Research

Research involves entertaining more ideas about a fact; involves more questions than answers. After all, in time, the answers become obsolete. There is no end to research especially that of the truth. Poch suzara

What Does it Matter

Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour the Lord is coming. Matt. 24:42. Well, after 2,000 years or 730,000 days or 17,520,000 hours of waiting, not to mention the billions upon billions of people who have already lived and died on this earth, what does it matter now if the Lord does not arrive at all?

Feed Your Doubt

Instead of feeding your faith by starving your doubt, what is more beneficial is to starve your faith by feeding your doubt. Doubt, not faith, generates the power of reason behind the power of knowledge. Poch Suzara

Distinctive Human Quality

The most distinctive of human quality is the need to find out, the need to know, and the need to understand. It is exactly what science and the scientific way of thinking are all about. Poch Suzara

According to Science

According to science, there exist about 20 billion different kinds of bacteria, germs, and viruses inside my body eating up my vital organs for their breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These little creatures will eventually kill me oneday. In the meantime, for me to believe that my body is a temple of God is pure hokum, if not adulterated bunkum. Poch Suzara

Catholic Doctrne

According to a Catholic doctrine Free Will is God's greatest gift to man; and yet, in Catholic schools, the first thing that's destroyed is free will.This is by way of obedience to authority; amen to hierarchy; and submit always to divinity via Catholic theology. As matter of fact, the greatest gift of nature to man is not his free will, but his free mind. At any rate, instead of free will, let's have, instead, for one another - the good will. Poch Suzara

We Honor God

We honor God our father when we live like his son! This is pure hokum! Who wants to live like a Jew if one were born a Filipino in the Philippines? Moreover, whatever happened to honoring our own father and grandfathers and great-grandfathers. We are more related to them by blood than we are related to a Son of God. Poch Suzara

To Find Your Find

To find your way through life follow Jesus? This is the same Jesus who preached that unless you behave like a child, you will never enter the kngdom of God. Poch Suzara

Peace On Earth

If you want peace on earth and goodwill to all men you must kill not the believers, but kill his stupid religion. After all, believers of religions have not ceased killimg each other in God's name and for his glory. Poch suzara

Evil of religion

An evil can never be isolated because evils are all closely related to each other. Take the evil of religion. It could never have existed without the evil of fear that gave birth to the evil of ignorance which in turn gave birth to the evil named Satan who gave birth to the evils of hate and war among the Jewish, Christian, and the Muslim religion.

Jesus Died On The Cross

Jesus died on the cross to save mankind from sin. It does not matter who killed him. What's important is that the Jews in cahoots with the Romans did play their role in getting him crucified on the cross. Otherwise, Jesus would not have accomplished his mission to destroy the devil. I say, the Jews and the Romans should be given postumously an academy award for their excellent performance. Of course this award will only make sense as soon as Jesus finally saves the world. It is still in a mess. Thanks to the existence of the devil whom Jesus utterly failed to destroy. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell

In his long career Bertrand Russell touched little which he has not upset. For example, as a mathematician, he turned mathematics upside down. As a logician, he turned logic inside out. As a philosopher, he frankly admitted that he had not found the truth though he devoted seventy years of his life in search of it. For my part, I have learned to love and respect Bertrand Russell because, among other things, he was also a sceptic, rationalist, defender of scientific rationalism, and he certainly inspired in me to hate war and the H-Bomb. Russell once admitted that: "No one is perfect, and we should never be bothered by the fact that we are not perfect." Hell, I didn't know it then; but that's exactly what I tried to impart to my teachers then in school at De La Salle college. And to prove I was wrong, they all agreed to have me expelled out high-school. Poch Suzara

History and Philosophy

History is written not by the losers, but by the winners in war or conquest. It proves that winners can be liars too. There are perhaps exceptions. For example, the historians of philosophy. They have no motive to withhold the truth since in philosophy no philosopher has yet to discover the truth. Poch Suzara

Jesus Could Violate

Jesus could violate natural laws. However, since he was so engrossed with his power to perform miracles, he totally forgot to perform the one and only miracle that could have made Christrianity the one and only religion in the world today. Jesus could have made not diseases, but only health contagious. Poch Suzara

Three Things

Three things - contemplation with joy, reverence, and a sense of decency seem essential to constitute any of the higher forms of admiration. I should know since I have the greatest admiration for Bertrand Russell. Poch Suzara

In the Modern World

In the modern world of science and the scientific way of thinking, anything recognizable as Christianity has become extinct except in the Philippines - the biggest Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara

Contrary

Contrary to the basic assumptions of our times, it is not material circumstances that shape our lives, but human consciousness. Since we hardly have any, thanks to our obsolete system of education, and except for our great accomplishment in corruption as a way of life, we continue to live empty, if not broken lives accomplishing nothing as a people or even going anywhere as a nation. Poch Suzara

In My Search For the Truth

In my search for the truth, I discovered this truth from Bertrand Russell: "Almost all the progress in the world from ancient times is attributable to science and the scientific temper; almost all the major ills are attributable to religion." I entirely agree. Poch Suzara

What is so Saintly

What is so saintly about turning the other cheek, if one knows that each time he does so, he is piling up greater heavenly rewards, while the one who strikes is earning his rewards in hell? In the meantime, there were those frowning and those smiling among the dead whom Jesus raised back to life. Those frowning back to life were already enjoying eternal salvation in heaven, and those smiling back to life were already those suffering eternal damnation in hell. As the song goes: "what's going on?" Poch Suzara

There is only one Teacher

There is only one teacher that I have learned to love and respect: Bertrand Russell. He never said to me: "Do this, because if you do not, I will give you failing grades." The exact words my Catholic teachers often said to me when I was a little boy acquiring a so-called "education" at La Salle grade school and high school. Poch Suzara
