Poverty in the Philippines

The Catholic church says that population growth is not the cause of poverty in the Philippines; it is poor governance by the corrupt government officials. Sadly, however, what is totally ignored is the ugly fact that those corrupt government officials are all products of schools, colleges, and universities own, operated, and managed by the Catholic church in our country. Such as La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, Letran, UST, Miriam college, Assumption college, AIM, UP, etc, - more than a thousand of such corrupt commercial enterprises established all over the Philippines. They are more referred to as the "system of education" in our country. Indeed, we filipinos are all born ignorant, not corrupt. We are made corrupt by education. And to think that our "system of education" has always been blessed by Jesus on earth as he is in heaven! In the meantime, here are some of the ills of our sick society: You see them in the squatter areas; in the slums. Children begging in the streets of our major cities. With bloated bellies, emaciated by malnutrition, their mental and physical growth retarded. Not to mention, some 16 million Filipinos have no access to toilet facilities in the only blessed by God country in Asia. According to the Department of Health 18.8 millions Filipino children are suffering from intestinal worms. The little tiny creatures created by God as the culprits that cause this evil more known as chronic malnutrition. To think that these common childhood diseases make them grow up, if at all, to be known as the Sick Man of Asia. It can be prevented with proper health education and the values of believing in the beauty of health, hygiene, and sanitation. Oh well, I said it before, I will say it again: Jesus died on the cross for the sake of poverty. We must therefore always celebrate our poverty by being poorer this year; poorer next year than we were already poor both as a people and as a nation during the past 400 years in this God-forsaken only poor Catholic country in Asia.

Scientists Playing God because There is No God

For God’s sake, even the scientists are trying to find ways and means to improve the human conditions on this earth. Such as learning about the nature of nature, curing diseases, increasing happiness, even conquering death. Now we are told that scientists are playing God. Well, if God would only stop wasting his powers fooling around and begin, instead, to play the role of God himself, there would be no need of scientists trying hard to make this world a better place to live in than what the religious morons - the believers of God have made of it during these past centuries! It is alarmingly obvious, if not apparently translucent - there is NO God! Poch Suzara

The Greatest of our Natural Resources

Nov. 13, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors, Dear Editors: Aside from the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS worth of natural resources yet to be discovered and explored in our land, mountains, rivers, lakes, and in seashores, whatever happened to the growth and development of the greatest and most precious of natural resources found everywhere in the Philippines - the Filipino minds and hearts? Indeed, schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines are places where they prepare Filipinos to be creative and productive not for the growth and development of our own beloved country but only how to get hired as good employees in the foreign countries. As we are also educated to believe that our health as a people and wealth as a nation could only be possible with the assistance from foreigners, even our college-educated government official are praying hard for the arrival of more foreign investors to take charge over our economic growth and development as a nation. It is a way of proving, I suppose, that God, indeed, does provide for the Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. I said it before, I say it again: if only our schools, colleges, and universities were to teach us Filipinos to believe that intelligent life after birth is far more real and precious than life after a stupid death, the Philippines could learn be the healthiest, wealthiest, and happiest nation in all of Asia! Sincerely, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village Makati city

What a Lie. What a Deception.

"When your world seems to be falling apart, look to Jesus who holds everything together." Philippine Star, Nov. 13, 2013 What a lie! What a deception! Another one of those childish hopes for divine intervention! Crucified on a cross, this Son of God Jesus, who holds everything together, cried out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?" Matt 47:26 Poch Suzara

Stupid Faith in Lies and Deceptions

Those who hate to read, hate to think; and those who hate to read are no better off than those who are illiterate - they cannot read at all. All that they have going for them is stupid faith; especially faith not in illumination, but faith only in lies and deceptions; not to mention faith in confusion, illusion, and delusion! Poch Suzara

The Love of God Hogwash that Millions Still Swallow

"God loves us not because of who we are, but because of who He is." . . . Philippine Star, Nov. 1, 2012 Oh God, my dear God, please keep your love. I don't need it. I don't want it. I am already happy and proud loving and respecting my own self. If you love me, why put me eventually to death? Don't you love the devil even much more" Look how, after all these centuries, you never bothered to put the devil to death. He is still very much alive and kicking seeing to it that you continue to forgive the sins of the sinner and the crimes of the criminals. By the way, your silly partner, the devil, no longer frightens me! He is such a silly jerk; in fact, it is the devil who needs love from you and wants love from you! Why don't you two kiss and make up and stop playing silly divine games that brings neither gladness nor happiness into our world of darkness! Poch Suzara

No, I Don't Believe

Do any of you dumbsruck faithfools really believe in the existence of God and his angels existing in heaven; and in the existence of the devil and his demons existing in hell? For my part, I say NO! I do not believe in the existence of such monsters in heaven; or, in the existence of such monsters in hell. I have far more important things to believe in than to believe in the existence of such supernatual crap! To begin with, we know absolutely nothing of the exact location of heaven or hell, how in perdition could we know of the existence of a God existing in heaven or the existence of a devil existing in hell? In the meantime, it is all so stupid, isn't: we claim to know this, we claim to know that, but we have yet to know what "knowing" means! Poch Suzara

God Never Believed in the Existence of Other Gods

My Dear Faithfools: Please read carefully God's first commandment: "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME." This means God never believed in the existence of other gods - and that makes God an ATHEIST! So my dear friends, what is your problem? If God created me to be an atheist - why should that bother or frighten any of you, specially you college-educated faithfools on these pages? Sincerely, Poch Suzara, High School Expelled Student

What Does it profit a Man If he Gains the whole World

What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but suffers in the end the lost of his soul in the next world? Matt. 16:26 I asked it before, I ask it again: What does it profit a man if he wins rewards in heaven but leaves his country a worst place than he found it? Obviously, such a man had little reason to have lived. Indeed, such a man saw neither the beauty nor the necessity or even the worth in saving something even more priceless than his silly soul - his own precious mind and precious heart - especially for love of country, love of family, and love of humanity!

The Silly Story of Job in the Silly Bible

We are told that the story of Job is an amazing story of faith. The bible described him as the most righteous man of his generation. Yet, God allowed Satan to afflict Job with distress, illness and suffering. When the trials proved too severe, Job faithfully declared: "Though He may slay me, yet will I trust in Him," Job. 13:15 For my part, I have a question for God and a question for Job. First, a question for God: "Out of the billions of people you have already created what was the serious issue with Job worthy of your special attention? Whatever happened to your duty and responsibility as a God to behave like a God to each and everyone of your children otherwise more known as Mankind?" Now a question for Job: "What ever happened to your sense of pride, dignity, and self-respect as a man gifted with a free will? Couldn't you ask God: is all this holy malarkey inextricably mixed with religious baloney worthy of your time and energy? Poch Suzara

We are NOT the Intelligent Masters, but the Silly Victims

My Dear Sir: Please wake up! We are all not the INTELLIGENT MASTERS, but the SILLY VICTIMS of Catholic values and beliefs in our own country, and you expect me to admit to you that I should be happy and proud to have been one such SILLY VICTIM myself? Specially when I was one among the millions in grade school and high school as a student at De la Salle University - one among the one thousand schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated by the Catholic Church in the Philippines!

Filipino Family Degraded by Silly Values and Sick Beliefs

Thanks to Catholic silly values and sick beliefs in the Philippines the "father" in the Filipino family is the priest whom we addressed as "Father" and he is not even suppose to be a family man, but a bachelor! Again, thanks to Catholic silly values and sick beliefs in the Philippines, my 4 sisters are not that real. My real sisters are the nuns who teach in Catholic grade school and high school. We all address them as "sister." Again, thanks to Catholic values and beliefs in the Philippines, we address as "Brother" the La Salle Christian Brothers teachers in our school - De La salle University. For my part, I have no brother in our family. But I refuse to believe that the Christian Brothers in La Salle are my "Brothers?" Fuck that Christian Brother shit! I said it before, I say it again: to hell with all these Catholic "Father" and Catholic "Sister" and Catholic "Brother" religious bullcrap! They degrade the dignity of the Filipino family primarily composed of mother, father, sons, and daughters! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Adam and Eve Had Faith in God

Let's take a closer look at Adam and Eve - they were NO atheists. They both believed, loved, and venerated, but also had faith in God. They even met God personally and talked to him directly. But look how Adam and Eve ended up like a couple of damned faithfools. God inspired the Talking Serpent (also gifted with a free will) - to get Adam and Eve to be guilty of the Original Sin! As if Adam and Eve originated anything in this world to begin with! In the meantime, my dear reader, haven't you as yet noticed the silly maka-dios politicians as the corrupt leaders of our poor and backward country? They never stop to declare that it is not only the WILL of the people, but the WILL of God that made them the Barangay captains, chief of police, mayors, governors, congressmen, and senators, not to mention the chief justice of the Supreme court. For my part, as a high school expelled student of some 65 years ago, I am still asking today: GOD, WHAT ARE YOU A GOD FOR? Specially a GOD for the HERE AND NOW? A God for the living? And not a GOD for the dead, not a God for that the pie-in-the-sky, for that silly life after death later by and by? Oh God, my dear God, you obviously do not exist! But if you do exists, you must be a supernatural Monster, if not a supreme Jerk surrounded by a lot of angelic saps! Poch Suzara

My Own Charity Activities

I have my own charity activities. On an average, I donate 8,000 pesos a month or 96,000 pesos a year or some $200 a month out of my SSS benefits from the US and from my monthly Philippine social security benefits. It has been ongoing since 1990 and official receipts tell me that I already donated more than 2.5 millions pesos during these past 24 years. In the meantime, down through the years, my real interests and concerns have been - doing my charity best to expose the LIES AND DECEPTIONS that historically have been keeping us filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally bankrupt as a nation. Most of my catholic friends, classmates, schoolmates, and associates think of me as only always CURSING THE DARKNESS which is really the highest of ridiculosity. On the contrary, what could be more brightening than to expose the nature of the darkness around us which is what the sick system of basic Catholic education has been mostly about? Indeed, the commercial enterprises more known as schools, colleges, and universities own and managed tax-free by the Catholic church in our poor and backward country - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century!

Instead of Lively Analysis, only Deadly Paralysis

If you truly enjoy your free will, I challenge you to freely put into a lively analysis these truths that have kept many of you under a deadly paralysis: First: Among the hundreds of thousands of corrupt officials and corupt employees of our government - there is not ONE among them who is an atheist or a humanist. Each and every one of them believe in Jesus and have faith in God. Second: Each and every one of them have acquired college education in La Salle, or Ateneo, San Beda, UST, Assumption college, UP, Letran, AIM, Miriam college, San Augustine College, etc. As an atheist and a La Salle high school expelled student and a die-hard Rizalist, I rest my case. Poch Suzara

What are you Doing with your FREE WILL

My Dearest Et Al, Please read your bible. You might come to the conclusion that your so-called FREE WILL is really not that FREE nor is it a WILL. “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able ... There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.” Luke 13:23-24 -28 In the meantime, in our SICK SOCIETY, everybody wants to go to heaven, and yet nobody wants to die. I said it before, I say it again: For my part, I would rather end up in hell with intelligent adults than to be with you faithfool kids in heaven! Poch Suzara

The Mind of Man

“The mind of man,” wrote John Calvin, “undertakes all that is perverse, base, and impure and always remains involved in hypocrisy and deceit.” I ask: what vital role has Christianity played to make our politicians in government and our theologians in church all together be less perverse, less base, and less impure and no more involved in hypocrisy and deceit in the Philippines? Now I am told that I have a mind that is puny. Oh yes, indeed, since I am human, my mind is just as puny as your mind and just as puny as the mind of the theologians and the politicians. So how come you religiously frightened morons on these pages pretend that you have a mind that understands the mind of God? As if God has a mind since God is not human, huh? Poch Suzara

Politics is Big Business in America

If we were for the truth in American politics, neither Omaba nor Romney won in the debate. But lies and deceptions once again proved the winner. Notice neither of the candidates touched on the issue on why America must continue to kill foreigners in order the keep the USA as a world power! Not to mention the killings also fellow-Americans at home. Politics in America is big business; specially for its "military-Industrial-University complex." It does not matter whether the Democrats or the Republicans run the government for as long the old or the new faces in the government chorus will continue to sing the same old lies and deceptions more known as GOD BLESS AMERICA! THE LAND OF THE FREE! THE HOME OF THE BRAVE! Poch Suzara

The Philippines Always Blessed by God

"What I got in Sunday school ... was simply a firm conviction that the Christian faith was full of palpable absurdities, and the Christian God preposterous.... The act of worship, as carried on by Christians, seems to me to be debasing rather than ennobling. It involves groveling before a being who, if he really exists, deserves to be denounced instead of respected." -- H L Mencken For my part, I say it again: at present, as it has been in the past, there has never been a truthful religion established in the Philippines at any time. The Catholic religion, Iglesia ni Cristo, El Shaddai, Dating Daan, Jesus is Lord Church, Mormon church, Unitarian, Seventh Day Adventist, Baptist, Anglican, Hindu, Sikhist, etc - have all been based on lies and deceptions. In the meantime, religion has caused far more damage to our spritual way of life as Filipinos than the damage done to us by the Spaniards, Americans, Japanese, and Marcos Dictatorship all criminally bundled together as our past and insane colonizers!

Christianity - A Failure as a Religion in the Philippines

October 22, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Editors, More than 1,000,000,000 ( Billion ) Filipinos have already lived and died ever since Christianity arrived in the Philippines in the 16th century. Thus far, Christianity has produced only two Filipino saints - St. Pedro Calungsod and St. San Lorenzo Ruiz. In view, however, of the historical fact that Christianity has produced far more unsaintly congressmen, unsaintly senators, unsaintly governors, unsaintly mayors, unsaintly chiefs of Police; unsaintly school teachers, unsaintly college professors; not to mention unsaintly priesthood industry - only proves that Christianity has been and still is a failure as a religion in the Philippines.

Three Groups of Atheists in the Philippines

There are three groups of Atheists in the Philippines. The first group say that I am the "father of Atheism." The second group say that I am the "grandfather of atheism." The third group, my favorite group - they say I am the "Pope" of Atheism in the Philippines. All of the above, I must admit, I consider as childish nonsense. What, however, I am most proud about, most thrilled to confirm, and most excited to acknowledge is the fact that Atheism today is a worldwide movement without followers, without victims. Indeed, we atheists are all leaders! We are answerable to no one except to the beauty and necessity of human decency spreading globally for the sake of peace and harmony. Indeed, imagine this world, our world not any more frightened to love a silly divinity up there by hating and killing each other like silly faithfools down here. I said it before, I say it again: forget divinity. Let us only love and attend to the needs of humanity. Otherwise, we would have no reason to have lived at all with veracity as we face the brutality of reality. Poch Suzara

I Asked college-educated Individuals

Years ago, I asked college-educated individuals out of La Salle, Ateneo, San beda, Letran, UST, Assumption colleges, University of the Philippines, Miriam colleges, AIM, etc. This year, I am asking them again: Which God inspired which authors to write which holy bible? There are more than 57 different versions of the holy bible sold in bookstores today. In the meantime, there is only one version of the Multiplication Table - the perfect model of truth, precise and certain, and free from all kinds of conflicting interpretations; even free from silly contradictions! As a matter of historical fact, no nation has ever declared war on another nation for not believing that 2 plus 2 equals 4. But people living other countries have been bombed to death for believing that God is not a Catholic or because God is Islamic or because they believe that God is a Jewish lunatic who has always been historically bombastic.

Why Childen in Foreign Countries Hate America

In 1996, then-Ambassador Madeleine Albright was asked about reports that 500,000 Iraqi children had died as a result of US-imposed sanctions. She replied: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price - we think the price is worth it." Former UN official, Denis Halliday, said US sanctions on Iraq met the formal definition of genocide: "We are now in there responsible for killing people, destroying their families, their children, allowing their older parents to die for lack of basic medicines. We're in there allowing children to die who were not born yet when Saddam Hussein made the mistake of invading Kuwait." The millions of Iraqi children who survived the death of their parents while the US Air Force bombed Iraq all have grown up hating America. The US military-Industrial-University Complex, however, love the development. There is now more excuse to declare war against these grown-up Iraqis too in the future for hating America. And the merry-go-round goes on and on for the US foreign policy in killing foreigners for the sake of big business as the great part of the US economy to grow. Poch Suzara

God Bless America

"It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly." Bertrand Russell It is the same thing with nations. Look at America, once the richest and the most powerful nation in the world. Today in America, presidential candidates still debate on how to achieve not intellectual growth as a people, but only more of the same old story - economic growth as a nation. In the meantime, the majority of Americans live under the threat of bankruptcy on the one hand, and on the other hand - live under a culture of hate, fear, and violence. Oh yes, Americans as a people are armed with private weapons against each other; America as a nation is also armed to the teeth against any other nation not willing to submit to imperialism more known as American capitalism; or, to kleptocracy, not to democracy. Consider crime statistics hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly in America: Every 22.2 seconds - One violent crime occurs Every 30.9 minutes - One murder occurs Every 5.7 minutes - One forcible rape occurs Every 1.2 minutes - One robbery occurs Every 36.6 seconds - One aggravated assault occurs Every 3.2 seconds - One property crime occurs Every 14.4 seconds - One burglary occurs Every 4.8 seconds - One larceny-theft occurs Every 26.4 seconds - One motor vehicle theft occurs 2010 FBI Crime Clock Stats An estimated five out of six people will be victims of either completed or attempted violent crimes at least once in their lives (Koppel, 1987). According to The National Women's Study, 683,000 forcible rapes occur every year, which equals 56,916 per month; 1,871 per day; 78 per hour; and 1.3 per minute (National Center for Victims of Crime &Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, 1992). One out of four women will be sexually assaulted on a college campus (Hirsch,1990). Antonio Novello, the former Surgeon General,has estimated that domestic violence kills 58,000 people every five years, the same number lost in the Vietnam War (Gardner, 1992). In the United States, there are over 3,400 animal protection shelters and only about 1,200 shelters for battered women (Buel, 1994) Findings from The National Women's Study reveal that rape victims compared to non-crime victims were: 5.3 times more likely to have used prescription drugs non-medically (14.7 percent vs.2.8 percent); 3.4 times as likely to have used marijuana (52.2 percent vs.15.5 percent); 6 times more likely to have used cocaine (15.5 percent vs 2.6 percent); 10.1 times more likely to have used hard drugs other than cocaine (12.1 percent vs. 1.2 percent); and 6.4 times more likely to have used hard drugs or cocaine (19.2 percent vs.3 percent). Additionally, rape victims were 4.1 times more likely than non-crime victims to have contemplated suicide and 13 times more likely to have actually made a suicide attempt (Ibid ). It has been repeatedly said before, let's say it again: God bless America - the land of the free and the home of the brave! Poch Suzara

America Destroying Herself Over Nothing

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Abraham Lincoln Indeed, what is destroying America is its own "military-industrial-university complex." The only kind of transformation that can save America is the complete change from a "war" economy into a "peace" economy. In this way, America can truly become the greatest, most wealthiest, and healthiest nation in the world; especially as when America can begin to be in the business of reconstructing human lives locally, and not destroying human lives globally.

Thomas Paine on the Philippines

"The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on nothing; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing." -Thomas Paine, in The Age Of Reason In the Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century, instead of more science and more technology for our growth as a people, and for our development as a nation, we only have more of the same stupid prayers and more of the same stupid theology! - Poch Suzara

Faith in Blind Faith

Due to faith in blind faith frightened into us during formative years at home and in school it is understandable that we can neither see nor can feel the horrors of religion. Religion harms children, adults, nations, culture, and society as a whole because the ideas behind it are not only irrational, but also promotes the feeling of personal inadequacy and anxiety indoctrinated into us during our formative years in school.. A child should be permitted to grow freely away from restrictive and dehumanizing ideas which are those of religion. Basically, religion is anti-life, anti-women, anti-sexuality, anti-reason, anti-reality, and anti-science. And these horrors are a heavy load to lay on a child who learns to follow in blind faith the strong theme that rewards poverty, submissiveness, sickness, or anything that would place such a child into an inferior position. By the same token, self-esteem, self-reliance, self-sufficiency, competence, intelligence, or anything that would put a child on a superior position is penalized or discouraged. God loves the humble, the meek, the frightened, the inferior; but God is jealous of the functional human intellect. Man should never be self-sufficient lest he offend God. This sets the stage for God in the role of the superior and man in the role of the inferior. God is the supreme being who needs servility and obedience to satisfy his egocentric qualities. Man must play the role of the inferior and as a reward for a submissive, unhappy, unrewarding life - he is promised that if he is good, a good for nothing dormat on this earth, he is assured of eternal salvation in heaven with God. This reward, however, is never defined. If a man is to earn God's favor, he indeed must live not with dignity, but with humility, and above all, he must not be happy. This is crucial in that to be happy might invoke envy from God, and man must live in fear of this envy. I said it before, I say it again: the horrors of religion in general, Catholicism in particular, have kept us filipinos traditionally poor as a people and historically backward as a nation. I say, it is time to dump organized religion out of our country. Instead of silly religiosity, let us enjoy intelligent SPIRITUALITY of which in its highest reality is to QUESTION EVERYTHING. After all, the good life is one inspired by love of life and guided by the love of knowledge! Poch Suzara

The Religion of Immorality

Here is a message from God in the bible protecting and defending not the morality of religion, but the religion of immorality for the sake of promoting human insanity: "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekelsof silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." Deut. 22:28-29 Poch Suzara

It is Time to dump our Worthless Prayers

Oct. 8, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sirs: Praying is like rocking a chair. It will help you do something but won't get you anywhere. Indeed, in the Philippines, since the 16th century - daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly we filipinos have been faithully praying repeatedly over and over again and look at the results in our country in this already 21st century: Millions more of us filipinos as a people today in the whole of Asia are still busy praying daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly; specially for the Second coming of the Lord to remedy the ills of our SICK SOCIETY as generated by our SICK SCHOOLS, SICK COLLEGES, AND SICK UNIVERSITIES - still teaching millions of Filipinos to continue to pray to God for the salvation of our poor and backward country - the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago. I said it before, I say it again: as a decent people in an endless search to create for ourselves a decent nation it is time to dump our historically worthless, if not our utterly mindless prayers! Sincerely, Poch Suzara

Where our Teachers and Professors come from

My dear Bro. Martin and Bro. Bob gabuna, I suggest you both look for empty cans and then insert your dicks inside it and go for it. I would not worry about the empty cans getting pregnant - it is where your teachers in school and college professors come from. Poch Suzara Dear Poch, I admire your straighforwardness and "humor" in your rebuttals. Empty cans could be risky especially when they are rusty. Perhaps, you could have tell the "gentlemen" to use other means, couldn't you? Enjoy and have a fabulous and wonderful time. More power to you! Yours as always, Dr. Bayani Katigbak

Millions of believers are Ignorant of Bible Contents

The Bible is the most-printed and most freely distributed book in the world, with many hundreds of millions of copies believed to be in existence. The bible books sold in bookstores have always been, at any time, a best sellers. Unfortunately, the bible is considered holy, a book written by inspired authors of God -therefore it need not be read. Its verses need only to be taken for granted; especially as expounded by the priest on the pulpit during mass on sundays or by the evangelical hypocrites on TV during weekdays. The big question is why isn't the bible read as any book should be read for its messages, if any? It is simply because properly and thoroughly read the bible is the most effective way to learn how to become an atheist! Indeed, only scholars and atheists are more familiar with bible contents. Millions upon millions of believers have yet to seriously read and study the bible. A book that is full of myths, legends, contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, vulgarities, atrocities, lies and deceptions. In order to get to that conclusion, however, one must only seriously read the bible from cover to cover. No extra sources or inspirations are necessary. If we turn the bible on page one we will find two completely different descriptions of the same event - creation of man. In these descriptions in which various things were created is completely different. This is more than enough to conclude that one of these descriptions must be a lie. So we have found that the first page in the bible is a lie. The rest are full of completely different, mutually exclusive descriptions of the same event. Using the above resoning for each of these pairs of descriptions we can conclude that at least one of the descriptions can not be true. And this is how we can make the conclusion that Bible is book written by inspired lunatics. If authors inspired by logic can reveal the truth behind the multiplication table, why couldn't authors inspired by God reveal as well the truth behind the revelation table? As a matter of fact, insane messages written in the bible are about how life is not perfect as it is a defect. Therefore for the sake of revelation, not evolution - what we must seek is not reconstruction, but only obliteration; especially for the sake of gaining after death eternal salvation. The bible is the book of church - the Jewish church stands behind the Old Testament. The Christian church stands behind the New Testament. Behind both testaments, however, stand the priesthood industry. In the meantime, religious politicians are "voted" as the most admired in our poor and backward country. Even the highest court, the Supreme court, cringe before the power of organized religion. Our scientific community is so cowed it dares not challenge the religious liars that make for our sick society. Educators, especially college and university professors are paralyzed in fear, not even hoping to confront the sick monster known as organized religion keeping us aimless as a people and rudderless as a nation. Oh yes, millions of our citizens, by and large, remain religious illiterates. The bible is accepted but not read. Yet, on this book, as the alleged word of God, rests the entire superstructure of our faith, beliefs, and values that inspired the birth of the Dark Ages during the 5th century. I asked it before, I ask it again: After the college educated theologians have proved with evidences that God of the bible exists here, there, and everywhere - how would such information improve the lives of millions of spiritually malnourished, culturally impoverished, and indeed, materially pulverized Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century?

College-Educated Corrupt Government Officials

Come on you frigthened blind faithfools - take a good look at our poor and backward country historically managed by COLLEGE-educated government officials as the corrupt products of LA SALLE, ATENEO, UST, SAN BEDA, ASSUMPTION COLLEGE, MIRIAM, UP, LETRAN, AIM, ETC. All blessed by God as such schools, colleges, and universities generate a corrupt system of education for us Filipinos to be corrupt in order to survive in our own country. Poch Suzara,

Adam and Eve Were no ATHEISTS

Let's take a closer look at Adam and Eve - they were NO atheists. They believed, loved, and venerated God. But look how they both ended up damned and damned good. God even inspired the Talking Serpent to get them both to be guilty of the Original Sin! As if Adam and Eve ever originated anything in this world to begin with! In the meantime, my dear reader, haven't you as yet noticed the frightened dumbstruck maka-dios government officials as leaders of our sick country. They never stop to declare that God should not be blamed for all that is wrong in our country. It is our fault. Indeed, I agree. It is not only our fault, it is also our fear and ignorance specially in our failure to ask: GOD, WHAT ARE YOU A GOD FOR? Specially a GOD for the HERE AND NOW? And not a GOD for that by and by bullshit pie-in-the-sky later on? Poch Suzara

The Filipino - Poorest people in Asia

According to a UN-Habitat report, over 20 million Filipinos in the Philippines live in slums, and in Metro Manila alone. There are more than 800,000 Pinays working as prostitutes in Metro Manila. Many of them are underage. In the meantime, because we have no national health care system an average of 52 Pinays die every 24 hours from pregnancy-related causes. According to the Asian Development Bank, over 25 million Filipinos don’t have access to the basic sanitation afforded by toilet facilities; another 13 million don’t have proper water resources - without plumbing or communal water taps, many rely on creek water and deep wells which can often be unsafe for human consumption. Poverty cannot be measured in pesos and centavos alone. Poverty must be viewed from a larger, deeper, if not a wider perspective: social, political, spiritual, cultural, educational, environmental; and indeed, poverty in science and technology. We are, indeed, the poorest people in Asia. Consider: We are rudderless as people; directionless as a nation. We have no love for our country. None are rich in spirit. We have no respect for law and order. We have no sense of the future of our nation's children. In brief, we have nothing great going on for us Filipinos - except God, and his Son Jesus; Mary, the Mother of God; and of course the Pope who is not even a Filipino. Surely, millions of Filipinos feel God has blessed them. In fact, we are taught in schools, colleges, and universities to always believe what Jesus declared: "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE POOR IN SPIRIT, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN." In the ultimate analysis, millions of us filipino share something great in common together: For the love of Jesus up there, we are all poor in spirit down here!

Love and Sex and Books

A man gives love in order to get sex. A woman gives sex in order to get love. Trouble begins when the woman needs not more thinking, exploring, learning, discovering, questioning, and reading; but needs only more loving, more praying, more financing, and indeed, more fucking. Each time I had that kind of a silly relationship with a tootie-frootie, I went back home to be with my one and only real love in this world: love of books! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Who Gives a Hoot about our Scientists and Technologists

Sept.27, 2-12 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sir: In our sick society, in order to maintain ourselves famous worldwide as the Sick Man of Asia - we are far more fascinated with the works of our manicurists, pedicurists, hair-stylists, florists, and indeed, the catechists and the exorcists. We couldn't give a hoot about the works of Filipino scientists and technologists to rescue our sick country out of its poverty, religious misery, political stupidity, and social insanity! And to think that as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, in this already 21st century - we still faithfully believe that God has always blessed our poor and backward country!

Rotten Truth Revealed in the Bible

Listen to this rotten truth revealed by GOD, THE FATHER: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45:7 Listen to this rotten truth revealed by JESUS, THE SON GOD: “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matt 10:34-37 Listen to this rotten truth revealed by the Holy Spirit of the Holy Trinity: "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Matt 12:31 I asked it before, I ask it again: My dear reader, do you now understand why as the only Christian country in Asia, we Filipinos are the only ones who are spiritually twisted as a people and morally distorted as a nation? To begin with, millions of us do not bother to read the bible. When, however, we do read it, and do not understand its rotten verses - we have been frightened to believe that such rotten verses are really morsels of divine wisdom! In the meantime, schools, colleges, and universities teach millions upon millions of Filipinos to defend and protect the Philippines not that she is a free and independent as a Republic, but that she is, more than anything else, historically, a Catholic country. For my part, as one born in the Philippines some 79 years ago, for love of my country, I would rather be atheistic. I do not care to be a Catholic. I have no taste for anything satanic, nor do I care to swallow anything theocratic! Poch Suzara

Ye, Escape the Damnation of Hell for Jesus

Jesus, in the bible, shouts: "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell!" Matthew 23:33 If Jesus were alive today in the Philippines, he would shout at the same: Ye Catholic Bishops, Ye Bro. Eli Soriano of Dating Daan, Ye Bro. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Ye Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement, Ye Bro. Eduardo Manalo of Iglesia Ni Cristo, Ye Brothers of the United Church of Christ, Ye preachers of the 700 Club Prayer Center, and Ye, you owners of La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, UST, Assumption college, AIM, Letran, Miriam college, and University of the Philippines - how can ye all escape the DAMNATION OF HELL! Oh yes, ye sinners and criminals and thieves, you should all listen to yourselves on TV daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - hurling HATE at against each other down here for the glory of Jesus up there! While millions of Filipinos remain NOT as the rich and brightened masters, but as the poor and frightened victims of Christianity in the Philippines since the 16th century. Indeed, for Christ's sake, millions of us Filipinos continue to be the victims of poverty of the worst kind: the poverty of the mind and heart - preventing us, historically, to live the good life in our own country - one inspired by the power of love and guided by the power of knowledge!

In the meantime, you both just do nothing but parrot over and over again the words of a Jewish fellow who never even attended grade school - known as Jesus Christ.

The Concept of God is Unknowable

The belief that god is basically unknowable is the most important epistemological element of theistic belief. It is shared by all theists to some extent, who disagree only with regard to what degree, if any, god's nature can be known. We must remember that theism maintains not just that god's nature is unknown to man at the present time, but that god's nature is unknowable in principle. Man will never understand god, which is expressed by such terms as ineffable, inexpressible, transcendent, unfathomable, and indeed, incomprehensible. The most extreme version of this belief is religious agnosticism, which holds that the nature of god is completely unknowable... First, we must ask: If god cannot be known, how can god be known to exist? Quoting Nathaniel Branden, "To claim that a thing is unknowable, one must first know that it exists--but assert the existence of the unknowable is to claim knowledge of the unknowable, in which case it cannot be unknowable." Second, if god cannot be comprehended, then none of his attributes can be known--including the attribute of incomprehensibility. To state that something is by nature unknowable is to pronounce knowledge of its nature, in which case we are again involved in a contradiction. When one claims that something is unknowable, CAN ONE PRODUCE KNOWLEDGE IN SUPPORT OF THIS CLAIM? If one cannot, one's assertion is arbitrary and utterly without merit. If one can, one has accomplished the impossible: one has knowledge of the unknowable... To claim that god is incomprehensible is to say that one's concept of god is unintelligible, which is to confess that one does not know what one is talking about. The theist who is called upon to explain the content of his belief--and who then introduces the "unknowable" as a supposed characteristic of the concept itself--is saying, in effect: "I will explain the concept of god by pointing out that it cannot be explained." Atheists have long contended that the concept of god is unintelligible, this being a major reason why it cannot be accepted by any rational man. The theist who openly admits this cannot expect to be taken seriously. The idea of the unknowable is an insult to human intelligence, and it renders the beliefs of a theist not worth believing. Now let us assume that God became Jesus as Jesus is God. So how come Jesus never bothered to explain for the sake of human decency - the clarity of extraterrestrial complexity into intellectual simplicity to render complete understanding of the complexity for the whole of the humanity to grasp the reality of divinity, globally?

WHO OR WHAT IS GOD

Atheists: If You're Looking For A Miracle To Prove God Exists, How Do You Explain This? (published in GOOGLE) Scientists at NASA were plotting the positions of the Sun, Moon, and other planets 100 years from now, and 1,000 years from now, in order to calculate spacecraft trajectories. As the sophisticated government computers worked with the data fed into them, they suddenly and unexpectedly came to a grinding halt. Service technicians were called in, but were unable to find anything mechanically wrong. The computers, so the story goes, had discovered a day missing in time. No one knew why the computers were acting the way they were, or how to fix them. However, one scientist on the team had gone to Sunday school when he was a child, and, from the teaching he had received there, he recalled a story from the Old Testament in which God had made the Sun stand still for a day, or thereabouts. The other NASA engineers — profound disbelievers in God and His Word — ridiculed him for even suggesting that such “information” might provide a solution to their problem. However, the scientist turned to Joshua 10, and read the story. The engineers then reworked the data being fed into the computers, adding in the “lost day” of Joshua, and the computers whirred along perfectly — almost. The computers stopped again because they had not discovered a whole day; something was still missing. Apparently (so the story goes) the computers found only 23 hours and 20 minutes. In other words, 40 minutes were still missing. But, the scientist who had suggested that they look in the Bible for the answer in the first place once again suggested what might be the answer to this conundrum. He remembered something else he had been taught. In II Kings 20, the biblical record says that King Hezekiah, upon being promised a cure from his illness and thus a longer life, had requested a sign from God. The text indicates that God made the Sun move backwards ten degrees. Ten degrees, said the scientist, would be exactly 40 minutes! And that provided the entire 24-hour day the computers needed. The Bible had the answer all along! Note: NOW WHAT WE ATHEISTS NEED TO KNOW IS WHETHER GOD IS A CATHOLIC, A JEW, OR A MUSLIM, A MUGGLETONIAN, OR WHO KNOWS MAY BE GOD IS A POCHOLOGIAN? Poch Suzara

My Dear Jaime Calero

Jaime Calero, c/o De La Salle University Taft Ave., Manila Dear Mr. Jaime Calero, A history of culture, conceived in its widest sense, includes religion, politics, art, philosophy, science and technology. Ours is a failed culture because we have far more politics always in cahoots with religion together as a people than we do have art, philosophy, science, and technology as a nation. If this history of culture were too complicated for you to grasp, please allow me, as a high-school expelled student, to simplify the academic complexity for you: A nation that produces 3 babies every minute of the day and night or 1.5 million babies yearly is a nation that enjoys the culture of FUCKING, not the culture of THINKING. Ours, indeed, is a mindless culture. Protected and defended by the Thoughtless. We have no hope in science; especially as it is about the perfection of humanity. We only have faith in religion - the belief that rather than work for perfection we must only seek in this world obliteration via mutilation, if not by self-destruction. What is cultural in our country is not about the growth or development of the Philippines as a decent nation. What is cultural is the code of sexual behavior that would guarantee precisely the survival of Christianity in our country. The Christian priesthood industry left no stone unturned in their determination to convert the Pinay's female uterus into a baby factory to produce on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis - Christian babies. JAIME, I asked it before, I ask it again: how can we be a nation of readers, writers, reporters, explorers, researchers, discoverers, manufacturers, traders, importers, exporters, managers, workers, farmers, growers, planters, poultry-raisers, painters, carpenters, welders, plumbers, domestic-helpers, TV producers, movie directors, forest-rangers, law-enforcers, judges and lawyers, professors, and teachers - since, to begin with, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we are educated first and foremost to rely and to believe only on the power of stupid prayers? In the meantime, churches and cathedrals, shrines and crucifixes, and indeed, revealed truths in the holy bible that have yet to be revealed have all played crucial roles in molding the Filipino minds and hearts to be famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Jaime, for my part, as an atheist and a student of books since I was 14 years old, I have learned to live a life without fear of this or fear of that. In fact, I thank God that I have learned to become an atheist. After all, God himself is an atheist. God has no religion. God does not lead himself into temptation; nor does He pray to Mary, His mother, to always pray for Him. Cheers! Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati city, Philippines

Please - Let us be Honest with Ourselves

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: The fact is, a lot of you, are bothered and indeed shocked not because of my vulgar language or profanity, or blasphemy - but because I have been exposing in this venue TRUTHS that a lot of you could not believe are revealed as the Revealed Truth in the bible. So much so that you deny them or just mindlessly accuse me of not knowing how to read the bible under proper spiritual guidance by the holy spirit. My dear poor saps and jerks, more people have been killed in the name of Jesus Christ than any other name in the history of our world. Catholics and Protestants in the name of Jesus have been vilifying, attacking, torturing, bombing, and killing each other in Northern Ireland since the 14th century. Adolf Hitler killed more than 6 million Jews. In his famous book - MEIN KAMPF, he admitted: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty creator; by defending myself against the Jews, I am fighting for the Lord. . . I would like to thank providence and the almighty for choosing me of all people." "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so." "The LORD ѕаw hоw great man’s wickedness on the earth hаd become, аnd that everу inclination of thе thoughts оf his heart wаs onlу evil all the time.” Gen.6:5. In the meantime, it is utterly ridiculous for the Lord to have dismissed his own claim - He created man in his own image and likeness. I urge you all to seriously look around you and see millions of Filipinos, disciples of Jesus, how they have and still do substantiate daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly these words uttered by Jesus: "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26 As if those sacred words uttered by Jesus were not enough to make us famous as the Sick Man of Asia, here is more from Jesus, the beloved Savior of the Philippines: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." A lot of you people in this forum have already heard this from me, but again, I ask: Have any of you ever heard of a Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for believing that Jesus is BAD? So how come millions upon millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR and yet they all believe and have faith that Jesus is GOOD! Meanwhile, the rich Vatican Catholic bank is getting richer, in fact richer and far more powerful than the United States Federal Reserve Bank. I am, indeed, an atheist, and I challenge you - to please be honest with me as we should be honest towards each other! I may have my faults, but have I ever lied to any of you? Or worst - have I ever told any of you to hate your father and mother, hate your brothers and sisters, hate your sons and daughters, and yea, to hate even your own life as Jesus, in the bible, said you should hate in order to be his disciples and followers? Best wishes to all of you, Poch Suzara

Freedom Fighter and a Lover of Truth

Friends and relatives wonder why I am, as ever, still hostile against organized religion. Well, I am not friendly to disorganized religion either. As a lover of truth and a freedom fighter, I am against all forms of lies and deceptions - indeed -falsehoods known as God, angels, devils, heaven or hell or purgatory - the big business of organized superstition. Such evils have always been historically powerful, influential, tax-exempt, and traditional in passing on to innocent Filipino children too young to defend themselves in schools, colleges, and universities. Well, I am a senior citizen; but I still say, old age, like any other age, is the time to struggle away from silly biblical revelation. It is time to be involved with intelligent evolution. Indeed, human life on this earth should only be about the struggle for mankind to establish human decency locally and to enjoy terrestrial sanity globally. Indeed, to put away all that silly infantile business of divinity in cahoots forever with deviltry that promote nothing on this earth nothing but faith in human stupidity, endlessly. No doubt, it is a waste of time. I admit it is an impossible dream. But my dear reader, what about you - how do you waste your precious time? You are accomplishing WHAT in this God-forsaken world of ours? Brief, short, and fleeting as life is on this earth! Instead of looking forward to a better life to come after death, it makes more sense to try and leave this world a better place than how we found it. Not in the material, but in the humanitarian sense. Otherwise, there will be no reason for our having lived. In the meantime, today may be the last day of my life. Whatever or however the case may be, I am, as always, still happy singing loud and clear - my favorite song: "For, what is a man, what has he got, if not himself then he has not, to say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who knees, the record shows I took the blows, and did it MY WAY! It is, in this way, under down-to-earth inspiration that I continue to be a man of courage, vision, ambition, and revolution. Soon I will be dead, but that should be no reason for me to kneel down like a frightened moron down here to a silly God out there. I have more than enough reason to carry on my lifetime struggle against the evils of indoctrination, nay, biblical revelation that have made us directionless as a people and rudderless as a nation! I said it before, I say it again: it is time to recapture the most priceless treasure stolen away from us by schools, colleges, and universities - our most precious minds and precious hearts without which we could never learn to be the precious citizens of our own precious country.

Paradise Located in the Philippines

Millions of Filipinos do not know that paradise is located right here in Philippines. In fact, a thief was crucified with Jesus on the cross and Jesus said to him: "Today you will be with me in Paradise."Oh yes, the thief in paradise with Jesus decided to run for congress and won! Look at Jesus in our sick society - Jesus is still deeply loved and highly respected with much gratitude on top of our corrupt politicians ready and willing to forgive all kinds of sins and crimes by our sick politicians except the sin of unbelief!

On the Books Written By Bertrand Russell

"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."

Great Minds and Great Hearts

It is a sad state of affairs: only a great mind can duly recognize and fully acknowledge the existence of another great mind. What is even more pathetic, however, is our schools, colleges, and universities: they have been and still are in the Catholic business of producing little minds and little hearts to keep us little as a people and therefore little as a nation; especially for the greater glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven.

ATHEISM

"Everyone starts out being an atheist. No one is born with belief in anything. Infants are atheists until they are indoctrinated." - Andy Rooney Conscience is no inner voice from God. Conscience is merely the combined product of evolution and education. If one were to follow one’s conscience rather than reason, what follows is not only confusion, but also delusion. Atheism is the world of reason, reality, and freedom. Atheism is human concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious mind cannot begin to understand. And yet it is much more. Atheism is not an old religion, it is not a new and upcoming religious organization; it is not, in fact, and never has been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is magnificent in its simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity in a world victimized by insanity. Atheism rises above divinity. It is on top of humanity. There are no 'chosen people' in the Atheist philosophy. There are no bended knees in Atheism; No frightened followers; no supplications, no prayers; no doctrines; No sacrificial redemption, no eternal promises; No 'divine' revelations, no sacred writings; No washing in the blood of the lamb; No crusades, no massacres, no holy wars; No inquisition; no dogma, hogma, or pigma. No heaven, no hell, no purgatory, no limbo; No silly rewards, no vindictive punishments; No Christ, and no saviors; no I am who am; No burning bush, no talking donkey; No devils, no ghosts and no gods; No fear of silly divinity, only the courage to work for the good of humanity and to struggle only for the spread of human decency. YES, I AM AN ATHEIST AND PROUD TO BE ONE. I WAS BORN AN ATHEIST AND I SHALL DIE AS AN ATHEIST. There are no other options. No other choices. It is impossible to believe in God while coming out of mother’s womb. It is equally impossible to believe in God while is going out and leaving this world dead and gone. In the meantime, I am most proud and happy to publicly admit that I am a part of Atheism - a worldwide movement today with no followers. Indeed, we atheists we all leaders - especially of our own destiny. Poch Suzara

Open Letter to the Catholic Bishops on House Bill 4244

September 1, 2012 Open Letter to Rev. Gabriel V. Reyes, D.D. Chairman, Episcopal Commission On family and Life Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines My dear Rev. Gabriel V. Reyes, It is incredible how you and the rest of you Catholic Bishops are against the passage of the House Bill 4244 (Reproductive Health Bill). Such a Bill could greatly help promote daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly the practice of family planning and Birth control measures among the 100 million Filipinos now populating the Philippines. Hopefully to reduce considerably the 3 babies born every minute or 1.8 million babies born yearly and indeed, needlessly in our poor and backward country. My dear Catholic Bishops, why can't we Filipinos imitate God? God himself practiced family planning and birth control measures. With the Virgin Mary, He had begotten only one Son, didn't He? Yours Sincerely, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati City

After My Death in the Afterlife, If any

After my death, if there were life after death, I would like to be with just two groups of loved-ones. The first group, I would like to see and be with are my great grandparents, grandparents, my parents, sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces. The friends I grew up with. The hard working people who worked at our homes as maids, cooks, chauffers, gardeners, plumbers, carpenters - really all great and wonderful people. They looked at me not as their employer, but simply as a decent human being to them. As for my teachers in La Salle grade school and high school - who only taught me how to pray to St. John Baptist De la Salle and to keep Jesus in our hearts forever - I hope to see all of them still mentally dead as ever. I would also like to be with the women (187 of them) that I have had relationships with. Indeed, relationship not because of money, but simply because of the taste of honey. Ours were great moments together on this earth. The second group of people I would like to meet and shake hands and intellectually listen to, and have discussions with, - are the men and women I deeply loved and highly respected: Jose Rizal, Bertrand Russell, Carl Sagan, Will Durant, Voltaire, Nietzsche, George Bernard Shaw, Tom Paine, Robert G. Ingersoll, Walt Whitman, H.L. Mencken, Jean Meslier, John Shelby Spong, Madlyn O’Hair Murray, Ruth Benedict, Hypatia, Ian Rand, Fidel Castro, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Stephen Hawking, George H. Smith, Alvin Toffler, Socrates, Plato, Epicurus, Euripides. I have neither the hope nor the wish to meet sick characters who never existed but have nevertheless have had sick influences over our sick world. I mean I do not care to meet Superman, Batman and Robin, Spider Man, Mickey Mouse, Popeye, Bugs Bunny, Mutt and Jeff, Lulu, Dick Tracy, James Bond, Moses, Noah, Joshua, Jesus and his apostles, Mary, Joseph, the holy spirit, the holy Ghost, Satan, angels of God, and the rest of the holy bible forces of evil characters who religiously fucked us Filipinos as a people and who criminally fucked our Philippines as a nation. Indeed, our history as a people has never been about the fight of good versus evil. It has always been about the fight of evil against evil and evil always won. In this day and age, criminals continue to dominate us as a people and criminals continue to rule our Philippines as a nation! And via schools, colleges, and universities - we Filipinos have been frightened enough to even believe that God has always blessed the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Cancer Cells do not give a hoot about your Power of Prayer to God

One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all disease. LUKE 9:1 What happened? Was Jesus just clowning around? Even his own apostles died of diseases! DO YOU PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVE THAT CANCER CELLS, deadly germs, bacteria, and viruses CAN HEAR AND BE MOVED BY THE POWER OF YOUR PRAYER TO GOD? The day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body because of cancer cells and deadly germs, bacteria, and viruses born with us inside our bodies. Why do you now insult God with your prayers to stop you from dying sooner or later? For my part, I welcome DEATH. It is the best and last part of LIFE! Poch Suzara

Filipinos Have Never Been Healed by Jesus

When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Luke 9:1 Indeed, I asked it before, I ask it again: How come in the whole of Asia, only the Philippines got to be converted to be a Catholic country, but not all Filipinos are Catholics as not all Filipinos have been healed as the SICK MAN OF ASIA?

Shame on You Editors

August 28, 2012 The Manila Times Letter to the Editors, Dear Editors: We are already living in the 21st century. It is incredible how you people still do not, as yet, clearly see that the one and only reason why we Filipinos in the Philippines continue to remain poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, insane socially, corrupt politically, infantile academically, degraded historically, and bankrupt economically - it is because the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century - has always been consistently BLESSED BY GOD! Today, your editorial reads: GOD BLESS CJ SERENO - AND THE PHILIPPINES. As if God has ever failed to bless daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly any of our corrupt government officials in the past and in the present! SHAME ON YOU EDITORS. Cheers!

There is Nothing Wrong with Filipinos in the Philippines

Aug. 24, 2012 Dearest Guys and Gals, I said it before, I say it again: there is nothing wrong with Filipinos in the Philippines except that it continues to be BLESSED by GOD with CATHOLICISM. Indeed, the trouble with the Philippines is that since the 16th century, today, in this already 21st century - she is still under the rule and domination of the Catholics, by the Catholics, and for the Catholics. Cheers! Poch Suzara

The Power of Thought

Ninoy Aguino said: "The Filipino is worth dying for." For my part, I should say: "The Filipino is worth thinking for." After all, there is nothing more worthy in this world than the power of thought that gives birth to the power of love and growth and development. Indeed, it is obvious: as a people, we are loveless; and, as a nation, we are thoughtless. It is what our schools, colleges, and universities have been and still are all about down here; especially for the glory of the next life with God in a heaven up out there! Poch Suzara

Life as More Precious than Death

Frightened believers tell me that they believe in God because it "gives meaning to their lives." 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, RELIGION as the most important of all subjects - I was educated to never think for myself. In fact, I was warned to read not the bible. Well, as a teenager, I did. I began to see slowly and learned gradually the lies and deceptions - the illusion, confusion, and delusion that characterize our spiritual poverty as the Sick Man of Asia in the Philippines. In the ultimate analysis, I managed, somehow, to save my precious mind and heart; NOT my silly soul. Indeed, at the age of 14 I slowly began to appreciate not only the sanity, but also the beauty and the dignity of enjoying not freedom OF religion, but freedom FROM religion. We humans live in a world of extreme poverty, hunger, and preventable diseases. Today, in this already 21st century, more than TWO BILLION people are still without access to safe drinking water, 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. And that in the meantime, we must only wait, like crippled faithfools, for the Second Coming of the Son of God Jesus who will remedy the ills of our historicaly blessed by God society? Poch Suzara

Death is not Temporary, It is Final

After death, even if one were still alive in spirit, I ask: 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 sexual organ shall we have sex; indeed, with what brain shall we think? In the final analysis, man dies entirely. We do not die partially. Nothing is more evident to him who is not delirious. The human body, after death, is but a mass of meat, incapable of producing any movement the union of which constitute life. We no longer see circulation, respiration, digestion, reflection, or declamation. Nothing is more natural and more simple than to believe that the dead man is no more. There is nothing more absurd than to believe that the dead man is still living. H. L. Mencken summarized neatly for all of us to clearly see: "Immortality is the condition of a dead man who does not believe that he is already dead." Poch Suzara Google# Atheist# Facebook# Twitter#

Daily Birth and Daily Death in this World

Aug, 23, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letters to the Editors Dear Editors, According to UN statistics an average of 360,000 babies are born each and every day in this world; and an average of 150,000 people die each and ever day in this world. One would think that God could have far more important things to do with his time and energy - like alleviating the historical troubles of Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century! God just busy daily creating babies in this world to live a life of poverty; and, to daily judge the poor souls of the dead to go to heaven or to go to hell - sounds so monotonous, so boring, so meaningless - like a broken fucking record! Sincerely, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village Makati City 0916-572-4788

Catholicism in the Philippines

There is something greater, far more delightful than the separation of the Catholic church of the Philippines away from the Catholic Church of the Vatican and that is the separation of the Philippines away from Catholicism - the greatest evil monster that has kept us Filipinos spiritually fucked as a people and has been keeping the Philippines morally fucked as a nation. Indeed, it is incredible to realize that in this already 21st century we Filipinos are still waiting for the Second Coming of a Jew, the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ - to remedy the historical ills of our sick society?

Birth and Death daily in this world

According to UN statistics an average of 360,000 babies are born each day in this world; and an average of 150,000 people die each day in the world. One would think that God could have far more important things to do with his time and energy than to create babies in this world to suffer and begin to live in a dying body and to judge the silly souls of the dead to go to heaven or to go to hell! And to think that this is the GOD we were all frightened to believe, to love, to worship, and to adore! What have we here - a supernatural monster? Poch Suzara

shame on all of your Frightened Catholics

It is truly incredible, nay, despicable, in this day and age - scholars, historians, biographers, college professors, journalists, newspaper editors, and indeed - even the Knights of Rizal are all still pretty entangled arguing back and forth about Rizal said this or said that; or Rizal wrote this or wrote that; or Rizal retracted or never retracted; or Rizal married Josephine or did not marry Josephine; or Rizal promised his mother that he will once more embrace his Catholic faith or did not; or Rizal died not as a heretic but died as a penitent Catholic; or that Rizal believed in God or did not believe in God; etc, etc, etc. In the meantime, the evil monster that had Rizal arrested, incarcerated, and publicly executed - THE CATHOLIC CHURCH - is still here pretty much enjoying more wealth, more power, more authority, and more glory keeping us Filipinos spiritually FRIGHTENED as a people and keeping the Philippines morally FRIGHTENED as a nation. Indeed, among the owner of various types of commercial enterprises, the Catholic church owns and manages more than 1,000 schools, colleges, and universities established throughout the Philippines teaching daily, weekly, monthly,and yearly that Jesus Christ is not only Savior of Filipinos, not only the Savior of the Philippines, but also the Savior of Jose Rizal! I said it before, I say it again: SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON ALL OF YOU FRIGHTENED Catholics! Poch Suzara

In the World of Fear, Ignorance, and Lies

Dearest Et Al, In the world of fear and ignorance, a man of courage and intellect is look upon as the devil himself.

Useless Traveling is like Useless Reading

God sees our tiny world of hate and violence, pain, suffering, illnesses, diseases, poverty, and misery. If God, however, can still afford to feel good and happy with his creation, I can only say that such an all-loving and all-merciful God has got to be some kind of a supernatural monster, if not a divine Jerk! Now we are told God does not want to meddle by transforming this earth into a paradise because God does not want us humans to be like robots. Upon what stupid nonsense is this argument based upon? Any intelligent child can see how we humans, if we do not have to waste time and energy solving our silly emotional problems or dealing with our stupid religious troubles, we can, instead, devote our time and energy to traveling around other planets inspecting, discovering, appreciating the beauty of God’s entire creation, and not just what he had created on this tiny planet called earth. To think that earth is so tiny in that a million of such planet earth can fit inside the sun. We are told that Nothing is impossible with God. Well, how come it has always been impossible for God to have created humans to inhabit heaven, and not to inhabit this God-forsaken earth? In the meantime, traveling is like reading or even separating way from an unhappy school premises: it is utterly useless if one cannot change; indeed, the greatest discovery of all time is simply - finding one's SELF in this world. Leonardo Da Vinci wrote briefly: "One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of the great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he could not do." As for me, a Born-again atheist, I discovered that I need never be afraid of the power of thought; especially as falsely frightened into me by my religiously frightened silly teachers to believe in La Salle grade school and high school.

THE GOOD FOR NOTHING SILLY SOULS

Everybody knows that the truth is sacred; yet nobody knows what the truth is. The same goes for free will. Everybody knows the will is free; yet nobody knows exactly what the will is. We think ourselves free because we are conscious of our wishes and desires, but we are ignorant of the root causes by which we are led to wish or to desire. Now comes the soul. Everybody knows that the soul is immortal; yet nobody has the faintest idea of what the soul is. All that is known is that the soul must be saved. But if the soul were already immortal, it means that it is imperishable, deathless, and endless. Yet, we are constantly inspired to “save” our souls. But if the soul were already immortal, “save” from what? For what? After death, or even in life, what does it matter? Who needs it? But why even bother to save a silly soul? After death, what good is a soul without a body to house it or to contain it? If the soul can exist apart from the body, then what need is there to save it? Even if, or after, you do obey your priest’s or minister’s idiotic advice ( these guys are self-appointed expert in that field ) to repent all your sins, beg God to forgive you, etc., how can you really know that your soul has been “saved?” If Adam was the first “mortal” on this earth, and as the Christians claim, gifted with the first immortal soul, then whence came all the following billions of souls since Adam? From God? How, exactly? How do you know? God created everything? Well, if this were so, God must have created time and space too. Now where was God located before he created space, and when was it before God created time? As a matter of fact, what do we really know – not just think or imagine, but actually know anything about the nature of the soul? Not a dammed thing! Just for example: what is its length, height, and width? Color? Is it round, square, or triangular? Origin? Abode? Mode of locomotion? Has a soul been smelled, tasted, touched, measured, weighted, photographed, detected, or determined with any microscope, or telescope, or meter, or instrument of any kind? The truthful answer to these simple questions is: “We don’t know!” Then how in hell does anybody know that it even exists at all? And if the soul is non-materialistic, how can it “burn forever in hell” or “saved” – or even burn for just one single second – for that matter – it it’s not made of combustible matter? If God wants the soul saved, why doesn’t he just save it? He would know how if anybody does since “God knows everything.” You or I have no power to perform such miracles? Well, suppose it turned out to be true. That souls do exist. That a billion souls pass on to the next world every 25 years or so. However, in the thousands of years that man has existed in this world, God must already be fed up with saved souls here, souls there, and saved souls everywhere in heaven. The devil too must already be fed up with damned souls here, souls there, and damned souls everywhere in hell. Ah, what about the billions of souls too in purgatory on the way to heaven. Let’s not forget the billions of souls too in Limbo on the way to nowhere as neither God nor the devil couldn’t care less for sinless, nay, worthless silly souls of men. Poch Suzara

The Church has Always Faltered All the Time

August 11, 2012 Dear Maribel Ongpin, The Church could not care less about the quality of life. For the sake of saving souls, what’s essential to the Church is the quantity of life. The more souls there are to be saved, the business is better for the Church. Thus, the evils of family planning and birth control practice – the only way the Church stays in business for the accumulation of more wealth, more power, and more glory and authority. Yes, abortion is evil. Besides, it is no thrill to kill a baby inside the mother’s womb. It’s called murder; and murder is a crime. What’s more thrilling, however, is to let the babies be conceived, let them be born, let them grow up a bit, then give them a fighting chance, and then kill them. Kill them with malnutrition, filthy surroundings, rotten sanitation, parental neglect, diseases, or asphyxia from vehicular soot and lead. Indeed, many of the nation’s poor children play, trade, sell, eat and sleep, pee and poo, and God knows what else they do – in the streets of our major cities. What’s the Catholic purpose in being so overly concerned with babies not yet existing, and at the same time be apathetic with children already existing but also already sick and dying? Isn’t this the height of religious hypocrisy? If we do not abandon our children in the streets, we abandon them in school. There, for the most part, they are taught not to learn how to stand up to needs of the human race, but only how to faithfully kneel down to divine grace. How to seek a life of piety by ignoring knowledge and wisdom that should inspire them to carry on a decent and a healthy society. Indeed, for the most part, they only learn how to love divine grace up there by hating the human race down here. The Catholic church indeed, faltered, but not only sometimes, it does so all the time. Year in and year out. As the owners of more than 1,000 schools, colleges, and universities look how daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - the church teaches millions of Filipino students to follow and obey: - "LOVE NOT THIS WORLD (Philippines) neither the things that are in the world. If any man (Filipino) love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15. And since we are also taught to believe that there is a better world to come after death, we need not worry about tomorrow because with God's blessings, tomorrow will take care of itself. Matt. 6:34. Or, via the power of prayer - to believe that in order to escape God's wrath, we must only embrace not love of country, but love of divinity. In the meantime, the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart. Such poverty is what our basic system of education has been and still is all about. Take a deep look at an average Filipino: He is more conversant with the life of a Jewish fellow popularly known as Jesus Christ than he is at home or familiar with the life and works of a Filipino thinker - Jose Rizal - one of the greatest of men this world has ever produced. And to think that what ails our sick country precisely comes from the teachings of the Catholic church. Look how millions upon millions of us Filipinos have been taught to believe that our Jose Rizal was a NOBODY compared to Jesus Christ - the Savior of our souls and the Savior of our country - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Isn't it time to figure out just exactly why, in our sick country, life in general can be characterized as the daily competition to be the criminal or be the victim of the criminals. Indeed, look how we Filipinos all love Jesus up there, especially by hating one another down here? And why not - since Jesus clearly preached: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethrern, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 Well, as if such horrors were not enough to keep us spiritually poor as a people and to keep us morally bankrupt as a nation, here are more holy messages from Jesus - our kind and loving Savior: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." Matt. 10:34-37 For my part, as a publicly-declared, openly-avowed humanist and a humanist is an atheist who cares, I rest my case! With my best wishes always, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati City Pocholsuzara@yahoo.com 0916-572-4788

Was Jesus Crucified on a Cross or Hanged on a Tree

Listen to the truth as revealed in the bible by the inspired authors of God. Read what they wrote about what was written on the cross of crucified 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 that one 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, strangely enough, it is also revealed as a truih: “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, 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.”

As for me, in the last analysis, if it turned out true that the Jews crucified Jesus on the cross, I’d rather love, worship, and adore the Jews - God's Chosen people. They knew exactly what they were doing! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

We Are Blessed by God How and with What

The day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. If we live for, say some 80 years, while God has been existing for 80,000,000 years - we would have lived a split second long in comparison. We also live on a particle of dust called "earth" floating aimlessly in space and going no where in time. In this connection, I ask: Have you ever met any one who has been blessed by God? Blessed how and blessed with what? Have you ever met any one whose great grandparents are still alive with health and wealth because they have been blessed by God on this earth with the power of prayer? Poch Suzara

The Philippines Famous as the Sick Nation of Asia

Self-deception is the greatest tragedy of the Filipinos as a people. Theodoro A. Agoncillo, Historian For my part, I said it before, I say it again: The Catholic church with its wealth, power, glory, and authority has been and still is the greatest stumbling block that's keeping us Filipinos frightened from growing, maturing, and developing as a free, sane, independent, and a healthy nation in Asia. Poch Suzara,

Come You Guys - Come out Straight to the Point

Come on you guys - why not come out straight to the point? Why beat around the bush? Do we really need all these linguistic contortions from you experts? We Filipinos have never, never been educated to save ourselves by way of growing up as a thinking people and by way of developing ourselves as a working nation. On the contrary, we are only suppose to believe that this life in this world is only a transition to a better life to come after we are dead! And we frightened lunatics more known as Catholics, as products of schools, colleges, and universities in our own country still believe such holy lies and sacred deceptions in this already 21st century!

Only a Fool says in his Heart - there is NO God

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good."Psalms 14:1 We, the wise, the brave, the free - the atheists - we say it to the world loud and clear. "The Fool says to himself, 'There is a God who cares even for fools like me.'" In the meantime, there was once upon a time when all men, women, and children throughout the world believed, loved, and venerated God; and the Catholic church ruled the whole wide world with total power, authority, and glory. Historians refer to it as the Dark Ages. In the Philippines today in this already 21st century - millions of Filipinos are still living in the DARK AGES! Via schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic church. Catholicism is still pretty much in authority, power, and glory over the minds and hearts of millions of Filipinos. Jesus is believed to be our one and only Savior. To think that Jesus was not even born a Filipino. He was born as a Jewish child of Jewish parents in a Jewish land. To think further that Jesus was neither raised nor educated as a Catholic! And to think even deeper, Israel, the land where Jesus was born, was never converted like the Philippines to be a Catholic country. It is still - a Jewish State. In the final analysis, the fool who does not read the holy bible is the bigger fool. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Catholics Monks Behind the Knights of Rizal

Dear Manny Almario, Bob Bernardo, Would it too much to conclude that it was precisely catholic monks who organized the KNIGHTS OF RIZAL organization precisely to keep the real Rizal stay hidden away from the Filipinos as a people and as a nation? Indeed, to keep Rizal away from the world view to fully recognize him as a freethinker, atheist, freedom fighter, and a heretic? I have yet to hear one Knight of Rizal stand up and speak out loud and clear that compared to Jose Rizal, Jesus Christ was nothing but a Lilliputian!

Our Freedom and Democracy Under God's Word

Aug. 6, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Manila, Philippines Letter to the Editors GOD'S WORD The Catholic church hierarchy urged our lawmakers to listen to God's word. (PDI, Aug. 6,2012). Especially in dealing with the RH Bill - the much-needed legislation to hopefully improve the quality of Filipino life in general in our poor and backward only Christian country in Asia. According to the holy bible, however, here are those words from God. We Filipinos, no doubt, have been faithfully following such God's word ever since Christianity was introduced into our shores some 400 years ago: “If anyone comes to me and does not HATE father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple."Luke 14:26 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." Matt. 10:34-37 I said it before, I say it again: There was once upon a time when all men, women, and children throughout the world believed, followed, and obeyed God and the Catholic church ruled with absolute authority. Historians refer to it as the DARK AGES. In the Philippines today in this already 21st century - we Filipinos are still living in the DARK AGES! Look how the Catholic hierarchy still have much to say as what laws must not be legislated by our lawmakers. Our lawmakers feel a sense of sin against God if they do not follow and obey the moral authority of the Catholic church hierarchy in our country. In fact, we too, as a people, feel a sense of shame if we show more love for our country down here. We must only always show love for divinity up there. Freedom and democracy in the Philippines is hardly a national beauty. Thanks to church authority it continues to be a historical mockery against the growth of common Filipino decency as a people; and, against the development of the Philippines as a decent nation. Yours Sincerely, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village Makati, Philippines

The Religious War of GOOD against EVIL

"All religious systems enslave the mind. Certain things are demanded--certain things must be believed -- certain things must be done -- and the man who becomes the subject or servant of this superstition must give up all idea of individuality or hope of intellectual growth or progress." Robert G. Ingersoll Religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality. Bertrand Russell Religious war against each other is not about GOOD versus EVIL; it has always been and still is about EVIL versus EVIL and EVIL has always won otherwise more popularly known as Christianity, Islam or Judaism - the organization for world-wide destruction and not the more desirable organization for world-wide cooperation via reconstruction.
