Poverty-stricken Filipinos

Millions of poverty-stricken Filipinos love, worship, and adore God who, we are told, has been and still is well-established in his eternal state of divine perfection. I should think, however, that aside from a good will, God might also, with the help of His own free will, duly reciprocate the Filipino affection. Poch Suzara

Religious people

Religious People turn to religion because, according to them, science has dismally failed to answer all of their fundamental questions. If religion, however, has been and still under the inspiration of all-knowing God, why should religious people bother with science in the first place? Poch Suzara

If you were already confused

If you were already confused and want to enjoy even more confusion, read the bible. It has yet to be clear, for example, as to where exactly Jesus Christ was crucified n a cross or whether he was hang on a tree. In Matt. 23:33 Jesus was crucified on a cross in Golgotha. In Acts 5:30 Jesus was hang on a tree. In Revelation 11:18 Jesus was also crucified in Sodom and Egypt. Poch Suzara

I believe in Free Will

Of course I believe in free Will. I have to. I have no other choice as I am even stuck with it. In the meantime, for me to believe that I can control the flow of blood inside my veins is just as ludicrous for me to believe that I can also control the flow of beliefs inside my head. Poch Suzara

The All-knowing God

If the Christian God were all-knowing, how come the Christian theologians do not know all the answers? And worse, how come in the Christian community everybody lives in fear of the unknown? Poch Suzara

The American Power

In order to prove to the world that the USA is the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world, the American government would search not for friendly nations, but search only for enemies to destroy with its wealth and military power. Poch Suzara

God Proud of Man

In the Old Testament, God repented that He had made man because man was wicked and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil (Genesis 6:5-6). In the New testament, as man crucified His only begotten Son on the cross, God again must duly have repented that He had made man. Ever since then however, as the Christians and the Jews and the Muslims have not ceased to hate and kill each other in God's name, how could God not be so happy and not be so proud to have made man on this earth? Poch Suzara

I envy the Animals

I envy the animals. They do not have to go to school to learn how to love, worship and adore God. They do not have to learn how to be greedy, selfish, stupid and insane. But I envy animals even more because I do not see them in church praying to God for the forgiveness of their sins and crimes. Exactly what our politicians and theologians do every Sunday in church.

Weird Things to Believe

If people believe in weird things, it is only because they have not been taught HOW to think; only WHAT to believe. Poch Suzara

A Good Society

A good society must be progressive. It must lead on to better values and better beliefs. Indeed, progress is utterly worthless unless it means progress in the scientific way of thinking where, in our ever changing world, questions become far more valuable than the answers.

Mess in our World

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have not ceased making a mess of our world. Each of this great religions have not ceased promoting hate of the other; hate of this life; and hate of this world. Indeed, we live in a sick world because of sick beliefs and sick values. Throw all these sacred nonsense out the window and with the help of science, we can have all the opportunity to transform this world, our world - into
an earthly paradise. In the meantime, it is often ask: can science and religion merge? I say Yes, they can; but before the merger can seriously take place, religion must first merge with other religions. The Christians, Muslims, and the Jews have not ceased cutting each other’s throats because, to begin with, they cannot religiously agree as to what will happen to them after their stupid throats are cut. Poch Suzara

Mad World

I was created into this mad world not of my own making; and the theologians have the gall to tell me that I must be grateful to my creator for having gifted me born with a free will. But Billions upon billions of people before me have also been born with a free will, and so, what kind of religious bunkum are the theologians saying to me? Poch Suzara

Science is True only

People tell me that "science" is only true in its own way. "Theology" could just as readily be "true" in another. Unfortunately in the subject of theology, there is room for confusion. In science, the search for clarity and consistency is never a delusion. Poch Suzara

The Wisdom of the Wise

From genesis in the Old Testament up to revelation in the New Testament including all the way up to our age of science and technology, God has not ceased still trying hard to deliver the promise that he had made for mankind since Adam and Eve: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." (Corinthians 1:19) No wonder Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have been among the best and the greatest of religions in the eyes of God Almighty. Poch Suzara

The Man of Faith

The man of faith cripples reason. This a lesser evil. The greater evil, however, is that the man of faith is like a drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support; not illumination. Poch Suzara

People Believe

People believe in weird things and wrongly so only because they have not been taught HOW to think, only taught WHAT to believe. Poch Suzara

Dirty politics and Dirty Religion

Dirty politics is just like dirty religion: both are generated by dirty lies. In this connection we should rather embrace science, especially the scientific way of thinking. Its values are based on the search of the truth while it debunks on the side religious lies as well as political lies. Poch Suzara

Afraid to Live

Not to be aware, involved, interested, concerned, and indeed not to live amount to exactly the same thing. In the meantime, those who are afraid to die, sadly, are also afraid to live. Poch Suzara

Life's Meaning

Life's meaning, if any, must found not outside, but inside one's self; just as much as there are billions of galaxies out there, the meaning of the world lies not outside, but inside our world. What is the purpose of meaning if it were not graspable inside our own minds and hearts? Poch Suzara

Sin brings Fear

"Sin brings fear, but confession brings freedom." Indeed, the freedom to commit more sins. Under this vicious circle, however, instead of assiduity behind rationality, only more daily stupidity. Poch Suzara
