Prof. Peter Stone's Review of Poch Suzara's Book on Bertrand Russell

BERTRAND RUSSELL IN THE PHILIPPINES

Ramon (“Poch”) Suzara. Bertrand Russell to the Rescue:  Can the Wit and Wisdom of Bertrand Russell Save the Philippines? Quezon City, Philippines: Popular Bookstore, [Copies available from the author at pocholosuzara@yahoo.com )

There are many kinds of books about Bertrand Russell. There are the biog- Traphies—Wood, Clark, Moorehead, Monk, not to mention Russell’s own autobiography. There are scholarly studies that address some specific argument he made or cause he championed, such as Gregory Landini’s Russell’s Hidden Substitutional Theory or Jo Vellacott’s Bertrand Russell and the Pacifists in the First World War. And there are general introductions for the nonspecialist, from A. C. Grayling’s Russell: a Very Short Introduction to Paul Strathern’s less highbrow Bertrand Russell in Minutes. But one of the most interesting and yet neglected Russell-related genres consists of popular books aimed at bringing Russell’s ideas to a mass audience. These works present Russell’s ideas as a source of wisdom for coping with today’s problems. Among the more notable examples of this small genre are Lee Eisler’s Morals without Mystery and Peter Cranford’s How to Be Your Own Psychologist: the Art of
Irresistible Influence—Compossibility.

 

Now these works are joined by Poch Suzara’s Bertrand Russell to the Rescue: Can the Wit and Wisdom of Bertrand Russell Save the Philippines?

 

Suzara’s approach is simple. He counterpoises articles from the Filipino press with quotations from Bertrand Russell. He does this in a manner calculated to illustrate how irrational much of Filipino politics and society can be and how
much the situation could be improved if only people took a page from the book of Bertie. To take one example, Suzara reprints part of an article from the Manila Standard depicting

the now deposed president of the Philippines with some of his cronies.

Beneath it, he offers the following line from Russell: “Every man would like to be God, if it were possible; some few find it difficult to admit the impossibility” (p. 85).

Both Cranford and Eisler were longtime mainstays of the Bertrand Russell Society, whose mission centrally involves spreading the word about the Good Lord. It should therefore be unsurprising that Suzara has worked with both the Bertrand Russell Society, and the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation, although today he leads his own Philippines-based group devoted to Bertrand Russell. He also chairs other atheist/humanist/agnostic associations

Jesus - The Founder of the Sick Man of Asia in the Philippines

 

                           

Matthew 10:34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Matthew 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."

Luke 22:36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

Matthew 8:21-22 And another of his disciples said unto him, "Suffer me first to go and bury my father." But Jesus said unto him, "Follow me and let the dead bury their dead."

 Matthew 10:35-37 "For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law — a man's enemies will be the members of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."

Matthew 12:46-50 While he yet talked to the people, behold his mother and brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, "Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with you." But he answered and said, "Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, "Behold, my mother and my brethren! For whoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."

 Matthew 19:29 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life."

Mark 3:33-35 "Who are my mother and my brothers?" [Jesus] asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."

Mark 10:29,30 "Yes," Jesus replied, "and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.

Luke 9:60 "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

Luke 9:61,62 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good bye to my family." Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."

Luke 12:49-53 "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

Luke 14:26 [What about John 3:15 and 4:19-21 (below)?] "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters — yes, even his own life — he cannot be my disciple." [NOTE: Buybull thumpers often say that this doesn't really mean “hate,” it just means “love less.” Some translations even word it like that (e.g. Contemporary English Version), because they don't like that nasty word “hate.” The original Greek word “miseo” always means hate; it has no alternative meaning. The prefixes for misanthropy and misogyny come from miseo. This just shows how screwed-up their minds are. If hate equals a form of love, how can we trust anything that those translations say?]

Luke 19:27 [In the words of a king in a parable.] "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them — bring them here and kill them in front of me."

John 2:4 Jesus saith unto [his mother], "Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come."

John 12:25 "The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life."

Please read your SICK BIBLE! And then try and figure out why in this only Catholic country in Asia since  the 16th century, there is no such thing as the beauty or the sanity or the tranquility of family values. We Filipinos only know how to love Jesus up there by hating one another down here!

Hitler as a Faithfool Catholic

"This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief." — Adolf Hitler, ibid. p 152

"Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable stupidity of the voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight for the 'remaking' of the Reich as they call it." — Adolf Hitler, ibid. Vol. 2 Chapter 1

"The National Government will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life." — Adolf Hitler, Berlin, 1933, first radio address after coming to power.

"The fact that the Catholic Church has come to an agreement with Fascist Italy ... proves beyond doubt that the Fascist world of ideas is closer to Christianity than those of Jewish liberalism or even atheistic Marxism..." — Adolf Hitler in an article in the Völkischer Beobachter, 1929

"I am personally convinced of the great power and deep significance of Christianity, and I won't allow any other religion to be promoted." — Adolf Hitler

"Today Christians ... stand at the head of [this country]... I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity .. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit ... We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past ...

Crazy People

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” - - -  Steve Jobs

In the Philippines, a Filipino crazy enough to think he can change the Philippines is known to be expelled out of high school, and thought to be insane, vulgar, and insulting, and full of venom and hate - me!  Well, I am already 79 years old, a senior citizen, and am ready to go. I only hope that after I am, dead, gone and buried - others will carry on what I can no longer do in trying to change the Philippines into a more decent nation to live in, think for, and work at without having to fear the sick politicians of the sick government always in cahoots with the sick theologians of the sick church.  Poch Suzara,  Father of Atheism in the Philippines

When It Comes to Big-time, Major league Bullshit

 

When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

 

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!

Sick, Rottem, and Corrupt Vagina as a high official in the Philippine government

Aside from the sick, rotten, and corrupt officials we have in the government of the Philippines, we now have something new and unique: a sick, rotten, and corrupt vagina ready and willing to defend and protect first and foremost the sick dicks around her to satisfy her sick vagina. - Poch Suzara

Let's Not Ignore the Sick Minds

Oh my dear Confucius, let’s not ignore the sick minds always talking about how loving  a divinity up there makes more sense than loving our country down here.  Or, that life after death is far more important to attend to than life after birth. Or,  why everybody loves to talk about going to heaven, but nobody wants to die.

The Strength of Mind or the Goodness of heart To be an Atheist

 

Not one man in a thousand has the strength of mind or the goodness of heart to be an atheist. --- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In the Philippines, not one Filipino in ten thousand has the strength of mind or the goodness of heart to be an atheists. But there

is Poch Suzara, a Filipino atheist who together

with his group of genuine atheists know and understand and appreciate the reality that atheism today is worldwide movement without sick or frightened followers. We atheists are healthy leaders of our own destiny in life. We do not beget silly answers. We beget intelligent questions. We are involved with man's greatest of professions - the search

of the truth.

We atheists have our own bible too. It contains only one word: THINK! In the final analysis, we atheists have to live with the knowledge that there is no such thing as salvation, divine intervention, redemption, revelation, or even the existence of the Immaculate Misconception. Whatever the case may be, we atheists are more into lively analysis than we care to live in fear under deadly paralysis. If

we must leave this world one day, we atheists would rather try to leave it as a much better place than how we found it - not necessarily in the material, but in the humanitarian sense ; or, there is no reason why we have ever lived on this earth at all.

With the power of thought in our minds and hearts, we atheists stand on our own
two feet, accept responsibility for our actions, and solve our own problems without needlessly confusing the issues with meaningless words, or with primitive superstitious verbalism, or with destructive ancient ecclesiasticism. - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

Jesus is the Savior of What

Human lifetime on this earth is so short, brief, and fleeting; indeed  a fraction of a millimeter long, a bittersweet instant in eternity, a wink of an eye, a flash in the pan, a fraction of a split- second long. Even our planet earth is so tiny in that a million planets the size of earth can fit inside the sun. In astronomical background, the planet earth is nothing but a tiny piece of dust hardly making any sense existing as a piece of dust of the Milky Way galaxy.

Now can any of you really believe that a Son of the God Jesus during ancient times was born on this piece of dust called earth? And in order to save mankind from sin He allowed himself to be crucified on the cross by silly men created too in the silly image and silly likeness of his own silly Father - God?  And this is the same Jesus who cried out loud from the cross: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!" Luke 23:34

For my part, I say, Jesus could have been more honest and truthful and decent had He, instead, cried out loud on the cross with these last words: ‘MAN, PLEASE FORGIVE GOD FOR HE NEVER KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK HE IS DOING.” Indeed, a God who knows what He is doing would not create Satanism still alive and kicking making sure that it will win more souls for a sick HELL than for Catholicism to win more souls for a sick HEAVEN! And to think Jesus was not even a Catholic. He was born as a Jew and raised as a Jew by Jewish parents in a Jewish land stuck with Jewish beliefs and values. - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

                                                                                    

Sen. Miriam D. Santiago - a Woman of my own mind and heart - A rarity in the Philippine Politics

"The only thing I know about God is that God is inscrutable. In other words, I don’t know a single thing about God. I’m clueless about what God is. Maybe Jesus, or the other historical figures around which religions had been built, would be more approachable. But God itself, being on a divine level, I think it’s just impermeable to human intelligence. And there is a very famous classical book called The Cloud of Unknowing. There’s always a cloud of unknowing over God. I think that, since God is inaccessible to people, we tend to portray Him in anthropomorphic terms. We think of the best qualities in every person and you try and project it on a giant scale on God. So in effect, God is a man-made concept. We have no clue what God is."^[75]

"I do not understand why God can be all love and still inflict this kind of pain on people. This God is an underachiever. He does not do whatever he is supposed to be doing, whatever his sex is. Whether he's an it or a she or a he or whatever. But I'm sure that if you were a god or if I were the God, I would be doing a better job. Therefore, the only conclusion can be that possibly, God does not exist.'<sup>[64]"

Watch Your Dirty or Watch your Dirty Society

Lawmakers to Duterte: WATCH YOUR MOUTH!

 

Poch Suzara to Lawmakers: WATCH YOUR DIRTY SOCIETY! 

Since the 16th century, we continue to be the victim of the deadliest kind of drugs. It is more known as CHRISTIANITY! Keeping us famous as the failures and losers as a people; and keeping the Philippines sick and insane as a nation!

 

Indeed, let's take a serious look at our sick society with sick values and sick beliefs in this already 21st century. In the race among Asian nations to achieve a higher standard of living as a people; and, to achieve a higher standard of thinking as a nation - the Philippines remains way behind.

 

In the meantime, let's take a closer look at our past high government officials - all them sick and corrupt but always bragging that they are all MAKA-DIOS AND MAKA-JESUS! GISING NA TAYO!  - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

                                                        

 

The Results

One great result after I got expelled out of high school was that I began to be a reader. Well, when I also got expelled out of my marriage, the result was greater - I began to
be a writer. Of course, the greatest of results was when I got expelled out of the Catholic church - I began to be a thinker.

Now I am told by my friends, relatives, and associates that I am really nothing but a failure in life. But how could be a shame since I am most proud and happy to be such "failure" in lfe?  Poch Suzara

The Corrupt System of Education and the Results - Our sick and Corrupt Society

 
Take a good look at these evils. The horrors of which are the results of a corrupt system of education - keeping us Filipinos popular as the Corrupt Man of Asia and keeping

the Philippines morally twisted, politically distorted, and historically corrupt as a nation:

 Our lack of housing problems 
 

 Our teen-age pregnancy the highest
 in the  world problems.
 

 Our over supply of street children problems 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 Our traffic mess in the streets problems

 

 Our overcrowded buses and trains problems

 Our population explosion problems

Our garbage and trash in the streets problems

Our overcrowded hospitals and health-clinics problems

Our overcrowded jail, prison facilities  problems

Our insane Maka-Dios and Maka-Jesus officials in government problems

Our TV, Radio, and Newpapers more in the business of justifying political lies, religious hypocrisy, and educated

in their daily indifference to tell the truth Problems.

Our churches and cathedrals, and other religious establishments exist not to make less, but to add more to the evils that is making our corrupt society corrupt  as ever; and to make existence of Jesus as the Savior of Filipino souls easier to sell as religion is BIG BUSINESS in the Philippines. Indeed, Jesus loves us Filipinos; but He needs MONEY!

 

We are all born ignorant, not corrupt. We are made corrupt by a corrupt system of education in the Philippines! --- Poch Suzara

                                                             

note: 

 

Poch Suzara is a La Salle high school expelled student since decades ago. He vehemently rejected to learn how to be a frightened BELIEVER with answers. He wanted more to learn how to be enlightened as a THINKER with questions!

The Filthy-Rich Catholic Bishops of the Philippines

I often prayed to Jesus to help me learn to love the Catholic Bishops. They are among the Filthy-rich Filipinos of our sick and insane society; specially as they are known to be among the top investors with  some 18 BILLION PESOS to play around with in the Makati Stock Exchange.

 

Well, Jesus never answered my prayer. So today, I still have no love for the filthy-rich Catholic Bishops of the Philippines! I am glad as I could never love them anyway; specially as they are all not only sick and corrupt church leaders; but also such sanctimonious deceivers keeping us Filipinos

spiritually poor as a people and keeping the Philippines morally backward as

a nation! - - - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

Poch:

Those exceedingly greedy and corrupt Roman Catholic bishops would not be around to make fools of their flock and succeed in enriching themselves in the process if there were not enough "believers" who are ignorant, fearful of natural phenomena, malleable, myth-loving, superstitious and gullible. It happens that out of a total population of around 107 million, now, roughly 80 percent are  Christians, many or a majority of whom are not in the habit of using what's inside their skulls called "brains" the way these should be used which is clearly, objectively, reasonably, rationally and logically. For these people, THINKING is "torture."

Atheism and Poch Suzara in the Philippines

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." - Steve Jobs
                                                                                    
As with me, I am glad that I am crazy enough to think that I can change the Philippines from Catholicism into Atheism as generated by the beauty behind Humanism.

As long as our society exists there will be evils, and if no Filipino objected or no Filipino

rebelled, those evils will be with us forever and ever doing not good but harm in our country. 

It is time we Filipinos live no more like the Sick Man of Asia; we should, instead, live happily and creatively as the healthiest and the wealthiest people of Asia!

It is time we Filipinos enjoy a higher standard of living as a people and enjoy a higher standard of thinking as a nation.

It is time we Filipinos, at the end of each and every year, celebrate not the birth of Christianity, but the birth of human decency nourishing a sane and a healthy society.

 

It is time we Filipinos enjoy employment in our own country rather than just be better employed in foreign countries.

It is time millions of our poor children to no longer live, cry, eat, play, sleep, pee, and poo in the streets of our major cities.

 

It is time our senior citizens live better as citizens of the Republic rather than just live on a hand to mouth existence with their SSS pension.

It is time we Filipinos learn to no longer be the frightened followers of a mystery existing up out there, but should be living as the enlightened people in love with our own country down here.

It is time we Filipinos fear no more anything angelic, or fear anything demonic. It is time to respect the beauty of thought behind the power of logic.

It is time to grow as a people and develop as a nation not with deadly paralysis, but with lively analysis. Indeed, questions are far more valuable than the answers; especially as the answers, in time, become obsolete.

Well, for my part, I say, even if I am not, as yet, successful with the spread of atheism, at least, as the Father of Atheism of the Philippines, I already started the ball rolling. Specially for others to carry on what I can no longer do after I am dead, buried, and gone.

In the meantime, I do not fear death.  I welcome it. After all, the day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. Nothing is permanent; everything is temporary in this world. So what is there to fear about death that's coming whether we like it or not? - Poch Suzara

What About the Legal Drugs Doing More Harm than Illegal Drugs in the Philippines

 

The illegal drug trade in the Philippines remains a serious national concern. Two of the most used and valuable illegal drugs in the country are methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) and marijuana.Ephedrine and methylenedioxy methamphetamine are also among the list of illegal drugs that are of great concern to the authorities. According to Reuters, the President-elect of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte has predicted the country could become a 'narco-state' if the country's tide of drug addiction is not pushed back. In 2012, the United Nations said the Philippines had the highest rate of methamphetamine use in East Asia, and according to a U.S. State Department report, 2.1 percent of
Filipinos aged 16 to 64 use the drug, which is known locally as "shabu". On Metro Manila, most barangays are being affected by illegal drugs.[1] According to the 2011 UN Drug Report, the Philippines has the highest methamphetamine hydrochloride abuse rate.

Well, what about the legal drugs that destroys the minds and hearts of millions of Filipinos in the Philippines than illegal drugs have been doing so? Look at what Catholicism, Iglesia ni Cristo, El Shaddai, Dating Daan, Son of God church, Jesus is Lord Church, etc. keeping us Filipinos historically poor and aimless as the Sick Man of Asia; and, keeping the Philippines morally thoughtless and economically rudderless as a nation?

Indeed, ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES, thanks to the legal drugs of religion, we Filipinos only know how to love a divinity up there by hating our fellow-citizens in own country down here! Even the sick, rotten, and corrupt officials of our government are always proud to publicly declare that they are all MAKA-DIOS and MAKA-JESUS - which means that all of their sins and crimes are easily forgiven by a God or by Jesus - the Son of God from heaven up there. - Poch Suzara

Old Age

    

"Old age, like any other age, is the time to struggle for  human decency."                                                                                  Bertrand Russell, Atheist

I said it before, I say it again: If only the foundation of  our system of education were more about learning how to create and establish and spread human decency everywhere down here, and nothing to do with prayers to, or having to do with having faith in a sick divinity up there, at this time, surely, ours should already be a sane, healthy, decent, and a wholesome society.

Poch,

That subject line is from "...Push on to victory..." of UP where all my children were schooled. Yes, Poch, your emails are really the best. Lift me up whenever I open the Internet and see your name. TYTYTYTY. 

Given time (I'm a domestic helper from east to west), I'll make some choice comments, somehow, 

Make the most of the day,

Such Childish Nonsense as Truth Revealed in the Bible

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Tim 4:7

Could any of you really believe that God inspired one of his authors to write such childish nonsense as a revealed truth in the bible?

In the meantime, I ask: what fight? What race? And faith in what faith? Since a man of faith is like a drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination? - Poch Suzara

There is No such Thing as the War Between GOOD versus EVIL

Here is something messier for the saps and the jerks to grapple with: In this world, there is no such thing as the war between GOOD  versus EVIL. There is only the war of EVIL versus EVIL and EVIL has always been winning. We, in the Western world, Like silly damned fools, we even call it the WAR for FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY to protect the land of the free and to defend the home of the brave. Oh yes, war has always been BIG BUSINESS for the munition industry. In the meantime, look at us humans living on this piece of dust called earth ruled and dominated by the evils of the great religions all hating each other for the greater of their respective gods who is just as evil as the other gods. – Poch Suzara Google# Twitter# Facebook#
