All Religions are Based on Lies and Deceptions

All religions are based on lies and deceptions. All believers of such religions are not the courageous masters, but the sick and frightened victims. Belief, any belief is a needless load on one's back. More to the point: Belief makes one's precious mind move not on wheels, but only on hinges, The truth has no need of believers. The truth can stand alone without believers. Only lies need believers, defenders, and protectors! For my part, as an atheist, I would rather enjoy at any time the power and the beauty of thought. That is why, till the day I die, I will continue writing my thoughts to provoke the thought of others. After all, thinking is a rarity. There is nothing quite like it in all of nature! Think of it: In the history of mankind, atheism has never had a single moment of failure. Never, not even once, has atheism been proven wrong. Otherwise, why is the existence of God still a vague mystery - still always omniabsent, never, but never omnipresent? - Poch Suzara

Our Old and Sick Newspapers

If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do, you are misinformed. - Mark Twain In the Philippines, if you do not read or do not believe what's published in the newspapers, you are crankpot; if, however, you do read and do believe what's published daily in the newspapers, you are a crackpot. In the meantime, in our sick and poor and backward country, there is freedom of the press; sadly, however, not for the sick, poor, and blind readers, but only for the few sick and filthy rich owners of the press. - Poch Suzara

Sick Filipinos of Asia and the Sick Americans of the World

It must be a wonderful feeling for us Filipinos to feel that we are famous as the SICK MAN OF ASIA; but it is, nevertheless, a lesser evil compared to the Americans who are now even more famous as the SICK AMERICANS OF THE WORLD. Indeed, we Filipinos hate other Filipinos for the glory of our divinity; but the Americans kill foreigners in foreign countries, and if that we not possible, Americans love to kill other Americans in America especially for the sake of protecting their freedom and for defending their democracy; or for the sake of God who has always blessed America!... I said it before, I said it again: we Filipinos in the Philippines and Americans in America have historically always been the sick victims, not the healthy masters, - of Christianity. . .

The Sick Son of a Sick God

"But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So because of Christ, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressures. For when I am weak, then I am strong."... 2 Corinthians 12:9-11... Wow! What a lot of sick and childish hogwash unworthy of a God who is all-knowing, all-just, and all-powerful... Poch Suzara

Religion is intimidation hidden under Education

Religion is the marketing of fear more referred to as "education" in Schools, Colleges, and Universities in the Philippines. Blessed are the poor (donate heavily). Blessed are the meek (obey). Blessed are the humble (don’t question authority). Blessed are the hungry (make us rich while you starve). Blessed are the merciful (if you catch us doing something wrong, let it go). Blessed are the pure of heart (switch off your brain). Blessed are the timid, the cowardly, the fearful. Blessed are those who give us their power and become our slaves. That’s the kind of nonsense religion pushes on people. They train you to turn your back on courage, strength, and conscious living. This is stupidity, not divinity. Religion will teach you to fear being different, to fear standing up for yourself, and to fear being an independent thinker. It will erode your self-trust by explaining why you’re unable to successfully manage life on your own terms: You are unworthy. You’re a sinner. You’re unclean. You belong to a lesser caste. You are not enlightened. Of course the solution is always the same — submit to the will of an external authority. Believe that you’re inadequate. Give away your power. Follow their rules and procedures. Live in fear for the rest of your life, and hope it will all turn out okay in the end. When you practice faith instead of conscious living, you live under a cloak of fear. Eventually that cloak becomes so habitual you forget it’s even there. It’s very sad when you reach the point where you can’t even remember what it feels like to wield creative freedom over your own life, independent of what you’ve been conditioned to believe. Faith is the coward’s substitute for courage. It’s also really good marketing if you’re the one who controls the faith. If you’re afraid or unwilling to assume total responsibility for your life, you’re a perfect match for religion. Fear in one part of your life invariably spreads to all other parts — you can’t compartmentalize it. If you find yourself frustrated because you’re too afraid to follow your dreams, to talk to members of the opposite sex, to speak up for yourself, etc., then a good place to start is to rid your life of all religious nonsense. Don’t let fear get a foothold in your consciousness. Stop trying to comfort yourself by swallowing religious rubbish. If you really need something to believe in, then believe in your own potential. Put your trust in your own intellect. Stop giving away your power. Dump the safety-in-numbers silliness. Just because a lot of people believe stupid stuff doesn’t mean it isn’t stupid. It just means that stupidity is popular on this planet. When people are in a state of fear, they’ll swallow just about anything to comfort themselves, including the bastion of stupidity known as religion. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

-THE INSANE THEORY OF REVELATION -

In the theory of evolution, they said that apes and humans are came from the same ancestors Are all apes came from monkeys? Or monkeys are came from apes? There are some contradictions between Linnean and Cladistics (Phylogenetics). Most of the atheists believe that humans are came from apes ('though not mentioned by Darwin). Is it a good assumption? Are we really came from apes? Or from monkeys? - Ernesto Tabios Oh my dear Ernesto, What's truly tragic and painful as far as the apes and the monkeys are concerned is that they see under the Theory of Evolution - not that they evolved into decent human beings, but evolved instead into religious saps and biblical jerks more faithfool with the insane theory of Revelation! - Poch Suzara

Albert Einstein on the Educational System

Albert Einstein on the educational system, said, “It is almost a miracle that modern teaching methods have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom.” Poch Suzara on the sick system of education in the Philippines, said: "We are all born as unbelievers, not believers of the faith. We are educated to be the sick, nay, to be the insane believers of the faith via schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines - the only Catholic/Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. Thus, in the day and age, in this already 21st century, millions of educated Filipinos, as the Sick Man of Asia, are still hoping and praying and believing for the return of Jesus to save the Philippines!...

Who Is Poch Suzara from Mozilla Firefox

Blog Archives Religion Killed All Those People? Posted by Miguel The hilarious thing about radical atheists nowadays is their pathetic, shallow, and ridiculously paltry understanding of not only religion, to which their attention is devoted, but also of history, from which they draw the conclusion that religion is evil. Take this poorly informed chap, Poch Suzara, for instance, over at some other blog, who starts off his post with such remarkable drivel: “Throughout History many people have been killed for, or in, the name of someone’s God. Most Religions ‘know’ that their Religion is the only one true and correct Religion and that all others are a threat to their ‘God’, or at least to their Religion, and should be done away with, or ‘converted’ to their Religion.” You’d think that after the bait he’s given above he’d be subsequently swarming us with sound evidence to support his claims, yet we soon find out, however, he neither does any of that, nor does he even make an attempt to. Rather, he gives us a list which he matter-of-factly names as one that is of “people who probably or actually have been killed in the name of Religion.” (I removed the non-Christian related): “1. All who were killed by the Inquisition, which was operated by the Catholic Church and also by some governments. 2. All who were killed by God as shown in the Holy Bible (I have seen reference to over 2 million people who were killed by or under the supposed orders of God. I did not add them up, yet. The so-called bad guy Satan is only credited with killing a few people, at least in the Holy Bible. Makes one think, if you are a Freethinker.) 3. All who died in the “Crusades” (Hundreds of thousands if not millions) (Christians and Muslims) 4. American Indians killed for being Pagans by the so-called Freedom of Religion loving Christians (Millions to tens of millions of people) 5. Christians killed by Hitler even thought Hitler was a Christian (Catholic). 6. Freemasons killed by Hitler 7. Hatuey killed by Christians right after the discovery of the New World. 8. Huguenots killed by Roman Catholics in Florida in 1565 in the First Battle for Religious Freedom in America. 9. Irish Catholics and Protestants killed in their fight for whatever they were fighting over. 10. Jacques DeMolay and other members of the Knights Templar murdered by the Catholic Church. 11. Jews killed by Hitler (Said to be over six million, but who knows. Perhaps more, perhaps less) 12. Knights Templar members who were Burned at the Stake by the Catholic Church. 13. Salem Witches 14. Snake handlers who expect God to protect them from rattlesnakes. (God may look after fools and drunks but He only goes so far. Use you God given brain.) 15. Witches who were hung or Burned at the Stake by Christians and perhaps other Religions. 16. Others were not killed but were merely imprisoned and tortured in the name of God. Galileo is an example.” The really sad — or amusing (whichever the case may be) — thing about what Poch said above is that it’s not satire; no, he’s actually serious. That slab of words I’ve quoted from him above, that was — he was — serious. My estimation of him would be higher in fact had I simply thought him to be disingenuous, as some are wont to be, but no, that’s not the case; he really, truly, believes that shit. 1. Let’s grant him the common tropes, fine; the Inquisition — the medieval, Spanish and Portugal one — the deaths of which we unfortunately find out amount to only 6,000, despite that we are usually told — by atheists mostly — it amounted to millions upon millions. 2. Our ill-informed historian, Poch, goes on to count the one’s “killed by God in the bible”, despite presumably believing in exactly zero of what’s written there. O.K., fine, let’s grant him that, shaky as it may be. 3. Then the Crusades. Ah, one of the usual tropes which nobody — nobody who knows something about history, that is — should grant to our historian given that it was done more for material, rather than religious, considerations. And it would be utterly futile to argue otherwise. The impetus for the Crusades to the East was even the Muslim’s aggressive conquests of Christian Land — it was a response to it. 4. American Indians were killed for their land not their paganism, so shoot that. 5, 6 and 11, are hilariously all about Hitler having killed someone or some group of people, which should apparently be counted against religion by some convoluted logic about Hitler being Catholic. This is, of course, outright idiocy, and therefore, unfortunately for our historian Poch, not counted. If there were any evidence indicating Poch to be an impartial historian, these delusions about Hitler having killed in Gods name subverts them. 7. Hatuey was killed, again, not because of religion, but because of his anti-colonialism. Not counted. 8. Presumably the St. Bartholomew’s day massacre is of what he’s speaking here, where the Catholic church had about 10,000 Protestants killed, seeking to rid the city of them. While I’m tempted to defend this one as just another case of power-hungry ruling elites behaving badly, what the heck, I’ll be generous and give our historian the 10,000. 9. The Protestant and Catholic wars of Ireland were not religiously motivated, although they were often justified in those terms to unite people. The war was scarcely about a theological disagreement on transubstantation, despite that that’s what the radical atheists would have us believe, and was mainly about British colonialism, which the Protestants supported and the Catholics opposed. 10 and 12. Jacks Demolay and the orders of the Knights Templar were arrested and killed because France’s King Phillip was an asshole who happened to be financially indebted to them. Not counted. 13 and 15. The Salem Witch Trials — while we’re led to believe thousands upon thousands of witches were hanged, the actual number is 35. 14. Snake handlers who expect protection from God but get bit instead, have apparently died, if Poch were to be believed, in the name of God. Again, nothing to see or argue against here, just more logical dim-wittery. 15. Galileo was tortured by the Catholic Church, he says. Fine, plus one for you. What are we left with? Well, even after being much too generous to him, all in all it amounts to about 2,016,036 deaths — that’s even granting his 2 million biblical deaths, which I don’t even think for one moment is accurate in the slightest. First, some trivia from Scot Atran, who, according to his Wiki page, “is an American and French anthropologist who has studied violence and interviewed terrorists” — in other words, somone who, unlike Poch Suzara, actually knows shit: “The Encyclopedia of Wars surveyed 1,763 violent conflicts across history; only 123 (7 percent) were religious.[…]Indeed, inclusive concepts such as “humanity” arguably emerged with the rise of universal religions. “ In other words: sorry Poch :( My Response: As a high school expelled student of some 65 years ago, I am most proud and happy that with my Blog, I have managed, somehow, to provoke the thought of others with my thoughts. We are told, that the only sacred truth there is in science is that there are no sacred truths. The search of the truth therefore is not only man's most noble of professions, but a lifetime devotion to the search of the truth isn't enough. - Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Why I Envy, Love, Respect, and Admire Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879, to Jewish parents who were a bit disappointed that young Albert was a late talker. He excelled in math, but otherwise was not a spectacular student. One teacher even told him he would never amount to anything. The world now knows that teacher was wrong. Einstein later revealed that his schools seemed bent on stifling creativity and originality, of which Albert had plenty. About that educational system, he said, “It is almost a miracle that modern teaching methods have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom.” For my part, I envy Albert Einstein - he had the guts to dropped out of school. With me, like the silly student that I was, my teachers had to get me expelled out of high school. Well, Albert Einstein got to be quite famous as one of the greatest thinkers who changed the ways of the world; especially with the Theory of Relativity. As with me, I hope to be famous too one day as one who changed the ways of the Filipinos in the Philippines with my Theory of Insanity + Stupidity + Mystery behind a Divinity = Sick Christianity...

Christianity Has Nothing to Offer Atheism

Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation." - George H. Smith. . .

We have no fear of death as we do not believe that there is life after death... Just like every one else, I too arrived into this world as an atheist.

Bertie's Memory Work Age 5 page 2

Well after all, Pickering, I'm an ordinary man, Who desires nothing more than an ordinary chance, to live exactly as he likes, and do precisely what he wants... An average man am I, of no eccentric whim, Who likes to live his life, free of strife, doing whatever he thinks is best, for him, Well... just an ordinary man... BUT, Let a woman in your life and your serenity is through, she'll redecorate your home, from the cellar to the dome, and then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you... Let a woman in your life, and you're up against a wall, make a plan and you will find, that she has something else in mind, and so rather than do either you do something else that neither likes at all You want to talk of Keats and Milton, she only wants to talk of love, You go to see a play or ballet, and spend it searching for her glove, Let a woman in your life and you invite eternal strife, Let them buy their wedding bands for those anxious little hands... I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling than to ever let a woman in my life, I'm a very gentle man, even tempered and good natured who you never hear complain, Who has the milk of human kindness by the quart in every vein, A patient man am I, down to my fingertips, the sort who never could, ever would, let an insulting remark escape his lips Very gentle man... But, Let a woman in your life, and patience hasn't got a chance, she will beg you for advice, your reply will be concise, and she will listen very nicely, and then go out and do exactly what she wants!!! You are a man of grace and polish, who never spoke above a hush, all at once you're using language that would make a sailor blush, Let a woman in your life, and you're plunging in a knife, Let the others of my sex, tie the knot around their necks, I prefer a new edition of the Spanish Inquisition than to ever let a woman in my life I'm a quiet living man, who prefers to spend the evening in the silence of his room, who likes an atmosphere as restful as an undiscovered tomb, A pensive man am I, of philosophical joys, who likes to meditate, contemplate, far for humanities mad inhuman noise, Quiet living man.... But, let a woman in your life, and your sabbatical is through, in a line that never ends comes an army of her friends, come to jabber and to chatter and to tell her what the matter is with YOU!, she'll have a booming boisterous family, who will descend on you en mass, she'll have a large wagnarian mother, with a voice that shatters glass, Let a woman in your life, Let a woman in your life, Let a woman in your life I shall never let a woman in my life.

Listen to her true words about the holy bible: "The bible is a compilation of trashy, incoherent, confabulated, incredible tales, poems, sagas, and pieces of dramas. It is full of hatred, murder, greed, falsehoods, lust, sado-masochism, absurdities, contradictions, stupidities. Need we go on?"... As a studious reader of the bible myself, I totally agree...

Raising Happy and Mentally Healthy Children

“My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.” ― Frank Zappa... Totally, entirely, proudly, I agree. In the Philippines, however, if I may add, if you want to raise happy, mentally healthy children - keep them away from schools, colleges, and universities especially as they are owned and operated by the Catholic church. They are places where believing, not deeper learning or thinking is taught; where only more praying is taught. Look at our officials in the government all with college education: they are efficient not at governing, but only efficient at daily praying to Jesus; especially for the forgiveness of their sins and their crimes.

In fact, if the same have been done in the Philippines - throw religion out of public schools, including private schools, colleges, and universities - Filipinos could be educated to be healthy as a people and the Philippines could be educated wealthy as a nation.

US Criminals in Prison Filipino Criminals in Government

"America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 5% of the world's population and 25% of its prisoners. Nearly 2½ million Americans are in prison. Over 65 million people, or 20% of the country, have criminal records. Most disturbingly, nearly 40% of our country's prisoners are African-Americans, who only make up 13% of the general population." The impact on the American family structure is undeniable: More than half the 2.5 million incarcerated Americans are parents of minor children. Happily this is not such a BIG scandal. The BIGGER scandal is in the Philippines. Our criminals are not inside prison. They are inside government office. None are atheistic as all of them were raised and educated as Catholics. They are all happy and proud to brag that they have earned college education in the Philippines. And more than that they all have, on their side, a Son of God Jesus who never fails to forgive them of their sins against the people and their crimes against the country.

"There are no atheists in a plane crash," or "there are no atheists in shipwrecks," or the more popular phrase "there are no atheists in foxholes" - are all minor horrors. The major horror is when we know that there are no atheists in the rotten and corrupt government. Our sick government officials all believe not only in the existence of God, but, especially believe in a God who is always available to forgive them of their sins and crimes. Such is the Philippine government - a government of the filthy-rich criminals, by the filthy-rich criminals, and for the filthy-rich criminals. In the meantime, 85 per cent of the 100 million Filipino population of the Philippines - the only Catholic/Christian country in Asia since the 16th century are still hoping and praying for the return of Jesus - their Savior - to save them away from poverty, misery, mindless religious insanity, and from endless political stupidity. Of course, let us not ignore the fact that there are also no atheist teachers and professors in Catholic schools, colleges, and universities. They continue to teach boys to grow up like religious morons who keep the Philippines still spiritually sick as a catholic country. Religious and frightened morons like Rogers, or Angel Arando or Eddie Calderon, etc. - all happy and proud to be known as college educated saps and jerks who have nothing going on for them in this life except a Sweet Jesus born in a Jewish land some 2,000 years ago a land that never got to be converted into a Catholic country as it is still today a Jewish State!

The Sick and Ugly Religions of the World

The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad. . . Friedrich Nietzsche...

Sick Religion at the Foundation of a Sick System Education

I think the greatest gift of the Soviet Union to modern civilization was the dethronement of the clergy and the refusal to let religion be taught in the public schools.” ― W.E.B. Du Bois The Filipinos in the Philippines are still poor and backward because the priesthood industry is still pretty much in control of the sick system of education. Indeed, via schools, colleges, and universities millions upon millions of Filipinos are educated to become not productive or creative citizens of the Republic, but educated to become first and foremost frightened and faithful Catholic.

People, Events, and Ideas

Most men never rise above viewing things as objects of desire - hence their shallow-mindedness. They do, however, suffer with deadly paralysis; but to see people, events, and ideas as objects of understanding is the greatest of freedom; specially the freedom to enjoy the joys of critical analysis.

Spinoza's free will compared to a Stone's trajectory

"Men think themselves free because they are conscious of their volitions and desires, but are ignorant of the causes by which they are led to wish and desire.

With God Nothing Shall be Impossible

For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37. Oh yes, there is something impossible with God. Surely, it has been impossible with God to convince millions upon millions of Filipinos that they can and should read and study the bible for and by themselves. That they have no need of a sick religious moron, like Pastor Eli Soriano to read and interpret bible contents for them. . . But then again, on second thought, nothing has been impossible with God.

Freedom as the greatest of Good

Most men, specially those with college education in the Philippines, never rise above to view things as objects of desire - hence their shallow-mindedness. But to see things purely as objects for critical analysis, indeed, for deeper understanding, is to rise to freedom. No doubt, freedom is the greatest of good; for without freedom, especially freedom of the mind and heart, the growth and the beauty of one's personality becomes impossible. Life and knowledge are today so complex, that only by free discussion can we pick our way through errors and prejudices to that total perspective which is the truth. Let men, let even theologians and politicians, teachers and professors differ and debate. Out of such diversity of opinions will come an intelligent relativity of belief which will not readily fly to arms; hatred and war come largely from fixed ideas or dogmatic faith. Freedom of thought and speech would go like cleansing drought through the brain of the "modern mind."Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

St. Francis of Assisi abandoned a life of luxury for a life devoted to Christianity after reportedly hearing the voice of God, who commanded him to rebuild the Catholic church and live in poverty.

Why was the Church falling to begin with? What were the priests, the nuns, the bishops, and the cardinals, not to mention the popes doing with the church?

Is atheism just another religion?

Atheism is not a religion. There are no holy atheist scriptures, no atheist holy bible, no atheist Pope and no atheist rituals, tenets, creeds, code, authority or ceremonies. Atheists come from every possible background, race and gender. They hold a variety of beliefs and convictions, and no two atheists will have exactly the same views or ideals other than their lack of belief in any gods. Atheists may disagree on many issues except one: none of us can ever disagree with the fact that when were born, coming out of mama's womb - we were all atheists. We did not believe in God. We had no religion. No baby is born a Catholic or Muslim or Jewish. All babies are atheists. Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

Grade School Years in Catholic Schools in the Philippines

Grade school years in Catholic schools like in La Salle in the Philippines have more to do with learning how to pray than learning how to read courageously and how to write thoughtfully. . .

Thus, for the most part, in schools, colleges, and universities there is no such thing as real system of education. There is only silly indoctrination. . .

The World seldom at Peace only always at War

"True peace is not the absence of war; it is the presence of God." Phil. Star, Sept 21, 2015 How deadly is the American military? It is difficult to measure how many enemy deaths American armed forces have inflicted... Americans and their allies typically cause 10 to 20 times more combat casualties than American forces suffer... Estimates of Iraqi soldiers killed in the Gulf War range from 1,500 to 100,000. The lowest figure would still be 10 times the number of Americans killed in the war... Approximately 850,000 Vietcong died in the Vietnam War, 18 times the 47,000 U.S. dead... More than 600,000 North Korean and 1 million Chinese fighters died in the Korean War, almost 50 times the 33,000 American dead... In World War II, 3,250,000 German and 1,507,000 Japanese soldiers, sailors, and pilots were killed, 16 times the 291,000 American servicemen who were killed.

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.

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

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!

Bertrand Russell is my Maker

Bertrand is my religion. Russell is my bible. Bertrand Russell is my Maker. Sadly, most men, like Angel Arando, are still stuck trying to understand the works of PEPE and PILAR, if not the works of JACK and JILL. . . Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

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.

LET'S GIVE AMERICA BACK TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERS -THE NATIVE INDIANS

He assured the crowd, “Don’t worry, we’ll take our country back.” - Donald Trump. . .As an American citizen, I sure hope that you can take back AMERICA and give it back to the native American Indians - the original owners - the people we stole AMERICA from and justified our crime against humanity by singing out loud: GOD BLESS AMERICA. THE LAND OF THE FREE. THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. In the meantime, during these past three centuries, to be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time... James A.Baldwin . . . One can imagine how the Native Indians feel as the original owners of a continent now called - the United States of America... They are even more in a rage all the time... Indeed, what the White Christians did to the native Indians and then bring in tens of thousands of Black African slaves yearly to the USA is the greatest crime against humanity... No other country has been guilty of such barbarism. Such savagery! It is today asked: how does one begin to repair the emotional, psychological, and physical damage inflicted by kidnapping millions of members of Africa families, transporting them in chains across the Atlantic as they lay in their excrement, and for those who survived the trip to the New World, subjecting them to unimaginable horrors: scattering their family members, never to be rejoined again; persistently raping their women, such that almost all of their descendants are tainted with the blood of their captors and then lynching, torturing, and castrating their men, who dared to defy their brutal treatment... Legalized slavery occurred in the United States 1619 to 1865 or some (250) years and was followed by another century of legalized racial discrimination... In the meantime, slavery was not romantic; it was cruel,ferocious, brutal, and corrupting in all of its aspects. It was developed in its greatest degree of degradation in GOD BLESS AMERICA - land of the free and the home of the brave. . Raymond A, Winbush, Ph.D in his great book "SHOULD AMERICA PAY"(slavery and the raging debate on REPARATIONS) summarized the American horror: "Until America's white ruling class accepts the fact that the book never closes on massive unredressed social wrongs, America can have no future as one people."...

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 result thus far is that we Filipinos are only enjoying the greatest of miracles: we Filipinos are getting more and more famous throughout the world as the SICK MAN OF ASIA down here for the greater glory of Jesus up there! - Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

It's the Devil who Manages this World for God

WE NEED MORE HOUSING TENEMENTS THAN CHURCHES AND CATHEDRALS

An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated. - - - Madalyn Murray O'Hair. . . In the Philippines, an atheist like me, would like to see more HOUSING TENEMENTS creatively established around the country than see more churches and cathedrals established in the already God-forsaken, poor, and backward country. - - - In fact, I would like to see such HOUSES OF GOD converted to HOUSING facilities for the millions of poor Filipinos are who homeless living in the streets of our major cities... Indeed, transform those churches and cathodrals - monuments to human stupidity into monuments to human sanity. . .Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

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#

I love Thinking. I hate Believing

"At this present day, religion, as embodied in the Churches, discourages honest thinking, in the main, and gives importance to things that are not important." --- Bertrand Russell - - - For my part, as an atheist, I love thinking. I hate believing. My standing up for humanity is far more important to me than believing and kneeling down to a silly divinity... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

FREE WILL versus FREE MIND

“It has always seemed absurd to suppose that a god would choose for his companions, during all eternity, the dear souls whose highest and only ambition is to obey.” - - - Robert G. Ingersoll- - - Well, what is even more absurd is that God gifted you with a free will to do just that... For my part, I treasure more my free mind than I do my free will. . . a Free mind has more to do with the growth and development of one's sanity. Free will has only to do with the growth and development of one's insanity... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

WHY AM I HAPPY

"Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed." . . . Bertrand Russell . . . With me, I am happy because I hate with a passion the sick system of education in the Philippines. The evil, historically, keeps us spiritually frightened as a people, and culturally unenlightened as a nation. Indeed, we are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid via a stupid system of education! Look at us Filipinos as a people in this day and age, in this already 21st century: we only know how to love God up there by hating one another and by hating our own country down here!...

We Need To be civilized, Not Terrorized as a People

Jesus Christ our savior and Jose Rizal out national hero

"Only Jesus can fill us with a sense of belonging like we've never known before." ... Philippine Star, Aug.8, 2015. . . Wow, you editors of Philippine Star, do you really know what you are talking about? Listen to Jesus in the so-called Holy Bible: "IF ANY MAN COME TO ME AND HATE NOT HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, AND YE, HIS OWN LIFE ALSO, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE." Luke 14:26... In our way of daily life in the Philippines, isn't enough that we Filipinos, historically, all love Jesus up there by hating each other down here? What more is there to know about Jesus who, crucified on the cross, cried out loud: 'MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" Matt. 27:46 . . .

 For my part, as a Filipino atheist, I would rather fill my sense of belonging to my country together with what our greatest hero - Dr. Jose Rizal - had the greatest hope for me as a Filipino: “I would like the Filipinos to be brilliant, enlightened, intelligent, and progressive.” . . .Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
