Old and New Religion

In the old religion, God will provide. In the new religion, however, the universe will provide. If either were true, how come in the end no one can even survive? After a brief moment of life on this speck of dust called earth, we are quickly poofed out of existence and the billions of galaxies out there couldn’t care less.

Dear Jesus

Dear Jesus, Millions of your Filipino followers are filthy poor. Only a few of your Filipino followers are filthy rich. All, however, rich and poor alike, are waiting for your return. What’s holding up the show? Where are you Jesus? It has been more than 2,000 years already. Why did you make a promise you could not deliver sooner? Time has elapsed! Oh Jesus, do you know that millions of Filipinos who are college educated Catholics have to earn a living overseas. These are in foreign countries that do not even believe you to be the Son of God who performed wonderful miracles or that you are the Savior of the Filipinos! Poch Suzara

In School

In La Salle grade school and in high school we were threatened with punishment if we dared to read the great books written by great thinkers and philosophers. I somehow disobeyed. Down through the years, I began to clearly see why we are a people of childish prayers; and not a nation of matured readers.

Indeed, we Filipinos are born ignorant, not stupid; we are made stupid not by an educational, but by the powerful commercial enterprises otherwise more known as Catholic schools, colleges, and universities.

Beware

“Beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” Luke 12:15

Gee Luke, you are so right! What is the Church doing with abundance - its trillions of dollars in cash deposits in the Vatican Bank? Poch Suzara

Intellect

“The greatest of intellect without religion in the heart, is only civilized barbarism, and disguised animalism.” Bunsen

Well, what about the senseless death of Jesus crucified on the cross here on earth? His own Father in heaven abetted and tolerated the carnage; or, was that just a theological barbarism, if not just an ecclesiastical animalism? Poch Suzara

Dr. Harold J. Sala

This famous minister says that the science of archaeology has contributed more to substantiating the authenticity of the holy bible than most people know about. Really? What about the science of astronomy where it discovered that we are a speck of debris from the cosmic explosion? Where is that discovered and explained in the bible?

What about the science of geology that reminds us of our brief existence both as individuals and as a species? Where is that elucidated in the bible?

Dr. Harold J. Sala says that the bible was written in a world of flesh and blood, of commerce, of intrigue, of love and death. Hell, Dr. Sala! If these were the case, why would the authors of the bible need inspiration from a loving God to write such superstitious nonsense?

Phooey

Whoever slanders the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven: he carries the guilt of his sin forever. Mark 3:29

Phooey on the Holy Spirit. Phooey on the forgiveness of sin. Phooey on the guilt of my sin forever. And for being such a bully, phooey on you too Mark! What did you, as a superstitious author of God, really know anything about what is holy and what is a spirit? In fact, what did you know anything about God? Poch Suzara

Biblical Zombies

Here's one revealed truth in the HOLY bible as written by inspired authors of God: And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. And came out of the graves . . . And went into the holy city, and appeared to many.” Matt. 37: 52- 53. Quite a few of those biblical Zombies migrated to the Philippines and got to be installed as teachers and professors in our Catholic schools, colleges, and universities. Millions of us Filipinos got to be the "idiots," "Morons," "stupid fools" as we were all indoctrinated to believe their teachings as they were the resurrected zombies. They all frightened us to believe as well that we too are gifted with a FREE WILL especially to enjoy too after we are dead - the miracle of resurrection back to life with Jesus on earth as HE is in heaven! It is insane, isn't it? Well, here's another revealed truth written in the bible which nobody likes to read or to admit as a revealed truth: "THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING, NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY MORE A REWARD FOR THE MEMORY OF THEM IS FORGOTTEN." Eccl 9:5 Poch Suzara

The Human Body Created by God

"In cancer," wrote Bertrand Russell, "a group of cells engages in a career of imperialism, but, in bringing the rest of the body to death, it decrees also its own extinction." Well, about the 20 billion kinds of germs, bacteria, and viruses existing inside our body during birth? We are told the human body is God’s greatest gift to man. How wonderful. Sadly, however, the human body at birth, grows, gets old and it dies. The human body is eventually killed by those deadly little microscopic monsters - all bereft of moral values - deadly little creatures living inside our body as a housing facilities but gifted too with free will on this earth for the glory of God in heaven. It is, in this sense, that I ask: have any you ever met any one who has been blessed by God? Blessed how and for how long? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Original Evil

If this world, with all of its birth and pain, suffering and death, is the work of a self-conscious Being, then creation is the original crime and the creator is the original criminal. Which is which therefore: God will forgive us, or, we will forgive God? Poch Suzara

Ask Not

As not what you can do for God. Ask, instead, what God can do for you. After all, God has the power, the kingdom, and the glory. We humans have nothing! We even live on a speck of dust called earth lost in the immensity of space and time. In the meantime, we were taught to believe that God is omni-present and that religion is ubiquitous. And yet nobody knows where religion comes from just as much as nobody knows why God is always omni-absent! Poch Suzara

Columnist William M. Esposo

Columnist Esposo of Philippine Star wrote in the Philippine Star today Feb.19, 2008:

“Have you ever wondered if all this mess that we are in is
actually
outgrowths of the dysfunctional family relationships of our well-known couple."

Sir, may I refer you to the foundation of our values and beliefs keeping us spiritually poor as a people and morally bankrupt as a nation?

It comes from our most sacred book known as the holy bible. I hope these verses alone will inspire you to read more properly bible contents. In this way, you might conclude that most of the elements that make for our sick society comes from Christianity “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." John 2:15

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.”

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 12:51-53Suppose 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

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.”

Luke 19:27 “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.”

MAP Statement

For the sake of good governance, the management Association of the Philippines, (MAP) called on - “the religious leaders to speak out in thunderous language and condemn the moral degradation of our government bureaucracy, and we unequivocally join the Catholic bishops’ call for “communal action” to regain our moral compass and, with it, our nation’s dignity and self-respect.” Philippine Start Feb. 14, 2008

We are, indeed, a nation of childish morons. We call on the Catholic bishops to scold our rotten government officials who are the products of catholic schools, colleges, and universities in this only catholic country in Asia.

What exactly have these Catholic Bishops done during these past 400 years to teach the Filipino to have self-respect as a people and to have dignity as a nation? Why must our government officials continue the corrupt marriage between State and Church in our country?

The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men and women to keep on submitting to the destructive beliefs taught to them during childhood years by the Catholic Church and other Christian churches. Such religious establishments continue to keep the Philippines poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, sick politically, insane socially, and backward economically.

I said it before, I say it again: Look how we Filipinos love not our country, nor do we love fellow-Filipinos. We love only God up there as we were taught to hate this world and to hate one another down here? Poch Suzara

The Greatest Filipino Tragedy

The greatest tragedy of the Filipino as a people is his faithful tolerance for deadly ignorance. We are famous the world over not as a people mindful of health and sanitation, or thoughtful of law and order, or appreciative of family planning and birth control standards, or common human decency, or respectful of our women, but only famous for our faith in Jesus – the Son of God – the Savior of the Philippines born as a Jew in Israel some 2,000 years ago that today is not even a Christian country, but a Jewish State. We hardly ask: “What’s happening to our poor and backward country in this already 21st century?” We should, instead, be seriously asking: What’s happening to our so-called sacred values beliefs as the only Christian country in Asia? What exactly has Christianity in general, and the Catholic church in particular done historically to contribute anything substantial that have inspired the Filipino to live the good and decent life – one inspired by love and guided by the power of knowledge? Poch Suzara

Religion

“Any system of religion that has in it anything that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.” Thomas Paine.

Men and women who continue to have faith in what shocked them during childhood years in school have got to be the psycho-ceramics as called in the scientific term; or, in the layman’s language, – crackpots. Poch Suzara

My Religion

My religion is about enlightened unbelief; not the religion of frightened belief. Questions are far more important than the answers. After all, in time, the answers become obsolete. I question everything so as not to constrain my life of understanding. Poch Suzara

Bible Authors

Bible authors had no knowledge of the planet earth being round, rotating on its own axis daily, and orbiting around the sun yearly. Why did an All-knowing God inspire the bible authors to be ignorant of the science of astronomy?

In the meantime, why should God tell us how to raise and educate our children when he Himself had drowned and suffocated His own? Before the Flood, the loving God Told Noah: “To hell with sinners; to hell with your neighbors. SAVE THE ANIMALS.” Poch Suzara

Philosophy

I love philosophy. It begins when one learns to doubt. Especially to doubt one’s faith in the existence of hogmas, pigmas, and dogmas.

I love Philosophy as I hate theology. Philosophy teaches us HOW to think. Theology teaches us WHAT to believe. I remember as a little boy, with too much theology, I believed and had faith in a lot of religious hogwash! I am therefore grateful to philosophy: she saved not my soul, but saved instead my precious mind. Poch Suzara

Education

Owners of schools, College and university owners ought to be the guardians of civilization. Teachers and professors ought ought to be the guardians of a sane and a healthy society.

We think of education as the transmission of a certain body of settled knowledge. On the contrary, education ought to be about the development of a scientific habit of mind. Indeed, learning as a process of lively analysis, and not a matter of deadly paralysis. It is sad and painful to see college educated men and women of this country carry a heavy load of useless guilt on their backs. They are intellectually crippled by its destructive weight. It is, in this way, that they readily serve a silly divinity up there rather than play a role in the development of our country for its growth and maturity down here. Poch Suzara

Women Writers

No woman writer contributed a single word while the bible was being written by male superstitious primitives a.k.a. as the inspired authors of God. I love women. When it comes to religious writings, they have no taste for such superstitious garbage. Poch Suzara
