot to death, he "retracted." Thus, he died not as a heretic but as a penitent Catholic. Oh yes, already dead, Jose Rizal was never given a Catholic burial. His corpse was just put inside an old sack and then brought and thrown into a hole inside Paco Cemetery. Ineed, how come Rizal a DEAD CATHOLIC was not given proper CATHOLIC BURIAL? In the meantime, millions upon millions of us Filipinos would rather look up with love and respect and adoration a Jewish savior known as Jesus Christ.

The Forgiveness of Corruption by God

There is corruption among the rich. There is corruption among the poor. Now it is difficult to say who among the rich and who among the poor is not as corrupt as the rest of us. One thing, however, we can all find easy to agree with. Corruption as a way of life in our corrupt society can only be the corrupt result of our corrupt system of education. After all, it is only in our schools, colleges, and universities where we are taught to believe and to have faith in the teachings of our church: that no matter what, there is always available at the any time from God - the forgiveness of our sins and crimes. Indeed, especially the forgiveness of corruption as the basis of our way of daily life in this only Catholic country in Asia. All we need to do is to repent. And we are assured that we can continue to commit more sins and more crimes in the days ahead.

Christianity - the Real Mess in the Philippines

If Christianity has miserably failed to straighten out the mess in this world given more than 2,000 years of opportunities, how could Christianity not also fail miserably to straighten out the mess in the Philippines given more than 400 years of opportunities? Well, not surprisingly, the truth has finally emerged. It turns out that the mess in this world and the mess in the Philippines got messier because of the lies and deceptions more known as "Christianity" to begin with. In this already 21st century, it is time for Christianity to clean up its own mess... She should stop pretending that she has Jesus as the way, the life, and the truth on her side. Indeed, as a matter of historical fact, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD IS A LIE: Jesus as the Savior of the world was failure and a loser! Indeed, crucified on a cross, Jesus should have acted as his own Savior to begin with and NOT cry out loud: MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME? Poch Suzara

War against Christianity

The trouble with the war against poverty is that there seems to be no end to it. Human misery is never defeated. In fact, thanks to the pretentious drama of the rich Filipinos waging a so-called war against poverty – poor people of our country are multiplying and replenishing at the rate of almost two million babies yearly. Thanks
to Catholic teachings via its schools, such as: “blessed are the poor in spirit, for they shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

I said it before, I say it again: it is time, for the sake of the economy, and especially for the sake of the environment and social sanity, that we should, instead, wage a silly war not against poverty, but a serious war against the teachings of the Catholic church that continues to maintain the wealth, power,

The Evils of Christianity and its Teachings

"Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity.

THOMAS JEFFERSON If I may add, in the Philippines, only the esoteric few are fully aware that our Jose Rizal, aside from being our national hero, was also the greatest heretic our country has ever produced. Indeed, Jose Rizal was arrested, incarcerated, and publicly executed by the greatest enemy of the Philippines then and now - Christianity and its teachings. As I am myself a publicly-declared and openly-avowed Filipino heretic, I say to Jose Rizal, wherever you are - my dear sir: I dare admit that your destroyer - our enemy - Christianity is still pretty much with us. More powerful and harmful than ever. Still in authority teaching us Filipinos to be faithless to our growth as a people; and, indeed, to be faithless to our development as a nation.

Man's Endless Search of the Truth

"The comforts that we enjoy are entirely the results of man’s wisdom. They did not come about from reading the Bible or praying to God." Farell Till (Former clergyman)

If I may add, the realities we enjoy are entirely due to man's endless search of the truth. For example, in astronomy, the planet earth is now viewed as a tiny speck in a great cosmos - less noteworthy than a single grain of sand in the Sahara Desert. Poch Suzara

The Truth Hurts

Oh yes, indeed, the truth hurts; but lies are far more damaging and can last for a thousand years. Sadly, due to our sick system of education, college-educated men and women of our country treat lies as something sane and delightful; while the truth as something insane and despicable. Take the GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD - that the Son of God Jesus came down to earth from heaven to save mankind has turned out to be the greatest LIE ever told. Look closer at how such a LIE has damaged historically the growth of the Filipino as a people; and has retarded the development of the Philippines as a nation. We have not ceased wasting time and energy living faithfully in fear of divine grace for the sake of our own disgrace as a frightened member of the human race. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Bible Vulgar Messages

Whenever I see a holy bible displayed in a book shelf in a home or inside an office, I immediately know that book has not been thoroughly read nor seriously understood at all. A properly read bible belongs in a garbage dump. No other book has done more harm to the human mind and to the human heart, indeed, no other books has done more damage to a whole country like the Philippines and its culture than the silly lessons, vulgar messages, holy lies, sacred deceptions, contradictions, inconsistencies, obscenities, cruelties, atrocities, and absurdities found in the holy Bible as written by superstitious primitives otherwise more known as the inspired authors of God. There is not one page found in the holy bible that encourages the reader to THINK and to QUESTION EVERYTHING - the very foundation that develops the human capacity via the growth of human intelligence.

No lies are Allowed in Science

Dirty politics is exactly like dirty religion: both are generated by dirty lies. In this connection, it is more precious to embrace science, especially the scientific way of thinking. Its values are based on the search of the truth while it debunks religious lies on the one side, and debunks political lies on the other side. No doubt, science is the greatest of man's inventions. Surely, it has its faults; but science is a self-correcting enterprise. The only truth that science recognizes is that there are no sacred truths. Poch Suzara

Vulgar Language versus Vulgar Vaues and beliefs

My Dear Helen, "If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane." - - - Robert Ingersoll Helen, another word for "insane" is THE SICK MAN OF ASIA - the frightened men and women as products of schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic church in the Philippines. Such frightened men and women are more horrified by harmless "vulgar language" than they should be more terrified by harmful "vulgar beliefs and vulgar values" keeping us Filipinos spiritually sick as a people and morally sick as a nation. Consider in this already 21st century. We Filipinos are still educated to believe that among the countries of Asia, the Philippines has been and still is the one and only country in Asia that's always been BLESSED WITH CHRISTIAN VALUES AND BELIEFS by God and his angels in heaven. Best Regards always, Poch

Better to Grow up than to be Born again

My Dear Rev. Ben Rivera, I don't know about you but I was given a great many opportunities to be BORN-again christian. But like any other Filipino gifted by nature with self-respect and dignity as a human being, I decided instead to GROW UP while I search for the truth and not live a life of holy lies or dominated by sacred deceptions unworthy of decent and intelligent Filipinos! Cheers! Poch Suzara

Stupid Beliefs as Products of Stupid Religion

The whole idea behind science is to develop the human mind to THINK. The whole idea behind religion is to control the human mind to BELIEVE. If we Filipinos were sick as a people and even more sick as a nation it is simply because most of our BELIEFS are products of STUPID RELIGION as faithfully indoctrinated into us via a stupid system of education generated in schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated by the Catholic church in the Philippines.

Silly Biblical Miracles

"The most serious doubt that has been thrown on the authenticity of the biblical miracles is the fact that most of the witnesses in regard to them were fishermen. Arthur "Pitcher" Binstead - 1846-1915 - British Journalist "In the Philippines, however, biblical miracles are all known to be historically factual by college-educated Filipinos - the products of Catholic education in La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, Letran, UST, Assumption college, St. Scholastica, Aim, Miriam college, etc, etc; in fact, by more than 2,200 of such schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic church in this only Catholic country in Asia.

Deadly Christian Quote

God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. C.S. Lewis

Mix, however, the three issues inextricably together and they all add up to human stupidity, perpetually, as inspired by a silly divinity, eternally; especially
in the Philippines, the only country in Asia since the 16th century that has been blessed with deviltry behind Christianity. Poch Suzara

We are Born Innocent, not educated

We are a nation with more than a thousand schools, colleges, and universities - mostly own and operated by the Catholic church. Hardly therefore a dozen educated Filipinos. Consider the average Filipino with a college education in our country. He has a better chance to arrive at a high government office if he achieves first a reputation in mediocrity. His main function in government moreover, is to serve the rulers and deceived the ruled. It is, in this way, as citizens of our own Repulic, indeed, as products of our schools, colleges, and universities - we have little sense of civility. We hardly have love for our country instilled into us; instead, during our formative years in school, what is entrusted into our minds and hearts is more love and respect, indeed, more faith in divinity otherwise more known as CHRISTIANITY. Thus, in our own country, it is more nationalistic to declare that we are, first and foremost - Catholics, or Aglipays, or member of the El Shadai, or member of the Jesus is our Lord movement, or member of the Mormon church, etc; hardly, however, are we ever proudly to identify ourselves as Filipinos - citizens of the Republic of the Philippines.

Stupid Victims of Religion

Letter to the Editors:

Published today, Feb. 6, 2012, in the Philippine Star, Ripley's BELIEVE IT OR NOT series: "Thousands of people live among the dead as squatters in the North Cemetery of the Philippines Capital - Manila."

In the meantime, in this already 21st century, it is still taught in our schools, colleges, and universities that to have sex for the sake of pleasure is a sin against God; but to have sex for the sake of making babies is a virtue. Indeed, population growth is good business for the priesthood industry as blessed daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly by God keeping us Filipinos historically ahead but only as the Sick Man of Asia.

Only in the Philippines: poor Filipinos living among the dead in the cemetery is proof enough that a kind and loving God up there does not only provide for the dead, but also provides for the living in the Philippines down here.

I said it before, I say it again: we are NOT the intelligent masters; on the contrary, we are the stupid victims of religion keeping us Filipinos directionless as a people and rudderless as a nation! Poch Suzara

A Man without books is the poorest of Men

Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors, Dear Sirs: As a high school expelled student of some 60 years ago, I read with much pride and gusto the sane letter written by Ryan Maboloc published today in the PDI, Feb. 2, 2012. Indeed, without books a man suffers poverty of the worst kind: the poverty of the mind and heart. I myself have written before - corruption as the foundation of the Filipino way of life comes mostly from our corrupt system of education. Philosopher Bertrand Russell summarized it: "We are all born ignorant, not corrupt. We are made corrupt by education." Cheers, Poch Suzara

Corruption - the Result of our Corrupt System of Education

Corruption in the Philippines in this 21st century? Take a good look at corruption in the Philippines during the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th century. Jose Rizal wrote in 1886: “In the catalogue of human ills there is to be found a cancer so malignant that the least touch inflames it and cause agonizing pains; afflicted with such a cancer, a social cancer, and seeking the best care for your ills, I shall do with you what was done in ages past with the sick. I shall endeavor to show your condition, faithfully and ruthlessly. I shall lift a corner of the veil which shrouds the disease, sacrificing to the truth everything, even self-love – for, as your son, your defects and weaknesses are also mine.” Today in our sick society, millions upon millions of college-educated Pinoys and Pinays hardly know the real Jose Rizal as one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever produced. Under pains of going to hell forever, millions of Filipinos have been frightened to believe that before he was executed by firing squad, as authorized by the power of the Catholic church, - Rizal cried like a little boy, begged to go to confession, heard mass, received communion, and retracted. After which dead, he was not even given a Catholic burial. His remains just put inside an old sack and then thrown in Paco cemetery. I asked it before, I ask it again: do you people see now why as products of schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated by the Catholic church we Filipinos continue to be the victims as well as the masters of CORRUPTION of the worst kind: The CORRUPTION OF THE FILIPINO MIND AS A PEOPLE and the CORRUPTION OF THE FILIPINO HEART AS A NATION.

Our Need for a Savior

It is incredible to believe that in this world of science and technology, indeed, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still so religiously fucked as a people and even more religiously fucked as a nation in that we still are in need of a SAVIOR from out there to save us away from stupid religiosity down here. I asked it before, I ask it again: How long must our corrupt system of education continue to be otherwise known as a Blessing from God? Poch Suzara

Faith-Healers are LIARS

Dear Rev. Ben Rivera,

The FAITH-HEALER IS A LIAR. THE BIGGER LIAR IS THAT ONE WHO CLAIMS HE GOT CURED! The cemetery is full of such dead and buried LIARS.

So, at the age of 30, when you became a Christian, how come you did not grow or changed? How come you remained as a dumbstruck Pinoy mentally crippled as ever? Do you honestly believe Jesus is your SAVIOR - the SAVIOR OF THE SICK MAN OF ASIA?

As for me, I thank God that I managed, somehow, to SAVE my precious mind, not saved my stupid SOUL; especially by getting expelled out of La Salle high school some 60 years ago. Cheers, Poch Suzara

Second Coming of the Jesus Garbage

An abused child quite frequently will grow into being an abusive adult. A frightened child will grow into a frightened adult. In the Philippines we are all born, raised, and educated to believe that the SICK MAN OF ASIA is really another word for having FAITH IN JESUS. Today in this already 21st century, we still have millions of Filipinos looking forward to nothing except the SECOND COMING of Jesus to save the Philippines away from the evils of deviltry as inspired by divinity otherwise more known as CHRISTIANITY.

The Truth about Atheism

My dear Hammad, Since you do not believe in the God of the Christians, that makes you an ATHEIST. Well, since the Christians do not believe in Allah, the God of the Muslims, that makes the Christians ATHEISTS also. Here is another problem for you Christians and Muslims: None of you believe in Yahweh - the God of the Jews. So all of you Muslims, Christians, and Jews are all ATHEISTS. As with me in my simplicity - I am the one and only real ATHEIST in this forum. I do not believe in the God of the Christians, in the God of the Muslims, or in the God of the Jews! As a matter of fact, I do not believe nor do I care to believe in the existence of any other God out there or existing anywhere or everywhere down here! Cheers!

Sick Son of God and Sick God, the Father

A God who allows His own Chosen People on earth to get his only begotten Son crucified on a cross has got to be a SICK God. Such a God should be charged in court for child abuse

For my part, I refuse to believe in such a SICK God as worthy of my love, respect,
and admiration.

In the meantime, for the only begotten Son of God Jesus declaring while crucified
on the cross with words such as "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," has also got to be the Son of a sick God the Father and sick God the mother.

I said it before, I say it again: I AM THE FATHER, GRANDFATHER, and the GREAT- GRANDFATHER of ATHEISM of the Philippines. Any one of you out there having a problem with that, I say: YOU HAVE NO NEED TO FORGIVE ME BECAUSE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING! Poch Suzara

Deadly Christianity

"It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion." Bertrand Russell

If I may add, it is possible that the Philippines can be on the way to achieving the greatest of wealth and the best of health for her people - the Filipinos; but first, she must totally get rid of deadly Christianity out of the way irrevocably and, indeed, permanently. Poch Suzara

Impeachment Trial to defend our culture of Corruption

Only in the Philippines: a top lawyer, an expert on the laws of our land, a person
legally competent, with integrity and probity, and judicially independent gets appointed by the president of our Republic to be country's top magistrate - the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Along the way, however, he is accused of violating public trust, acquiring ill-gotten wealth, failure to disclose to the public his statement of assets and liabilities, etc - in all
8 charges filed against him. Instead of defending himself in the Impeachment trial, he hires a battery of the most expensive lawyers of the land to defend his case. Presumably for the sake of "due process" to defend and protect our culture of corruption, not in aid of new legislation precisely to get rid of corruption out of our sick country. Poch Suzara

It is Time to dump Jesus out of the Philippines

Here's one classic reason why we Filipinos are famous as the Sick Man of Asia, specially as we love, worship, and adore our Jewish Savior, the Son of a Jewish God Jesus - who, instead of revealing to us our purpose in creation and responsibility for our country and its future, declares a lot of holy bible baloney to keep us crippled as a people and troubled as a nation.

Jesus tells us to "take no thought" for anything, "for your Father in heaven knoweth your need before ye ask Him" - a perfect example of that "false security"under which we have lived. This Jesus declaration has no literal meaning nor significance whatsoever, especially for living the good life - one inspired by love and guided by human intelligence.

Yea, let's take no thought for our own welfare and this heavenly Father will let us starve. Take no thought for health and sanitation and we die of this "heavenly Father's" murderous germs, virus, and bacteria. Take no thought for economic justice and we shall remain jobless, pennyless, and worthless. Take no thought for political justice and we have a nation that remains mired in sins and in crimes.

Thought, indeed, the power of thought, is precisely our duty and responsibility as citizens of our own country. Devoid of thought, we have nothing going for us except to wait, like sick men and sick women - for "divine providence."

On the contrary, what we need is human providence: knowledge and intelligence to make right these God-ordained wrongs. We need a real practical beliefs and intelligent social values that will help us help ourselves with pride, self-respect, and dignity. Under these beauties we have a sense of direction as a people and sense of protection of our beloved nation.

The Sacred Beliefs of the Sick Man of Asia

THE SACRED BELIEFS OF THE SICK MAN OF ASIA PROUD OF HIS FREE WILL They believe that human intelligence is always a sin. Human stupidity always a virtue. Though at most times they cannot tell the difference. They do not read the bible; but when they do and cannot make heads or tails of bible verses, they call it - “divine wisdom.” They believe that believing is far more crucial than knowing. In fact, they believe that to be among the silly believers collectively is far more pleasing to a divinity than to be among the intelligent thinkers individually. They believe that to be a “born again” is more pleasing to God especially if one remains a child in a state of chronic dependence and does not have to grow up to become a mature thinking adult. They believe in religion not primarily as a search for philosophical veracity, but as an overwhelming search for an ally in the sky for the sake of emotionally security. They believe that it does not matter what mysterious things one believes for as long as it remains perpetually mysterious. They believe that we have no population problem of 100 million poor Filipinos growing to 200 million poorer Filipinos by the year 2040 because God is good and will always provide for the Philippines. They believe that God inspired the silly authors to write the bible. But that same God could not inspire the stupid theologians to announce to the world at large if the souls of our dead parents, grandparents and other dead loved-ones made it to heaven or are now punished in hell. They believe in the man of faith despite the fact that the man of faith is like a silly drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination They believe in the existence of immortality that consists of a hereafter even if there were no herebefore. Which makes the concept of immortality nothing but a biblical farce, a fraud, and a ceremony. They believe that Jesus died on the cross to destroy the devil. The devil, however, is still alive today employed as chief military adviser of the US government installing the freedom of deviltry in oil-rich countries. They believe that the bible was written by inspired authors of God. Such authors, however, were a bunch of superstitious primitives who did not even know that the earth is round or that it rotates on its own axis while it orbits round the sun. They believe that eating no meat on Good Fridays is a great virtue. But to live like pigs and to think like cows during the rest of the year is the greatest of social values, specially through Christ, our Lord, amen. They believe that if a belief were believed by some 100 million people, it must be a true belief. Never mind even if said belief does not accord with the facts. They believe that after death they will meet with God face to face. As if God has a face and as if the believers themselves will have a face to face anyone after death. They believe practice makes perfect. They therefore practices stupidity daily on this earth so that by the time they get to heaven they will be stupid perfectly. Indeed, “on earth as it is in heaven.” They believe in how to win friends and influence people especially if they were the same religious morons – the stupid teachers - who are the greatest influence on children during the formative years in school. They believe that the atheists are a bunch of worthless and immoral morons. They ignore the historical fact that the atheists have never declared war on other atheists for not believing in the existence of God. They believe that Jose Rizal’s life was not tragic. On the contrary, that it was quite patriotic. Especially since inspired ecclesiastic managed to have him executed as a lunatic since, they claim, despicably, he died in the end as a penitent catholic. Finally, with my good will, instead of a free will, I managed to get myself expelled out of La Salle high school. I vehemently refused to believe that God has always blessed His Sick Believers Asia Poch Suzara

Sinners and Criminals in the Philippines

Foreign countries like China, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, Brunei, Vietnam, Taiwan, etc - the laws of such countries are respected and strictly enforced. It is no fun if one were a sinner or a criminal touring such countries. In the Philippines, however, the only Catholic country in Asia, where the laws of our land are not that respected nor seriously enforced, it is more fun if one were a sinner or a criminal as a tourist. Oh yes, indeed, the joys of Corruption as a way of daily life is more fun in the Philippines. Look at the main tourist attraction in the Philippines: the impeachment trial of the chief justice of the Supreme Court - a small fish compared to the bigger fishes hardly charged, arrested, tried in court, and incarcerated. The powers-that-be, however, are more occupied in protecting and defending the culture of corruption as blessed by God daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly in the Philippines. Ours, indeed, is the most corrupt nation in all of Asia. We Filipinos have even been educated to believe that a stupid man is more likely to be truthful than a man who is intelligent. And so, our government officials today acting as judges in the impeachment case against the top magistrate of our Republic - take advantage of our culture of corruption by pretending to be not as corrupt as the corrupt system of education has made them. It is the same old history. Our God-fearing politicians do not care about life in the next generation. They only care about the results of the next election. In the meantime, life in general among Filipinos in the Philippines can be characterized as the competition to be the criminal or be the victim of the criminals. God Bless the Philippines! Thank you Jesus! Poch Suzara

The Success of Being a Happy Failure

The trouble with most men who want to get to the top is that want even more those people who are below him stay below him. For my part, if that were the ways of success, I would rather stay where I am, enjoy living a thoughtful life by being happy as a successful failure. This simply means that I have no ambition to ever be greedy, selfish, stupid, and insane. Poch Suzara

Lonely Women

Many people are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. (Phil Star 1/25/2012)

For my part, I take off my hat to philosopher, mathematician, logician, freedom-fighter Bertrand Russell. Like many lonely thinkers, he cultivated a rather self-conscious sensitivity to the troubles of others.

In the meantime, I know of many people, specially women, who are lonely. They
have already crossed the bridge but they still do not know whether they are coming

The Bible Written by Inspired Liars of God

Was Jesus crucified on a cross or hang on a tree? And when was it that Jesus ever got to be enthroned as the King of the Jews? Look at the lies written on the Cross of Jesus:

This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. Matt.27:37

The King of the Jews. Mark 15:26

This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. Luke 23:38

Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews. John 19:19

One would think that there was only one cross, not four, and therefore only one inscription written on the cross. However, in the book of Acts 5:30, Jesus was
not crucified on a cross, he was hanged on a tree.

In Acts 10:39, it also reads: “And we are witnesses of all
things which he did both in the land of the Jews, or in Jerusalem;
whom they slew and hanged on a tree.”

Again, in Acts 13:29, it reads: “ And when they had fulfilled all
that was written of him, they took him down from the tree. And laid
him in a sepulcher.”

And again, in 1 Peter 2:24, “Who on his own self bare our sins in his
own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

In the meantime, one great saint of God - St. Augustine was obviously not a critical bible reader. He wrote: “Nothing is to be accepted except the authority of scripture, since greater is that authority than all the powers of the human mind.”

Well, what can be expected of this ignorant saint Augustine who said: "There is
another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing, which man should not wish to learn." Poch Suzara
