Is Christianity A Failure
The failure of Christianity is symbolized in the statue of Christ crucified on the cross. Indeed, If his mission on earth to save man were a success, statues of the Risen Christ would be colorfully displayed everywhere in the Christian world. But then again, what was the purpose of dying on the cross when Christ possessed the miraculous power to resurrect Himself back to life? Moreover, after he resurrected, why did He surreptitiously appear only to His apostles, and not to the public at large among whom were those who had Him crucified – the unbelievers of the faith – the Jews!

Possible With God
Is it possible for God to commit suicide? No, because suicide is a mortal sin and God killing Himself might end up in hell. But then again, God in hell is not such a big of a deal. His theologians have always claimed that God is everywhere anyway. Poch Suzara
Bertrand Russell and Fidel Castro
I love and respect Bertrand Russell of England. I also have the greatest admiration for Fidel Castro of Cuba. Both gentlemen have had the honor of frightening the United States government. Russell with the power of philosophy promoting pacficism. Castro with the power to go against the American economy for the sake of communism. Such great men are indeed a rarity in our world of global militarism protecting neither liberty nor democracy, but only crass commercialism. Poch Suzara
Religious People
Imagine the religious people of this world. They would rather hope after death to meet not their ancestors, but look forward only to meeting an invisible creator called “God.” The same God in the bible who defined Himself as “I am who I am.” For my part, if there is life after death, I look forward to be with my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents once again. Specifically, I would like to meet and be with my maternal great-grandmother Lola Titay. While I was a little boy, I remember her often taking me not to church to pray, but to places like the Santa Ana Race Tracks in Manila to play the horses. I also remember we would always stop to smell flowers along the way home. I never knew it then, but I think she was an atheist. If indeed, I will ever see her again in the next life – I will embrace her as one of my most loveliest and kindness of relatives. Poch Suzara
The Kindness of God
During ancient times, God had the kindness to send an angel to console and to assist a Jewish pregnant girl. In this modern times, however, he continues to ignore the millions of mothers and their children struggling to survive daily in the slums of the major cities in the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara
What If
What if, after death and in heaven, we find, surprisingly, that God turned to be a Filipino? Shall we still be able to love, worship, and adore Him? No, of course not. Everybody knows God is a Jew. He is not even an Arab. How can God be a Filipino? As a matter of fact, according to the bible, God made not man, but made only the Jews – in His own image and likeness. Poch Suzara
Misery and Democracy
Christianity has survived during these past centuries because it insured for herself what precisely it feeds on – human misery. Indeed, Christianity has always had a vested interest in human misery. Of course, it is not called misery. It is more popularly known as “sacrifice.” Nevertheless, misery is best defined as a state of chronic suffering and unhappiness. Christianity has even made a mockery of our democracy by seeing to it that we Filipinos continue to be under a theocracy and therefore, in the here and now, to live in misery and indeed, in poverty both spiritually and morally. And the most effective way to maintain these horrors is to see to it that there is no such thing as government education sponsoring family planning and birth control measures practice in our democracy as blessed by Catholic theocracy.

I Am Often Ask
I am often asked why am I angry with divinity. I continue to reply that: “I am not only angry at divinity, but also angry at human stupidity as inspired by traditional theology.” As a little boy in school, I was taught to believe that “anger” is one of the seven deadly sins. I vehemently disagreed. Specially as my teachers could get angry at me but I could not get angry at them for teaching me not how to think; only what to believe; especially to believe in a lot of holy garbage such as a foreigner, a Jewish fellow born in a foreign land some 2,000 years ago is the Savior of the Filipinos in the Philippines.

Hitler's Christianity
Hitler's Christianity
To deny the influence of Christianity on Hitler and its role in World War II, means that you must ignore history and forever bar yourself from understanding the source of German anti-Semitism and how the WW2 atrocities occurred.
By using historical evidence of Hitler's and his henchmen's own words, this section aims to show how mixing religion with politics can cause conflicts, not only against religion but against government and its people.
Hitler wrote: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.." As a boy, Hitler attended to the Catholic church and experienced the anti-Semitic attitude of his culture. In his book, Mein Kampf, Hitler reveals himself as a fanatical believer in God and country. Seig Heil! Praise the Lord!

God Almighty Insecured
If ye walk contrary unto me, and will not harken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. I will send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate. Leviticus 26: 21-22
To Please God
Six million people do things everyday to please God as if His supernatural power were that worthless in that He could not, instead, please six billion people on this earth today. Poch Suzara
History
History of most countries is about the struggle between tradition and revolution. Revolution usually means change for the better. In the Philippines, however, history is about the play between religious stupidity and politically insanity in cahoots together. The changes have never been for the better. It's the same history of missed opportunities. In fact, the political clowns together with religious clowns end up to be in charge of the same old historical circus that is keeping the Filipino religiously poor as a people and keeping the Philippines politically backward as a nation.

Bible Scholars
It is glaringly obvious, if not alarmingly translucent that not all of the bible scholars were inspired by the same Holy Spirit; for, if they were, they would all belong as members of the same church today. Throughout the world, there are more than 10,000 different sects of Christianity each hating the other due to, if not because of, the failure to uniformly understanding bible messages. Poch Suzara

SILLY OPINION
Opinion is the only thing known to science that can be created out of nothing. Compared to facts, however, an opinion is worthless unless it accords with the truth.
We are often told that everybody has a right to his or to her own opinion. This is not true. One does not have the right to an opinion at all. You are not entitled to an opinion on anything unless you have thoroughly studied all aspects, indeed, every facet of the issue in question. In fact, as soon as you are thoroughly familiar with the issue in question, then you are entitled to your own honest opinion. Otherwise, if you were totally ignorant of the the nature of the issue in question, you have no right to have an opinion.
In the meantime, millions upon millions of Filipinos have the opinion that the Revealed Truth has already been revealed in the bible. This is not true. Millions upon millions of Filipinos do not bother the read the the bible. It contains not the revealed truth, but the revealed lies and deceptions. Poch Suzara
Faith
We do not speak of faith that the world is round because we already know that it is not flat. Indeed, there is all the room in the world for faith if we do not know what exactly we are talking about and we only want to substitute hard thinking for no thinking at all. Poch Suzara
God
I take God seriously and that is why I do not believe in God. God is such a supernatural wimp, not to mention always sleeping on the job. God has yet to figure out not the beginning but the ending of his so-called “creation.” What a waste of power! Too bad I was not around when God created man on this earth. I would have given Him a few suggestions. I would have suggested that he create a decent mother first and at the same time create decent men around her. In this way, she could produce decent sons and decent daughters. That would have been the decent thing to do; and natural too. And never mind creating Talking Serpents corrupt from the tail down to the core of its own belly! Poch Suzara
What Makes me Happy
A great many things make me happy. Among the greatest is the thought that the Catholic Church is crumbling. I am so happy with the thought that there will be less Catholic schools established in the Philippines to victimize in the future more innocent children with the teachings of the Catholic religion. Imagine in this 21st century, Filipino children are still taught to love, worship, and adore Jesus Christ. This is the same Jesus Christ who was born not in the Philippines, but in Israel some 2,000 yeara ago. Israel has never been a Christian country. It is a Jewish State. Thus, in Israel a synagogue is a place of worship. A cathedral is a monument to historical mediocrity. In the Philippines, however, a catheral is a place of worship. A synagogue is a monument to historical insanity. Poch Suzara
Our College Graduates
Look at our college graduates as president and vice-president of the Republic; as congressmen and Senators; and as our governors and city mayors; not to mention as chief of police. These highly educated individuals, for the sake of the forgiveness of sin and crime will even run to the bishops, another group of men with college degrees whose religious duty it is to keep the Filipino spiritually poor as a people and to keep the Philippines morally bankrupt as a nation. Poch Suzara
The Voice of God
The Catholic Bishops often remind us that the voice of the people is the voice of God. I ask: where was then the voice of God to protect the first people - Adam and Eve – his first children, our first parents - from the evil voice of the serpent that turned out, according to the bible, to be the voice of the devil? Indeed, the same devil still alive and kicking today making sure that we believe the Catholic Bishops not only daily, weekly, monthly and yearly, but also eternally. Poch Suzara
Christianity
Christianity has always had a vested interest in human misery. Look at our misery as a people. Look how we continue to embrace sick values and sick beliefs mostly derive from our Christian education in our Christian schools, colleges, and universities. Look how we are told that this life is but a transition to a better life to come in the next world. Indeed, if this life were the product of a creator, then the next life, if any, must be more miserable than this life. To think that we humans live on a speck of dust comprising the infinity of galaxies. Poch Suzara
