Spiritual Hunger Hogwash

"Only Christ the Living bread can satisfy our spiritual hunger." .. Philippine Star, Dec. 12, 2013. . . Oh Jesus, my dear Jesus Christ, forget our spiritual hunger. In this already 21st century, millions of your faithful Filipino followers have been and are still in desperate need for food, clothing, medicine, and shelter. The religious horror has been going on since your Apostles conquered and transformed the Philippines into the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century... Nakakahiya ka Lord! ... You are suppose to be the Savior of the Filipinos and the Savior of the Philippines... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Winter Solstice

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

Where is God in the Here and Now

We were told by our teachers in grade school that we must believe in the existence of God, our creator, and because God is existing here, existing there, and existing everywhere... Ever since then I had my doubts as I began to question God's existence... And so, even as a little boy in school I was already somewhat atheistic; though I was not that articulate enough to express my real religious sentiments. I thought then as I still do think today in my old age, I'd be happy to believe in the existence of God if only He could exist not there, exist not everywhere, just exist only here and now where we could all be with Him as a God to each and every one of us with all of His power and glory as a Supreme Being...

Useless Believers versus Useful Thinkers

Believing is the death of thinking. . . We all live in such a poor and backward country because Catholic schools, Catholic colleges, and Catholic universities are mostly about teaching the nation's children how to become useless believers; but not learning how to become useful thinkers. . . Thus, in this only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos are only getting more famous as the employees, not employers; the consumers, not producers; the followers, not leaders, - indeed, we Filipinos are getting more famous throughout the world as the frightened Man, not the enlightened Man of Asia.

Einstein, Russell, Mandela, Jose Rizal

Albert Einstein in Defense of Bertrand Russell: Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly. . . Albert Einstein Bertrand Russell in defense of men like Nelson Mandela: "No, the greatest men have not been “serene. They have had, it is true, an ultimate courage, a power of creating beauty where nature has put only horror, which may, to a petty mind, appear like serenity... But their courage has had to surpass that of common men, because they have seen deeper into the indifference of nature and the cruelty of man... To cover up these things with comfortable lies is the business of cowards; the business of great men is to see them with inflexible clarity, and yet to think and feel nobly... And in the degree in which we can all be great, this is the business of each one of us."... Bertrand Russell Nelson Mandela in Defense of great men like our Jose Rizal: "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."... Nelson Mandela Jose Rizal in defense of his people, the Filipino people still in search of freedom; especially, the freedom of thought: "I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, and honorable. . . make study a thing of love and joy . . . the schoolroom should not be a place of sorrows but a scene of intellectual refreshment." As with me, an atheist, here's my message to all of you religious saps: Atheism is a worldwide movement today without frightened followers.

Faith

Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated. . . . Christopher Hitchens . . .

Free Will is a Farce, a Fraud, and a Ceremony

Oh Lord, when will you ever Listen

To Believe Lyrics "To Believe" was released on 6/11/2011. It was written by EVANCHO, MATTHEW DAVID. Before I lay me down to rest I ask the Lord one small request I know I have all I could need But this prayer is not for me Too many people on this day Don't have a peaceful place to stay Let all fighting cease that your children may see peace Wipe their tears of sorrow away (chorus) To believe in a day When hunger and war will pass away To have the hope amidst despair That every sparrow's counted That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer Let me try always to believe That we can hear the hearts that grieve Please help us not ignore The anguished cries of the poor Or their pain will never leave (chorus ) To believe in a day When hunger and war will pass away To have the hope amidst despair That every sparrow's counted That you hear their cries and listen to each prayer (spoken prayer) Father, as you see, I'm just a child And there's so much to understand But if Your Grace should surround me Then I'll do the best I can I promise, I'll do the very best I can (chorus plus) To believe in a day When hunger and war will pass away To have the hope amidst despair That every sparrow's counted That you hear each cry and listen to each Prayer {Hear each cry and listen to each prayer} Help us do Your will oh Father In the name of all that's true And we'll see in one another The loving image of You Songwriters EVANCHO, MATTHEW DAVID

Public Library

When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself... Isaac Asimov . . . In the Philippines, there is no such thing as public library. Instead, what we have are thousands of schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated tax-free by the Catholic Church. . . In other words, we Filipinos have never found a way to recreate ourselves either as a thinking people or as a thinking nation. . . In the meantime, thanks to our Catholic system of education, we still believe and have faith that in the problems created by new knowledge, we can solve such problems not with more knowledge, but only with the same old fear of fucking with the Lord Jesus, or with the same old fucking prayers. . .

Deceiving Others or Having Faith in God

“Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.” ― Oscar Wilde . . . Deceiving others is what is more known in the Philippines as having "faith in God."

Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it. . . . Marian Wright Edelman (1939-) American activist for the rights of children.

Education is the inculcation of silly doctrines into the malleable minds of children by the frightened faithfools on earth down here; especially for the greater glory of Jesus in heaven up there.

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. . . Matt. 7:7-8 . . . It is glaringly obvious, if not alarmingly translucent that there are poor people in atheist countries because they do not ASK, SEEK, or KNOCK; in fact, they never bother God who will provide for them by simply asking, seeking, and knocking as the bible says. . . In the Philippines, the only catholic country in Asia, millions upon millions of Filipinos since the 16th century have prayed daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, to God in order to provide for them with daily bread and to lead them not into temptation. So how come 80 per cent of the population of the Philippines are still stuck not in prosperity, but in poverty? . . . Poch Suzara

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”. . . Edmund Burke . . . Oh my dear Edmund Burke, for my part, as a good man myself, I am getting sick and tired of doing something against triumph of evil as it is always triumphant. Look at the history of our world. It has never been about good versus evil. It has always been about evil versus evil and evil has always ended up triumphant in the long run. . . We are damned if we do something about it. We are damned if we do nothing about it. . . And to think that we are all taught to believe that God gifted man with a free will because he loves us! In the ultimate analysis, I think for good to triumph is for good men to always be on the side of humanity, and no longer waste time and energy and money always taking the side of a silly divinity.

This is simply because we all have been taught to believe and to have faith in God who will always provide for us, if not in this world, in the next world to come after death in the kingdom of God...

Pleasure and Pain

Shouldn't the atheist have an equal obligation in a world of randomness. Where does pleasure come from? G. K. Chesterton?. . . When pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure.

Happiness differs from pleasure in the sense that pleasure comes from what is outside the self... Happiness comes from what is inside the self...

Happy thanksgiving Day

Americans, with the power of prayer, have God to celebrate THANKSGIVING DAY for the conquest of the Continent away from the Indians. The Indians, with the power of prayer also, have God to celebrate THANKSGIVING DAY for the conquest of Alcatraz Island away from the Americans. After many Indians and many Americans have killed each other in order to carry out God's divine plan - to establish what is known as the United States of America - the Land of the free, and the Home of the brave - I say: such is the power of prayer behind the power of God. HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY! . . . We are told that - "The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude for.". . . well, this is precisely what the rich Americans have been grateful about for more than 200 years. The poor Indians have nothing to be grateful about; except that, happily, the poor Indians have the last laugh at the American state of affairs today . . .

Behind Every Fortune is a Crime In the Philippines

Behind every fortune made in the Philippines is not only a crime; there is also a woman's behind... Of course we do not refer to these filthy rich saps as "criminals...

The horror is all so true. However, let us not forget what is also true: Behind the Filipino historical sufferings from endless poverty comes from the insanity in having too much useless faith in a heavenly divinity that made us, as the Sick Man of Asa, believe that poverty will eventually subside for as long as we continue to have faith in God who will provide. In the meantime, I asked it before, I ask it again: have any of you college-educated jerks ever heard of a Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for believing that God is BAD?

In the meantime, as an atheist, I don't believe in the existence of hell; but if I ever do believe it, I believe it to be a place filled with souls of teachers in Catholic schools, professors in Catholic universities, and Catholic politicians in our government; and of course in hell are the corrupt souls of the corrupt Catholic bishops historically keeping the Filipinos poor and corrupt as a Catholic people, and the Philippines backward and corrupt as a Catholic nation.

Christianity always had a vested interest in poverty, pain, suffering, misery, and depravity. Christianity has been and still is the most destructive evil force in the Philippines. Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - Christianity destroys the minds and hearts of millions of Filipino children in school. To become not well-informed citizens of our country, but only to embrace a lifetime of faith in a silly divinity existing eternally in partnership with a silly deviltry. Destructive typhoon, like "Yolanda" is a child's play compared to the death and destructive force caused by the historical teachings of Christianity: We must love only Jesus up there by hating each other in our own country down here. That we should have no country to love after birth; only to believe and to have faith in a better world to come with Jesus in the next life after death! Otherwise, if we do not believe, if we do not have faith in Jesus - we shall burn forever in hell as punishment for our disobedience!

I said it before, I say it again: I love all the great men and great women of history. Most of all, despite its horrors and terrors, I love this world. And I am most happy and proud that I was born in this world especially as this is the only world I know and will ever know. Soon I shall be dead; and, as a dying atheist, I can assure you, my dear reader, that I shall die enlightened; and not frightened of the lies, deceptions, illusions, and delusions behind religion! Oh Yes, soon, I shall be leaving this world. I have no worries about life after death as I am aware that if there is life after death I shall be existing as a nothing. Just like before my birth, for billions of years, I was existing as a nothing. So really, I ask: what is there to be bothered about death? Whether we like it or not, we shall all have to face death sooner or later. Indeed, to face once again what we were before birth - existing as a nothing. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# google#

If God were all powerful, all-knowing, loving, just, and all-merciful, why is there so much pain, mess, and suffering in the world? Especially in the Philippines the only Catholic country in Asia!

I also think that for people to kill God in order to save God is the highest form of insanity, if not the lowest form of stupidity. . . Well, what if it turns out that there is NO God? What will it matter? Will it change anything? Of course, considering our fear inextricably mixed with our ignorance, we can always invent a God to make us feel there is always somebody out there who love us and who will save us! The God business therefore has always been big business. Among the richest organizations in the world are the ones selling what a lot of frightened people would readily be buying - Jesus - the Son of God, the Savior of the world! In the meantime, the Bible says God cannot change ( Numbers 23:19; 1 Samuel 15:29; Psalm 102:26-27; Malachi 3:6; Romans 11:29; Hebrews 6:17-18; James 1:17), and that he is all-knowing ( Job 37:16; Psalm 147:4-5; 1 John 3:20). But the New Testament teaches that Jesus did change and that he didn't even know the day or hour of his return ( Mark 13:32; Luke 2:40,52). How can Jesus be God if he doesn't even have these essential attributes of a God? Bertrand Russell summarized it fearlessly: "Religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality. . .

James 4:7-`10 Oh God, my dear God, for more than 2,000 years in the world, and for than 400 years in the Philippines, haven't we Filipinos been resisting the devil? Have we not been humble and always faithful to you living as Christians in this only christian country in Asia? So how come the devil is still around existing seeing to it that we Filipinos continue to be famous, more than ever, as the SICK MAN OF ASIA? Look how, as a sick people, we continue to pray daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly the Lord's prayer - "Give us this day our daily bread and lead us not into temptation..." Oh God, my dear God, never mind the bread. We are already used to not eating them. But when will you stop leading us Filipinos into temptation? I asked God before, but apparently God does not care to listen. I ask you again: What are you a God for? Specially for us poor Filipinos in the Philippines?

Matthew 28:20 Oh Jesus, my dear Jesus, ever since the arrival of Christianity during the 16th century, millions upon millions of us Filipinos in the Philippines have certainly been your faithful followers. Today, in this already 21st century, we still do live up to your commands - Specially as you stated: “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."

Our Savior Jesus and Yolanda Typoon

Now how about saving the lives of millions of Filipinos in Western Visayas hit by the most destructive typhoon "Yolanda" ever recorded in world history? The Swiss, the Chinese, Americans, Japanese, Canadians, Australians, Germans, French, Canadians, Indonesians, Taiwanese; in fact, most member nations of the United nations have already arrived to help out donating food, water, clothing, shelter, and medicine! Not to mention millions of dollars in cash! Equipments. And a hospital ship with doctors, nurses, and surgical facilities from China! What about your apostles? When are they coming? Specially as they are gifted with power and authority from you to cure all manner of diseases? Indeed, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present of help in trouble. Psalms 46:1 I suppose you are much pleased with the officials of our government - they are out busy praying for more miracles from foreign countries to arrive. They are proud of the Catholic Pope also sending more prayers for the suffering victims of the monster typhoon reminding them of the words of Jesus: "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

The Lesson We must all Learn from TYPHOON YOLANDA

The lesson we all must learn as Filipinos from the Typhoon monster "Yolanda" - our Japanese Tsunami, our American Katrina: --- No doubt, there was 10 per cent malice; but there was 90 per cent gratitude. . . Indeed, help, tons of help came from humans known as Americans, Japanese, British, Canadians, Australians, Germans, French, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Indonesians, Scandinavians, especially the Swiss citizens, etc. because of, if not due to, their sense of common humanity. There was no sign of divinity anywhere whatsoever. No God and his angels, no Jesus and his apostles, no saints of the church. It is time for all of us to fully recognize and to fully acknowledge that there is something far more precious, more useful, and more meaningful when it comes to our common sense of, and for humanity.

Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock.” Numbers 31: 17-18 “Now therefore KILL every male among the little ones, and KILL every woman (female) that hath known man by lying (having sex) with him. “But keep ALIVE for yourselves all the GIRLS and all the women who are VIRGINS.” Numbers 31: 35 “And the Jews salvaged for themselves 32,000 virgins” 1 John 2:15 "Love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Eccl 1:18 "For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." Isaiah 45:7 " I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do these things." Luke 14:26 "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and children, and brethrern, yea, his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Psalms 22:1 "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? Matthew 10:34-37 “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." Luke 19:27 "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hithher, and slay them for me." Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. In view of the recent monster typhoon "Yolanda" - our Japanese Tsunami, our American Katrina - that caused the death and destruction of hundreds of thousands of already impoverished Filipinos, Matthew, as one inspired author of God, must have been a stupid jerk, if not a silly clown writing nonsense in the bible for Christ's sake!

Greta Christina, speaking at Reason Rally, National Mall, Washington, DC, 2012-03-24 . . . For my part, I am angry atheist because of what Christianity has done to my people and to my country. . . We Filipinos are nothing but sick as a people, and nothing but sick as a nation. . . We all have been taught to believe that there is nothing precious in this life existing earthly in the here and now; only something heavenly later after death with the pie in the sky later by and by. . . Indeed, everything is a dismal failure with us Filipinos in the Philippines; except religion in its churches and cathedrals and in schools, colleges, and universities - religion has always been and still is a great success! . . . Consider the horrors with millions upon millions of us Filipinos in this already 21st century: we still do believe and have faith in the message revealed as the truth in the holy bible: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 . . . Thus, our traditional Christian approach to nature has been a major contributing factor to ecological destruction. The belief that there is a better world to come after death has led to our disregard even of our natural of resources. We believe instead that the only things of true value are those found with Jesus in heaven. Our country, our people and nature and the flesh - we see as low and depraved and unworthy and therefore should be of no consequence to life coming in the next life. Our country is merely a stopover on our journey to the next world with God in heaven. Therefore the less love and less respect placed on it and more love and more respect placed on God and religion the better our chances to win eternal salvation with Jesus in the next world. I am told by my enemies, friends, associates, and relatives that as an angry atheist I am full of hate. Indeed, I am full of hate and proud of it.

God as a Super-Atheist

God is not only An Atheist, but a Super-Atheist . . . In the realm of the natural, humans differ in their views about how the universe came into existence. . . While some claim that a supernatural being created the universe, others claim that the universe came into existence without having been created by some supernatural influence. . . Traditionally, we call the first group "theists" and the second group "atheists". . . Let's assume for the sake of argument that God does indeed exist, and that he created the natural universe that we live in. . . Let's also further assume that religions that claim to be revealed by God are in fact revealed by God. . . Let's go even more and assume that what God revealed is what God believes is true (ie. God is not lying to us). . . So what is revealed to us through religions is that God of religions created this universe, and that he was not created, but rather God came into existence without having been created by some kind of "super god". . . The question becomes: Is God an atheist? Certainly God cannot prove nor disprove the claim that he was created by some "super god"... So in reality the fact that God does not believe in the existence of a "super god" in a very real sense makes him super-atheist!!! Poch Suzara

Or whether the existence of something holy is a He or a She or an It. In the meantime, I am often asked: Why does it bother me that other people believe in God? . . . In a nutshell, for the same reason it SHOULD bother you: to have frightened saps and jerks who are mentally sick, pushing their lies and deceptions and delusions upon the rest of society, specially to twist and distort the the innocent minds of children in school! . . .

Research

"Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing." - Wernher Von Braun (1912-1977) . . . In my case, as a high school expelled student, research is my way of verifying whether there was any validity or even reliability as to my teacher's stand in school that their answers have been far more precious than my questions!. . . In the meantime, Scientists Stephen Hawking said it briefly and truthfully: - "The Greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." . . . For my part, I said it before, I say it again: the greatest enemy against the growth of human intelligence is not hard thinking, but easy believing. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Google# facebook#

The Existence of Evil in the Philippines

There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless. . . W. Somerset Maugham. . . My dear Somerset Maugham, I entirely agree with you; except that in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia - it is highest form of stupidity, if not the lowest form of insanity if we Filipinos only continue to believe and to have faith in the existence of evil as the necessary part of the order of the universe that makes us famous as the Sick Man on this earth gifted with a Free Will by God in heaven. . .

SUCCESS in the Philippines

Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success. . . Dale Carnegie. . . In the Philippines, the most politically corrupt, religiously insane, and the most crime-ridden society; and, indeed, the only Christian country in Asia, "success" is what most college-educated Filipinos settle for. We have no intellectual capacity to do something higher, greater, or noble enough to be failing at. . . Indeed, we are NOT a nation of great men and great women who have the power, the courage, and the intellect to put beauty into our country where nature has only put horrors! . . . We Filipinos are only contented to be a nation of sinners and criminals and prayers, indeed, historically, only to continue at being the faithful victims, and not the fearless masters of our own destiny! . .

The Jewish Wailing Wall

A reporter goes to Israel to cover the fighting. She is looking for something emotional and positive and of human interest. Something like that guy in Sarajevo who risked his life to play the cello everyday in the town square. In Jerusalem, she heard about an old Jew who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She goes to the Wailing Wall and there he is! So she watches him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview. "Rebecca Smith, CNN News. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?" "For about 50 years." "What do you pray for?" "For peace between the Jews and the Arabs. For all the hatred to stop. For our children to grow up in safety and friendship." "How do you feel after doing this for 50 years?" "Like I'm talking to a fucking wall." Oh My Dear Rabbi, Your Wailing Wall exist only there. Not existing here, and not existing everywhere... We Filipinos pray nightly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly to our Catholic God existing here, existing there, and existing everywhere... You can imagine how the few of us thinking Filipinos feel today after praying for more than 400 years in this only Catholic country in Asia! We continue to faithfully remain spiritually poor as a people, and morally bankrupt as a nation! Cheers! Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Google#

FREE WILL versus GOD'S DIVINE PLAN

What's wrong with us Filipinos? We have no heritage from the past worthy to defend or to protect or even to respect. . . We have no promises for the future to look forward to with pride, dignity, and self-respect. . . Nevertheless, however, we all believe and have faith that after we are dead we shall inherit a better world to come with God, with the Son of God Jesus together with His Jewish Apostles, and with the Virgin Mary, His Jewish Mother of God in heaven. . . In the meantime, we Filipinos all have faith that God gifted us with a FREE WILL; but with our daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly prayers we feel that we also have the FREE WILL to fuck around with God's divine plan! . . .

The One and Only Famous Filipino Atheist

I entirely agree with my friend Danding Jimenez that "Filipinos are almost invisible in the world scene in terms of art and culture and intellectual, literary and artistic influence. - There are Almost no industrial products from the Philippines. - No great Philippine Olympian - No great Philippine Nobel Prize winner - No great Filipino general - No great Filipino philosopher - No world-renowned Filipino poet - Almost no great and world renowned Filipino fashion designer - No great, internationally renowned Philippine pianist, conductor, composer, operatic singer. - Almost no great, internationally renowned Philippine literary figure. - Almost no great, internationally renowned Philippine political figure. - Almost no great, internationally renowned Philippine scientist. - May I, however, point out an exception: there is one great Filipino with guts and gumption enough to declare publicly in this only Catholic country in Asia that he is an ATHEIST; and, that he has far more love, respect, and admiration for Jose Rizal than he has for the Son of God Jesus.

Mathematicians More Truthful than the Theologians

2 plus 2 equals 4 is a revealed truth by the mathematicians of this world. Indeed, the Multiplication Table is the perfect model of truth... It is free from dogma, hogma, and pigma. . . I asked it before, I ask it again: - how come the theologians of this world have utterly failed to reveal the "revealed truth" in the holy bible - a book filled with lies, deceptions, illusions, confusions, delusions, contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, vulgarities, and atrocities? The multiplication table can never be successfully tampered with, or mistranslated. The same can never be said of the Bible. There are more than 57 different versions of the bible sold in bookstores today. There is only one multiplication table and, without conflict, can be universally & unequivocally comprehended: the opposite must be said about the Bible. I would like to know, why does the Holy Bible need to be interpreted by only certain "theologians" while any child is free to interpret & master the multiplication table? Indeed, there is no need for sick teachers to force children in school to believe that 1 plus 1 equals 2. Poch Suzara

The Sick Holy Bible

"Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself." ... Robert G. Ingersoll... "Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel."... Thomas Paine... "The Bible is not the 'word of God,' but stolen from pagan sources. Its Eden, Adam and Eve were taken from the Babylonian accounts; its Flood and Deluge is but an epitome of some four hundred flood accounts; its Ark and Ararat have their equivalents in a score of Deluge myths; even the names of Noah's sons are copies, so also Isaac's sacrifice, Solomon's judgment, and Samson's pillar acts; its Moses is fashioned after the Syrian Mises; its laws after Hammurabi's code. Its Messiah is derived from the Egyptian Mahdi, Savior, certain verses are verbatim copies of Egyptian scriptures. Between Jesus and the Egyptian Horus, Gerald Massy found 137 similarities, and those between Christ and Krishna run into the hundreds. How then can the Bible be a revelation to the Jews?"... Lloyd Graham... It is not those parts of the Bible that I do not READ that bothers me. It is those parts I do seriously READ that bothers me enough to spread the TRUTH not yet REVEALED in the bible by INSPIRED authors of God... Poch Suzara

Filipinos as Sick Employees in Foreign Countries

“He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.” Matt. 10:1 . . . It is truly tragic. As the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century the apostles of Jesus miserably failed to drive out the evil spirits and utterly failed also to heal every disease and sickness in the Philippines... We Filipinos only continue to be famous as the sick people of Asia, and not considered as the healthy masters in our own country. And what is even more tragic, is when the foreigners are here as our "foreign investors." They are here as our "employers." When we Filipinos are in their country, we are there as their "employees." Indeed, it is time to look at our sick system of education where the results, historically, continue to be the same recycled garbage: Millions of college-educated Pinoys and Pinays are only educated enough to be the "employees" or only to be "servants" of any of the three of the greatest ECONOMIC MONSTERS keeping our country poor and backward: The corrupt officials of the church, the corrupt officials of the government, and both together always in cahoots together with the corrupt officials as the foreign investors in the Philippines. . .

Verses in the Bible that Treat Women as the Tootie-Frooties of this world

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet." (1 Timothy 2:12 "Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses." (1 Samuel 15:3) "You shall not let a sorceress live." (Exodus 22:18) "Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock." (Psalm 137:9) "When the men would not listen to his host, the husband seized his concubine and thrust her outside to them. They had relations with her and abused her all night until the following dawn, when they let her go. Then at daybreak the woman came and collapsed at the entrance of the house in which her husband was a guest, where she lay until the morning. When her husband rose that day and opened the door of the house to start out again on his journey, there lay the woman, his concubine, at the entrance of the house with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, 'Come, let us go'; but there was no answer. So the man placed her on an ass and started out again for home." (Judges 19:25-28) "And the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity." (Romans 1:27) "Jephthah made a vow to the Lord. 'If you deliver the Ammonites into my power,' he said, 'whoever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites shall belong to the Lord. I shall offer him up as a holocaust.' ... When Jephthah returned to his house in Mizpah, it was his daughter who came forth, playing the tambourines and dancing. She was an only child: he had neither son nor daughter besides her. When he saw her, he rent his garments and said, 'Alas, daughter, you have struck me down and brought calamity upon me. For I have made a vow to the Lord and I cannot retract'." (Judges 11:30-1, 34-5) "Then God said: 'Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. There you shall offer him up as a holocaust on a height that I will point out to you'."(Genesis 22:2) "Wives should be subordinate to their husbands as to the Lord." (Ephesians 5:22) "Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse." (1 Peter 2:18) . . . Poch Suzara

If Jesus Was God - The Savior of the World

If Jesus was God - the Savior of the world, then who was he praying to on the cross when he cried our loud:, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me"? ( Mark 15:34; Matthew 27:46) Was he praying to himself? If so, was he complaining to himself about why he had forsaken himself? Whatever happened to the power of prayer? How come it did not work for Jesus? But then again, if Jesus was God and he very well knew that after His death on the cross, He will resurrect back to life after three days, why would He feel forsaken by His relatives on earth as they were in heaven? . . .

I was Always a Dunce in Class

In La Salle grade school and high school, I was lied to, deceived, deluded, confused, laughed at, bullied, frightened, and bamboozled by our teachers in class. Especially in the subject of religion and history.,. During the first day of the week, on Mondays, I was always chastised by our Principal for getting failing marks in most of the subjects in my Report Card. I was always famous as a class Dunce. It seemed so alarmingly obvious, if not apparently translucent that I found it hard to take my teachers seriously. I always doubted the veracity in what my teachers took for granted, that is, I should have no problem in believing or having faith in this or that.

Women in the bible Treated like pieces of Meat for Sex Activities

You may find the following Bible verses hard to believe even though fundamentalist Christians claim they are inspired by God and everything in the Bible is true for all time and must be taken literally. (Keep in mind that Bible translations differ.) 1. In the Bible's book of Deuteronomy it says that if a man marries a woman and then decides that he hates her, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they married. At that point her father must prove she was a virgin. (How is not explained.) If he can't, then the girl is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep. 2. If you see a pretty woman among your captives and would like her for a wife, then bring her home and "go in unto her." Later, if you decide you don't like her, you can simply "let her go." (Deuteronomy) 3. If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, then "the men of the city shall stone her to death." (Deuteronomy) 4. In the book of Esther the king apparently decrees a sex contest among young virgin women to see who can best please him. (There is debate on how.) He eventually chooses Esther. However, since women are viewed as inherently dirty, Esther must be "purified" for twelve months before she can be made queen. (Esther) 5. Paul points out in New Testament Romans that "the natural use" of women is to provide men with sex. (Romans) 6. Heaven is to be inhabited by 144,000 virgin men who have not been "defiled" by women. (RE 14:1-4) [One wonders how this squares with God's command to, "Be fruitful and multiply...(Genesis )] 7. A group of sexual depraved men beat on the door of an old man's house demanding that he turn over to them a male house guest. Instead, the old man offers his virgin daughter and his guest's wife: "Behold, here are my virgin daughter and his concubine (wife); let me bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but against this man do not do so vile a thing." The women were subsequently ravished and killed. (JG)) 8. In Exod. we see that it is permissible to sell one's daughter (but apparently not one's son) into slavery.. 9. According to St. Jerome, "Nothing is so unclean as a woman in her periods; what she touches she causes to be unclean." In Leviticus it states, "If a woman conceives and bears a male child, she shall be ceremonially unclean seven days...if she bears a female child she shall be unclean two weeks...." 10. "A woman dropped a stone on his head and cracked his skull. Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, 'Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can't say a woman killed me.' So his servant ran him through, and he died." (Judges) 11. Under God's direction, Moses' army kills all the adult males, but they mercifully just take the women and children captive. When Moses learns that they left some women and children alive, he angrily says: "Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him." Throughout Bible history God is said to demand that thousands, if not millions, of men, women and children be slaughtered. And they are. 12. A man has an obligation to produce a child with his brother's widow. If he refuses, his sister-in-law is to spit in his face in front of the elders. (Deuteronomy 25:5-9) And in case you are Jewish, you may be familiar with the Jewish prayer: "Blessed be the God who has not created me a heathen, a slave or a woman." We've only listed a dozen Bible quotes of this type, but there are many more. Would we be wrong in assuming that even Bible literalists wouldn't want these verses read to their children in Bible School? Plus, what parent would want their children reading Bible verses comparing the size of men's penises to donkey genitals and their sperm flow to that of horses? Books are commonly banned from school libraries for much less. Most Old Testament law dates back centuries to Jewish tribal law and would be considered not only immoral but illegal today. At the same time, fundamentalist, Bible-carrying Christians claim they are the for-all-time, inviolable Word of God... Poch Suzara
