Separation of State and Church in the Philippines

There is no such thing as the "separation of State and Church" in the Philippines. After all, it has never been possible to separate stupidity away from insanity - both horrors are one and the same deviltry always in cahoots with divinity - especially for the sake of Christianity to exist daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - perpetually!

I AM SORRY IF...

"I'm sorry if my atheism offends you. But guess what - your religious wars, jihads, crusades, inquisitions, censoring of free speech, brainwashing of children, murdering of albinos, forcing girls into underage marriages, female genital mutilation, stoning, pederasty, homophobia, and rejection of science and reason offends me. So, I guess we're even." - Mike Treder For my part, I too am sorry if my being a high school expelled student offends you. But guess what, I am even more offended by what the millions upon millions of college educated Filipinos have kept us Filipinos spiritually twisted as a poor people and morally distorted as a poor nation especially for the glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven.

THE JOB OF A HIGH SCHOOL EXPELLED STUDENT IN THE PHILIPPINES

Dear Poch, First, you should be reminded that you have already blamed Christianity countless times before for everything that's wrong in the Philippines... You have repeated your previous positions in blaming Christianity, Christian education and Christian politicians... What have you done except indulging in incessantblame game?... What constructive and viable ways have you thought of doing to uplift the miserable condition. We need some positive actions on your part rather than just blaming Christianity... Are you frustrated that nobody, not even one politician, believes in your repetitions of old boring demonizing of Christianity. You seem to enjoy repetitive bombastic accusations against Christianity... What positive contribution have you provided to the Filipino society for its reduction of poverty? To stop being a Christian does not cut it... So, Mr. Suzara come up with real and viable solutions to reduce poverty among our kababayans. Please no more repetitions of your boring attacks on Christianity. Regards, Martin Celemin My Dear Nartin Celemin, ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES, college educated Filipinos would ask a Poch Suzara, a high school expelled student, to solve the problems of poverty of the Filipinos as a people, and solve the troubles of moral bankruptcy of the Philippines as a nation. Cheers, Poch Suzara, Twitter# Facebook# Google#

OUR SICK WAY OF DAILY LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES

Our Society cannot be radically reformed except by a radical reform of our traditional values and sacred beliefs. Here, however, in the Philippines is the greatest of ideas conveyed daily by church, by the government, in schools, colleges, universities, in the media - newspapers, magazines, on radio, TV, and in the Filipino movies: how to keep us Filipinos sick and ignorant as a people; and, how to keep the Philippines corrupt and sick as a nation. These horrors are the results of religious ideals more referred to as our sacred values and holy beliefs; or, to speak more truthfully - how to live not creatively but only how to die destructively for the greater glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven.

Open Letter to Pope Francis, Jan. 9, 2015

An Open Letter to Pope Francis; Please Read It Before Coming to the Philippines Dear Pope Francis, your much anticipated visit to the Philippines is just a few days away. We expect that you will have been adequately briefed about the Philippines by the time you arrive. However, there might be a few things your Vatican handlers might have missed—or intentionally "forgot" to mention to you so we hope this letter reaches you in time for your historic visit. The first thing you'll notice is that the Philippines is teeming with people. And it is not just because they are out to see you, everyday Metro Manila and most major cities in the country strain under the weight of a population that has exploded to a hundred million people, and shows no signs of slowing down in any significant way; thanks in large part to your church's opposition to any form of contraception. If you get the chance, make it a point to deviate from your "well planned" agenda and visit a slum area—don't worry there are a lot of them in Metro Manila so you shouldn't have any problem finding one. Go into their humble dwellings. Take in all the squalor that these poor souls are forced to live in every day of their lives. When you return to the Vatican, go back and reassess the church's stand against contraceptives. Even if this is the only change you can bring about during your entire papacy, you will have helped the country immensely. Next, turn your attention to the Philippine clergy. Your bishops and cardinals act like aristocrats. Some priests travel to and thro in expensive vehicles and fly 1st-class on airlines. You have bishops, archbishops, and Cardinals who live in lavish palaces enclosed behind high walls. Based on your pronouncements, these go against the humility and simple lifestyle you espouse. While you are here, we ask that you institute meaningful and lasting changes that will truly bring the Philippine Catholic Church in line with your vision. In our previous article we noted the number of priests and bishops officiating in a decadently lavish wedding. You need to prohibit such lavishness inside your churches and forbid your clergy from any involvement in over-the-top, crass displays of wealth. Instead we suggest you focus your entire church in the Philippines back on the poor—God knows there are millions and millions of them here. Lastly, we hope you can confront some of the darker legacies of the Catholic Church in the country. As part of the colonizing power that ruled the Philippines for over 400 years, abuses too numerous to enumerate were committed by individual members of the clergy as well as by the church as an institution. Many Filipinas were raped or seduced by priests so that today, a lot of Filipino mestizos trace their ancestry back to a Spanish priest. And let us not forget that the Catholic Church was also actively involved in the suppression of the Filipino's longing for independence from Spain. Parish priests served as the "eyes and ears" of the colonial government, at times even violating the seal of confession by passing along to Spanish authorities information divulged during confessions. A few weeks ago, the country celebrated the 118th death anniversary of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. His death by firing squad in 1896, was in large part due to the efforts of the Catholic clergy. We feel the Church must apologize to the Filipino people for these wrongs. We know that as pope, you have acknowledged and apologized for other past wrongdoings of the church so there should be no reason why you cannot do the same for us (the Quirino Grandstand, where you are scheduled to say mass on the 18th of January, is just a stone's throw away from Rizal's monument). Not only will an apology bring you even closer to the Filipino people who already adore you dearly, it will also bring closure to wounds in our culture that have remained open for over a century.

Has Science Discovered God

World's Most Famous Atheist Accepts Existence of God The best-known atheist of the last 50 years, Professor Antony Flew, made the announcement in a symposium on science and religion, that the discoveries of modern science have led him to accept the existence of God. Flew was joined in the symposium by the organizer, Roy Varghese, Israeli scientist, Gerald Schroeder, and noted Scottish thinker John Haldane. The news was made public. Prof Antony Flew, the world's most famous philosopher of atheism, has become a believer who accepts that there is a supernatural or spiritual force active in this magnificent world of ours. The reaction in the world press was monumental. It ranged from "what a courageous person to be willing to change opinion in the light of the facts", to "he's been duped by Schroeder." Prof Flew said that the main driving force for his dramatic change in belief was the information he read in a book written by Roy Varghese, 'The Wonder of the World', and in Schroeder's 3rd book, 'The Hidden Face Of God'. There is now a one hour video DVD of the episode in which Prof Flew at the end states his change. It is by no means just few "talking heads". The graphics and voice-over are superb. Most of the visual is animated views of the wonders of existence. NOTE: This is a lot of religious hogwash because even if Atheist Anthony Flew now accept the existence of God, he has yet to declare openly and admit publicly that such a God that he now believes to exist is a Catholic God or a Muslim God or a Jewish God, or a what-not God, etc. In the meantime, - if the theologians down through the centuries have never found God, what makes you religious saps and jerks believe that the scientists have now found which or what GOD for the theologians to be proud of and happy with??

How to Become an Atheist

Question: How can I be an atheist? What does it take for a person to become an atheist? Is there a secret handshake or something? Response: So, do you want to be an atheist? Do you really want to be able to call yourself an atheist instead of a theist? If so, then this is the place to come: here you can learn the simple and easy procedure for becoming an atheist. If you read this advice, you'll learn what it takes to be an atheist and thus perhaps if you also have what it takes to be an atheist. Few people seem to understand what being an atheist is all about and thus what becoming an atheist entails. It isn't that hard, though. Here are the steps necessary to become an atheist: Step One: don't believe in any gods. That's it, there are no steps two, three, or four. All you have to do is not believe in the existence of any gods. None of the following steps are needed to become an atheist: •You don't have to deny the existence of any gods •You don't have to assert that no gods exist •You don't have to be certain that no gods exist •You don't have to join the Communist Party •You don't have to be rebelling against your family •You don't have to stop celebrating Christmas •You don't have to burn a picture of Jesus •You don't have to eat Christian babies in satanic rituals •You don't have to care about religion, theism, or gods There are lots of things which people imagine are part of being an atheist, but definitely aren't. Atheism is nothing more or less than the absence of belief in gods. There are only two options available for everyone: either a belief in the existence of some sort of god is present, or no such belief is present. That exhausts all the logical possibilities. This means that everyone is either a theist or an atheist. There is no "middle ground" where a belief in the existence of some god is a "little bit" there or a "little bit" absent. It's either there or its not. How you arrive at not believing in any gods may be difficult. For many people, religion and theism have played such central roles in their lives and families that abandoning these things may appear impossible. It may require a great deal of study, research, and contemplation. Many people don't have the time or inclination. Others may be afraid of what they could find if they start. What you do after you arrive at not believing in any gods may also be difficult. You don't have to do anything more to be an atheist, but this doesn't mean that there is nothing at all left to do. You will have to decide whether you inform others about this and, if so, how you present it. Many people may start treating you differently simply because you don't believe in their gods anymore. You may have to be concerned about whether knowledge of your atheism will lead to discrimination against you at work, for example. Being an atheist is easy — all that it requires is not believing in any gods. Existing as an atheist, though, isn’t always easy because so many people think so poorly of atheists. In more secular societies where lots of people are atheists, existing as an atheist will be easier because there is less pressure telling them that being an atheist is immoral, unpatriotic, or dangerous. In more religious societies, the increased pressure will make existing as an atheist very difficult for some... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google

JUST HOW SICK IS OUR SICK SYSTEM OF EDUCATION

Just how sick is our sick system of education? Schools, colleges, and universities especially own and operated (tax free) by the Catholic church in the Philippines have, for the most part, produced not thinkers; only believers. Produced not leaders; only followers. Produced not more teachers; frightened preachers. Produced not employers; only employees. Produced not mathematicians and logicians; only useless politicians and worthless theologians. Produced not discoverers, innovators, traders, and manufacturers; only laborers, workers, singers, and dancers. Produced not originators; only imitators. Produced not courageous writer, editors, readers, and researchers; only street cleaners, bus drivers, and conductors. Produced not truth-seekers, only liars, deceivers, cheaters, and religious swindlers. Produced frightened lawyers to hate humanity down here, only to love divinity up there. And sad most of all - produced millions of college-educated Filipinos to live and work in foreign countries; not to live, not to work, not to love, and not to develop our own country. For my part, as a Filipino born in the Philippines some 78 years ago, I may be a failure in life. Indeed, a total failure in how to be greedy, selfish, stupid, and insane. But if there is one thing that I am so proud to have successfully achieved during my younger years - I managed, somehow, to get myself expelled out of La Salle high school. It was, in this way, that I hit my strides by enrolling as a lifetime student as I am still today a student in the greatest of all universities - it is but a collection of books.

Today, millions of sick and poor and dying Filipinos are anxiously waiting for the return not of Jesus Himself, but the arrival of Pope Francis to remind everybody that Filipinos like yours truly can still go to heaven even if we do not in God. As if Pope Francis himself knows the exact location of heaven out there; or, by what mode of transportation do we use in order to travel to heaven after we are dead!. . .

Religion as the Greatest of Evils in this World

Religion promotes tribalism, anchors believers back to the Dark Ages, makes a virtue out of faith, diverts good intention for humanity to a silly divinity, teaches helplessness, generates political stupidity, encourages social insanity, makes you believe that there is a better world to come after death, and religion seeks power... In the Philippines, Christianity has kept the Filipino spiritually twisted as a people and morally distorted as a nation... We are the only country in Asia today that believe that the Lord Jesus, the Son of a Jewish God, will soon be returning as written in the bible some 2,000 years ago! Yes, Jesus promised to return to remedy the historical ills out of our sick society! Moreover, that Jesus will transform the Philippines into something of a paradise in Asia! More than a billion Filipinos who already lived and died in our God-forsaken country since Christianity arrived in the 16th century have faithfully believed and still do faithfully believe in this holy garbage more referred to as the truth revealed!

My Dear Senator Rene Saguisag

Poch: Without these schools, we probably would still be in the hills, lean-tos, etc. and hunting for heads for dinner.* There are Saladins and Mother Teresas to look up to. Bin Ladens and the Borgias to look down on. Religion may have led to bad things but it has also done many, many very very good things. Senator Rene Saguisag My dear Senator Rene Saguisag, Do you really believe that we Filipinos were a bunch of corrupt cannibals eating each other for dinner since we never had a Mother Theresa to look up to; or, that we only had a Bin Laden to imitate as our way life? Do you really believe that we were sick as Filipinos and we were all transformed into a healthy people when Christianity arrived to introduce to us the messages from the Holy Bible? Sir, how come countries in Asia that have never been conquered by Christianity are less corrupt, more advanced, and developed as governments today than our Philippine government? In fact, when we Filipinos are in those non-Christian countries - Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, etc, - we are there as employees as they are our employers? Our own public school teachers earn better wages doing household chores in Hongkong! Sir, I said it before, I say it again: EVIL WILL ALWAYS BE TRIUMPHANT IN THE PHILIPPINES BECAUSE EVEN OUR GOOD MEN, THE FEW OF THEM THAT WE HAVE, ARE GUILTY OF DOING NOTHING EXCEPT TO COMMIT AS WELL THE WORST OF CRIMES - THE CRIME OF SILENCE! - Cheers!

Churches and Hospitals in the Philippines

"A church is a hospital for sinners, not a club of saints." Philippine Star, Jan. 8, 2015 If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane. Robert Ingersoll And to think, since the 16th century up to today in this already 21st century, far more churches have been constructed for the siners in the Philippines than hospitals for the sick and the insane.

There is no Religion in Atheism

We are told that atheism is another religion. This is not true. A religion is based upon a system of beliefs. We atheists do not have belief system neither have we a need a system to support our nonbeliefs. In fact listen to George H. Smith who wrote a great book - THE CASE AGAINST GOD: "Atheism rises above creeds and puts humanity upon one plane. There can be no "chosen people" in the atheist philosophy. There are no bended knees in atheism; no supplication, no prayers, no sacrificial redemption; no divine revelation; no washing in blood of the lamb; no crusades, no massacres, no holy wars. No heaven, no hell, no purgatory; no silly rewards, no vindictive punishment; no Christ, and no saviors. No devil, no ghost, and no gods." And, if I may add, we atheists have no pastors,no preachers, no priests, no cardinals, no bishops, and no Popes. We have no dogma, hogma, and pigma. We have no schools, no colleges, and no universities to teach students how take advantage of the forgiveness of sin and the pardon of crime always available at any time from God via his priesthood industry. Thus, as atheists, we have no need to be sinners as a people; we have no need to be criminals as a nation. Especially for the glory of a sick God existing in a sick heaven.

Thanks to the Telescope and the Microscope

Thanks to the atheists who invented the telescope, and who also invented the microscope, both scientific instruments have proved with evidences that religion has turned out to be nothing but childish claims under the inspiration of a silly horoscope!

WHERE ARE THE HEALTHY SOULS IN THE PHILIPPINES

The bible contain the nutrient we need for a healthy soul." Philippine Star, Jan. 7, 2015 "Without science, a nation can neither be rich nor powerful. Bertrand Russell In the Philippines, however, we only have religion and politics - both under the guidance from the holy bible. The same holy bible that also teaches us to: "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." 1Jojn 2:15. Well, under holy bible guidance since the 16th century, is it surprising that millions of us poor Filipinos have only learned how to love divinity up there by not loving our country down here?

Pascal's Pathetic Wager

Pascal’s Wager is somewhat tragic. It has nothing to do with the power of logic. It has more to do with faith in magic. Pascal’s Wager has been proved not only empirically deficient, but also logically self-destructive. He may have been a mathematician; but he was not a logician. He was, however, apologetic as a theologian. If he were a Filipino, he would have been a great success as a corrupt politician. Here’s Pascal’s Wager: “Even if the Christian conception of God cannot be proved, the wise and prudent man will accept it for the following reasons: If it is true, and he believes it, he has gained heaven. If it is true, and he does not believe, he goes to hell. If it is not true, and he believes that it is, he has lost nothing. If it is not true, and he believes that it is not, he has gained nothing So there is everything to gain and nothing to lose by believing it true. FIRST OBJECTION TO PASCAL’S WAGER: This is one of the most interesting arguments of all and the most convincing, but at the same time the most fallacious. It is a classic statement of ethnocentrism. It starts out with the assumption that Christianity is the only possible choice, and ignores all other religions of the world. One possibility that Pascal overlooked was that the same argument can be used equally well by any other religion to prove its validity. What made Pascal so certain that God was a Christian? The Muslims think God is a Muslim; the Hindus think God is a Hindu; the Buddhists think God is a Buddhist, And surely it is just as possible that one of them is right as the Christians are right. So a Christian stands in just as much danger of going to a Muslim hell, as a Muslim stands of going to a Christian hell. Obviously, Pascal failed to consider this possibility simply because Christians were the only kinds of people he has known. Apparently he had never seriously discussed religion with a Muslim or a Hindu or a Buddhist, so he assumed that everyone of any consequence in the world was just like him. But to begin an argument with the assumption that everyone in the world is wrong but me, is obviously a shaky way to begin. In fact, Pascal was referring to the Catholic variety of Christianity. And there are many other denominations which all threaten eternal damnation for anyone who does not accept THEIR doctrine. SECOND OBJECTION TO PASCAL’S WAGER Pascal overlooked that God might be even meaner than he thought. A God that is cruel enough to create a hell in the first place, and one that would make a man so blinded as to be capable of stumbling into the lake of fire, and one that would create a Satan to lure him into it, certainly should have no qualms about burning anyone who accepted Christianity on so calculated and mercenary a basis. In fact, in Matt. 18:3, Mark 10:15, and Luke 18:17 Jesus repeatedly says that only those who accept him with the blind faith of children will be saved. THIRD OBJECTION TO PASCAL’S WAGER Still another possibility is that since man’s intelligence is the only thing that perceptively distinguishes him from other animals, God might very well punish a man for accepting anything on “faith” instead of intelligently analyzing it and weighing it against all other possibilities. Such as lively analysis instead of deadly paralysis! FOURTH OBJECTION TO PASCAL’S WAGER Pascal’s conclusion does not follow from his premises. In his great book - THE CASE AGAINST GOD, George H. Smith wrote: “Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation. It is not accidental that Christianity is profoundly anti-pleasure, especially in the area of sex. Pleasure is the fuel of life, and sexual pleasure is the most intense form of pleasure that man can experience. To deny oneself pleasure, or to convince oneself that pleasure is evil is to produce frustrations and anxiety and thereby become potential material for salvation.” Therefore, if this is the only life we have, and we sacrifice the few earthly pleasures we have, and trade our intellectual freedom for a mess of dogma, hogma, and pigma, - all for the sake of non-existent next world, instead of losing nothing, we have lost everything. In the meantime, here’s all that is necessary for religion to triumph: Have enough good men, who are good for nothing, pray daily to God to help other men help themselves to be good for nothing too.

The Infinity, Stupidity, and Divinity

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe"... Albert Einstein. For my part, I say, why should we bother to believe that it is important for the finite mind of man to understand the infinite mind of God? Isn't it far more important to prove first not that God is infinite, but that such a God, in fact, do exists! So God is this! God is that! So what? The plain truth is that such a God is never, but never OMNIPRESENT, only always OMNIABSENT. For my part, I'd like to see us dealing direct with God or God is dealing direct with us without the stupidity of a 3rd party involved as a necessary mystery! . . .

The Silly Believers

It is clearly written in the bible: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth; for he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened." Matt. 7:7-8. . . Sadly, the offer works better for the intelligent unbelievers than it does for the silly believers. The intelligent unbelievers know what to ask. They know what to seek. They know what to find. The silly believers do not even know what "knowing" means. Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Freedom of the Press

The freedom of the press in the Philippines is not for its readers; but only for those in the Philistines who are more at home with mediocrity as owners of the press. These college-educated saps and jerks love not the freedom of information, especially new and fresh information; but love only the freedom to spread old and obsolete misinformation. Especially for the greater glory of Jesus as the Savior of the Filipinos in the Philippines. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Top Ten Failed Arguments for God's Existence

There are many failed arguments for God's existence but there is one which is fundamental to them all. This is the Argument from Fear and Ignorance. Take virtually any aspect of our natural world that we don't fully understand and you'll find someone claiming that at the end of the dark tunnel there is light as God: 1.Shifting the Burden of Proof - I know God exists. If you disagree, prove otherwise. Oh you say you can't prove God doesn't exist? That's because you know he does! Well, we claim to "know" this or that we "know" that but we do not even know what "knowing" means. 2.Argument from Popularity - The vast majority of the world believes in God. This supports the universal truth that God is real, otherwise it makes no sense that so many people would believe. The same vast majority of the world also believe that the sun rises each morning and sets each evening which is not true as it but a grand illusion. 3.The Transcendental Argument - God is, by definition, a being greater than which nothing can be conceived (imagined). Existence in reality is better than existence in one's imagination. God must exist in reality; if God did not, then God would not be that than which nothing greater can be conceived (imagined). In the meantime, each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of the new reality that will replace it. 4.Argument from Coercion - You must believe in God/Jesus. It's your only hope for salvation. We are all doomed if we don't accept Jesus as our personal savior. It says so in the Bible. If you want to live forever and avoid suffering, you must accept God. It also says in the same bible that: "The living know that they shall die; the dead know not anything, neither have any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." Eccl. 9:5 5.First Cause Argument - Everything that exists in our world is the result of some sort of "first cause" which brought about its existence. Therefore, there must have been a force which created the universe. That "first cause" is what we call God. Also known as Cosmological Argument. But if God can exist without a creator, why can't the world too exist without a creator? In the meantime, if God created created everything, including space and time, where was God located before he created space, and when was it before He created time? 6.Argument from Authority - God is real because the Bible (or whatever sacred text you believe in) says so. Why would so many people write so much about God if it wasn't true? If God were already all-knowing, and already existing here, there, and everywhere, why would God need to inspire authors to write about him in the bible? 7.Argument from Personal Experience - I know god exists because I can feel him. I know it in my heart; he talks to me; I feel his strength and existence flow through every fiber of my being. How do you know that it is not a sick devil who is at the bottom of your sick experience? 8.Argument from Improbability - The second law of thermodynamics says matter inevitably becomes entropic (spreads out in chaos) and this defies the observation on Earth where we see, things becoming more organized. Therefore God is responsible. Well, how come the Philippines as the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century still have not learned how to be organized as a people and how to be organized as a nation? 9.Pascal's Wager - It is a "safe bet" to believe in God just in case he is real. What's the harm? If you believe and he doesn't exist, you don't lose anything, but if you don't believe and he does exist, you lose big time.

Theists point to the human body; the precise way each of our organs work with each other and claim it's the most amazing "creation" of all, and surely there was some sort of creator behind it.

The Second Coming of Jesus

New York Times NY, New York Jan. 4, 2015 Dear Editors, Second Coming of Jesus Jesus promised His disciples He would come again. It's in the Bible, John 14:1-3: "Let not your heart be troubled. You are trusting God, now trust in Me. There are many homes up there where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with Me where I am. If this weren't so, I would tell you plainly. And you know where I am going and how to get there." The return of Jesus will be literal and real. It's in the Bible, Acts 1:10-11: "It was not long afterwards that He rose into the sky and disappeared into a cloud, leaving them staring after Him. As they were straining their eyes for another glimpse, suddenly two white-robed men were standing there among them, and said, 'Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky? Jesus has gone away to heaven, and some day, just as He went, He will return!'" How will Jesus come again? It's in the Bible, Luke 21:27: "At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." How many will see Him when He comes? It's in the Bible, Revelation 1:7: "Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him." What will we see and hear when He comes? It's in the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." How visible is His coming to be? It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:27: "For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." Christ's coming will be unexpected and dramatic. It's in the BIble, 2 Peter 3:10: " But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up." What warning has Jesus given so we won't be fooled about the second coming? It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:23-26: "At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is Jesus!' or 'There He is!' do not believe it. For false Jesus and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. So if anyone tells you, 'There He is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here He is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it." Does anyone know the exact time of Jesus coming? It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:36: "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Knowing how human it is to procrastinate, what does Jesus tell us to do? It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:42: "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming." What warning has Jesus given that we might not be taken by surprise by this great event? It's in the Bible, Luke 21:34-36: " But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthyto escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man." Why is Jesus second coming taking so long? It's in the Bible, II Peter 3:8-9: "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." While we wait for Jesus, how should we live? It's in the Bible, Titus 2:11-14: " For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." What will the world be like when Jesus comes? It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:37-39: "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." Will the Jesus coming be a time of reward? It's in the Bible, Matthew 16:27 and Revelation 22:12: "For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will reward each person according to what he has done." "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done." Why is Jesus coming back? It's in the Bible, Hebrews 9:28: "So also Christ died only once as an offering for the sins of many people; and He will come again, but not to deal again with our sins. This time He will come bringing salvation to all those who are eagerly and patiently waiting for Him." With Jesus and His second coming, we will fully experience the reality of our salvation. It's in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 1:7-8: "Now you have every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing His will are yours during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. And He guarantees right up to the end that you will be counted free from all sin and guilt on that day when He returns." What is the last promise Jesus gives us in the Bible? It's in the Bible, Revelation 22:20: "He who testifies to these things says, 'Surely I am coming quickly.' Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus" For us Filipino heretics, freethinkers, and unbelievers of the faith - this is all great and wonderful. What, however, is sad, painful, and regrettable is to see tens of millions of Filipino Catholics all thrilled and excited anticipating not the coming of Jesus from heaven, but the arrival of Pope Francis, the Vicar of Jesus, ( Jan. 15-19, 2015 ) in the Philippines - the poorest and most backward and the only Catholic country in Asia today!!

God So Loved the World

It is clearly written in the bible that: "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." However, in the same bible, it is also clearly written that the beloved Son of God Jesus, crucified on the cross, cried out loud: 'MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" Matt. 27:46. Well, listen also to the same Jesus, uttering nonsense in the bible: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened." Matt. 7:7-8... But according to Luke 13:24, Jesus said the exact opposite: "Strive to enter in at the straight gate; for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."

The Truth Shall Make You Free

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32. . . On the contrary, as a matter of truth, only those who enjoy the freedom of thought will know something of the truth. Never, however, will know the whole truth. The whole truth has yet to be discovered. In the meantime, the good life can only be lived not in a sick society, only in a healthy society. . . Thanks however to the millions of Filipinos with college education as products of Catholic universities we Filipinos are proud to live in a sick society as we are famous as the Sick man of Asia down here; specially for the greater glory of Jesus up there...

God's Divine Plan and Man's Free Will

God has a divine plan and everything that happens or does not happen is according to his will. "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7). "Whatever the LORD desires he does in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths" (Psalms 135:6). "Indeed, she (Wisdom) spans the world from end to end mightily, and governs all things well." (Wisdom 8:1). St. Thomas Aquinas says that God's will is the cause of things (Summa Theologica)... In other words, even if it is a kind of weird animal, free will is a myth, a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony. Free will does not exist. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

China Today Compared to the USA and Philippines still Under Religious Insanity

I have the greatest respect and admiration for the Chinese people in China... It is not only because the Chinese people have been and still are atheistic as a people since the 11th century; but also because in this 21st century China has been the only country in this world that was able to recreate peacefully two great evils together into one great world reality... They have, quite successfully, after much thinking, and with much courage, and indeed, with great leadership managed to merge the evils of Communism and the evils of capitalism working together for them making China the richest, the most economically powerful, and the greatest nation in the world today... What America has accomplished as a nation in 200 years, China accomplished much more as a nation in less than 50 years! In the meantime, in the Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century, millions of college-educated Filipinos in this already 21st century are still hoping, dreaming, and praying for a SAVIOR to return and to save us as a people, and to provide for us as a nation!

We Atheists Do Not Control People

THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL PEOPLE IS TO LIE TO THEM. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them...

Breeding and Populating for More Fun in the Philippines

In our sick society, as products of a sick system of education, we Filipinos are never into more studying, more reading, more learning, more discovering, more doubting, more questioning, more improving, more understanding; indeed, we are never into more and deeper thinking. Only more hoping via more praying. In fact, in our sick country, the whole idea of success in life after our so-called college education is to make money. In this way, we can have more fun with money as it more fun in the Philippines; especially breeding and populating for our country with more babies. It explains why we Filipinos are so proud and successful in producing 3 babies every single minute of the day, or 180 babies every hour; or 4,320 babies every day; or 129,600 every month; or 1.5 million babies yearly; especially for the sake of promoting Christianity in our country down here as blessed historically by a silly divinity up there. But then again, we produce babies in the streets! Why not! After all, most our streets are no longer streets. They have already transformed into"baby factories." In the meantime, it is a spectacular sight to see: the existence of many pregnant teen-agers and many pregnant mothers carrying, breast-feeding babies or walking with a hungry child in the streets of our major cities. Most of them looking for food. What, however, is even more spectacular is seeing pregnant dogs, pregnant cats, and pregnant rats in the same streets of our major cities also searching for food. Indeed, breeding and populating is more fun in the Philippines. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Noise as a Torture To All Intellectual People

I have long held the opinion that the amount of noise that anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse proportion to his mental capacity and may therefore be regarded as a pretty fair measure of it... Noise is a torture to all intellectual people... The superabundant display of vitality which takes the form of knocking, hammering, and tumbling things about, has proved a daily torment to me all my daily life... Arthur Schopenhauer. We poor Filipinos love noise; specially noise to celebrate New year's eve celebration. We waste billions of pesos exploding firecrackers around us to make lots of meaningless noises. Indeed, we are not intelligent as a people. We have no mental capacity to feel disturbed or tortured by exploding noises... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Death of an Atheist

Oh yes, I am getting old, sick, and dying. My days on this earth are getting shorter. Soon I will be dead, cremated, and gone. Forever. Before I leave this world, however, whatever time I have that's left for me, I should only wish to carry on and on the promise I made to myself. To keep on doing what I have been doing daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly what I started to do when I reached the age of reason - play a role, no matter how small, in bringing the evils of Christianity out of our sick country.

God is not a Necessary Part in the Existence of the Universe

Parsimony ( Occam's Razor ) suggests that we should not add features to a theory about the world that increases complexity without strong evidence. That is -- the simpler the model, the better. 'God' is an unnecessary add-on to our working hypothesis about the universe -- and one that is not supported by hard evidence. This is the Atheist's perspective. Indeed, it is needless, if not useless, in fact, it is mindless to do with more what can be done with fewer! The Existence of the universe is complicated enough. Why make it more complicated by insisting that God created the universe? Who is God? Where in hell did God come from? Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

Nobody Wants to Die

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die to get there. As a matter of fact, nobody wants to die because to begin with, nobody knows where heaven is located; or, by what means of transportation do we embark on in order to get to heaven! In the meantime, since not wanting to die is also a sin against God, we shall surely end down in hell. Well, as an atheist, since I do not care to go to heaven, I am told that I will end down deeper in hell for having accomplished a bigger sin against God for not wanting to go to heaven. But then again, where is HELL located? How come the existence of HELL is not even mentioned in the Bible? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Mess Behind God's Creation of the Earth

If this were so why bother to create the mess on earth when He could have simply created things to exist happily with Him already existing in heaven? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Prison Reforms? What About Education Reforms?

Prisons have very serious health implications. In our country, Filipino prisoners are likely to have existing health problems on entry to prison, as they are predominantly from poorly educated and socio-economically deprived sectors of the general population, with minimal access to adequate health services. Their health conditions deteriorate in prisons which are overcrowded, where nutrition is poor, sanitation inadequate and access to fresh air and exercise often unavailable. Psychiatric disorders, HIV infection, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, sexually transmitted diseases, skin diseases, malaria, malnutrition, diarrhoea and injuries including self-mutilation are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in prison. In our country, with a high prevalence of TB in the outside community, prevalence of TB can be up to 100 times higher inside the prisons. In most countries HIV infection in prisons is significantly higher than within the population outside prison, especially where drug addiction and risk behaviours are prevalent. Prison staff are also vulnerable to most of the diseases of which prisoners are at risk. Prison reforms? What about education reforms in our poor and backward country? Indeed, schools, colleges, and universities are places where most of our sinners and criminals are the sick products of. Specially college-educated sick sinners and sick criminals who end up occupying high positions in the judicial, executive, and legislative branches of our sick government! As an atheist, I said it before, I say it again: radical reforms in any society can only achieved via radical reforms of its worthless beliefs and mindless values. After all, it is nature's decree: on this earth, the aim of life as a people should be self-improvement via thinking; and the aim of life as a nation is self-development via more thinking. Nothing else matters. Nothing else counts! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Here's more of a question that is based upon stupidity: "what is responsible for the design in nature?" Rather, I should first ask: Does nature exhibit design?"... Indeed, to prove a supernatural "first cause" the believer must demonstrate, not assume, that the universe requires a causal explanation. To prove a supernatural designer, the believer must demonstrate, not assume, that the universe exhibits design. Failure to clarify this conflicting issues totally invalidates any supposed solutions derived from the assumed non-existing "problems." Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#.

My response to my doctors - "The day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. So what is there to fear about the reality of death?" ... For millions of years before I was born, I was existing peacefully as a nothing. I had no need to believe in a silly God. Well, after my death, I will again be existing peacefully as a nothing.

The Poor Filipinos Still Living in a Poor Philippines

“Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know — the Church does neither.” ― Robert G. Ingersoll . . . I said it before, I say it again: there is neither progress of Filipinos as a people, nor progress of the Philippines as a nation only because the catholic church owns not only the minds and hearts of the Filipinos as a people; and, also owns the Philippines as a nation.

Prayers to the Saints of God are Good; Unfortunately, according to Jesus, Good for Nothing

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. Ephesians 6:18 Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Romans 8:27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Matthew 6:7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, John 15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Revelation 22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Luke 20:46 “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Romans 1:7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Luke 23:42-43 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Isaiah 8:19 And when they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living?

Sick Messages from the Sick Bible

"Although Christians live in this world, their allegiance is to heaven.". . . Philippine Star, Dec. 3, 2014 Indeed, it is in this way, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos are known to be famous as the Sick Children of Asia. Via schools, colleges, and universities we Filipinos have never been taught how to love each other as citizens, nor have we been taught how to love our country - The Philippines down here. Only to love Jesus up there! Only to love Jesus - a Jewish fellow born in a foreign land more than 2,000 years ago. The same Jesus who was never able to convert his own Jewish people into becoming Christians or Catholics. They are today still Jewish as a people existing in a Jewish State today. Listen to the sick bible as written by sick authors of a sick God: "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." 1 John 2:15. More sick messages from the sick bible that our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents have been taught to believe; just like our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren will also be taught to believe. In the meantime, like damned fools, everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die to get there! Oh yes, thanks to our Christian values and sick beliefs - we are not only destroying ourselves, but we are also destroying the planet earth - the only home we have in the universe! And all for what? For the sake of the sick messages written in the bible by sick authors of God! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Jesus is Coming but When

"The fact of Jesus coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares." Philippine Star, Dec, 1, 2014 . . . What about those more than 100 BILLION people who already lived and died on this earth since Jesus, more than two thousand years ago, declared the following as written in the bible: Matt. 10:23 – When giving instructions to his disciples as to just how they are to go about spreading his message Jesus says, “for truly I say unto you, you shall not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of man comes.” Matt. 26:28 - Jesus says, “There are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” Matt. 24:33-34 - After prophesying a wide assortment of events including the second coming, Jesus said, “ . . . when you shall see all these things, know that it ( the 2nd coming ) is near, even at the door. This generation shall not pass till these things be fulfilled.” Jesus was obviously referring to the contemporary generation. Matt. 26:74 – When brought before Caiaphas, the chief priest, Jesus said to him, “ I will tell you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man . . . coming on the clouds of heaven.” According to this the second coming was to happen during Caiaphas’ lifetime. Mark 9:1 - And he said unto them, “verily, I say unto you, that there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. Luke 21: 27-28 – “And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:32 – “verily I say unto you, “This generation shall not pass way, till all be fulfilled.” 1 Thess 4: 15-17 – In his first epistle to the Thessalonians Paul assures the congregation that the second coming is very near,” . . . “we who are alive,” . . . shall not proceed those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven . . . and the dead Christ shall rise first . . . Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together. . .” Revelation 22:12 – Behold, I come quickly.” Revelation 22: 20 – “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Was Jesus truly a SAVIOR of the Filipinos in the Philippines; or, was He just a Jewish clown who could not even SAVED His own Jewish people from Judaism?

The Church, the Multitude, and Evil

"You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you testify in a dispute to follow after a crowd to pervert judgment." Exodus 23:2. . . The catholic church, however, via its schools, colleges, and universities, down through the centuries, have been producing not citizens, but the multitude for the Republic of the Philippines. Especially to love a divinity up there while we hate each other in our own country down here... For my part, I say, thou shall not follow your religion to do evil. Especially the kind of religion that says that we must love only Jesus in heaven; while we hate father and mother, hate brothers and sisters, hate wife and children; indeed, hate also our own life on this earth.

To Know Christ is to Hate Knowledge

"To know Christ is the greatest of all knowledge." Philippine Star, Nov. 28, 2014 Well, let's read the bible and let's learn more about Jesus and His knowledge of love, peace on earth, and goodwill to all men, women, and children not only as the Savior of the world, but also as the Son of a Loving of God: Matt. 8:21-22 “And another of His disciple said unto Him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury the dead. Matt. 10:34-35 “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword,” “For I am come to set a Man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother.” Matt. 19:29 “And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Mark 10:29-30 “There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s. But he shall receive a hundredfold now in time… with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.” Mark 13:12 “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.” Luke 12:51-53 :Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. For from henceforth there shall be five to one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother…” Luke 14:26 “ If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33 “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not that all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 19:27 “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” St John 12:25-26 “He that loveth his life shall lose it; he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal; . . . If any man serve me, him will my father honor.” Well, for my part, I ask: Is it any wonder why Jesus got crucified on the cross by his own brothers and sisters created in His own image and likeness. But then again, who was crucified on the cross? If it was God, why would God cry out” “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” If it was a man on the cross, what right had he to cry out: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Luke 22:34. Again, Jesus in the bible, prays to: “God, the Father.” Yet, Father and Son and the Holy Spirit are one and the same person according to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. In fact, Jesus admitted that “I and my father are one.” John 10:30. If Jesus could pray to Himself, wasn’t it rather silly that as a God Himself, he could not answer his own prayer? This was during the 1st century. Today in the 21st century, I am told that an ANTI-CHRIST movement is on the rise in Europe. But Christ was not born in Europe, he was born in Israel that today is not a Christian country like the Philippines. It is a Jewish State. How come the Anti-Christ movement in Israel, the land where Christ was born, has been quite a success? In the meantime, here is a more lovable god, my god - Bertrand Russell – who simply stated: “The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.” Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

New Zealand has a population of 4.4 million people... Instead of breeding babies, they breed sheeps... There are now more than 35 million sheeps existing in New Zealand...

There are now some 27,000 Filipinos residing and working in New Zealand. . . The Philippines has today a population of 100 million people. . . Indeed, instead of breeding more animals - cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, donkeys, horses, deer, and crocodiles for domestic consumption and for exportation, or just for the sake of a growing economy, we produce babies. . . We produce 3 babies every minute of the day and night, or, some 1.5 million babies yearly. . . After all, fucking is more fun than thinking. Meanwhile, every year, it is estimated that more than a million Filipinos leave to work abroad, or around 4,500 Filipinos every day... Today, there are some 20 million Filipinos residing and working in some 200 foreign countries around the world...

The Philippines - Still Sick as a Nation under Catholicism

Britain and Spain once dominated sheep production and trade. In the early twenty-first century, dominance has shifted to former British colonies of the Southern Hemisphere. Australia ranks first in wool exports. Second-ranked New Zealand is a big exporter of carpet wool, mainly from its Romney breed, a native of English lowlands. Both nations are also top exporters of lamb. At the end of the twentieth century, Australia had 115.8 million head of sheep, slightly behind the world's largest flock, 131 million head in China (where they are mainly for domestic use). New Zealand was third with 45 million sheep, followed by South Africa and Turkey. China is a leading importer of wool for its mills. . . Such industries are for the sake of the economy of such countries... with us Filipinos, however, instead of producing more cows, horses, ducks, turkeys, goats, pigs, chickens, sheeps, and cloning more shrimps, crabs, lobsters and crocodiles for export, we produce 1.5 million babies every year for the sake of the wealth, power, glory, and authority of the Catholic church in charge of a sick system of education keeping us poor as a people and backward as a nation.

Otherwise, how will God succeed in forgiving our crimes; and, how will the Son of God Jesus succeed in forgiving our sins? ... My dear reader, do you now see why the Catholic church had to get Jose Rizal arrested, incarcerated, and publicly executed? His writings were a threat to the existence of the wealth, power, glory, and authority of the catholic teachings in order to keep our country under catholic rule and domination for centuries yet to come. . .

I Celebrate Christmas With These Precious Thoughts

We are told that we are saved not by what we do but by trusting what Christ has done. To think that this is the same Christ who was born of a Jewish family in Jewish town under Jewish culture and tradition some 2,000 years ago. Israel today is not even a Christian country. It is a Jewish State populated by Jews, ruled by Jews, and inspired by Judaism – a major religion that does not celebrate Christmas – the Birth of Christ. . . In this already 21st century, if Christ cares not to save his native fellow-Jews in Israel, why should Christ bother to save the Filipinos or even save the Philippines?

In the meantime, the pleasures in growth and positive achievement, the love of life, happy, expansive, generous, and creative; glad when others happy, and not glad when others are not happy - are the precious things on my mind while I celebrate Christmas this year. Indeed, for this Christmas, I should wish to celebrate the birth of the Filipino capacity to think, especially to think in terms of growth as a decent people, and  development of the Philippines as a decent nation. I have no wish to celebrate the birth anniversary of Christ, but to celebrate instead the birth of the Filipino capacity to love the truth, beauty, knowledge, and the joys of this life in this world in the here and now. These will do for Christmas this year; however, for Christmas next year, I may wish to celebrate Christmas with deeper or higher reasons! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU.
