Silence - The greatest of Crimes

"To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.". . . Ella Wheeler Wilcox. . . For my part, I said it before, I say it again: The greatest of crimes is the crime of silence. Never be afraid to raise your voice against dishonesty, lies, and deception, and corruption; especially against silent crimes inside the sick system of education. And the silent crimes among the sick politicians inside our government. If more and more of us Filipinos all over the Philippines would do this, we could begin to grow with self-respect enjoying health as a decent people; and begin to develop with dignity enjoying wealth as a decent nation...

Science and Christianity

Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years... John Burroughs... Christianity, since the 16th century, has done more to keeping the Filipinos poor and sick as a people; and, to keeping the Philippines backward and corrupt as a nation. How? By keeping science, especially the scientific way of thinking historically out of schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines... In the meantime, let's take a closer look at our so-called "civilization.". . . There are of men and women today enrolled in the college of medicine to study how to become doctors to cure diseases, among them, to find the cure for cancer that continue to kill people all over the world day in and day out since centuries ago. However, there is not one college of medicine established anywhere in the world for men and women to learn how to cure a disease more deadly than cancer. The disease that's killing more people than cancer. It is known as "religion.". . . The disease has not stopped killing people specially in God's name... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

RELIGION AS A DISEASE IS MORE DEADLY THAN ILLEGAL DRUGS

Religion still Infested with so much Hate, not Love

Thanks to religion, this world, our world, is still infested with so much hate, not love; especially for the glory of God in heaven... Indeed, in this world, the more you suffer, the more you are told that God loves you more. Therefore hate, poverty, and suffering are good for the human soul since such horrors are the path toward to eternal salvation... For my part, I am an atheist; and, an atheist is a humanist who cares about this world. Our world. And if you religious morons believe that of me as a man full of hate and lies, that's your sick problem; not mine... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

My Son Bertie's Memory Work at the Age of 5

As a father to my son, I thought it is my responsibility to play a role in the education of my son in school. Here are some of the poems, songs, and great quotations that Bertie memorized as we walked together daily to his Kumon Math Sacred Heart school in Lorenzo Village and walking back home after school for lunch:--- Why is it that everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die?--- Life is a sexually-transmitted disease with a mortality rate of 100 per cent.--- Why bother to be born again, when you can just grow up?--- "If you tell a child that God made the world," he will usually ask: "then who made God?" If we reply, as the catechism states, "no one made God. He always was! Then why couldn't we just say about the world in the first place?"--- "They came with the bible, and their religion, stole our land, crushed our spirit, and now tell us we should be thankful to the Lord for being saved." Pontiac--- One bright day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and came to kill the two dead boys. --- When we are born we cry, that we are come to this great stage of fools.---Shakespeare To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. - Shakespeare --- The trouble with the rat race, even if you win, you are still a rat.--- I would like the Filipinos to be brilliant, enlightened, intelligent, ad progressive. - Jose Rizal--- SMILE Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile. (written by Charlie Chaplin)--- "What A Difference A Day Makes" What a difference a day makes Twenty-four little hours Brought the sun and the flowers Where there used to be rain My yesterday was blue, dear Today I'm a part of you, dear My lonely nights are through, dear Since you said you were mine What a difference a day makes There's a rainbow before me Skies above can't be stormy Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss It's heaven when you find romance on your menu What a difference a day made And the difference is you What a difference a day makes There's a rainbow before me Skies above can't be stormy Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss It's heaven when you find romance on your menu What a difference a day made And the difference is you --- I'll BE SEEING YOU I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through In the small cafe, the park across the way The children's carousel The chestnut trees, the wishing well And I'll be seeing you In every lovely, summer's day And everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you I will find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you.--- Bertrand Russell Introductory Remarks of his Autobiography Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy – ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness – that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what – at last – I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.--- ON THE USES OF PHILOSOPHY "There is a pleasure in philosophy and a lure even in the mirages of metaphysics, which every student feels until the coarse necessities of physical existence drag him from the heights of thought into the mart of economic strife and gain. Most of us have known some golden days in the June of life when philosophy was in fact what Plato calls it, "that dear delight;" when the love of a modestly elusive truth seemed more glorious – incomparably -- than the lust for the ways of the flesh and the dross of the world. And there is always some wistful remnant in us of that early wooing of wisdom. "Life has meaning," we feel with Browning. "To find its meaning is my meat and drink." So much of our lives is meaningless, a self-canceling vacillation and futility. We strive with the chaos about and within, but we should believe all the while that there is something vital and significant in us, could we but decipher our own souls. We want to understand. "Life means for us constantly to transform into light and flame all that we are or meet with!" We are like Mitya in The Brothers Karamazov -- "one of those who don't want millions, but an answer to their questions." We want to seize the value and perspective of passing things and so to pull ourselves up out of the maelstrom of daily circumstance. We want to know that the little things are little, and the things big, before it is too late. We want to see things now as they will seem forever -- "in the light of eternity." We want to learn to laugh in the face of the inevitable, to smile even at the looming of death. We want to be whole, to coordinate our energies by harmonizing our desires, for coordinated energy is the last word in ethics and politics -- and perhaps in logic and metaphysics, too. "To be a philosopher," said Thoreau, "is not merely to have subtle thoughts, or even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live, according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust." We may be sure that if we can but find wisdom, all things else will be added unto us. "Seek ye first the good things of the mind," Bacon admonishes us, "and the rest will either be supplied, or its loss will not be felt." Truth will not make us rich, but it will make us free.--- The Greatest Men Have Not been "Serene."--- "No, the greatest men have not been “serene.” They have had, it is true, an ultimate courage, a power of creating beauty where nature has put only horror, which may, to a petty mind, appear like serenity. But their courage has had to surpass that of common men, because they have seen deeper into the indifference of nature and the cruelty of man. To cover up these things with comfortable lies is the business of cowards; the business of great men is to see them with inflexible clarity, and yet to think and feel nobly. And in the degree in which we can all be great, this is the business of each one of us." Bertrand Russell--- READ, READ, and READ What we need in this country is not MORE faith, but more reason for the sake of spiritual growth. It means abandoning outworn beliefs and the welcoming of new and fresh ideas. We need to develop a deeper vision, to be willing to forsake our obsolete and shallow vision. The road to spiritual growth lies in distrusting what we already believe by deliberately challenging the validity of what we have been traditionally taught to hold dear and holy. We must learn to question everything. It is the basis of spiritual growth and intellectual maturity.--- We must therefore develop the habit of reading avidly and judiciously. I therefore say: read, read, and read. To begin to discover not only the beauty of rationality, but also the harmony of veracity. As we develop the habit of reading, especially books on the scientific way of thinking, we will never, ever again, be the foolish victims of mediocrity, or worse still – be the promoters of a sick society. However the case may be, those of us who refuse to read are no better off than those who can’t read at all. Poch Suzara

I stand on the Shoulders of Giants

It is with much pride and happiness for me to declare the debt I owe men and women of genius. Such as Bertrand Russell, Will Durant, Robert G. Ingersoll, George H. Smith, Tom Paine, Carl Sagan, M.H. Mencken, Clarence Darrow, Alvin Toffler, Howard Zinn, Joseph McCabe, Jean Meslier, Jonathan Swift, Mark Twain, Jose Rizal, and Ruth Benedict, Madalyn Murray O"hair - the Founder of the American Atheist Association... If I am able to see higher, wider, longer, and deeper it is simply due to, if not the result of, the great writings of these great men and women of genius... In the meantime, I am ask: if I have been in charge of creation, what would I have created differently?... Well, firstly, after having created man and woman I would encourage them to enjoy not the freedom OF religion, but the freedom FROM religion... Secondly, I would make diseases not catching; instead, I would make health contagious... Thirdly, I would make not stupid BELIEVERS, but intelligent THINKERS as the main result of education in schools, colleges, and universities... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Lowly-Paid Employees as Teachers and Professors in the Philippines

My teachers in La Salle grade school and high school were not real teachers. They were lowly-paid employees of the Christians Brothers - the filthy-rich owners of De la Salle college. Indeed, like most schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the catholic church... Education in our poor and backward country has nothing to do with acquiring knowledge and wisdom... It is mostly about learning how to be at home with faith in lies, deceptions, illusions, delusions, not to mention faith in human degradation; especially by ignoring the importance of the growth and development of civilization... I was so glad and happy that I got expelled out of La Salle high school. It was, in this way, that I managed, somehow, via self-education, to save not my sick soul; but to save instead my precious mind and heart to be useful in this world. Our world. . .

We Are A Nation of 5th graders

What is the current state of Philippine education? . . . “A nation of ‘fifth graders,’” the late Dr. Josefina R. Cortes, former dean of University of the East College of Education, said of our country that has long suffered from poor learning outcomes. . . Evidence of this is aplenty: Please see Philippine Daily Inquirer, Aug. 24, 2015. . . All these form part of the apoy sa ilalim and apoy sa ibabaw solutions that will help this country leapfrog from being a nation of fifth graders to a country of achievers and high-skilled professionals in the foreseeable future. . . . (Ricardo Ma. Duran Nolasco, PhD., is a faculty member of the Department of Linguistics of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.). . . For my part, as a high school expelled student of some 65 years ago, I said it before, I say it again: our sick system of education does not only reflect who are as a sick people, but also what we are as a sick nation. In this already 21st century, we are the only people in all of Asia who are still hoping, waiting, and praying for a Savior to save us from the horrors of our own sick values and sick beliefs; also to save us away from daily graft and corruption - while we are proud of our sick population explosion as inspired via our rejection of civilization!

Legalized slavery occurred in the United States 1619 to 1865 or some (250) years and was followed by another century of legalized racial discrimination...

Our Sick Prayers As Inspired by our Sick Theology

"In the Middle Ages, when pestilence appeared in a country, holy men advised the population to assemble in churches and pray for deliverance; the result was that the infection spread with extraordinary rapidity among the crowded masses of supplicants. This was an example of love without knowledge. The late war afforded an example of knowledge without love. In each case, the result was death on a large scale." - - - Bertrand Russell 

In the Philippines, in this already 21st century, instead of taking advantage of the beauty behind science, and the power behind technology that's been elevating other Asian nations into higher growth, better development, and general prosperity, - we Filipinos are still with our sick prayer under a sick theology inside churches and cathedrals.

The Difference Between Knowledge and Wisdom

Difference Between Wisdom and Knowledge . . . Wisdom vs Knowledge . . . research by: Poch Suzara Wisdom and knowledge are common words in English language. We equate knowledge with books and teachings, and at classrooms, teachers tell us a lot about knowledge. But wisdom is much more than knowledge as it is an abstract attribute that is not found in every man who is knowledgeable. Are you not convinced still? Continue reading, as this article attempts to highlight the differences between knowledge and wisdom. We are not born with all the facts and information that we assimilate into our brain as we grow up. We are taught many concepts at school, and our teachers make us understand things that expand our knowledge base. The knowledge that hydrogen and oxygen molecules add up to make water is knowledge. The fact that the water in our oceans and rivers is the same that comes back in the form of rainfall is again knowledge. We can be made to know everything about water, including its properties and features, but we never know it in its entirety unless we drink and know its taste. Knowledge All the facts and information about things, people, places and cultures of the world constitute a knowledge base that we build up as we learn a lot first from our parents and later at school from our teachers. We learn how to behave without elders and react in different situations as per societal norms. All this is referred to as the knowledge that we gain in our life. Wisdom Wisdom is the application of knowledge in real life situations to obtain desired results. Thus, the ability to apply knowledge in easy to tough situations refers to knowledge. Wisdom comes from experience. You may know how to open the lock of a car. This is certainly knowledge though one that is not desirable. However, wisdom says never to apply this knowledge or else you may have to serve in prison. Wisdom comes from wise, and so wise men have wisdom. But wisdom is a trait that does not come with knowledge alone. It comes with a mixture of knowledge and experience. What is the difference between Wisdom and Knowledge? • Wisdom is a quality or an attribute while knowledge is the state of knowing. • One gains knowledge by knowing facts and information while the ability to apply such knowledge for the benefit of all is wisdom. • Wisdom comes with age and experience it is said; this is the reason upper chamber of legislature consists of older men. • Knowing how to steal a car is knowledge but not applying this knowledge is wisdom. In the meantime, we atheists have no knowledge of God. We only have wisdom when it comes to God. We do not, we will not, and we will never believe in the existence of a God or Gods because we have the knowledge of nothing about God. We do not even know whether God is a HE, a SHE, or an IT! Or, if God created the universe some 14 Billion years ago, is such a God still alive today already 14 Billion years old?. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

2 PLUS 2 IS NOT ALWAYS 4

2 plus 2 = 4 is not true all the time because sometimes 2 plus 2 can be 3. Look at 2 persons plus 2 persons equals 4 persons. Well, what about 2 fathers plus 2 sons, how many persons? They can be only 3 persons - the grandfather, the father, and the son: the grandfather and the father are 2 fathers; the father and the son are 2 sons. And yet there are only 3 persons involved as seen through behind the power of mathematics reduced into the beauty behind logic! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Sick Traffic Mess in the Streets of our Major Cities

Recently, a high government officials declared: "Ours is a growing and a developing nation." I ask: with college-educated law-makers together with college-educated law-enforcers -`how come they are not able to fix the traffic mess in the streets of our major cities caused by millions of cars, buses, jeeps, trucks, motorcycles, tricycles, and bicycles, indeed, vehicles not made in the Philippines but all imported from foreign countries - how could we ever be a growing as a people and a developing as a nation? Indeed, we do not even have the capacity to manufacture our own vehicles, but we do do not even how to keep the streets of our major cities clean and orderly under health and sanitation!

The Evil More Known as the Sick System of Education in the Philippines

One man believes in Christianity... Another believes in Islam... The horror distinguishing them. When, however, both believe the Multiplication Table, provided they believe correctly, there is no difference between them...Thus, the sick and the irrational separate us. The sane and the rational unite us... Now take a good look at schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines as own and operated by the Catholic church. They teach not what should unite us as a people; but teach only what keeps us divided as a nation... In this way, we Filipinos continue to be not the well-informed as educated citizens of our country; but only to be the servants, employees, and the victims of the powers-that-be - the corrupt and the few filthy rich - the real owners of the Philippines! Millions upon millions Filipinos as products as schools, colleges, and universities have their souls saved; but at the expense of something far more precious - their minds twisted and their hearts distorted with sick religious values and beliefs. In the meantime, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are only getting more famous throughout the world as the SICK MAN OF ASIA. Especially as we continue to be educated to believe that only after death should we enjoy a happy and decent life with God and with Jesus and his apostles in heaven!

The Existence of God - PROVE IT

If God, in order to exist, has no need of a creator, why should the universe need to be created by a creator? - We atheists simply reject YOUR claims (okay, having a good laugh at them too), which shouldn't be inconceivable considering the lack of evidence you have to support said claims. But, you can squash this; all you have to do is PROVE IT. Meanwhile, why bother praying to: OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN? As if you seriously know where heaven is located? Well, why not pray to: OUR GOD WHO ART ON EARTH? We all know where earth is located, but where is God on earth? Where is God in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century! As usual God is only always OMNI-ABSENT, NEVER OMNI-PRESENT! Or, even more ticklish - God only loves to play HIDE AND SEEK GAME like children do love to play said game at any time. For my part, I do not believe in the existence of God because, to begin with, God is unbelievable! I do not see why there is the need first to mutilate my mind and heart in order to prove the existence of God. I never experienced such horrors in believing in the existence of the sun! The sun never threatened to burn me forever inside the sun if I doubted its existence! I love the sun; more important, I respect the sun. The sun has no need of apostles or disciples or followers to reveal to me the truth about the existence of the sun! It is self-evident not only to the majority, but also to the minority!...

Sick Men In Defense of a Sick God

If there is a God existing as all-knowing and all-powerful, why would he need you to waste your energies in his defense?

Such a God, to me, is a sick God not worth fearing! Such a God is only worth rejecting!

Thought to Provoke Your Thought on my Coming Death

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” --- Mark Twain... Me too, I do not fear death. Billions of years before I was born, I was happy and peaceful existing as a nothing. I did not then have anything to do with a sick God in hell or in heaven who promised me that If I obeyed his commandments I will be saved to enjoy eternal salvation later after death in his kingdom!. . . In the meantime, there is no such thing as life after death. Even the bible says so. Please read:"The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten." Eccl. 9:5... In the meantime, the whole root of our troubles in life is that we have needlessly sacrificed all the beauty of our lives by incarcerating ourselves with totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, beliefs, values, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have... For my part, both as a Filipino and an American citizen, I have settled the sick issue with one simple blow - I have learned to live not by kneeling down, but by standing up... That there is more to life than just stupid believing... There is something more precious - intelligent thinking. Especially to put more beauty into this world where nature has put only horrors... To leave this world a better place that how we found it; not necessarily in the material, but in the humanitarian - sense!. . . And in the degree where we can all be great that is the business of each and everyone of us!...

The Power of Prayer Not to Heal but to Kill

"In the Middle Ages, when there was an epidemic, people crowded into churches to pray, thinking that their piety would move God to take pity on them; in fact the crowd in ill-ventilated building provided ideal conditions for the spread of the infection...

H. L. Mencken on Religious Beliefs

H. L. Mencken’s Religious Beliefs As for religion, I am quite devoid of it. Never, in my adult life, have I experienced anything that could be plausibly called a religious impulse. My father and grandfather were agnostics before me and, although I was sent to Sunday School as a boy and exposed to the Christian theology, I was never taught to believe it. My father thought that I should learn what it was, but it apparently never occurred to him that I would accept it. He was a good psychologist. What I got in Sunday School – beside a wide acquaintance with Christian hymnology – was, simply, a firm conviction that the Christian faith was full of palpable absurdities, and the Christian god preposterous. Since that time, I have read a great deal in theology – perhaps much more than the average clergyman – but I have never discovered any reason to change my mind. The act of worship, as carried on by Christians, seems, to me, to be debasing rather than ennobling. It involves grovelling before a Deity who, if He really exists, deserves to be denounced instead of respected. I see little evidence, in this world, of the so-called goodness of God. On the contrary, it seems to me that, on the strength of His daily acts, He must be set down a most cruel, stupid, and villainous fellow. I can say this with a clear conscience, for He has treated me very well – in fact, with vast politeness. But, I can’t help thinking of His barbaric torture of most of the rest of humanity. I simply can’t imagine revering the God of war and politics, theology and cancer. I do not believe in immortality and have no desire for it. The belief in it issues from the puerile egos of inferior men. In its Christian form, it is little more than a device for getting revenge upon those who are having a better time on this earth. What the meaning of human life may be, I don’t know: I incline to suspect that it has none. All I know about it is that, to me at least, it is very amusing, while it lasts. Even its troubles, indeed, can be amusing. Moreover, they tend to foster the human qualities that I admire most – courage, and its analogues. The noblest man, I think, is that one who fights God and triumphs over Him. I have had little of this to do. When I die, I shall be content to vanish into nothingness. No show, however good, could conceivably be good forever. – an extract from a letter H. L. Mencken wrote to Will Durant in 1931. The letter was published in On the Meaning of Life, edited by Will Durant (New York: Ray Long and Richard R. Smith, 1932). In 1931, Will Durant asked various public figures to contribute their opinions on the meaning of life, as they understood it. Their responses were published in the volume documented above. H. L.

The way to combat Communism is not war.

 For my part, as a high expelled student student of some 65 years ago, I say: schools, colleges, and universities as own and operated tax free by the Catholic church pretty much explain why we Filipinos in this already 21st century are still spiritually poor and aimless as a people; still morally backward and rudderless as a nation.

 There is no such thing as GOOD verses EVIL in the Philippines. There is only EVIL versus EVIL and EVIL is always winning. Thanks to our sick and corrupt and college-educated officials in charge of the CHURCH always in cahoots with the sick and corrupt and college-educated officials in charge of the STATE. . .

Why I Thank God I am an Atheist

For my part, I thank God that I am an atheist only because I am fully aware that God himself is also an atheist. Indeed, God has no religion. Well, we atheists have no religion too. Do any of you really believe that if God believed in the existence of other Gods, he would bother to write in His first command: "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME!" ... "Obviously God recognized the existence of other Gods and he did not want the rest of you frightened saps to believe in the existence of such Gods! It is all about a sick supernatural mess, isn't it? ... In the meantime, please get to know your own bible. In Luke 1:37, it clearly states: FOR WITH GOD, NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE." ... Well, how come God always found it impossible to get me excommunicated out of the Catholic church so that I could be a happy and a proud ATHEIST! I had to excommunicate myself out of the mess!. . .

WOW GOD LOVES TO PLAY MORE GAMES

"We serve God by sharing His words with others." ... Philippine Star, July 3, 2015 . . .If God were already existing here, existing there, and existing everywhere why should God need us to share His words with others? On the other hand, God need us to share His words with others only because God would rather be only OMNI-ABSENT, as God does not give a hoot to be OMNI-PRESENT!...

Religious Garbage Taught to Innocent Children to Believe at Home and in School

"God is outside space time. That's where he is. There is nothing wrong with fear... It's gift from God. Fear makes us think of God and urges us to cling to him for help. The problem with the atheists is they are too dumb to understand this simple realty or truth."... Enrique C. Amador WOWOWEEE, Amador, the greatest of theologians know nothing of WHO or WHAT or WHERE God is; and, the greatest of scientists know nothing of time and space; and yet you know that God exists outside time, outside space, and outside reality... Sir, are you really that sick as a religious clown; or, just a spiritually fucked idiot as you were frightened to believe during grade school years by lowly-paid "employees" more referred to as "teachers" in Catholic schools, or by low-paid employees more referred to as "professors" in college? ... In the meantime, the worst thing you can do to innocent children at home and in school is to frighten them to believe and to have faith in a lot of sick religious garbage!...

THE SUPOT AS AMONG THE CHOSEN PEOPLE OF GOD IN THE HOLY BIBLE

At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites again.”... So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth... Now this is why he did so: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt... All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not... The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the Lord... For the Lord had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey... So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised... They were still uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the way... And after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp until they were healed... And to think that millions of supots in the Philippines have high hopes to be as among the Chosen people of God too... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Could any of you religious morons explain why in the book of proverbs, it says that those who love God and seek Him, shall find Him; but in the same book of Proverbs, it says that if you look for God, you will not find Him." ...

The world population (the total number of living humans on Earth) was 7.244 billion as of July 2014. According to the medium fertility estimate by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division and it is projected to reach 7.325 billion in July 2015...

God and Satan on Friendly terms as a truth revealed in the holy Bible

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. The Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” ... Job 1:6,7 . . .

Rooms Already Occupied in the House of God in Heaven

My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? ... John 14:2

Wow, ever since the days of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel in the bible, more than a 100 Billion people have already lived and died on this earth. Let's assume half of them - 50,000,000,000 (Billion) dead souls have been saved to be in the house of God thus far. Isn't that a kind of a messy way to enjoy eternal salvation in heaven? 

What about the other 50 Billion souls already DAMNED by the devil in Hell?  

Am I to assume that since there are still some 8 BILLION living on this earth today - both GOD and the DEVIL are not as fully satisfied with their mission in life to SAVED and to DAMNED souls after death?  Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Life Has Meaning only After Birth

There is meaning in life but only after birth. There is no meaning in life after death because there is no such thing as life after death. If there were life after death with what eyes will you see? With what ears will you hear? With what nose will you smell? With what palate will you taste? With what hands or skin will you feel? With what sexual organ will you have sex? With what brain will you think? Moreover, nobody dies partially. We all die entirely. The human body, after death, is but a mass of meat, incapable to producing any movements the union of which constitutes life. We no longer see circulation, respiration, digestion, sexual stimulation, or reflection. Nothing is more natural than to believe that the dead man lives no more, nothing more absurd than to believe that the dead man somewhere out there in space is still living.

Atheism is not Thoughtless Opinion; it is Thoughtful Opinion

“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.” --- Harlan Ellison- - - No one, but no one is entitled to be an atheist. You must work hard at thinking and learning if you wish to be an atheist. Thoughtful atheism is not something we inherit like thoughtless religion. I was raised and educated to be a Catholic because my mother and father were Catholics. I got to be an atheist not out of my free will to believe in nothing; but due to, if not the results of my questioning everything. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Sick Life Surrendered to a Sick God

"No life is more secure than the life surrendered to God." Philippine Star, June 24, 2015 ... When we seriously consider the fact that God is only always OMNI-absent; never OMNI-present and that we Filipinos have been taught via schools, colleges, and universities to believe that life is more secure when surrendered to God - it is easy to imagine why we are religiously sick and frightened as a people; and, why we are also sick and intellectually unenlightened as a nation.

Religion with its Sick Customs and Sick Traditions

“It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion” --- Bertrand Russell. . . It is the exact same horror with the Philippines. What keeps us Filipinos frightened to love not, to believe not, to develop not, and to keep not clean, orderly, healthy, and progressive our own country is sick religion with its sick dogma, pigma, and hogma... To think that sick religion is still pretty much at the foundation of the sick system of education in schools,colleges, and universities established by sick religion in order to keep our country perpetually poor, sick, and eternally backward...

Noynoy Aquino (2010-Present) President: Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Cojuangco Aquino III (2010-Present) Vice-President: Jejomar "Jojo" Cabauatan Binay- - - Not one of these presidents was an atheist. All were Catholics, except one. All of these presidents took advantage of the power of prayer to God. They all prayed daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly to God. Especially to help them as president to straighten out the social, political, economical, religious, and governmental mess throughout the country. Especially since the Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Soon, next year, we will have a new Catholic president. Again, it is highly expected, that he or she will continue to faithfully pray to God to help fix once and for all the social, political, economical, religious, and governmental mess out of our poor and sick and corrupt and backward country. For my part, as an atheist, I hope, this time, finally, God will listen to the old prayers of the new President of the Republic of the Philippines.- Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Without God Life Has No Meaning - NO KIDDING

I am often told that Without God, life has no meaning. Of course, without God, life has no meaning. After all, who is going to forgive our meaningful sins and forgive our meaningful crimes if not God or His Son Jesus? Look at the sinners and criminals as the sick and corrupt officials in our sick and corrupt government. They are always bragging that they are "MAKA-dios, and that they are also all MAKA-Jesus in this only Catholic country in Asia. I say, there is no reason to believe that life needs to be eternal in order to be meaningful. Indeed, there is evidence that quite the opposite in the case: for example, a film, a performance, a novel or a sporting event without end would completely lose any meaning. In the same way, we can question what would be the point of doing anything at all if we had an eternity to live, with nothing to bring it into focus and give it some urgency and poignancy. My mentor Bertrand Russell summarized it more meaningfully: “I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting." . . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

So There Is A God, So What?

So there is a God! So what? Why is such a God only always OMNI-ABSENT, never OMNI-PRESENT? I'd like to meet God face to face in the here and now. I'd like to tell God to his face that he has been a LOUSY God; specially to us millions of filthy poor and sick Filipinos and the few filthy-rich Filipinos who are among the biggest saps and jerks in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century!

Success in Life

We are all born ignorant, not sick or corrupt. We are made sick and corrupt via a sick and corrupt system of education in the Philippines. If we wish to know why we, as a people, are filthy, messy, and sick even as a nation - take a closer look at our sick and corrupt system of education; especially as operated by the power of authority of Catholicism in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

 In the meantime, millions of college educated Filipinos believe they are poor because they have no money. On the contrary, the worse kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind. Among those who are truly rich are those who are rich in spirit as they only wish via to learn more as learning via the search of the truth is a lifetime adventure.

Here, however, is what Bertrand Russell wrote on the pursuit of more money: “Love of money
has been denounced by moralists since the world began. I do not wish to add another to the moral denunciations, of which the efficacy in the past has not been encouraging. I wish show how the worship of money is both an effect and a cause of diminishing vitality, and how our institutions might be changed so as to make the worship of money grow less and general vitality grow more. It is not the desire for money as a means to definite ends that is in question. A struggling artist may desire money in order to have leisure for his art, but this desire is finite, and can be satisfied by a very modest sum. It is the worship of money that I wish to consider: the belief that values may be measured in terms of money, and that money is the ultimate test of success in life. This belief is held in fact, if not in words, by multitudes of men and women, and yet it is not in harmony with human nature, since it ignores vital needs and the instinctive tendency towards some specific kind of growth. It makes men treat as unimportant those of their desires which run counter to the acquisition of money, and yet such desires are, as a rule, more important to well-being than any increase of income. It leads men to mutilate their own natures from a mistaken theory of what constitutes success, and to give admiration to enterprise which add nothing to human welfare. It promotes a dead uniformity of character and purpose, a diminution in the joy of life, and a stress and strain which leaves whole communities weary, discouraged, and disillusioned.” --- Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Separation of Church and State in the Philippines

For as long as you have government officials who are the products of education in Catholic grade school, Catholic high school, and in Catholic universities, the Separation of State and Church in the Republic of the Philippines can only be a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony! Well, as the only Catholic country in Asia, since our government officials are devout and faithful Catholics it will be a sin for them not to loyal first to God, and then, if at all, as a miracle, to love our country.

Morality versus Human Intelligence

Morality is the product of the evolutionary development of man and society. Morality is always relative and never absolute. Within the framework of our society, we chose our own, personal code of moral conduct. In the meantime, morality is for mentally retarded children who have been educated to fear intellectual growth. Human intelligence, however, is for men and women educated enough to acquire more knowledge and wisdom in order to put more beauty into this world where the sick sense of religious morality have put only horrors.

The Sick Religion that Frightens Instead of Brightens the Innocent Mind of a Child

Religion frightens you to ignore the plain truth that when you came out of your mama's womb, you were born an atheist. Indeed, no child is born with a religion. All children are atheists. No child is born a Catholic or born a Muslim or born as a faithful believer in a lot of ecclesiastical crap. Indeed, as the song in South Pacific play goes: You've got to be taught To hate and fear, You've got to be taught From year to year, It's got to be drummed In your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught. You've got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made, And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade, You've got to be carefully taught. You've got to be taught before it's too late, Before you are six or seven or eight, To hate all the people your relatives hate, You've got to be carefully taught!
