Sin

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8.

It is insane to imagine a supernatural Being still bothered with stupid sin in this 21st century. Billions of Christians, Jews, and Muslims have already been born, sinned, and died on this earth since ages ago. Especially since His own son Jesus pretended to die on the cross to save the world from sin. Indeed, when Jesus resurrected from the dead, so have the deadly sins of the world resurrected along with Him. Poch Suzara

Free Will

“Our Father who art in heaven,” "give us this day our daily bread," "lead us not into temptation" and “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Free will is a myth. A biblical joke. We have no free will. Where is our free will if we were only doing God’s will on earth as it is in heaven? Where is your free will to do something for yourself without God or without the devil?Indeed, where is your free sense to attain for yourself self-respect and dignity as a thinking man? Poch Suzara

The Fool

The fool said in his heart “There is no God.” Well, as a fool myself, I say, let’s assume for a moment that there is a God: so how come God is always omni-­absent everywhere all the time; never omni-present anywhere at any time?

Well, more to the point I ask: what if there is a God, but no life after death? What if there is life after death, but no God? Either way, it still sucks, doesn’t it? Poch Suzara

Let There Be Light

God said: “let there be light.” How strangely honest of God to admit that He was not a bright shinning light himself. He had to create the sun to light up the pitch universal darkness around Him. Poch Suzara

Wild Beast

"Even wild beasts are not as ferocious as these Christians in their hatred for one another."--Ammianus, 4th century Roman historian.

Please Sir Ammianus, no need to insult them - wild beasts do not hate each other in God’s name, nor do they kill each other for his glory in heaven. If they do kill, however, it is for the sake of survival as their creator couldn’t give 2 hoots about their existence on this planet earth! Poch Suzara

Divine Plan

Was God really that all-knowing? Did God have ample experiences so as to insist that he could remedy human affairs and improve global events?

Instead of creating Adam and Eve, He should have first created for himself a mom and dad, a wife and in-laws, grandma and grandpa, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, uncles and aunties, and cousins. In this way, God need not have been lonely as a supernatural orphan living all alone in the vast universal darkness. In fact, with such divine relatives, God from up there could have shown real examples of love and affection for the human family to emulate down here. Poch Suzara

St. Augustine Wrote:

“The measure of love is to love without measure.” So how come God’s love for the world was measured with a cheap, if not with a rotten free will? Augustine was responsible for the phrase “original sin.” Before him it was known as ancestral sin. One would suppose that Augustine became God’s favorite saint only because he conveniently made excuses for God - the original creator who started the whole original mess to begin with. Poch Suzara

The Bigger Fool

The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. Well, I ask: Isn’t God the bigger fool for creating the fool who denies not only God’s existence, but also rejects God’s creative power? However the case may be, why would God create the fool as he created all men and women in his own image and likeness? Poch Suzara

Silly Bible

Everything in this world begins with the new and then it becomes old. Except the silly bible. It begins with the Old Testament and then it becomes the New Testament. As if there were any difference whatsoever between old evil or new evil in the biblical Testaments. Poch Suzara

How Wonderful of Christ

How wonderful of Christ to have died on the cross to save the world from sin as the sins of the world too died together with Christ.

How dreadful, however, when Christ resurrected, so did the sins of the world also resurrected. Well, Christ did not go back to the drawing board; instead, he promised to return to finish the job. That was more than 2,000 years ago. Poch Suzara



The Bible

The bible is a good book; unfortunately, good for nothing. Tens of millions of Christians have not read the bible. If they read it, however, and read verses that were confusingly incredible, if not incomprehensible, they called it “divine wisdom.” Sometimes, they even thought of it as the “Revealed Truth.” Poch Suzara

If God Does Not Exist

If God does not exist, everything is permitted? On the contrary, according to the priesthood industry, God exists and therefore everything is permitted. Look how the faithful believers always take advantage of the sacrament of forgiveness of sin available from God at any time. Specially those sinners and criminals elected into high government office.

Such an arrangement has certainly generated wealth, power, and glory for the priesthood industry. After all they own the unregistered patent: they invented the concept of sin and eternal punishment that goes to hell with it. Poch Suzara

Test Everything

The bible clearly states: “Test everything. Hold on to the good.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:21

I say: test everything especially the good. It too might be good for nothing. Poch Suzara

Deadly Religious Morons

They would rather visit their dead loved-ones buried in the cemetery; but never, would they ever, even dream of visiting their loved-ones in heaven. In the first place, nobody knows whether their loved-ones made it to heaven; in the second place, nobody knows where heaven is located. Even the theologians do not know; though they know or rather pretend to know a lot about God, and that God is everywhere.

In the meantime, what is immortality? It is the condition of dead people who refuse to believe they are already dead. Poch Suzara

Lively Religious Morons

It is interesting to observe how the religious morons try to prove the existence of God precisely by proving the existence of their own ignorance.

Listen closely to these two morons debating: I do not how God created the turtle’s shell. You do not know how God created the turtle’s shell. We both know, however, that God created the turtle’s shell.

In other words, the existence of unsolved problems proves the existence of God.
To worship “God” therefore is to worship ignorance.

Nobility or Stupidity

What is so noble about turning the other cheek, if one knows that each time he does so, he is piling up greater heavenly rewards, while the one who strikes him is earning his stupidity as his rewards in hell? Poch Suzara



Silly Prayer

Crucified on the cross, Jesus dying cried out: “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Now if God would not listen to the prayer of his own begotten Son, why should God listen to the prayer of grown-up men and women petrified like a bunch of little boys and girls feeling also forsaken? Poch Suzara

Bible Lessons

As an atheist, I ask: where is the love of reading as a lifetime adventure taught in the Old Testament? Where is the joy of free thought explained in the New Testament? Where is the definition of a decent man and a civilized woman written in the bible? Where is the definition of a happy home with happy children described in the bible? Where in the bible does it explain how to settle international disputes not with hate and war, but with the audacity of reason?

If the bible is a good book, how come, thus far, the bible has only been good for nothing? In fact, where is peace on earth and goodwill to all men, women, and children inspired by, and encouraged with, bible lessons? Poch Suzara

Thoughtless

Those who fear reading provocative material are those who have been frightened since childhood formative years to think not for themselves. They are no better off than those who are un-schooled or functionally illiterate or emotionally bamboozled. Poch Suzara

Atheist and Christian

If you come right down to it, there is little difference between some of the goals of the Christian and the Atheist: both value helping their fellow man.

The Atheist, however, is drawn to this goal out of unselfish love and sympathy – which arise from his sense of human decency and intelligence. For the Atheist, the ultimate goal in life is human happiness by making others also happy.

The Christian, sad to say, is driven to it out of fear for his own eternal welfare. For him, helping his fellow man is not an end in itself, but only a means of saving himself from damnation.

The Atheist realizes that he could be mistaken about what his best for his fellow man; so he is willing to change his mind. He welcomes criticisms.

The Christian cannot admit that his ideas of right and wrong might be mistaken, because to doubt would, again, imperil his immortal soul.

Thus, highly-indoctrinated, the Christian is a blind, senseless, panic-stricken victim who must keep running until he drops. He has nothing useful going for him in this world except blind faith in lies, deceit, fraud, and deception especially about the next life in the better world to come after death. Poch Suzara
