What Keeps Me Going
What keeps me going in life. My failures. After all, success is what most non-thinkers settle for since they cannot think of something noble enough to be failing at. Bertrand Russell also keeps me going. The spirit of Bertrand Russell is more than enough to feed my guts. Poch Suzara
History
History teaches that all the great religions of the world were established with the aid of fear, ignorance, and lies preached by morons who had the effrontery to style themselves as ministers of divinity so that you, dear believer, will embrace nothing in life except your own timidity.
The Holy Bible
Whenever I see a holy bible displayed in a book shelf in a home, I know that book has not been thoroughly read at all. A properly read bible belongs in a garbage dump. No other book has done more harm to the human mind and to the human heart, indeed, more harm done to a whole country like the Philippines than the contradictions, inconsistencies, obscenities, cruelties, atrocities, and absurdities found written in the holy Bible by inspired authors of God.

The Search For The Truth
In the search of the truth, what counts is not the truth, but the search of it. Paradoxically enough, if we ever find the truth, there will be no more reason for any of us to go on living. As it is, the search of the truth is what the meaning of life should be all about. I am fully aware, however, that those of you who have acquired higher education or gifted with higher I.Q. have the same sentiment as I do over finding this brightest of light existing somewhere out there or down here known as the truth.

Imagine your Sons and Daughters
Imagine your children, your own sons and daughters, hating and killing each other over silly beliefs. Now imagine God with His own children, his own sons and daughters, hating and killing each other over silly beliefs. These children, these sons and daughters, are called Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Poch Suzara
The fugitives
The fugitives from justice are not as dangerous as those fugitives from reason. They are the active participants always playing in our national sport: - always jumping into conclusion by running away from reality. Oh yes, you will find them as men and women behind our government, behind our church, and indeed, behind our schools, colleges, and universities. Poch Suzara
My Own beliefs, if any
My own beliefs are not immutable; in fact, mutable - subject to change or emendation. Indeed, my beliefs are tentative; never definite. My critics are all welcome to tear my beliefs apart. If my logic fails me, I will make the necessary changes or, if need be, I will abandon my beliefs.In the ultimate analysis, I do not care to know whether my beliefs are right or wrong; what's important is if my beliefs were on the road toward the truth. Poch Suzara
If God were all-knowng
If God were all-knowing, how come his theologians were not also all-knowing? The study of theology during the first century is still the same study of theology in this century: - the study of nothing. Poch Suzara
My Parents
My parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents wasted precious years of their lives waiting for the Second Coming of Christ. Indeed, Even the rest of my relatives who already died were all victims rather than the master of their religious faith. Poch Suzara
God's Son
God knows we have our own sons to love and yet he asked us to love only His son Jesus. This is no family unity.This is family stupidity inspired by religious insanity. In the meantime, what happened to God's daughter? Has He not any? Poch Suzara

If God Had Neither
If God had neither a beginning nor an end, that means He has been existing for more than 800,000,000 years. If I live to be 80 years it would mean that I would have lived just a fraction of a second long in comparison to God's endless existence. And I am able offend God with a thing called "original sin?" If this were true, should I not be most proud of such an accomplishment? Imagine me, able to grasp lightning away from God's hand, and I was able to hurt his feelings?
Jazz Drummer
I may be a cerebral maverick, an extreme intellectual radical, and an atheist; but I also happen to be a decent jazz drummer. And man, if you don't know what jazz is, keep the hell away from it. Poch Suzara

Sell Sacred Lies
Do you want to be hated and a nobody in life? Sell or be a truth-seeker. Do you, however, want to be successful, rich, and famous? Sell sacred lies and silly falsehoods. Thus, among the men who are filthy rich in our sick society are the church ministers, owners of schools, colleges, and universities, TV evangelists, bible preachers, the theologians and the politicians. Poch Suzara
Why Something
Why something rather than nothing? Indeed, at the heart of reality is not an answer, but a question; and if we refuse to value questions, we will end up fearing nothing instead of loving something. Poch Suzara

On Christianity
In this country, owing to Christianity, that has kept us out of science and technology, the most we can be proud of is our individual insanity that has already culminated to social insanity. Indeed, thanks to our Christian values and beliefs, we all love God up there by hating one another down here. Poch Suzara
Intelligent Discussion
What danger is there from an intelligent discussion or intelligent inquiry or from intelligent reading? The worst that can happen to you is that you will be on the road with a mind moving not on hinges, but on wheels. Poch Suzara
Revealed Truths
God may have revealed the truth to Moses in the Old Testament; and may have revealed the truth to Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John in the New Testament. But until God reveals the truth to me, I do not care to participate in the Christian scheme of hand me down used information. Indeed, revelation is a direct communication; it has nothing to do with second-hand or third-hand information. Poch Suzara
Leave the school alone
Religion and politics should get out of schools and schools should get out of politics and religion. Schools should be about nothing but the development of the scientific habit of mind. Poch Suzara
God-inspired Authors
The God-inspired authors of the bible were a sorry lot. They had no access to a microscope to write anything truthful about the smaller realities of life down here. They also had no access to a telescope to write anything truthful about the larger realities of life out there. All they had access to was horoscope to inspire them write anything truthful yet to be revealed to each and every one of us not as a second or third hand information, but direct revelation. Poch Suzara
Unworthy God
What kind of a God is that who creates faulty human beings and then blames them for their fault? It is even called "original sin." But what could be more original than the original creator? In the meantime, if men were such little devils in the eyes of God, why did God create man in of his own image and likeness? For my part, such a creator is worthy of neither love, respect, nor devotion. Poch Suzara
