Curse the Darkness

It is better to light up a candle than to curse the darkness. For my part, I am working daily to make my surroundings cleaner, healthier, and brighter. I have no need of candles. Poch Suzara

My teachers in La Salle

My teachers in La Salle were not devoted thinkers or passionate researchers of the truth. They were men afraid of new and fresh ideas. My education therefore was not a thrill or a joy, but in fact a threat. Indeed, in school, I was never taught how to think; only what to believe. It was always impressed upon my malleable mind that the frontiers of knowledge are closed. How utterly wrong and pathetic were my teachers in school. But I cried more not my teachers, but for all my classmates and schoolmates. None apparently saw the painful light as I alarmingly did. Poch Suzara

Jesus said

In the bible Jesus said: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Is it any wonder that we do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world? As a matter of fact, we hate the world and hate the things that are in the world, specially as we are faithful Catholics devoted to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Poch Suzara

If you were miserably married

If you were miserably married to your husband, and God had him killed, you would obviously believe that God's grace never ends. Such was the case of Gracie Burnham, whose husband was killed by bandits in a kidnap ordeal in Mindanao. She admitted openly and publicly that: God's grace never ends." Poch Suzara

Nature cares for Man

The universe may go on uncaring and unknowing of the existence of man. But nature cares. After all, man is a product of nature as it proceeds to be conscious of itself. Nature evolves not aimlessly or purposelessly, but precisely meaningfully for nature created the human mind. Poch Suzara

Religious Leaders

Religious leaders such as Mike Velarde of El Shaddai would urge his poor followers to turn their umbrella upside down in order to catch manna from heaven. What the followers do catch, however, is not manna, not even rotten banana, but a lot of tra-la-la behind the silly religious drama. Poch Suzara

My mind is not a terrible thing

My mind is not a terrible thing. On the contrary, my mind is a wonderful thing. It is only terrible when the potentials of my
mind are utterly wasted. Poch Suzara

I care for Happines

I care for happiness in this world. I do not care for happiness in the next world. There ins't any. Whatever the case may be, I hold
as forever true what Bertrand Russell wrote: "Happiness is the nonethelesss true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting. Poch Suzara

Nothing before Birth and Nothing After Death

It does not bother to realize that I have arrived into this world as an atheist. I should be happier when I leave this world one day as an atheist too. Before I was conceived, without a brain, I had no capacity to believe. After I am dead, and my brain dead also, I will again have no capacity to believe. Indeed, if it does not bother me to believe that I was a nothing before I was born, why should it bother me to believe that I will again be a nothing after I am dead? Poch Suzara

I have Nothing Against

I have nothing against Filipino scientists except when they are too timid to speak out openly against false values and silly beliefs that continue to promote not only stupidity but also insanity in our already sick society. Poch Suzara

What is the difference?

What is the difference between human creed and human greed when one destroys the body and the other destroys the mind? Poch Suzara

The Human Brain

If God gifted us with a brain and expect us to use it, how come our knowledge of God have not grown with more knowledge of his creation? Indeed, even the theologians in this day and age know not whether God is a He, a She, and It; or, whether Gid a supernatural Tootie Frootie, or just an Almighty Patootie. Poch Suzara

A silly God

Why would a good God incarnate himself as a man knowing full well that man is essentially sinful by nature? But then again, why would God reveal himself to the theologians knowing full well that theology is not a branch of knowledge; it is but a branch of ignorance and with wings at that. Poch Suzara

Science in brief

Science in brief: - today's up-to-date is tomorrow's out-of-date. Indeed, nothing is definite in science as it's findings are tentative and always subject to change or emendations. Poch Suzara

Philippine Presidents

At the rate all presidents of the Philippines, past and present, have prayed for divine intervention to solve the nation's troubles and problems, Malacanang has been transformed into a cathedral, and no longer a presidential palace. Poch Suzara

Atheists

I have the highest respect, the greatest of admiration, and the deepest affection for the atheists. To begin with, those atheistic friends and atheistic associates of mine are not in Congress. Poch Suzara

Religion and Alzheimer's

Religion is like a disease, exactly like alzheimer's - it destroys the mind. Happily, both evils are curable by science. Poch Suzara

Metaphysics and Religion

Metaphysics and religion are one and the same thing. One is beyond physics and the other beyond reality. It's comforting to believe in either just as long as one does not discover that both metaphysics and religion are based on a lot of unscientific nonsense. Poch Suzara

Jesuit Astronomers

Jesuit astronomers say that astronomy is the study of the universe in order to find God. Apparently, these Jesuit astronomers do not believe that God is here, there, and everywhere. Poch Suzara

Wealthy individuals

There is no such thing as wealthy individuals in the Philippines. Despite their millions, Christianity has stolen away from such wealthy individuals their precious minds and precious hearts.They are just as poor as everyone else in this God-forsaken only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara
