Sex, the Bible, and Bertrand Russell
Motherhood is an offense against God, if the baby is a girl. Lev. 12: 1-5
Eunuchs and virgins are superior to father and mothers, according to the New Testament. Jesus: “There be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. Matt. 19:10-12
The doctrine of the Virgin Birth brands every natural mother as impure. Though Mary got pregnant by God while she was still married to Joseph.
The so-called Word of God says ( Paul speaking, 1 Cor. 7:1 ): “It is good for a man not to touch a women.” So birth control or family planning is not a sin after all.
1 Cor. 7 is a course dissertation on marriage.
Jesus and Paul preached asceticism – renunciation of the world and its pleasures for a problematical hereafter. They suffered from the failure of guts. The refused to face the realities of life.
There are in heaven 144,000 virgin men whom woman has never “defiled.” Rev. 14:1-4 sex is insane. Probably written by an impotent saint.
Jesus preached no divorce. Mark 10:2-12 and Luke 16:18. This anti-sociaL teaching has been repudiated by every American state, except the most backward of nations like the Philippines.
All the men of the Old Testament were polygamists, and Christ and Paul, the central figures of the New Testament, were celibates, and condemned marriage by both precept and example.
Modern prophylaxis and conception control information have revolutionized sex relations, robbing them of terror and fear. The tribal taboos embedded in the bible may be safely abandoned. Let’s be guided by reason rather than by faith or tradition.
Genesis 2:16: “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children.” When a Christian hears a women screaming with pain in childbirth, he reflects that God is getting even with Eve for eating an apple.
For my part, I would take any day or night the sexual views of Bertrand Russell as more sane and healthy. Russell saw thru the cruel state of affairs as regards the sexual relationship between men and women: In his MARRIAGE AND MORALS, Russell wrote: “The doctrine that there is something sinful about sex is one which has done untold harm to individual character – a harm beginning in early childhood and continuing throughout life. By keeping sex love in a prison, conventional morality has done much to imprison all other forms of friendly feelings, and to make men less generous, less kindly, more assertive and more cruel. Whatever sexual ethics may come to be ultimately accepted must be free from superstition and must have recognizable and demonstrable grounds in its favor.” Poch Suzara
Sick Kind of Love From Jesus For Filipinos as the Sick Man of Asia
Here’s love, peace on earth, and goodwill to all men, women, and children from Jesus Christ – the Prince of Peace – the God of Love – the loving Savior of Mankind, specially of Filipinos as the Sick Man of Asia:
Matt. 8:21-22 “And another of His disciple said unto Him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury the dead.
Matt. 10:34-35 “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword,” “For I am come to set a
Man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother.” Matt. 19:29 “And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Mark 10:29-30 “There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s. But he shall receive a hundredfold now in time… with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.” Mark 13:12 “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.” Luke 12:51-53 :Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. For from henceforth there shall be five to one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother…” Luke 14:26 “ If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33 “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not that all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 19:27 “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” St John 12:25-25 “He that loveth his life shall lose it; he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal; . . . If any man serve me, him will my father honor.” No wonder Jesus got crucified on the cross by his own brothers and sisters created in His own image and likeness. But then again, who was crucified on the cross? If it was God, why would God cry out” “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” If it was a man on the cross, what right had he to cry out: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Luke 22:34. Again, Jesus in the bible, prays to: “God, the Father.” Yet, Father and Son and the Holy Spirit are one and the same person according to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. In fact, Jesus admitted that “I and my father are one.” John 10:30. If Jesus could pray to Himself, wasn’t it rather silly that as a God Himself, he could not answer his own prayer? This was 2,000 years ago. Today in the 21st century, I am told that an ANTI-CHRIST movement is on the rise in Europe. But Christ was not born in Europe, he was born in Israel that today is not a Christian, but a Jewish State. How come the Anti-Christ movement in Israel, the land where Christ was born, has been quite a success? Poch Suzara

The Kingdom of the Lord
If the Kingdom of the Lord down here on earth has been a history of hate, violence, and war, what nust be the Kingdom of the Lord up there in heaven? In the meantime, hate, violence, and war have always been the first and last refuge of nations whose motto is:
"In God We trust." Poch Suzara

The Miracles from Jesus
Jesus cured leprosy, made the blind see, the deft hear, the lame walk, and indeed he could even raise the dead back to life. If Jesus, however, had only the deeper sense to remedy the sick mess by making not diseases, but made instead health contagious - there would exist no atheist like me in the world today. Poch Suzara
Jesus and the Truth
If Jesus had only told the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth as to when exactly He will be coming back to earth, especially to the Philippines, He need not have admitted to the multitude such foolish claims like: "I am the way, the life, and the truth."
Oh well, what can we expect of the Jewish Savior who also said, especially to Filipinos, that we need not worry or even take thought of tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself. Besides, as the Sick Man of Asia in this already 21st century - God will always provide! Poch Suzara

I Hate crowd
As a little boy, I always hated to be in a crowd. I hated to be inside a classroom, a church, a movie theatre, auditorium, etc. I also hated to be with the crowd visiting dead relatives in the crowded cemetery. As more than 100 billion people have already lived and died on this planet, I wlll surely hate the crowd if I end up to be in heaven; or, as the case may be, in hell. It is not possible to enjoy the joys of thought if one were always stuck in a thoughtless, if not mindless - crowd. Poch Suzara
Knowledge
Any knowledge than can stand improvement is clearly not a form of knowledge that is complete, perfect and infalible. Such is not the case with the multiplication table. Bertrand Russell wrote: "The perfect model of truth is the multiplication table, which is precise and certain and free from all temporal dross." Poch Suzara
I Love Bertrand Russell
I love Bertrand Russell. He had the extra ordinary ability to formulate beliefs and assemble evidence for and against them. He also turned Ancient and Catholic philosophy into Modern philosophy. He did the same thing with logic. Now I am neither a mathematician nor a logician, but experts tell me that Russell turned logic inside out and turned mathematics upside down as he succeeded to mathematized logic and logicized mathematics. But I love Bertrand Russell for an even greater reason. He rescued me away from the road to self-destruction by helping me recapture the most priceless treasure stolen away from me when I was a little boy in school - my precious mind. Poch Suzara
The Search for happiness
For a great many painful years I searched desperately for happiness. I traveled in many countries in Southeast Asia and in the Far East. By the time I found happiness, much to my surprise, I found something even greater: - I found myself. The Greek thinker Socrates said it in brief: "The unexamined life is not worth living for man."

Sick Sex maniac
Genesis 19:32 must have been written by a sick sex maniac as inspired by the devil: "Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we shall lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father." Poch Suzara
Avoid Temptation
To avoid being tempted by the forbidden fruit, stay away from the Devil's orchard. Now isn't this suggestion rather silly? Who created the forbidden fruit and the devil and the orchard to begin with? Poch Suzara
he Master Architect
If the universe had to be designed by a Master Architect, it follows that the Master Architect himself must have been an even more complex a design than his creation. Now who or what designed God? In the meantime, the concept of God did not come from God, it came from human ignorance. Now isn't it rather silly to have faith in human ignorance? Indeed, if the concept of God came from God so should have been also moral values and people everywhere would believe in the same things. There could never be any dispute as to what is right or wrong. There would be no need for laws, policemen, courts, army, navy, or air force. But the history of the world has the the history of conflicts between moral values! Poch Suzara
Roots of Terrorism
The basic roots of terrorism are mostly derived from religious beliefs. Be it the religious beliefs of the Christians, the Muslims, or the Jews. To begin with, religious beliefs never fail to inspire the hate of each other's religious beliefs, specially in God's name on earth and for His glory in heaven. Poch Suzara
As a Little Boy
As a little boy in a Catholic school, I was taught to believe that my existence is a defect and that the most I could do to please God was to seek not recontruction, but only obliteration. I ask: can honest men and decent women today blame me for walking out of the Catholic church? Poch Suzara
The Cellphone
The power of science, logic and mathematics produced the cellphone. Yet, millions of people use the cellphone to promote bible reading - a book that has nothing at all to say about the power of science, logic and mathematics. Poch Suzara
Reduced freedom
If you believe in something, and you autmatically exclude yourself from believing the exact opposite, a few degrees of your priceless freedom have been needlessly reduced. Poch Suzara
The Summit
The summit of all joys is the joy of courage - facing the fact that nature will strike me dead one day; but that I shall die standing up sober, and not kneeling down drunk with lies. Poch Suzara
The Power of Reason
Neither virtue nor values or principles can be derived from blind faith. Such beauties can only be the outcome of the power of reason. Poch Suzara

Lee Kwan Yew
Lee Kwan Yew - the Prime Minister of Singapore was not born-raised-educated as a Christian, He was never inspired by the Word of God as written in the holy bible. Yet with sheer guts, intelligence, and discipline, he was able to transform Singapore from a hell of a place into an Asian paradise. How come our own Philippine government officials, who are all born-raised-educated as Christians, all inspired by God, are all corrupt and if they are good, they are only good for nothing? Poch Suzara
The Priesthood Industry
The church hates reason. It only loves faith; especially blind faith. Indeed, the priesthood industry behind the church could not have survived these past centuries with support from the power of reason. The support came only from blind faith. Poch Suzara
