The Ultimate Question

The ultimate question, the one that lurks behind all other question is: “Why is there something rather than nothing? It is, indeed, a thrill to know that the main business of science is to deal with that something. It is, however, a threat to know that the main business of religion is to handle the nothing part of that something. Poch Suzara

Science

Science is the only discipline that has reduced the mysteries of religion into nothing but trivialities. In the meantime, if God’s wisdom were beyond human understanding, it follows that there is no one, not even scientists who can claim to know anything about God’s wisdom. Happily, scientists make no such silly claims. In fact, in the scientific community, there is so much lively disagreement as the latest change needed to refine the scientiic enterprise. Poch Suzara

Nothing Is Impossible

Nothing is impossible? Perhaps it is more accurate to admit that the impossible, as far as it goes, is as yet a nothing. Poch Suzara

As a Little Boy

As a little boy at home and in school I prayed often to God to please destroy the devil once and for all. In this way, I will stop praying to God to lead me no more into temptation so that I will commit no more sins. Sadly, God never answered my prayers. Can any one blame me for being a happy and a proud atheist today? Poch Suzara

Our powerful God

Thanks to the powerful prayer to our powerful God during these past centuries the results have been powerful too. We are today the most powerful loser as a people and the most powerful failure as a nation in this only Christian country in Asia today. Golly, in this 21st century, we continue to pray daily to God to give us this day our daily bread and to lead us not into temptation. Poch Suzara

A natiion of Prayers

I ask: how can we become a nation of readers if, on the whole, we lack the basic necessities of life - food, clothing, and especially shelter? Such is the situation in the Philippines. In this the only Christian country in Asia, however, we have no cause for alarm. After all, we would rather be a nation of prayers. Poch Suzara

Non-Reading Filipino

There are, indeed, millions of Filipinos who are holders of college degrees. It is easy to tell who they are. They all have something in common. They hate to read books. In fact, ask any Filipino employed in the government or is in business for himself in the private sector, they will proudly admit that praying daily to God is much more beneficial, more reliable than reading books.

Having Your Own Mind

Among the wealthiest individuals I have met are those who are in possession of most priceless treasure on this earth: a mind of their own. In this country, prove to the authority of both State and Church that you are willing to be mindless for the rest of your life and you are awarded a college diploma. Poch Suzara

The Truth as Discovered

I hate the theologians. They invent the truth. I love instead the scientists. They discover the truth. Scientists are even honest enough to admit that there are more truths to be discovered. Of course there are exceptions. The scientists together with the college professors who sell their talents and abilities for money to the Military-Industrial-University Complex in the United States of America. I have no respect for such dangerous men who makes a mockery of science. Poch Suzara

Two Great Americans

As far as I am aware, there are only two great Americans that I admire these days: Michael Moore and Ramsey Clark. Both men, in their respective fields, have not ceased telling the world that the United States government at present is headed by a homicidal maniac. If Bertrand Russell were alive today, he would, in the name of humanity, embrace these two courageous Americans with love and respect, and friendship. And to think that in the United States today, there exists a Bertrand Russell Society. Nobody, however, anywhere in the world hears of them, or from them, or even about them. Bertrand Russell himself, in his own lifetime, was consistently outspoken in the global arena against homicidal maniacs as head of government that’s keeping the human race hungry for peace on earth and starving for goodwill to all men, women, and children.

You Can Play

You can play all kinds of indoor or outdoor games: golf, basketball, football, tennis, poker, scrabble, and even play with yourself. But you must never ever play with your mind; especially if you ain't got any. Poch Suzara

The Power of the Press

The power of the press is derived from human igorance. Just exactly like the power of God. Poch suzara

Diseases

Prayers and creeds are diseases of the free will. Whatever the case may be, for centuries, not health, but diseases have always supported the life of the church. Look at its churches and cathedrals. They are monuments of another diseases called human stupidity. Poch suzara

The Religious People

Religious people tell me that as an atheist I am like a blind man going inside a dark room looking black cat that is not there. I am most happy to report that at least the religious people who are even more blind than I am, have. at least, found the cat. Poch Suzara

Anti-Christ Movementt in the Land where Jesus was Born

Jesus Christ was not born in Europe. He was born in Israel that today is not a Christian, but still is a Jewish State. The Anti-Christ movement in Europe seems utterly ridiculous as compared to the anti-Christ movement in Israel which has long been quite a success. The Jews are still Jewish. During these past 2,000 years, the Jews have never been converted into being Christians or Catholics like the Filipinos have been successfully converted since the 16th century. The term anti-Christ refers to those who deny the divinity of Jesus Christ. Who deny His Gospel as truth. Who deny Jesus and his teachings. Well, if that were so, it follows that there are many more anti-Christ people existing in Israel than anywhere else in the world. Israel, the land where Jesus was born during the 1st century, never got to be converted into a Christian or into a Catholic country. It is still a Jewish State. What could be more anti-Christ than that in this already 21st century? Listen, however, to this famous Filipino columnist - Chief Justice Antonio V. Panganiban. In the Daily Inquirer today, March 2, 2014, he writes: "As I contemplate my life and move toward the sunset, I know that God has woven my many pains and gains into a magnificent tapestry showing His mystical presence. Truly, there is one constancy in my life: the presence, care and providence of our Lord Jesus Christ. To Him, I dedicate all I was, all I am, and all I will ever be." In the meantime, I say to Chief Justice Antonio V. Panganiban, Sir: you sound exactly like the rotten and corrupt politicians always installed in our government - all of them college-educated. All of them MAKA-JESUS. Indeed, in this only Christian country in Asia, there is always Jesus, sweet Jesus, who is always out to forgive all of our stupid sins as a people, and to forgive all of our stupid crimes as a nation. Historian Teodoro A. Agoncillo, in his HISTORY OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE, wrote: "Self-deception is the worst tragedy of the Filipinos as a people." I say it again: Self-deception comes only from a sick system of education that teach millions of us Filipinos to be faithful and proud to endlessly enjoy poverty in our country; specially, poverty of the worst kind - the poverty of the mind and heart...

Again

Again, another storm hit the Philippines. Again, more death and destruction this year than it was last year. Again, in order to remedy the situation only more prayers and so things are just getting worse. Again, we all have the courage to blame Mother Nature, but hardly have we also the courage to blame the original Creator of Mother Nature. Poch Suzara

Philippine Education

Schools, colleges and universities in the Philippines are doing its very best in the business of multiplying more educated losers and educated failures that's keeping the Filipino poor as a people and backward as a nation.Indeed, education in the Philippines has more to do with love for divinity rather than love of country for the sake of common humanity. With college degrees, we Filipinos are not only looking for a better job to come in a foreign country, but also a better life to come in the next world. Poch Suzara

Filipino Bible Scholars

Filipino bible scholars often tell me to stop reading the bible for myself. I should only attend bible study if I should wish to understand fully what's written in the bible. Are they admitting that the bible is not a public book written by inspired authors of God, but a private book written only by Jewish authors. Poch Suzara

If Only Christians

If only Christians would only take the bible seriously by reading it seriously for themselves, they might learn that raising the dead back to life was alrady a common practice in the Old Testament. Raising the dead back to life therefore was no unique miracle from Jesus in the New Testament. For my part, I could not care less about having lost my faith in Jesus. What thrilled me the most was having gained the courage of reason to begin my joyous search for the truth - the world's most noblest of profession. Poch Suzara

Faith in Jesus

Bertrand Russell wrote: "The whole idea of throwing away your life blindly as an imagined service to Christ is a form of glorifying masochism and self-abasement before power." For my part, If christ on the cross had only asked not God to forgive man, but asked instead Man to forgive God - I never would have abandoned my faith in Jesus. Moreover, I certainly still would have the highest respect and greatest admiration of Him as the Son of God. Poch Suzara
