Free Choices

If we do have free will, how come we never had the free choice to choose to be born in another galaxy of which, according to the science of astronomy, more than 100 BILLION galaxies exist out there to choose from. Indeed, there exist far more planets and stars out there than there are grains of sand existing in the all the beaches of the planet earth. Poch Suzara

Daily Prayer

We pray to God to forgive us of our sins; but we also pray to God to “lead us not into temptation.” Perhaps, if we can only pray for the conversion of the devil to go back to the ways of the Lord, we will commit no more sins as there will be no more devil to make a mockery of our daily prayers. In the meantime, tradition, such as prayers, practiced by a people, says absolutely nothing about its veracity, viability, or even its common sensibility. Poch Suzara

The Holy Bible not so Holy

In his AGE OF REASON, Thomas Paine wrote: “ Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.”

For my part, I said it before, I say it again: if you have high hopes in seeing your children grow up intelligent with self-respect and courageous with dignity, keep them away from the stupid priest frightening them to believe and to have faith in the stupid messages written as Revealed Truth in the holy bible.

Separation of Church and Scientific Knowledge

The mind grows healthy with scientific knowledge. Superstition only destroys the mind with fear and ignorance. Superstition therefore is an evil. There should be no room for superstition to exist alongside knowledge as superstition is an evil. It’s the same with the Church. There should be no room for the Church to exist alongside the State. The church is an evil: it not only divides with hate but also keeps people poor, backward, and indeed, un-enlightened, if not frightened. Poch Suzara

The Clash of Civilization

Samuel Huntington wrote: “The Clash of Civilization.” It would have been more accurate had he titled his book “The Clash of Human Ignorance,” or “The Clash of Religious hypocrisy.” Or, “The Clash of the Arms Industries.” Or, “The Clash of Nations under Conflict with American Corporations.” Poch Suzara

Demons and Angels

The only demons that exist are those that lurk inside the reptilian side of the brain: ignorance, hatred, insanity, and faith in divinity. The only angels that exist are those that are inside the mammalian side of the brain: reason, intellectual honesty, love, and indeed, faith in the human capacity. Poch Suzara

Pacificism

Pacificism worked well in India under the atheistic British rule. And yet pacificism failed to work for the non-violent Jews under the theistic Nazis in Germany. It is, I think, the result of what happens when religious morons or “God is with us” gang stands
to defend the works of the Lord as Hitler wrote in his Mein Kampf Poch Suzara

Government Officials

American government officials are exactly like the Philippine government officials: they are installed not by civil service eligibility or by examination, but by fraudulent or worse, by financial arrangement, if not by powerful political connection. It is all about the American style of freedom and democracy in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

The Futility of Coming of Christ

If the Almighty God were omni-present and therefore already present here, already established there, and already situated everywhere on this earth, what’s the purpose of the First Coming and the Second Coming of Christ? Poch Suzara

Jesus Failed as a Prophet

“For I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Matt. 10:34. “For all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” Matt. 26:52. Obviously Jesus failed at his own prophecy. He did not die by the sword. He was crucified on the cross. And crucified by men created in the image and likeness of His Father God. Poch Suzara

Words from Jesus

If Jesus had only enjoyed the comfort of a happy home life with his mom and dad and brothers and sisters, he need not have uttered such meaningless words like: I and my Father are one. John 10:30. I go unto my father: for my father is greater than I. John 14:28. But then again, Jesus was a failure. He failed to ask Man to forgive God for He does not appreciate love and affection within the human family on this earth. Poch Suzara

Shocked

We were all shocked when we saw what the terrorists did to the World Trade Center Twin Towers on 9/11 in New York. But only the few cared to find out what inspired the terrorists to do such a thing. Ah, but how many people are sane enough to realize that we actually live in an insane world as inspired by insane religious businessmen in cahoots with insane politics who continue to inspire the production of weapons for war? Poch Suzara

Progress of Ideas

Unless it is a progress of ideas, progress is destructive. The Entropy Law sees to that: each time order is created, the consequence is eventual disorder. Examples of pollution, of extinct animal species, of eroded landscape – in short – of exhausted resources – are evidences of progress not of ideas, but progress of human stupidity. Poch Suzara

For Christ's Sake

More than six million people, mostly Jews, but also gypsies, political opponents, homosexuals, prisoners of war, and freedom fighters were gassed to death inside crematoriums build throughout Germany generated with the power of faith. In his MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler wrote: “I believe I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jews, I am fighting for the works of
the Lord.” Poch Suzara

Bible Lies

The truth has only one version. Lies have many. Thus, there are 57 different versions of the holy Bible for sale in bookstores today. But there is only one Multiplication Table – the perfect model of truth – free from ignorance and contradictions. In fact, 2 plus 2 equals 4 as a perfect model of truth is not even mentioned in any of the conflicting chapters of the silly bible. In the meantime, here are examples of lies written in the Bible: “I have seen God face to face.” Gen. 32:30. “No man has seen God at any time.” John 1:18. As a matter of fact, what does it really matter whether one has seen God or has not seen God? What will it chang? How will the existence of God make this world a better place to live in? In fact, the existence of God is totally irrelevant, completely useless, if not shamelessly worthless to human affairs. Poch Suzara

The Filipino People

If a people believe that God will always provide; if they believe that Christ will soon return with his Mother of Perpetual Help; if they believe that there is power in prayer behind the coming Savior; and that this life is nothing as compared to the next life in the next world to come with God in heaven - such people can best be described as the Filipino – the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Corruption in the Philippines

Corruption is here, there, and everywhere in the Philippines. It is just like the existence of God present here, present there, and present everywhere. Look, however, at the priesthood industry also omniscient in the Philippines. How they love to support and maintain corruption. Corruption inspires everybody to seek God’s forgiveness of sin and pardon of crime that continue to benefit the priesthood industry. In the meantime, take a look at their already mind-boggling wealth deposited in the Vatican Bank. Poch Suzara

We Love only God Up There

Look at how we all love God up there, by hating one another down here. Consider how in this only Catholic country in Asia we Filipinos have no trust in God. Well, I said it before, I say it again: As soon as God-fearing security guards need no longer be employed to assist our God-fearing policemen to help secure and protect the wealth of our God-fearing church officials and their God-fearing partners in commerce and their God-fearing associates; not to mention our God-fearing government buildings, hospitals, banks, schools, colleges, universities, shopping malls, commercial and residential buildings, expensive residential villages, movie theaters, restaurants, churches, and cathedrals, public parks, museums, including the building of the National Bureau of Investigation - I believe we can begin to trust God in this only Catholic country in Asia.

Pope John Paul 11

Pope John Paul 11 fell ill and immediately rushed to the hospital to take advantage of the power of medical science. Nobody, however, thought of rushing the Head of the Catholic Church to a Cathedral to take advantage of the power of prayer. Poch Suzara

Silly Sinners

Silly sinners have yet to grasp the real nature of the Revealed Truth that has yet to be revealed: - behind the Original Sin was the powerful Original Creator. Poch Suzara
