Richard Burton - the Atheist

According to the Denver Post, Richard Burton wrote this in his diary in 1969: "The more I read about man and his maniacal ruthlessness and his murderous envious scatological soul, the more I realize that he will never change. Our stupidity is immortal, nothing will change it. The same mistakes, the same prejudices, the same injustice, the same lusts wheel endlessly around the parade ground of the centuries. Immutable and ineluctable. I wish I could believe in a god of some kind but I simply cannot." . . . Richard Burton, Welsh actor (1925-1984 Oh, my dear Richard Burton, you are right on target: the history of our world has never been about the struggle between GOOD against EVIL; NO, on the contrary, it has always been and still is about the history of EVIL versus EVIL and EVIL always wins! Thus, stupidity and eternity are one and the same old evil as inspired by a silly divinity always in cahoots with a silly deviltry. As soon as Atheism brings about the death of religion in all of its evil forms and evil shapes out of this world, then we should all begin to enjoy peace and harmony and tranquility, and indeed global beauty as generated by global sanity.

The Revealed LIES in the Holy Bible

2 plus 2 equals 4 is a revealed truth in the Multiplication Table. Indeed,the Multiplication Table is the perfect model of truth. It is free from dogma, hogma, and pigma. No nation has ever gone to war against another nation for not believing that 2 plus 2 equals for. I asked it before, I ask it again: - how come the theologians of this world have utterly failed to reveal the "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, the same can never be said of the Bible. The multiplication table 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 "holy men" while any child can interpret, fully understand, and master the multiplication table? Indeed, Isaac Asimov settled the complicated mess with a simple truth: "Properly read the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived." 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...

Jane Austen . . . The unexamined life is not worth living for man. Socrates . . . The greatest of pleasure of the joy of creative thought... Happiness differs from pleasure in the sense that pleasure comes from what is outside the self... Happiness comes from what is inside the self... Thus, I have little desire to know where pleasure comes from. I am already mentally preoccupied enjoying happiness as I endlessly continue to happily examine my own life and those of others!

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 . . . It is now obvious that it is by acquiring more and more things that have prevented millions of Americans from living sanely, freely, meaningfully, and nobly. Poch Suzara

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... We give more sophisticated titles. We call them bishop, congressman, senator, mayor, justices of the supreme court, Chairman of the Board, bankers, doctor, commissioner, "darling," "sweetheart." ... 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? So how come millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR for believing that God is GOOD? . . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Happy People Helping Unhappy People

In a destructive typhoon, like the recent monster "Yolanda typhoon" in the Philippines - a great many happy people living in happy foreign countries gave so much needed help for those millions of unhappy Filipinos who survived the death and destruction around them. I ask: how come happy souls in heaven never give a hoot to unhappy souls on earth; especially as happy souls in heaven already have the endless resources from a happy God to inspire happy souls to help unhappy souls on earth, especially the unhappy Catholic souls in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century? 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.

Churches, Cathedrals, Schools, Colleges, and Universities in the Philippines

It is sad, indeed, centuries ago, we Filipinos enjoyed a system of "indoctrination" under the existence of churches and cathedrals - the monuments to fear and ignorance in the Philippines. In this already 21st century, however, we Filipinos now enjoy even more a system of "education" under the existence of schools, colleges, and universities - own and managed by the same owners of churches and cathedrals that have been crumbling as such monuments are getting more and more obsolete with each passing year! In the meantime, the one and only thing precious with millions upon millions of us Filipinos popular as the Sick Man of Asia is neither indoctrination nor education. It is to be with Jesus in heaven after death rewarded with eternal salvation. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Christianity is but a Grand Illusion

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. . . C. S. Lewis . . . Oh my dear C. S. Lewis, you poor blind sap. The sun rising is but an illusion. The sun setting is yet another illusion. It is the earth that rotates on its own axis daily and orbits round the sun yearly. The MAJORITY see the sun rising in the morning and setting in the evening as something TRUE and yet, it is exactly like seeing Christianity as it really is - nothing but a grand illusion. . . In the meantime, "Belief," wrote Robert Anton Wilson, "is the death of Intelligence. As soon as one believes as a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence." With Filipinos in the Philippines, however, specially millions of college educated Filipinos, belief is not the death of intelligence; it is more referred to as having faith in God; specially faith in the Son of God Jesus - our Savior as a sick people; and, indeed, our Redeemer as a sick nation! . ..

The 7 Deadly Sins

The 7 Deadly Sins of the Bible Pride is an excessive belief in one's own abilities. Envy is wanting what others have, be it status, abilities, or possessions. Gluttony is the desire to eat or consume more than you require. Lust is a powerful craving for such as sex, power and money. Anger is the loss of rational self-control and the desire to harm others. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain. Sloth is laziness and the avoidance of work. To me, in my simplicity, there should an 8th sin- the deadliest of sins: to be a sick man of faith - specially the one who is a drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination!

Christianity - the Most Destructive of Evil Forces

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#

Faith Against Thought

Isn't it enough to see a garden that is beautiful without having to believe that there are silly gardeners of God at the bottom of it keeping it that way? . . . Well, isn't enough to appreciate the beauty of thought without having to believe that it is inspired by the existence of the silly devil? . . . Indeed, the thought that provokes thought is much more precious than the thought that is merely the silly reflection of stupid faith. . . After all, a man of faith is like a drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support; not illumination. . . In the meantime, the bible says: "without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. . . Hebrews 11:6. . . Excuse me, but in La Salle grade school, we were taught to believe that God exists here, exists there, and exists everywhere. Why then should I seek God who is already existing above me, below me, in front of me, and in the back of me, indeed, already existing around me?

So There is No God, So What?

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! Well, for my part, I do not know why. All I know that if such a God exists, I do not care to love, respect, admire, and worship such a selfish, greedy, cruel, stupid, and an insane God. I do not even care to fear such a silly monster! No way. Over my dead body! 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. . .

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.

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers." . . . Denis Diderot . . . In the Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia, the Catholic priesthood industry has arrested, incarcerated, and publicly executed Jose Rizal - the greatest of Filipinos as a thinker; but also continue to render inutile the minds and hearts of millions upon millions of Filipino children in schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic priesthood industry in the Philippines. . . Thus, even in this already 21s century, we Filipinos are still taught how to love Jesus up there by hating one another in our own country down here. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Filipinos as the Victims of Christianity

How come we Filipinos, in this already 21st century, are still spiritually impoverished as the Sick Man of Asia? . . . Well, For one thing, we Filipinos will never do anything worthwhile for our country. We do not love our country. Whatever it is that move our minds and hearts as Filipinos will only have to do with anything to please a silly divinity up there; or, anything to do with ourselves not as the intelligent leaders, but only as the frightened followers of Christianity down here. . . In the meantime: The hundreds of thousands of poor Filipinos victimized by the most destructive typhoon "Yolanda" - Winds of up to 235mph and gusts of 170mph left a trail of destruction - triggering major landslides, knocking out power and communications and causing catastrophic widespread damage. Hundreds of homes have been flattened and scores of streets flooded; more than 10,000 deaths - was a child's play compared to the millions upon millions of Filipinos who are still victimized by the wealth, power, and glory of Christianity in this only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century.

The Greatest of Happiness in Life

God allows sorrows and tears today to open our hearts to the joys of tomorrow. . . Philippine Star Nov. 14, 2013 . . . Oh God, my dear God, whatever happened to the greatest of happiness in life - the power of thought to provoke deeper thoughts that should transform this world into a better world for the here and now with no sorrows and tears? . . .

Education Versus Indoctrination

"We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought. . . Indeed, we are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education. - Bertrand Russell . . . For my part, I was expelled out of high school because even since grade school, I wanted to be an intelligent thinker. I did not care to learn how to be a stupid believer. . .Indeed, to save not my silly soul, but to save instead my precious mind and heart. . . Poch Suzara

Liberty versus Lies and Deceptions

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” ― George Orwell

As for me, in my simplicity, liberty means the right to enjoy not the freedom OF religion, but the freedom FROM religion. Poch Suzara

I Have Yet To Hear About it From God

If God does not approve of the way I live, think, read, and write; indeed, the way I have been educating myself out of school, - how come I never hear about it from God? I only hear about it from the religious jerks, if not from frightened college educated saps?. . . In the meantime, If any of you religious morons want me to believe in God, introduce God to me. In this way, I'd be happy to have a long thought-provoking chat with Him. . . I'd be most anxious to tell God that he has been a LOUSY FUCKING God to all of us Filipinos in the Philippines!

What Philippine Government?

Philippine Government 'Paralyzed' by Typhoon Aftermath. . . CNN News . . . BBC . . . What Philippine government? There is no government of the people, by the people, and for the people in the Philippines! There is only the government of the sick officials, by the sick officials, and for the sick officials! . . . It is very easy to figure out the truth behind this historical horror. Even our government officials, from the lowest to the highest level all believe and have faith that - come what may, GOD WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE FOR THE PHILIPPINES; IF THAT WERE NOT YET FORTH COMING, HIS SON JESUS WILL SOON BE RETURNING TO REMEDY THE ILLS OF OUR SICK COUNTRY. . .

Suffering for Christ's Sake

It is better to suffer for the cause of Christ than for the cause of Christ to suffer... Philippine Star, Nov. 13, 2013 . . . When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity... When millions of people suffer from a delusion, in the Philippines it is called Christianity." . . . In the meantime, let's take a closer look at the essence of Christianity: it is told to us in the Garden of Eden bible story. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The lesson is, all the suffering that Adam and Eve had to endure was because they wanted to discover more about the nature of that tree of knowledge. . . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Google# Facebook#

Is Sin Forgivable or Is It Not?

Is There an Unforgivable Sin? Mark 3:28-29: I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them... But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin. There is an unforgivable sin. . . 1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Jesus forgives our sins. No exceptions mentioned. . . Colossians 2:13: When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins. "All" of our sins are forgiven. . . James 5:16: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. . . Romans 3:10: There is none righteous, no, not one. . . For my part, I asked it before, I ask it again: Oh my dear inspired authors of God, how reliable was it for any of you to reveal the REVEALED TRUTH in the Holy Bible? . . .Poch Suzara

Lively Analysis versus Deadly Paralysis

The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one. . . Malcolm Forbes . . . The purpose of indoctrination, however, is to open the mind to learn how to be stupid as believers, and not to learn how to be intelligent as thinkers. . . In our schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century - there is no such thing as education under lively analysis. . . There is only, for the most part, indoctrination under deadly paralysis. . . College-educated writers on these pages are the best examples of what it means to think not under lively analysis; but indeed only to believe, like frightened jerks, under deadly paralysis! . . .

Which or What God

If there were no God, there would be no atheists. --G.K. Chesterton . . . Oh my dear G. K. Chesterton, I am an atheist only because my own teachers in school, friends, associates, and relatives never knew what or which GOD everybody is always talking about; specially as God is suppose to be existing here, there, and existing everywhere? . . . Moreover Sir, you are such a sanctimonious hypocrite, if not a frightened religious sap. . . If there were no atheists, who else will have the intellectual courage to tell the whole world that religion is nothing but historical garbage at best; biblical trash at worst. Poch Suzara

Wow God, What are you a God for?

Safety is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God. . . Philippine Star, Nov. 11, 2013 . . . Wow, What a lot of dogma, pigma, hogma, and sick medulla oblongata. The only Begotten Son of God Jesus, crucified on a cross, cried out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?" This was during the 1st century! . . . Today, in the 21st century, I ask: where was God's presence in the recent monster typhoon "Yolanda" that destroyed properties and assets and killed thousands of poor Filipinos not because of their free will to be free from danger, but because God had other divine plans for the Philippines - the only Catholic, God-fearing country in Asia since the 16th century? . . .

God's Divne Plan

Janet Lim Napoles

I have the greatest admiration for Janet Lim Napoles. With no college education, no high school education, and due to poverty, with just a year or two in grade school - she somehow managed to rescue herself and her family and parents, brothers and sisters, and other friends and relatives out of poverty. With much guts and criminal maneuvering she was able to convince college-educated Congressmen and college-educated Senators to connive with her in stealing BILLIONS OF PESOS - the people's money that's suppose to belong to the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. As a high school expelled student, I envy the success of no-read-no-write Janet Lim Napoles. . . I am still trying to successfully convince college-educated men and women in the government including my friends, associates, and relatives that it is preoccupation with possession more than anything else that prevents us from living freely, nobly, and greatly. They just laugh at me. Just like my teachers in school. They all got peeved with me when I tried to tell them that my "questions" are far more precious than their "answers" because, in time, their answers will become obsolete. . . . Poch Suzara!

Wasted Centuries

Waiting for God is never a waste of time . . . Philippine Star Nov. 9, 2013 . . . In the Philippines, however, waiting for God is a waste of centuries. . . Indeed, ever since the 16th century, millions upon millions of us Filipinos have never ceased to pray to God for our healthy growth as a people, and for our wealthy development as a nation. Thus far, however, we are still spiritually sick as a people, and still sick economically and sick and backward morally as a nation - we are only told to just keep on praying! - - - And like frightened damned fools - in this already 21st century, we are still busy, faithful, and sick with our sick prayers! . . .

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

The Priesthood Industry - the Killers of Philosophers

"The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers." --- Denis Diderot . . . In the Philippines, however, the priests have killed only one great Philosopher - Jose Rizal. . .

The Horrors of opinions, Ancient Knowledge, and Faith

The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge. . . Elbert Hubbard. . . In the Philippines, as college-educated Filipinos, we are not only satisfied with our opinions, not only contented with our knowledge, but we are also most proud of our faith in the Jewish Son of God Jesus born of a Virgin Mary impregnated by a holy Spirit in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago. . .

The Absurdity of Payer

George Bush says he speaks to God every day, and Christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to God through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd. . . Sam Harris . . . When you are talking to God, you are praying . . . When God is talking to you, you are hallucinating. . .

What or Who is God

"The atheist does not say 'there is no God,' but he says 'I know not what you mean by God; I am without idea of God'; the word 'God' is to me a sound conveying no clear or distinct affirmation. ... The Bible God I deny; the Christian God I disbelieve in; but I am not rash enough to say there is no God as long as you tell me you are unprepared to define God to me." -- Charles Bradlaugh . . . Oh my dear Charles Bradlaugh, in the Philippines, GOD means Jesus, the Jewish Son of a Virgin Mary impregnated by the Holy Spirit more than 2,000 years ago. As to who or what the Holy Spirit is, nobody knows, not even the millions of college educated men and women know what "holy" means. 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. . .

The Wisdom of God for the Philippines

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! . . .
